   1. first, i didn’t delete your comment, all comments are ‘under review’ before being approved. but since you decided to be such an impatient baby about it, i decided now to delete it since there’s no need to have it here twice.

      second, “sensitive much?”. for sure you are easily confused. i don’t throw money at my g/f or her family. that’s a false assumption on your part. maybe spending a nice day with the family is more than your cheap-charlie ass is willing to do. if you can’t or won’t afford a nice day out, that’s your own personal problem.

      seriously, you sound like such a crybaby to be bothered that i’d be gracious with my own money. none of it came out of your pocket, so go cry somewhere else about how much you can’t stand to see others enjoy their life.

   2. @Reekay’s LifeBeyondTheSea Fair enough my apologies for assuming otherwise.

   3. i didn’t delete her comment. she must have done that herself.

   4. @Reekay’s LifeBeyondTheSea If you’re going to leave your reply to Elise Zul up you should at least have left her comment up to be fair.

   5. Elise Zul.. your assumptions are all wrong. i never said vietnam was a better place to stay than the philippines. you did not listen. i said that the each has a different lifestyle to offer and that the infrastructure in vietnam is better. which it is, that is simply the truth.

      as for the woman i dated for 3-months, again.. i never said that she was better than filipinas. i said that she is a world traveler, owns 2 restaurants and has paid off her house and car. if you take that personally or against all filipinas then that is your mistake.

      in the future, pay attention to what is actually said rather than being so thin-skinned that you take offense without hearing what is actually being said. then you wont’ embarrass yourself.

2. I like seeing you happy man! A good woman is blessing. Just found out we are having Twins. … oh my lol

   1. wow!! congratulations. 😀

3. I’m so happy for you bro , you been through a lot and now you find someone to make you happy . l think she really love you , she is beautiful and smile a lot , that is wonderful . l wish you all the best and hope this love story will last .

10. Enrique: She looks like a very nice girl. Good luck to the both of you.

11. Bad news on Vietnam guys…….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHjqHiFgayQ

    1. @Reekay’s LifeBeyondTheSea Yep …guess they got their inspiration from their neighbors…bad ideas travel fast!

    2. yah, that new 30-day exit on tourist visas was quite the surprise. i’d heard a rumor last year but didn’t think they’d pull the trigger on it. goes into effect july 1st, 2020.

12. As long as everybody is happy, good for you all…

13. do how you meet her that would be nice

14. Even though spent long time in Vietnam. It’s the Philippines that always best shot at romance .

15. You’re a cute couple, and Vi is a little bitty thang!! Very pretty too.

16. Reekay, you’ve got the life, man. I ex-pated it for a few years in NE Brazil and then most recently in Angola and the DR Congo.
    I brought my wife over from Kinshasa on a K-1 (fiancee visa) in 2017. Our 3 year anniversary is coming up in April. She’s happy. I’m happy. You have a great you tube channel. Keep it coming. Much happiness and success to you. Mike from Miami.

17. Oh yeah. You’ve got a good one there. Hold onto her. Don’t let her go.

18. Hey small world there sailor! I live in Samal about ten minutes walk to Island Garden City! Lets get together for coffee one day while you are here!

19. Wow it’s sureal that the blogger I’ve been watching is so close to my soon to be hometown. We built a beachhouse on that island on SE part of Samal thats almost done. A day of driving around samal is a nice tripping. The eastside has pristine waters great for snorkeling and diving.Prices of beachlots have gone outrageous though!

20. Henrey , so pleased for you , Vee has such an open , lovely face , personality to match, tread carefully and nurture the relationship

21. I spent 1 week on Samal Island at the resort with my Fiance called Costa Marina along with touring the Island and Hagamit Falls. It was a very relaxing and wonderful time.

22. How wheelchair accessible is it. Looks great

23. Enjoy your time but just be very careful in Samal Island. Three foreigners – two Canadians and a Norwegian – and a Filipina were abducted in a resort in Samal Island in 2015. Their life ended tragically. 11 armed men of Abu Sayyaf stormed the Holiday Ocean-view Resort and took off with a speedboat. They also attempted to kidnap a Japanese couple but failed after they fought back. Maybe the couple knew some martial art or they were just not the agreeable type? https://www.rappler.com/nation/106687-abduction-samal-island-davao-del-norte

24. Stay away from Holiday Ocean view same area as https://news.abs-cbn.com/nation/regions/09/26/15/samal-kidnap-victims-taken-sulu-duterte

25. Beautiful Island, with the company of a beautiful lady. Very nice, Reekay!

26. I’m really happy for you. I wish you guys the best. Mark

27. She is young but a very sweet girl congrats Henry

28. Oh wow your in love- cool

29. I met my Filipina when she was 21, at 30 her instinct for being a mommy started, we now have a beautiful 2 mo. old daughter, it will greatly strengthen your relationship and fulfill your woman..

30. Love your channel Reekay!!! New channel here. Please watch my videos.
    I’ll be in the Philippines (my motherland) for 28 days. January 31 to
    February 27. Cebu (Cebu City), Luzon (Manila, Vigan, Candon, Laoag,
    Angeles City), Palawan (Puerto Princesa, El Nido), Bohol (Tagbilaran,
    Dauis), and most likely other places not mentioned. Lots of videos
    definitely coming up! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!!!

31. congrat’s so happy for you, i hear good things on davao

32. Shes one loving filipina its normal for the girl to bring family members along. There culture!!

33. Wow Reekay I think you found the ONE. She is cute , but you can see an Honesty gentle nature to her. Best wishes…

34. Great to see you looking so happy now Reekay, Vi looks a real sweetie, and she’s not afraid to show how much she loves being with you. Enjoy getting to know one another more and more, and best wishes for a great future.

35. That looked a nice place I intend travelling to Daveo this year to meet my girlfriends family

36. She is so CUTE and pretty, you lucky guy!

37. Can we just stay to eat and leave. Any entrance fee?

    1. yes, this is what we did which is called a, ‘day pass’ or ‘day use’. each resort has their own fee. at villa amparo it was about double what other resorts in negros oriental charge.

38. The manis in love

39. so you come back to the phillipines nice girl ,how old 23 looks happy buddy

40. Always have loved your videos especially your Philippines videos… She has a great personality not to mention she’s beautiful… Way to go dude! Been watching your videos for years!

41. Great job Reekay. Have many friend in Davao area . Nice place , despite marshal law in place still… which keeps things in order for sure . Keep missing you in Duma , but one of these days for sure . In Tarlac from Vancouver this week , and Lapaz area , some resorts , an orient cruise, that back to Tarlac, then Duma for a Month…. different world . When I come back for the summer to Canada I have this sinking feeling…. the angry people, materialism, rank feminism, socialism….. way too many “ism’s “ to enjoy life as a guy in North America anymore . God bless to you both and family- James

42. What a beautiful resort ! You have a beautiful and sweet girlfriend

43. very nice videos Reekay, it’s good to see you back in the Philippines. I think it suits you better than Vietnam

44. Beautiful place, On our most *Special* place we went farther around the island to Island Garden Resort in Pangubatan
    Soo quite and peaceful to spend our time together…
    The beginning The middle and Forever

45. Hey Henry, a question a lot of people would benefit from would be “how much work to you do for a video? You make this life look easy and some may think aha I could do this and not realise just how much work goes into your channel. Constant work would mean sometimes having vloggers block and yet if you don’t post you might loss money. Can you give us a little feedback? Thank you.

    1. i covered much of what’s involved in vlogging in this video. learning some new tech-skills on a regular basis is key to doing better editing and marketing.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POw2q6nxXW0

46. looks good there mate…long time no speak….what happend to vietnam??
    your lookin very slim too
    lovely lady you have too
    great vid mate

47. Another nice vid RK, enjoyed it, hope you and your GF are blessed and enjoy your life. Blessings always from NW USA. 🙂

48. What happened to the Vietnam adventure?

    1. i spent a year in vietnam, did over 90 videos there. now i’m in the ph and looking to return to vietnam perhaps next year.

49. Glad to finally see you happy with a pretty philipina

50. Samal Island is a great place. We stayed at the Pearl Farm for a week. It was great. You guys look great together and you look very happy.

51. Thank You for sharing this vlog look forward to meeting you

52. Loved the video Reekay, Your Gf is awesome and so beautiful. She loves you very much by the way she smiles constantly haha, so happy for you. Take care!!

53. Is Samal Island safe now? There was a much publicized kidnapping there in 2015 of 3 foreigners and 1 filipina by Abu Sayyaf – the 2 Canadians were later killed, as Canada refused to pay the ransom demands.

54. Reekay, I think I was at that resort in February 2018. I think that resort was being built or renovated when we were there. I remember that swimming pool and that beautiful view. I just didn’t know the name of it. We were in Davao and caught a ferry boat to an island. Thanks for sharing and enjoy yourself with your new lady. You deserve it .

55. U should merry this girl at once now

56. Im so happy to see you with Vee finally after hearing so much about her. I figured she would have to be a very lovely girl and i was not disappointed. You have inspired me so much through the years and you are a large reason why I’ve been in a successful relationship with a Filipina now for over 2 years. We hope we get to meet you both someday. Take care always!

57. Looking very happy. Happy for you and glad you found a lifetime companion. You make a great couple!

58. Hi. Hope you’re having a good time. I was there last February. My wife works there now as cook. Enjoy

59. She seems very sweet and attentive.

60. Awesome, I was there back in June of 2019, lots of resorts on the Island. I loved Davao, only saw about half a dozen other white guys while I was there, stay frosty.

61. Nice to see you with your new girlfriend..sweet she is…best wishes and congrats to you both

62. I enjoy your vids very much as for people making comments you just have to except that some people don’t have a clue and move on as for me I enjoy your channel very much it is informative and I love it when you do some traveling around. I have only traveled around on Luzon but would like to come for a Vacation and see some other Islands . My work friend is getting married to a Filipina and I wish him all the best Im going to point him to your channel so he can be more informed about the Filipino traditions and life. Thanks keep up the great vids.

63. Is it safe There? I remember only about 2 yrs ago some foreigners were kidnapped from the back of samal island…it looks great anyhow a few nights should be ok

64. Your vids are great. Philippines looks like an expat paradise. Is there any fear that it would be conquered by China if the US collapses?

65. Reekay, You look 10 years younger and HAPPY!

66. How tall are you Reekay? And how tall is your girlfriend?

    1. i’m just over 5’9″ and she’s about 5’3″.

67. What a beautiful resort great place to relax at with family and your significant other you look much happier and your gal looks and seems like a great person.

68. I like the documentary-style approach to your content; informative yet not lecturing; detailed but never dull. We get to discover along with you. Can I ask, at what age you made the jump to live in the Philippines? I’m 50 and planning my move over in about 3 years.

69. I’ve been following your channel for years. Before I even been to pinas. It’s the happier I’ve seen you I think. And now ive been 3 times and found love also. Mabuhay!

70. Henry who is older woman with yellow shirt/sweater? La suegra?

71. Wow 100 dollars just to go to beach ? Ay nako
    But beautiful

72. I love how Filipinas are not scared to act feminine. I male/female dynamic in the US is so ruined. I almost feel like an NPC. Going MGTOW in the States is almost just a safer route.

73. That resort looks spectacular Henri! Glad you, Vie, and her family enjoyed the day!

74. Beautiful place hope you enjoyed it

75. Wasted your time in Vietnam brotha.. good to visit, but Pi is more hospitable, compatible with Americans.. many more sincere, good province girls for partnership

    1. Compare Davao with other places you stayed in pi.. women, costs, #expats, women, safety, etc.

    2. nah, not even a waste. i love vietnam and had a great year there. i plan on eventually taking vi there so we can enjoy it together.

76. Nice family vlog to spend time on the beach Reekay. Thanks for sharing the ins and outs of an outing on Samal Island.
    Cannot believe 67 thumbs down as I make my comment, some people!

    1. it’s just a handful of losers who actually bother to create several dozen accounts for this sort of thing. ‘that’ is how empty their life is.

       i figure it’s more views they give my channel. meanwhile, i’m busy enjoying life. 🙂

77. Thanks for the video…super sweet GF Reekay!
    I lived in Davao City twice dating back to when I first came to the Phils in 2008. I’m very familiar with the whole area and like it a lot. Soon they will put a bridge from Davao City to Samal which will be nice because even though It’s a short trip by RORO, by the time you pay your fees, wait for them to load your car and depart, it can take a while:)

78. Treat her well. She’ll treat you like a king.

79. I was just wondering,since I live in Mindanao region, it looks like you are traveling in this area? I came from the us Last april 2019, it might be nice to meet someone else that does youtube videos, and I think we might get along pretty well.

80. Wooooooowwwwwwww! Good morning Philippines!

81. Finding true love, looks good on you!!

82. That place looks amazing

83. THE RIGHT WOMAN WILL MAKE A MANS LIFE MUCH BETTER. PHILLIPINES COULD BE THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH WHERE YOU FIND A REAL WOMAN . A WOMAN TO BE PROUD OF. A GOOD WOMAN. I AM HAPPY FOR YOU REEKAY. I BEEN FOLLOWING YOU SINCE 2015. GREAT WORK

    1. thanks. and i agree… few places left where women take joy in being a woman.

84. I am happy for you Reekay, the young lady is amazing!

85. Great video my friend. Beautiful place.

86. Nice video. Very happy for you. You are a true inspiration of an American man that left his home to seek true love. Im not far behind you dealing with these American Attention Whores, Gold Diggers and Holywood Poisened American Woman. God Bless You in your adventure seeking a true genuine woman.

87. I was about to buy a land there but I didn’t do it. Now I regretted it. But I’ll make sure next time I’ll get a land there. I love Samal island. It’s not crowded yet

88. What an amazing inexpensive day trip…excellent information great video Bruh!!!

89. I am happy to see you happy. In your other videos, that was something that was missing.

90. Your girlfrnd is so adorable Reekay
