I think the secret is to enjoy a peacefull life. Forget about the stress of life before. Simple things are good, decent food, friendship, pass times, having a snooze. Eveyone is different. Just enjoy. Happy retiment old dog.

Thank you for your kind words! It's always great to hear from someone who appreciates the importance of finding peace and enjoying the simple things in life.

Hey Pauly, just got to say, you made my day. Why? Just because you are such a great guy and so fun to listen to. Thanks for being you, and doing what you do. I for one, really enjoy it!

Many hard years added by smoking!! Just the facts, Paul. No judgment! I feel 78 years old! So there you go. Just had a FULL RT. SHOULDER replacement. Fun, fun! I love to explore like you. I am 61, 62 in March 24.

Thank You and Baby Mae for including me as One of those guys you met in person during one of my trips to Dumaguete as I have been watching for years in my journey and adventure and have take so many notes it has become a notebook. And YES Baby Mae is even Hotter in person as Paul is a Lucky old dog to have her and says something about him to have such a Beautiful classy lady that also has a fabulous caboose, face and sweet personality. I know your MORE busy now then ever in the states but amazed How much you dedicate to Expats, the Community and to the Filipino people. Not to swell Paul's head but you are a Great example and leader in the area. I didn't like allot of expats there at first and now see it as being Selective as I actually found it easier to connect with Filipinos and even more so on second trip. We all need to find our own Niche as the "Learning Curve" is more so then in the states. But will always employ the Adjust, Adapt and Accept adding Patience in there Thanks, other Paul

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @paulk8444 Thank you for your kind words! Baby Mae's beauty shines bright in person indeed. We're grateful for your support and understanding of our community-focused lifestyle.

[@VinnyZell-c3x]

Hey Paul I lost 30 lbs. myself after gaining little by little after a few years. It was a gradual weight gain. I asked a friend who lost 30 lbs. himself how he lost it. He asked me if I drank. I said not really once in a blue moon He then asked me if I drank soda. I said yes. He told me to stop drinking soda & just drink water. I asked him about my diet. He told me it wasn't my diet. I did what he told me & lost 30 lbs. in 3 months. It was the sugar in the sodas that built up over time. It was amazing. Glad to hear you lost 30 lbs. & you are doing well.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @user-sz8gu8ik2r Thanks for sharing your weight loss story! We've also found that simple changes like cutting out soda can make a big difference.

[@FreeAmericanSpirit]

Glad you brought up keto... I've been in it for a couple years now and it is an important part of my life. I have asked many YT people to do vids on what meat costs (not chicken/fish) and the availability of it. No one has done one yet.. Keto is simple. Few carbs No sugar Small eating window 8 am to 1 pm Fasting a couple times a month is very easy but I hardly ever do it now Only good oils/fats (coconut/avocado/olive) Went from 305 to 205.... Currently up to 225 because I went off the reservation for a couple months.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @FreeAmericanSpirit Thanks for sharing your keto experience! We've also seen great results with our diet here in Dumaguete.

[@martypoll]

Understandably there are a significant number of people who are both retiring and moving overseas at the same time. I was retired 5 years in the US before moving overseas. In my opinion it is retirement that is the big issue with respect to the question - what do I do with myself each day? It doesn’t matter where you are for that to be a big issue in your life. Moving overseas and adapting to the challenges that entails is just one of the things you do to fill your time . . . for a while. When you move overseas you bring your physical and mental baggage with you.

[@L4P-Monk]

IMO… all your life your baggage will follow you. I’m retired and an expat. Thank the Lord. The physical baggage was easy to 86. Be that as it may, I am so glad to be navigating the challenges of life as an expat. Compared to the alternatives it’s a blessing. My sister said I was brave. I think I am very fortunate.

[@cdub1955]

Paul, I just watched your video interview with Regular Guy. I am responding here, because I want you to see this. Paul, I was touched literally to tears with that interview and particularly your final thoughts that Baby Mae was your 'project'. And it led to you saying you are living your best life, and are happy, not afraid of death, you are a believer, Christian etc. I was just so overwhelmed by that, and just wanted you to know that what you are doing is just a wonderful thing. You do not need to hear that from me, but Paul, I needed to hear it, and I needed to tell you. Thank you....

Great video, Paul! You have such an intelligent and entertaining way of casually speaking off the cuff! I started watching you during the pandemic because I discovered I could continue to work remote and was thinking about keeping my NY salary and geomaxing to a cheaper cost of living. It backfired on me! But I still watch your videos!

Hi @jimsullivanyoutube Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoy my content and find it informative and entertaining. It's great to hear that you were able to continue working remotely during the pandemic and take advantage of a lower cost of living in the Philippines. It's not always easy, but it can definitely be a viable option for those looking to stretch their retirement savings further. Keep watching and staying informed! 😊

My typical day here in General Santos is to wake up, get a hug and a back rub from my soon to be asawa. Have breakfast made for me and then watch some utube as she heads of to work. I go for a walk before the sun gets up too high. I watch a movie or two and then attend my local church and do some volunteer work. Lunch is already prepared by my sweetie.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

It sounds like you have a wonderful routine in General Santos! Enjoying the simple pleasures in life is what makes each day special.

[@midlifewanderings]

Thanks for giving us a glimpse of your daily life, Paul. The Covid years, although it was disruptive and, to some ,devastating had brought something good also. I started regular exercise (because what else would you do if you can't go anywhere?) and it has helped me tremendously both mentally and physically. Workout has now become a part of my typical routine.

Good job on the weight loss. I did the same dropping about 70. It's not really that hard on paper...putting it into effect however...lol. Gotta drop all the processed packaged foods full of sugar and salt. No fast food. Limit restaurant eating. No breads or grains. Eat fresh whole foods including lean meats, fresh fruits and veg. Snack on seeds and nuts. Go easy on the booze and beer. Cook using healthy oils like avocado, olive, coconut. Once you implement this diet it becomes easier to maintain and the pounds will start to melt off.

Excellent video Paul thank you for sharing. I’m glad you’re on the carnivore diet I have been doing it for years. I wish I could’ve met you last July in Siquijor but Mae had strep throat and that’s life. Timing sometimes is good or bad and because of the Covid nonsense I ended up meeting my Filipina thru internet and friends ‘nagging’ me to use internet ( part of a long story I will share with you when we do meet someday ). I’m still working on getting my Filipina here in the USA. When that happens you will be one of the first to know because you and your videos helped me prepare for many things from travel at Covid times to understanding differences of the Philippines upon arrival so thank you again for all you do. It matters! You and Mae are always welcome if you want to take her to a State that has a heavy snow season for a new experience for her. God bless my friend and be well!

Most excellent on the one meal a day, intermittent fasting and the carnivore diet. Your health will benefit!!!! You can tell the difference with your weight loss. Some time maybe you would be so kind as to do a talk about where you shop and what you eat in a typical day if you don't mind.. That is one of my biggest concerns about moving to Cebu is the food choices. I am full carnivore as well as my Philippines girlfriend I did find Landers (kind of like a Costco setup), and they have a better setup with the meat and egg choices. Thank you again.

[@erf1971]

People need to realize that we will face this topic regardless of where you are. Retirement is the transition from from "prison" to freedom. In prison your routine is imposed, so you basically don't have to think, which makes freedom "scary" to some people.

[@Bruce-fd9lm]

Yup, you need to put effort into it. Don't be a slug.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @erf1971 Well said! Freedom requires adaptation and decision-making.

[@paulmarshall4794]

When people ask what do you do there, you should ask them what they do where they currently live? Outside sight seeing for the first little while, people tend to gravitate to what they do where ever they live. Myself I adjust based on the season. In the summer when the weather is nice, my friends and I get together once or twice a week, go golfing, play baseball, bbq, go swimming, all those summer activities. On my own I will go hiking or biking. In the winter my routine changes a little because the weather isn't conducive to all the same things I did in the summer. With the invention of indoor golf simulators we do get together every couple of weeks for a night of indoor golf. We will get together to watch a hockey game. I tend to travel south to enjoy the warmth every now and again. I tend to read more and watch a few more shows on tv. If I moved somewhere else, I would probably explore for a while until it became routine and then I would start back into the things I have always done where I currently live. It is surprising how much time is taken up just by living; things such as cooking, cleaning, shopping (groceries), getting the car repaired, etc.

Glad you mentioned to drinking, my parents has had an apartment building where normally a foreigner would rent out. As a kid, I saw a lot of these foreigners, would drink beer early morning, I kid you not! One particular guy was a German so I always thought as a kid, all German are alcoholic lol! Others were American foreigner, it was crazy how they would drink all day, by the time, I come home from school, they were still drinking. I have been watching your videos for a while now, and these are all I think at the back of my mind. I was thinking how are these expat going to extend their life in the Philippines if not all, most I see, in my hometown turn out to become alcoholics because alcohol is cheap.

Now I need to figure out what to do, since my retirement began yesterday! 🤔 I do know that my 26 day trip to the Philippines (12/30-01/24) is going to be extended, since I don’t have a job to come back to. So now I can go shopping for a house for my new family and I to live in. Hopefully we can get this done in January, so I don’t need to find another expensive Air BnB to stay in, during February… When I permanently move there in June, then I’ll have a base of operations, and I can go exploring.

[@dariusslade4953]

Sir Paul, so I should thank the "vid", for motivating you to start a KZbin channel that guided me on my year-plus adventure in the Philippines? 😅 Thank you for ambitious endeavour(s). So helpful and on point. However, I'm a person who needs context. After I arrived 9/12/22, I stumbled around for nearly a year...then your videos really made since😂. I had to face my own western interpretation and communication issues, but learn to see the BS and to handle it in a responsive but respectful manner (who's looking to get barred?). Accepting the contradictions and transactional nature of the Philippines is a real challenge for me (sign says, "don't feed cats" while people sit next to it...feeding the cats!). Oh, don't get me wrong. Contradiction are not unique to the Philippines. But it has a special twist. No need to say more...remember, who's looking to get barred?😅 You sharing your story/journey and insights have helped hundreds, if not thousands. What a legacy. I wish you many more years of shooting the "S" and sharing your perspective. However, about driving "I'm a walkin' man, no time to talk", "stayin alive!" d...formerly Big D! 😂

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @user-om4vs4rr8w Thanks for watching! We've had good experiences with dentists at Cebu International Dental Implant Center and Dumaguete City Dental Clinic.

[@chrisk373]

Would you recommend PRC to help set me up for my trip (where to stay, etc) to best experience Dumaguete? Or some other service?

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Prc does a good job 👏 Thanks for your support 🙏

[@randyr365]

Good Morning Paul☕

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Good morning! Hope you're having a great day!

[@danitzm]

I have been watching your channel since March 2020. It been awhile since you did a solo video with no guests. I really enjoy them. Sometimes it’s the highlight of my day.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@FreeAmericanSpirit]

Thanks

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Welcome

[@user-rv2zu1vb2c]

I would like to see a video of your dogs I had a labrador pup once the book made it easy to meet women

[@davidwright5619]

First thank you for all the information you share you mentioned golfing could you please expand on prices locations I don't trust Google..lol

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

I would if I could but I haven't golfed here so I really don't know, I have heard that it is a bit expensive

[@paulstill511]

Hey Paul, love the channel. My question is with regards to your partner...does she not work in the daytime? How does she support herself? All the best!

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

She has a you tube channel

But you are the main bread winner, with your US pension...​@@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234

[@AidaJof]

Way to go, Pauly -- you have had some keystone moments one of them was moving to Phils, meeting Baby Mae, loosing weight, keeping true to thyself. I have been lucky to have found you shortly after Covid and have enjoyed your content and became a fan when you married Baby Mae💖🙏💖 Blessings to you both and your doggies🥰🥰

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Thank you my friend ❤️

[@paulk8444]

P.S. Try Tootie's Kitchen as it is a Keto / Vegetarian wanna be and one of better ones in Duma

[@srh426]

My typical day with my Asawa... wake up to cooked breakfast (sometimes I cook to return the respect). After eating, she gives me my bath by hand. From there, we do whatever we want together. For us, being together 24/7 is best for us. Once a month, I fly us to another location in the Philippines. A province girl. She never expects anything I do for her. She's my Gwapa Asawa 😉.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @srh426 That's wonderful! We appreciate the love and respect you share with your wife.

[@jman2415]

Hey Paul been watching you for a minute now. Rock on I am,planning,on retiring in late 2025 at 62 my budget will be decent ( savings and rental income ) looking on making Cebu my home base just outside the city limits. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated thank you

[@johnkulik887]

One of the biggest questions I've had about moving to the Philippines is how easy would it be to maintain the Keto diet I've been on for the past 3 years. Is it easy to buy quality meat over there? Do you find restaurants accommodating of your needs?

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @johnkulik887 Quality meat can be a challenge, but we've found some reliable sources. Restaurants are getting more keto-friendly, especially in Dumaguete.

[@randyr365]

dont forget the months we were in rotation...that had account for a lot of time.🤣

[@richardhoneycutt1240]

The segment interviewed the for a $50 fee would cousil on topics concerning things to do before moving to the Philippine ie bank transfers and looking for housing.

[@dondiboy6758]

paul, you mentioned how you lost 30 lbs, many of us have also done.....however, i'm more interested on how you are able to keep them off....that's the real challenge and would appreciate your take on how to do that.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Great suggestion!

[@josephbanys8396]

My day starts with prayer,next two boiled eggs oh first I get dressed lol.also a bowl of oatmeal with a sogging,Then I grab a cup of coffee next I do what ever I want I love being retired

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @josephbanys8396 Love that morning routine! Simple pleasures in life are the best.

[@WendDesaulniers]

New Brunswick Canada, steady waiting for spring here...Need a passport. To get away.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hang in there! Spring will be here before you know it. Have you started planning your getaway yet?

[@WendDesaulniers]

Not yet, as a woman alone itis daunting. I enjoy living vicariously though you and yesterday at dinner with WIllie live, he was funny, he is a hoot.@@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234

[@toddshirley1798]

My flight was scheduled to arrive in Manilla at 8am the Saturday before the lock down.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @toddshirley1798 Tough travel day! We understand the frustration of dealing with unexpected changes.

[@ONELIFEONEKITCHEN]

Question. How far would a beach or river or any nice place to go swimming or just hanging on a beach or by water. Good locations to visit?

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @1life1kitchen We've got some great spots! Candijay Beach, Tanon Strait, and Hinagdanan Cave are our faves for swimming and relaxing.

[@bentonx9063]

the charge for subbing to a youtube while true isn't monetary but its your time and mental expenditure of energy and processing power, so not free. if you value your time at zero then it costs you zero I suppose. also if you pay to remove ads, youtube is trying to become a subscription service similar to a netflix, close to 20 a month.

[@paulinthephilippinesolddog9234]

Hi @bentonx9063 Appreciate the thoughtful comment! We understand the value of our time on KZbin. Thanks for pointing out the mental and processing power costs.

[@SteveG-pu7ps]

Hi Paul, I enjoy your video's! Im retired and will want to move to the Philippines in within 5 months. Do you recommend a date site you like?
