Tuesday, September 12, 2023 ☁⛅☁ No worries, Shay. 😀 For everyone who starts filming with a video camera, we all learn that the microphones on video cameras give us poor sound. This is just part of learning how to make videos. 📷 I bought a lapel microphone with a long cord. Of course, a wireless microphone would be easier to use! 😀 Your newer videos have much better sound! 🧑🌾👨🌾 By the way, with you and Leah, I really like to see you filming outdoors, with lots of green plants in the background! 🌾🌳🌴🌳🌳🦋🦋🌳🌴🌾 Plus you get natural sunlight. ⛅Having lush, green plants behind you makes a warm and welcoming backdrop! 🌾🌳🌳🌾🌾🌴🌴🌾🌾 I read several articles written by professional photographers. They all wrote that they prefer to take photographs outside, with natural light. Many photographers love to take photographs during the last hour of daylight, which they call - the golden hour. ☁⛅☁ We are getting into autumn 🍁🍂 here in Bloomington, Indiana, which means the leaves will turn yellow, red and orange. I just skimmed though an article on the website Seasons Year dot com, which explained that you get lots of rain this time of year. ☁🌧🌧☁ I wish you and your daughters a happy and productive September, Anthony 🌳🌾🐿🌾🌳🌳🐇🐇🌳
Hi Shay. First, I want to tell you I am in the west. I want to go to the Philippines but I’m not ready yet. Also, I don’t have plans to meet you, but if I had the chance somehow, I would be honored. Second, I think you have a boyfriend so since I’m not in your country and think you have a boyfriend I want you to know I’m not trying to get to know you. I want your opinion about something. I think it’s normal but many westerners don’t. So here it is. I have a belief that a man and a woman can learn from each other, especially if their cultures are different. When I say men and women can learn from each other I mean they can learn many different things from each other. No one knows everything. A man and a woman in a committed relationship can learn many different things from each other, regardless of their backgrounds, upbringings and how they deal with day to day things and problems and making decisions. So, if you would please, how do you feel about men and women learning many things from each other? I realize this video is older, but I study people and life. I pick up on things. I can do a good job at reading people in America. That’s all I know. The Philippines is a different culture and it might take me a while to learn to read Filipinos. I say that to say, I have watched many vlogs on the Philippines from expats and from Filipinas. You, Maya, and Leah to name a few Filipina vloggers I follow, and have noticed the differences in the wisdom of Filipinas is better than women from America. And because of that, I believe I can learn some things from Filipinas that American women don’t know or think they shouldn’t have to tell a man. So, how do you feel about men and women from different cultures in a committed relationship can learn a lot from each other? Also, how do you think Filipinas feel about that? That a foreigner can learn a lot from her just like she could learn a lot from her foreigner? If you are not sure about any part of my question, please let me know and I will try to help you understand better. Thank you for your insight into this topic, Phillip from America
the difference between you and all the other bloggers is your smooth, soft voice when you introduced this video. Keep that soft voice. How old are you and how many children do you have.....?
Hello Shay…I’m 657 and glad that Leah had you on her channel. This is the first video I’m watching from your library of videos. I will watch all of your videos eventually. You take care, along with with two daughters and stay safe. Bye for now…657, out!
Hi Shay, I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I'm very impressed by the way you think and the way you are expressing yourself with a calm voice. I can see that you are a nature lover, like me, and you get your inspiration from a quiet place. Keep making more videos the way you do, it is good for the soul...sincerely.
A brave thing to do, how many of us out here would be that confident... your friend is a friend indeed. Looking forward to the next instalment. Thank you, much love from France x
I really liked the plant behind you with the leaves very pretty, also was very impressed with the burgundy suit you were wearing with the purple top, very smart looking, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Just subscribed. Nice to know you would like Switzerland. I myself have lived with snow every year of my life. I would like the beaches and mountains of the Philippines. Thanks for the video and information. J
I spent 28 days in Philippines, back in September. The last 10 days in Zamboanguita, Negros. Sure do like the Dumagautee area. I will be back again after the holidays here in US.
I am a new subscriber so it was interesting to hear what past experiences have contributed to making you who you are. You are a private person so thanks for sharing, it was well done.
Hey good morning. I just come across you on Sharon's channel. You are very interesting , speak very good English, intelligent, and are very beautiful. I'm glad I found you.
You are very courageous to share about yourself as a private person. Thank you for the video. The quality was good and I enjoyed learning about you. I can see you like the mountains and waterfalls. I'm a high desert lover. I find peace in the quietness. God Bless You!
Hi Shay , We Met at the Airport in December. You & your Boyfriend Gave Me a Ride to My Hotel in Dumaguete , Thanks again & great to Meet you two . Negros Was Fantasatic & I Will be back Again This december. Chris
Hi Shay, you have a new subscriber from America, it's a pleasure to meet you. You have the most soothing voice and articulate pronunciation of the English language. I would be honored if you became my teacher for your native tongue. Thank You for your attention.
Hi Shay, hope you and children are well. Nice video, I can see why you don't talk yourself up, your maturity and intelligence is priceless. I believe your doing a fantastic job bringing home the bacon 🥓 😀 👏. Your children will be and should be so proud of you as a single motjer, beautiful too😉 I'm sure your channel will grow through the contents you provide and also some that us viewers would like to see. Stay strong wonder women, wishing you every success in life. May you stay healthy, happy, contented and just maybe you'll find your soulmate 💗 Keep up the great work here Shay, looking forward to many many more videos and let's see the subscription climb. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
@@reflections_with_Shay welcome Shay, really hope I get to meet you in person in Valencia. I have meet a lady from Cadiz, and I'll be visiting the Philippines as soon as I can, probably March next year. Take care, stay safe and keep smiling, you know when the sun rises we have another day in paradise 😊 ✨️
Hi Shay. I recently came across your channel and enjoyed the content. Also your interesting conversation with Jessel. I think you have a perfect attitude towards life and hope everything improves for you and your family. I'm an Englishman abroad looking for a serious relationship after 6yrs alone and the Philippines is my destination after Christmas to look for love. If I find someone of your calibre, I will be a very happy man. Take care and blessings to you and your family. 😊
I think so too! They are very independent, and they are growing up so fast. I am blessed that both are becoming good people. That is my main desire for them.
Loved your Q and A, I also watched you on Leah's channel where she interviewed you, that was a fun interview and you came out of it appearing to be a very special person. If you ever go to Valenca market on Sunday morning I will definitely come up to you and say hi.
Hello Ms. Shay, Great blog, love the scenery that you share. You area, I assume your home area is beautiful. I to am a very private person and don't share my problems with anyone or my issues or anything so I can totally relate. I can only imagine this because I have seen several of your blogs. But I do feel that you are a very strong woman and an independent woman. I admire your response to the question one of your scribers asked "What does happiness mean to you" (CONTENTMENT) that is exactly how I feel and how I like to live my life. I think you are a beautiful person inside and out. I feel that the people in your life are very lucky to have you in their lives. May you have all the Joy your heart can hold; All the Smiles a day can bring; All the Blessings a life can unfold; May you get the World’s best in Everything. God bless you.
Thank you so much Dan for such kind words! Yes, the Philippines is a beautiful country, as is my home area. And yes, I am content with who I am, and all I have. :-)
Hello Shay, it was an absolute pleasure to watch this video with such beautiful places that you showed. You come across as a very intelligent woman and a woman that loves life. Once again it was a pleasure watching. I hope you continue to do what you do in your creativity. May you have a wonderful blessed day.
Hello miss shay . i subbed to your channel two days ago . im in the far north usa , all nature here . i see deer out my windows every day . eagles sit in my trees . i also sometimes see bears in my driveway very rare but they are here , salamat ..............
Hi Shay, I’m a new subscriber. I saw your interview with Jess and that’s how I came to know you. Congrats on over 650 and I hope that you reach monetization very soon🙏🏼with your personality and dedication, I’m sure that will come to fruition very shortly.
Hi Shay , have just found your channel via Mayas and your one on one …. What an outstanding human being !!!!…the world could do with more people like yourself,thankyou for sharing all you do….subscribed and hit the bell 😜👍👍
What a fun day in the beginning! It was very nice to hear you share who you are and how you got here. Now we know what drives your passions and how you share what most miss you see.
That was an interesting show. Good to know a bit more about Shay. This is the 2nd video I have watched. I really like the calm way you talk, it is so soothing. I have another friend in Bali that does a TH-cam channel with a calm voice. I hope to return and visit and possibly retire part-time in the Philippines. What is your favorite Island or area? Have a Magical Day.
Thank you so much MrBuzzSargent! There are many islands I enjoy, like Palawan, Siquijor, and the peninsula MoalBoal which we just made a video of. But I live on the island of Negros Oriental.
Thank you for sharing about yourself, Shay. I have visited Switzerland and it is very beautiful but too cold for me. Maybe you will make it there one day. I too am very private and since I have an introverted personality, I prefer to think through my issues. I walk 11 kilometers 4 times a week which provides the perfect environment for solving all of life’s problems…😊. I saw your interview with Leah which led me to check out your vlog. I subscribed to your channel today and look forward to watching previous episodes and anticipate what’s to come. I have my flight to the Philippines booked for April 2023. It’s an exploratory trip to determine if the Philippines is right for me. If you know of someone who helps expats look for rental property, a referral would be much appreciated. I wish you the best with your vlog.
Hello, I'm glad you enjoyed the vlog. Welcome aboard! Get back to you in a bit about the other points you mentioned. Thank you so much for subbing to my channel.
Beautiful video. I really loved the introduction. This short time later you now have more than 3x as many subs. Congrats. Looking forward to seeing this channel grow. 🙏🧡
Switzerland? It's very cold there, you would go from the oven in the Philippines to the Freezer in Europe.🤣 You are lovely, BTW! I too don't share problems, I tend to internalize them and work them out myself.
I see that in other videos of people traveling through the United States saying how beautiful it is in places like Montana. But that is summer, try winter it's a little different. Perhaps Shay could find a supermarket that would let her sit in the freezer for an hour or so. I wonder if Shay has visited Mount Pulag in the winter? She may have some experiance with mountains when it's cooler. Shay seems to be a very smart person.
Shay, I just found your channel via ask an old man channel. I’m a new subscriber and just love you channel and content. I just had a thought and maybe you’ve thought about it, but I think you’d do great at being a matchmaker for finding good decent women in your country men who are looking for traditional women for marriage.
Greetings and welcome Summerday, our channel dedicated to semi-documentary and reflective content. Regrettably, I'm concerned that I may not be able to meet your expectations with the suggestion you've just made.
Yes you should be very careful who you tell your problems to, only very close friend you know to be a good confidant like your husband or a good friend
Thank you for sharing some of you. One day, we may become neighbors. My wife and I are thinking of buying a place in Dumaguete. We would love to learn some photography tips from you.
Thank you so much for all of your support Stephane, and for your generous donation to my channel! Good for you for moving to Dumaguete! And, breath your photos would be my first tip! More to come later :)
Nice interview Shay. Done with modesty and sincerity. Hey- your eldest daughter has overtaken you in the height department! Watch out! lol You mention you were poor when younger, but i am sure never poor in spirit and happiness, Your mother did well. Keep 'bringing home the bacon' Shay!
Geday Shay, it is a breath of fresh air to listen to your talks, I also razed my own 4 children alone, it was the best time of my life. I was a Wildlife Officer for 20 years, I live in the Darling ranges of Honeymoon road 90km south of Perth.on the north side of the Harvey Dam 750 feet above sea level . I can also see the sea 20 KL to the west. 🦘 kangaroos visit me every day. When I see the sparkle in the eye of the Robin redbreast I feel it's God telling me I love you Rob. It's good to know there genuine nature lovers in the world, You are one of them. Next time I walk in the forest in my 💜 heart you will be with me. God has truly blessed you Shay stay safe Robert 🙏
Wow, you are so impressive. I have only seen you on 3 videos so far, so, do not know you very well. But, I would say that your 3 characteristics are, insightful, resourceful, balanced. To sum it up, Wow!
To answer your desire to settle in Switzerland... It is one of the countries where nature, mountains, valleys, lakes, alpine-type forests are indeed predominant, on this side, you will be fulfilled and since you have expressed this wish, you must have already found out about it... I can only encourage you to find out about the pros and cons. The "pros": economically and democratically very stable country, quality infrastructure, transport, roads and services (hospitals, banks, various administrations...), participation in political life by democratic poll(s)... In Switzerland, it is traditional that the decisions of the people are EFFECTIVELY taken into account by the federal (regional) authorities and then passed on to the government. The "cons": very high cost of living (housing, food), social relationships difficult to establish due to differences in perception and cultural norms, language barriers, although young people and professionals are used to speaking English, you will have to learn to speak German (65% of the territory), French (25%) or Italian (8%), Romansh (2%, dialect spoken towards the border area with Austria) The risk of isolation can be felt but if nature easily restores you then you will end up feeling more in harmony and many Swiss will feel in you this authentic love for their land, which will give you an opening to their heart and I sincerely believe that they favor quality over quantity. The weather also is an important factor, be careful with the weather, it is not at all the same as in the Philippines, Switzerland has 4 distinct seasons and benefits from a temperate climate, with cooler temperatures (even negative) in winter and frequent rains. A local adaptation to the presence of snow is essential, at least 4 months during the year, so you will have to learn to ski or move easily on the snow if you prefer to live outside the cities, it will also bring you a lot of pleasure and open your circle of relationships because it is common to ski there, the road network and snow removal services are of quality and very efficient. I forgot ... The education system is also efficient and allows easy orientation of students in 2 branches, general and professional, while also allowing a reconnection from the professional to the general, to access university studies, much more affordable than in the USA where students have to get into debt to enter college. As a European, I find this scandalous, but hey, it's their way of doing things... Swiss are a courageous, hard-working, disciplined and humble people, respectful of the standards that give everyone the necessary individual happiness. You won't hear any wild animals there, and it's also not recommended to make noise on weekends (e.g. mowing your lawn, doing tinkering loudly) otherwise you risk getting a visit from the police and having to pay a fine for daytime noise... Yes, each country has its own rules, like in the Philippines, of course ! Don't hesitate to contact their embassy, they'll be happy to enlighten you ! facebook.com/SwissEmbassyPhilippines/ + instagram.com/swissembassyphilippines/ + en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines%E2%80%93Switzerland_relations

Very good Ms. Shay, congrats on growing your channel it takes time you're doing well, I enjoy your vlogs
Thank you for always being there to watch, Dharri. 🤗.
Such a beautiful video
Thank you so much, Amick!
You are a visual poet, and a burgeoning poem. You understand.
What a fun day in the beginning! It was very nice to hear you share who you are and how you got here. Now we know what drives your passions and how you share what most miss you see.
The beginning was me being afraid of heights 😀
you are absolutely beautiful ❤️
Thank you so much!!
That was an interesting show. Good to know a bit more about Shay. This is the 2nd video I have watched. I really like the calm way you talk, it is so soothing. I have another friend in Bali that does a TH-cam channel with a calm voice. I hope to return and visit and possibly retire part-time in the Philippines. What is your favorite Island or area? Have a Magical Day.
Thank you so much MrBuzzSargent! There are many islands I enjoy, like Palawan, Siquijor, and the peninsula MoalBoal which we just made a video of. But I live on the island of Negros Oriental.
Cool channel, your very intelligent and breathtakingly beautiful. I will enjoy watching your vids, take care, God bless
Hello, X Nitro! Thanks for visiting my channel. I hope you'll like my other videos.
Nice to meet you. Ur beautiful
Just a thought, be careful with your internalisation cheers😊
Lovely...🙏
Thank you! Cheers!
If you like Switzerland take a look at BANFF,CANADA
I'll check it out. Thank you!
Very interesting you’re a very smart woman. Good vibes.
I appreciate that, thank you so much. Thanks a lot for subbing.
Thank you for sharing about yourself, Shay. I have visited Switzerland and it is very beautiful but too cold for me. Maybe you will make it there one day. I too am very private and since I have an introverted personality, I prefer to think through my issues. I walk 11 kilometers 4 times a week which provides the perfect environment for solving all of life’s problems…😊. I saw your interview with Leah which led me to check out your vlog. I subscribed to your channel today and look forward to watching previous episodes and anticipate what’s to come. I have my flight to the Philippines booked for April 2023. It’s an exploratory trip to determine if the Philippines is right for me. If you know of someone who helps expats look for rental property, a referral would be much appreciated. I wish you the best with your vlog.
Hello, I'm glad you enjoyed the vlog. Welcome aboard! Get back to you in a bit about the other points you mentioned. Thank you so much for subbing to my channel.
Beautiful video. I really loved the introduction. This short time later you now have more than 3x as many subs. Congrats. Looking forward to seeing this channel grow. 🙏🧡
Thank you so much Mr. Quackers for helping me make this channel grow!
Switzerland? It's very cold there, you would go from the oven in the Philippines to the Freezer in Europe.🤣 You are lovely, BTW! I too don't share problems, I tend to internalize them and work them out myself.
I see that in other videos of people traveling through the United States saying how beautiful it is in places like Montana. But that is summer, try winter it's a little different. Perhaps Shay could find a supermarket that would let her sit in the freezer for an hour or so. I wonder if Shay has visited Mount Pulag in the winter? She may have some experiance with mountains when it's cooler.
Shay seems to be a very smart person.
Shay, I just found your channel via ask an old man channel. I’m a new subscriber and just love you channel and content. I just had a thought and maybe you’ve thought about it, but I think you’d do great at being a matchmaker for finding good decent women in your country men who are looking for traditional women for marriage.
Greetings and welcome Summerday, our channel dedicated to semi-documentary and reflective content. Regrettably, I'm concerned that I may not be able to meet your expectations with the suggestion you've just made.
Greetings friends from Indonesia 🇲🇨
Hello! Thank you for visiting my channel.
Like i expected, worth waiting for, thanks Shay for a good Vlog, just waiting for the next one 🙂
As always, I appreciate your time watching my content. Thank you so much.
God bless you
You too Marcus!
Yes you should be very careful who you tell your problems to, only very close friend you know to be a good confidant like your husband or a good friend
Thank you Dennis!

Thank you for sharing some of you. One day, we may become neighbors. My wife and I are thinking of buying a place in Dumaguete. We would love to learn some photography tips from you.
Thank you so much for all of your support Stephane, and for your generous donation to my channel! Good for you for moving to Dumaguete! And, breath your photos would be my first tip! More to come later :)
Nice interview Shay. Done with modesty and sincerity. Hey- your eldest daughter has overtaken you in the height department! Watch out! lol You mention you were poor when younger, but i am sure never poor in spirit and happiness, Your mother did well. Keep 'bringing home the bacon' Shay!
And a year from now, the youngest will likely be taller than me too 😁. Thanks for watching, Michael!
I enjoyed watching this channel. You are so awesome and honest.
Support from Korea. God bless you and your family 👪 ❤😂... salamat po.
Hello, BK! Thanks for watching! I hope everything is well with you.
Nice to know you darling ❤️
Philipines seems very cloudy. I like to see stars at night.
We have had rain since October. We do have stars at night time outside rainy season.
Awesome... New subscriber... You are really cool... looking forward to watching more vids from Dumaghete..
Thank you so much Jim for your support! Many more videos coming! :)
Geday Shay, it is a breath of fresh air to listen to your talks, I also razed my own 4 children alone, it was the best time of my life. I was a Wildlife Officer for 20 years, I live in the Darling ranges of Honeymoon road 90km south of Perth.on the north side of the Harvey Dam 750 feet above sea level . I can also see the sea 20 KL to the west. 🦘 kangaroos visit me every day. When I see the sparkle in the eye of the Robin redbreast I feel it's God telling me I love you Rob. It's good to know there genuine nature lovers in the world, You are one of them. Next time I walk in the forest in my 💜 heart you will be with me. God has truly blessed you Shay stay safe Robert 🙏
Wow, you are so impressive. I have only seen you on 3 videos so far, so, do not know you very well. But, I would say that your 3 characteristics are, insightful, resourceful, balanced. To sum it up, Wow!
Your compliments brighten up my whole day. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
@@reflections_with_Shay You are most welcome, and thanks for making my day better. :)
I love the way you think and you’re so pretty❤❤
Thank you, Cole.
@@reflections_with_Shay you are very welcome beautiful. I hope you have a great evening and even better morning. Rest well sweetie
To answer your desire to settle in Switzerland... It is one of the countries where nature, mountains, valleys, lakes, alpine-type forests are indeed predominant, on this side, you will be fulfilled and since you have expressed this wish, you must have already found out about it...
I can only encourage you to find out about the pros and cons.
The "pros": economically and democratically very stable country, quality infrastructure, transport, roads and services (hospitals, banks, various administrations...), participation in political life by democratic poll(s)...
In Switzerland, it is traditional that the decisions of the people are EFFECTIVELY taken into account by the federal (regional) authorities and then passed on to the government.
The "cons": very high cost of living (housing, food), social relationships difficult to establish due to differences in perception and cultural norms, language barriers, although young people and professionals are used to speaking English, you will have to learn to speak German (65% of the territory), French (25%) or Italian (8%), Romansh (2%, dialect spoken towards the border area with Austria)
The risk of isolation can be felt but if nature easily restores you then you will end up feeling more in harmony and many Swiss will feel in you this authentic love for their land, which will give you an opening to their heart and I sincerely believe that they favor quality over quantity.
The weather also is an important factor, be careful with the weather, it is not at all the same as in the Philippines, Switzerland has 4 distinct seasons and benefits from a temperate climate, with cooler temperatures (even negative) in winter and frequent rains.
A local adaptation to the presence of snow is essential, at least 4 months during the year, so you will have to learn to ski or move easily on the snow if you prefer to live outside the cities, it will also bring you a lot of pleasure and open your circle of relationships because it is common to ski there, the road network and snow removal services are of quality and very efficient.
I forgot ... The education system is also efficient and allows easy orientation of students in 2 branches, general and professional, while also allowing a reconnection from the professional to the general, to access university studies, much more affordable than in the USA where students have to get into debt to enter college.
As a European, I find this scandalous, but hey, it's their way of doing things...
Swiss are a courageous, hard-working, disciplined and humble people, respectful of the standards that give everyone the necessary individual happiness. You won't hear any wild animals there, and it's also not recommended to make noise on weekends (e.g. mowing your lawn, doing tinkering loudly) otherwise you risk getting a visit from the police and having to pay a fine for daytime noise...
Yes, each country has its own rules, like in the Philippines, of course ! Don't hesitate to contact their embassy, they'll be happy to enlighten you ! facebook.com/SwissEmbassyPhilippines/ + instagram.com/swissembassyphilippines/ + en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippines%E2%80%93Switzerland_relations
