My PI Dream
Philippines
Приєднався 18 лют 2016
For as long as I can remember, I've always had a dream of living on a tropical island. As it happens, life events come along and our dreams end up being just that...dreams without realization. Now that the kids are all grown up and doing well with their own families, I decided it was time to re-explore the dream of island living. So following some great advice on how to reach goals by defining them and making/executing a plan, I started on my path to build a new life in the Philippines. Being married to a former natural-born Filipino allowed us to buy some land near her home town and now we are in the process of building a home there.
This channel is devoted to vlogging this journey. Hopefully those with similar dreams might find something useful or hopefully entertaining here. And why "π" you might ask? "π" or "Pi" has been used over the centuries to find solutions to building goals. Here too I am doing the same...but this time the "PI" Philippine Islands...

How much ?
It’s amazing to see how busy you are being a retired professional and enjoying yourself and getting settled in Asia.❤❤
How much the entrance
Counting down the days will be in Cebu next June
So what exactly does it do - just display information or can you change parameters as well. If its just a display you could have used an old ipad to do the same thing. Why didn't you just Bluetooth the unit instad of running than cable? Thanks
Thank you for sharing this. Such a wonderful place.
hello....is Davids house still available....thank you Thpmas....
Just a quick out of context question if I may please James….. are you both staying in Philippines year round or do you go back to stateside every 1/2 year? Half year here and half there? If you stay in Philippines more permanently, please what type of visa are you using ( if that’s not too personal) We are thinking of going to Antipolo area and we are collecting information….. Thanks Mark
Do you actually use your swimming pool
Just fumigate the mango, 🥭 pausukan lang
Dave and Emily's farm is magnificent. I bet those dragonfruits are gonna be good, and I can practically taste the steaks! Can't wait to set up BBQ and grill some!
We had Emily's first dragon fruit picked. It was awesome. Looking forward to the next visit!
Hi james! Watching from tuscany italy ❤
Loved it James!
Not us style house
Land is just crazy prices here. 4046 SQM an acre. Even on the cheap 500php a SQM that 2023000php or over 34k usd an acre. Let me know if you ever see good land at 500 a SQM because you won’t. Land in my area is 7K a SQM and up!
Our subdivision is P10k/sqm. Other's with amenities similar to ours is around P14k-P50k/sqm in our area.
Ok James I need an intro for those Australian Steaks…whoa lol 🥩🥩🥩🇵🇭🇵🇭🌞🌞🍻🍻great tour thanks for the drone shots again !!
what a ganda farm and so much land. Great drone footage and the Steaks looked good too!
Awesome video James loved the drone footage.
Those steaks looked good Jame. I may have to fire up the smoker soon.
Very nice looking steaks, masarap.😂

Thank you so much! Now I have to try to fix my 43" TCL TV that has the same issue... no image!
That’s Dalandan James , we also had that in Bicol watching from Xiamen China
My asawa says it’s a Suha , it’s a type of grapefruit
those finger bananas are my favorite...they are just the sweetest and juiciest...
Greetings .... Your choice of song should have been .... "Feliz Navidad" ..... lol :) .... ua-cam.com/video/N8NcQzMQN_U/v-deo.html
Here in Kidapawan. It rains at about 4:30 or 5 . I enjoy your videos. Were far apart so there a slite difference in weather . I've already picked my mangos , and my avocado is bigger than yours but no fruit yet , everything else Is producing well. I'm 70 now soon 71. Take care.
Thanks for sharing!
It's been a while sige I heard from you. I'm here in ki9
Can you make a video with the other tv that didn't have backlight?
Sorry, but all my TV's are Samsung LED or OLED.
That might be a native orange, I hope it's sweet. That coconut roots might cause a little problem later on on your pool, stay safe and have a pleasant day.
Just curious James how much is that property that is for sale?
Hi Christina. Good to hear from you again. Here's the contact info for the agent for this property. He is the best to give you details and pricing from the owners. Rendell Marquez. Cell: +63 927 350 4191 / email: rendell_marquez@yahoo.com Best regards!
That mystery citrus tree looks a whole lot like a Shiranui Mandarin (also known as Dekopon orange). If true, you are extremely fortunate as it is a very fine high quality mandarin orange, one of the very finest citrus. It’s also known as Sumo mandarin.
Wow! I hope I'm that lucky! Thanks!
Good morning James and Ness!
That looks like an avocado tree. Your tree may have been mislabeled. Cut one open.
Magandaang umaga! 😍
Hello James. We have followed you for a couple of years now and really enjoyed your videos. We also live in the states and in North Luzon. We are completing our swimming pool at our house in Pangasinan. Just finished watching your solar battery upgrade video and just wanted to say thumbs up. We are currently adding a solar system to our home in California. Your videos always make my wife and me smile as it appears you enjoy the Villa Feliz experience. Salamat
Thank you for your kind words of inspiration!
I would love to bye that land. If I could only convince my wife..lol

Magandang umaga po James how are you❤
Enjoying life! Hoping you as well!
Very inspiring garden! I'm always learning something when I watch your garden videos. Finally, some rain and I think much more to come, great time for plants to thrive. Thanks for bringing such joy and happiness to the community, we need more of this!
