Reversing Cardio Vascular Disease (strokes/heart attacks), Meal Replacement, and Weight Control - It can be done all at the Same Time without Expensive Medication.

Who wants to live Longer and Feel Stronger into their Senior Years?
I don't mean sitting in a rocking chair. I mean being Active and Alive.
Who would you want to live an extra 10 years? An extra 20 years?
It is possible and their is science and studies to back this up (read more).


​As of 2 years ago, I changed my diet to a high vegetable and fruit diet. The positive results were noticeable within 1 week. 

Why? 
I discussed this with my doctor because I was gaining weight, my energy level was lower. my breathing was not what it used to be, I wasn't sleeping well, I was feeling aches & pains. I assumed it was based on me getting older. We ran some tests and after we got the results, my doctor said, "The bad news is that your blood is full of 'Crap' and it's building up on your arteries and veins."

What is it Like to Fly in the Clouds?

What's it Like to Fly in the Clouds?  

The other day I was Cloud Surfing At Flight Level 240 and 500 knots across the ground - skimming across the clouds and enjoying the view. What do you think? (comment below).

This video is my favorite because it looks like we are going to collide with another jet. Yes, you read that right. (See if you can find the point where it looks like 2 planes are going to collide). We don't, but it's a cool effect. We are flying to Incheon Airport in Seoul, South Korea (which happens to be only a few miles south of the DMZ (the Korean War Demilitarized Zone).

I hope you are do not get motion sickness easily. If you don't, then open this video on the largest screen you have.

In the comments below, let me know if you can see our shadow (the shadow of our jet), and what you think.

Consider watching this again with some young children. Make them a cape and tell them they are SuperMan or Captain Marvel. Let them fly and dream about reaching for the sky. For it is better to aim high and miss, then to aim low and hit.

Thanks for watching

Tropical Sunset Meditation from Our Patio in the Philippines

4/23/2020

Comments

 
Sometimes we just need a little time to relax and watch the sunsets. 

Everyday we are taking time out. A timeout to focus on what we are thankful for. I guess you could call this meditation. 

In December 2020, friends of ours will be offering retreats. 
If you are interested, post a comment below.

Living Off the Grid in the Philippines

4/23/2020

Comments

 
Hello World! Welcome to another episode of My Filipino Life, where we focus on Island Life, Happiness, and Activities.

Today we take a tour of our BackYard - also known as our Farm. My wife is from the Jungles of Leyte and her family has been surviving on Organic Farming for generations. So she is the expert on successful growing of great vegetables, Fruit, nuts, and animals.

Why are We Farming like This? We could buy from the local markets, but we do not know what we are getting. How was it grown? What kind of fertilizer/pesticide/herbicide? Was the land sanitary? Were the animals healthy or sick when taken to the market? The answer is, "I don't know." So we are doing it ourselves. For our health, for our daughter's health, and because we share our extra supply with our friends and neighbors (you'll see what my wife Rose calls this practice).

Enjoy the video and Like & Subscribe... It motivates us to make more videos for you.

If you are curious about Island Life, Expat Life, The Philippines, then ask in the comments below.

If you want to join us here on Tablas Island, see what we are doing, and buy a piece of our Off Grid Farm for yourself, let us know (Foreigners can purchase property in the Philippines. My wife Rose can introduce you to an attorney who has helped at least 10 others who have joined us here).

Cheers! Greg & Rose

What are Airline Pilots Doing During the Corona Virus Pandemic?

What are airline pilots doing during the Corona Virus Pandemic?
Life is tough for everyone around the world during this Corona Virus Pandemic. Malls and restaurants are closed, stadiums are empty, and the skies above our heads are quiet. Medical staff, grocery store workers, and delivery drivers work around the clock to keep things afloat. For everyone who can work from home, kitchens and living rooms serve as de facto offices. It’s a disconcerting and uneasy time for us all.

Do you ever sing in your car? Do you ever sing in the shower? Do you ever just hum your favorite song? In the Philippines, it goes much further than that. Give a Filipino a microphone and ask them to sing, and you will get a great performance. 
​Here are just a few examples...


This first example is a girl on the street during her lunch break. Please listen to her rendition of "Never Enough" and tell me what you think? (click video below)

What are Preppers doing with regards to the Corona Virus (Covid-19)?

In this article I will share:
  • What Preppers are doing during the Corona (Covid-19) crisis,
  • What's the difference between a regular Prepare and a DoomsDay Prepper.

As I have mentioned in other blog posts, we are not "Preppers" - My family and I are "Homesteaders" - we are not prepares.
(What's the difference? See below the 8 Key Differences between Homesteaders and Preppers).

What are Preppers doing now that the Corona Virus is upon us?
The people that I talked to said they aren't doing anything but relaxing and chuckling at the unprepared general public. Why? Keep reading.

Getting mail in the Philippines is much different than the USA. In the USA, the mail is delivered to your house (unopened). In the Philippines, we must go to the Philippines Post Office with a valid ID card, and request our mail. We also need to pay a fee if we have packages being sent to us.
