Hello, Ate Rose. Yes, you're correct. It's very expensive in the Philippines when it comes to healthcare. So, Ate, you've decided to spend the rest of your life in Japan? I did. I preferred living in Japan over the Philippines.

@ Yes, Grace. I have decided to retire here like you. Masaya sa atin pero may ugali ang Filipino na nakakaasar. My son is so generous that everytime he goes home for vacation he gives money to some relatives. Pag walang ibayad ng kuryente binabayaran niya. Ibinibili ng tsinelas, nagbibigay ng pera sa pamangkin ko sa pinsan ( second cousin). We are close because they are my immediate neighbors and those nephews stayed in my house for free when they had their own families. Noong nakabahay yong isa yong isa naman ang pumalit. The bad thing is the first son even ask for money to buy rice idinadahilan niya na para sa nanay niya. Kaya ako nagagalit. They abuse your kindness. Sorry for the outburst. I should not be telling you because you have your own worries. Disregard this complain of your ate. May topak nga kung minsan. Love you and your family!

Ate Rose, I don't mind hearing or knowing those realities of ugly Filipino culture and don't worry that I'll be bothered by your stories. Don't worry about my "worries" because worrying has been my hobby for so long. LOL. To be honest, I have had experienced the worst things from ungrateful people from our country- from my own blood related families.

@ Thanks.

Dear Ian, Yes! Each day is even more precious as we get old. It's clear to me and I can imagine how you feel right now. There are a lot of small and big things that we, as caregiver, can't express or share to others so I know how difficult and lonely it is. Take care, Ian.

@@livingwithgraceinjapan Dear Grace thank you, please take care of yourself also. Kind regards, Ian.

Our pleasure, Sophie! It's the peak of the Winter in our region. I know France from movies and its beautiful. Let's both be safe. See you on my next video!

Thank you! You too!

Thank you, Peter, for reminding. You're correct. I'm exerting effort to give myself some kind of reward which is for me, hard. Best wishes to you and your family, too.

Thank you, Colleen for especially mentioning the colour. I love yellow as interior colour at home so with orange and light brown as those colours will for sure match will my plants.

Our new year lunch is a simple one and we eat the same lunch all year round except Osechi (Japanese New Year traditional choices of meaningful foods). Thank you for the wishes for me and my husband. Wishing you the same.

Thank you so much!! Looking forward to better videos to upload.

Same to you! Thank you so much!!

Thank you! About this fabric, I'm glad you noticed it. I'm still planning about what kind of cut I'd make from it. I want my neighbor see that I'm wearing a dress from her fabric. It's that the colorful patterns. I haven't tried wearing like it in my life.

Thank you. I visited your channel. Keep going.

Hello, Mary! I was thinking about you during the holidays! I hope you're doing well. Thank you for watching and being here today!

Hello, Ms Fantastica in Canada!! Now I remember and not mixed-up with Australia. LOL. May you have a blissful New Year, too!

@ Thank you. Can you name all your plants?

@@fantastica1652 , Sure! On my next videos.

Hello, thank you so much! My "thank you so much" is over rated but I mean it a lot. Thank you!!

Ate Fran, thank you for letting me know that I serve as a light to yours. I have a lot to thank you of. Please keep yourself strong always, Ate Fran. You'll make it. You and other viewers inspire me so much. I'm being guided and watched by Him. I know He does.

@ amen ❤️

Oh, thank you so much! What a great gift to start the year. This motivates me to make the best video. Thank you so so so much.

@@livingwithgraceinjapan please continue with your videos. you are providing much comfort, motivation, and understanding to us all❤

@@TheRealPynkPanther Thank you so much. I'm honored. Thank you so much. ( I say a lot of thank you so much. I meant it from my heart.)

I'm glad you're here today! Thank you!

We listen to the music a lot at home but unfortunately, I am a very bad dancer.

Thank you, Mai san. I feel that you're a beautiful person. You, too!!

You're one of the reasons why I had a great 2024. Best regards to you for another year 2025. Thank you. Preparing soba in midnight of New Year's Eve is kind of a duty or obligation. Dinners are served around 7 or 8pm so by the time it's midnight, everyone is full and sleepy but moms have to make a New Year soba to serve and wake up those who are sleeping. LOL. I learned Japanese culture and adapted.

@ I’m glad I helped make 2024 a good year for you. Not only do I admire you for the way you take care of your husband but also because you’ve learned the Japanese culture and adapted to be part of it rather than try to change it to fit you. I’m sure that’s not easy to do but you did it well Grace. Take care!

Yes, Ate Rose. I am exerting effort to be consistent on making videos. I love it so I will make it, for sure. With your short story about yourself, I am honestly dreaming to meet you one day in person. Take care, Ate Rose.

@@livingwithgraceinjapan Thank you Grace.Me too. Maybe we can meet someday with the grace of our Lord. You deserve everything. You work so hard. I always tell my children, your mother is poor but the wealth i can give you is teaching you to be a good person. Be kind to others and you will be happy. I don’ t mean i am perfect. May topak din ako at may ugali ding hindi maganda but i’m trying my best to be a good person. Love again, your ate.

Haha... dito, pasimplehan lang. Nothings changed. Natawa ako sayo.

Haha... Interacting is one of the things I love to do. Merong nega rin and napapansin ko ay may one thing in common sila. Don't worry... YTube protects creators like myself. Yeah, Happy 2025. Are you Iha or Iho?

@@livingwithgraceinjapan iha po ako from cebu

@@areeBetu , Yes, I remember you're from Cebu. Thank you for watching always, Iha.

Hello Rakel, I know that your prayers is powerful. Please include me in your prayers. Thank you so much, Rake. Thank you.

Thank you so much! Yes! This channel challenges me to learn everyday, tells me to go on and find solutions to my problems.

Oh, my. Thank you so much. I appreciate this so much for the growth of this channel. Thank you so so much.

Hello, Ms Stine!! Thank you!! You're one of the answers to my reasons why I started a channel. Thank you!

Hello, Christi. Regarding plants, they're healthier than my husband. LOL. Thank you, Darling. You're such a darling.

@ awe, you are so sweet🌸❤️

A table with vegetables is a feast for me than meat. I exert effort to add beef as they said, seniors need to eat meat more. Oh, preparing soup for ramen is a skill even for ramen shops chef, they are trained well. I never tried making soup for ramen myself. It's expensive and time consuming. Thank you for watching.

@ thank you for your work and time.

Thank you so much! I am happier than him when this new walker delivered to us and seeing him walk. Wheelchair is good but traveling using trains is a cumbersome job for station masters. They need to assist us whenever we get on and off trains. Walker like this one is manageable for me.

Yes, we do have. But I limit sharing about our children because they're grown up and having their own families, decent families. We're senior na and not working full time, ( I do have my freelance job too that I should limit giving so much details and informations not related to "retirement, disability" life stories we have. Thank you for watching. Let us be careful.

You're welcome and thank you so much. A happy new year to you.

Same to you! Thank you for dropping by!

Thank you so much for dropping by. Same to you. Thank you so much for watching.
