Moved to the Philippines, WHY?

List of reason why I moved to the Philippines

[@helenpeterson]

I have many Filipino friends here in NZ. I have met them all through workplaces and they are the hardest workers I know. They were always willing to step in and help me when my health declined to get me through each shift until I was medically forced to retire when I was 57. When they relax they put on the most lavish spreads for friends and family (still hardwork lol). I can honestly say I have made lifelong friends with them all. Now to the weather there, I would love the rainy season but cant do heat at all. Sometimes we have 4 seasons in one day here, just unpredictable. I couldnt drive there way too crazy for me lol. 😊

Hi again @helenpeterson 🙂, first I want to say I hope your heath is not getting worse. Thank you again for watching & commenting on the video. Yes I have not experienced the hospitality the way Filipino do with any other group of people. I used to travel to many countries when I worked and every place there were Filipino workers. It’s nice that your Filipino friends helped you out when you were going through difficult times. So you can have 4 seasons in one day is crazy 🤪. I guess you never know how to dress for the day.

@@mvj153 I have fluid on the spine that if removed could see me in a wheelchair so along with that and Fibromyalgia and other joint problems I live in constant pain but I hey I am alive, I can walk and do most things but know my limits. My Specialist told me I had to stop working, I used to be an Evening Cook in a resthome. The girls would help me lift heavy trays and pots, lift the mats etc for me to clean the floors each night so I didnt always have to bend down. The pain was unbearable and now just before Christmas I started going into Kidney Failure and to help with that I had to stop taking a pain medication so cant win lol. I have a huge supportive family, 2 adult children and 2 beautiful grandkids that keep me busy. Yes we have a beautiful country and I grew up in Lyttelton and will attach a video. It is part of stunning Banks Peninsula here in Christchurch NZ and at points 10.28 and 11.16 you will see my old family home which is Heritage listed. It is the mocha coloured 2 storey house with white fascia details. I woke to that Harbour view every day until I got married in 1991, it was never taken for granted. My parents sold the house either that same year or '92 cant quite remember but I moved from Lyttelton on Boxing Day 1993. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGbEgpuierqVgacsi=uKihac-u8cKhHJyE

Oh I think you would love New Zealand and our people and if you were ever to travel here please do the South Island (stunning vistas) and the largest Island of the main 2.

@helenpeterson thank you for watching the video and commenting on it. I don’t think I have been to New Zealand yet but the way you describe it sounds nice.

@@mvj153 I just wrote you a huge reply and its disappeared. This happened yesterday to me as well when commenting on a post. I have Spinal fluid that restricts my mobility but if removed could see me in a wheelchair. I also have Fibromyalgia but I can walk and do most things, just live in constant pain.
