Where and why? [emoji848]

Dami kong preconditions. If I didn't have to work and no pandemic? El Nido. Because there are no crowds and daily vitamin sea.![]()
Baguio sana for me. Same as Doc D, tipid sa aircon. Maraming fresh na gulay. All I need is a reliable internet to work from home. With SCTEX and TPLEX mabilis biyahe to NCR on weekend.
Ayaw ko lang sa Baguio eh yung street na papasukin mo para mag Park sa bahay mo, mataas ang slopes. Bihira ang parking na swabe ang pababa. Dapat SUV gamit mo.

kung saan wala baha, landslide, aktibong bulkan, water shortage, NPA/bandido, brownout...
El Nido is nice but far from good healthcare ... Ideal place would be far from main cities and near nature but safe / secure and with nearby access to healthcare (1 or 2 hour drive) ...
Brat, mag-bike ka na lang, probably mountain bike to be specific.Unli ahon at unli downhill din.
For me syempre original choice is to retire in our own island hometown in Mindoro. But I heard maganda din daw developments sa Iloilo in the recent decades. I've been to Cagayan De Oro and liked it there also.
Dati in my first field trip to Baguio in my student days pinangarap ko rin to establish myself there. Medyo mahina lang talaga ako sa sobrang lamig, and I found my dream job right after college here in the NCR. Alternative would probably be the outskirts of MM like the hills of Antipolo.
tsikoteeers naintindihan nyo ba salita relocation????/ Bakit puro beach resort ano kayo mga retireee uugod-ugod. Kaya nyo lumayo sa city ng ganun-ganun lang. Pinagpaplanuhan yan.
Ako sukat na sukat ko na, antipolo si the best place yung padirecho going sun valley estates all the way to buso buso.
- walang tollgate
- ang tahimik everyday holyweek feel
- from my true qc , 45 minutes - 1hour byahe to buso busso takbong puhgeee 40 to 60kph.
- Kung gusto ko magcubao or divisoria eh pwede din magcommute sa masinag meron na LRT2. So hindi ako nakatali sa kotse. meron alternative.
- madami waterfalls katabi. DAti makabeach ako pero nung naexperience ko waterfalls eh tumaas standard ko.
- walang condominium. Chupiiiii bawal
- madali ako bumalik ng true qc.
- probinsya probinsya feel this part of antipolo very low density. (Hindi ko gusto kabilang antipolo sa simbahan kasi nandoon mga gimikan, mall, so gulo-gulo lasengguhan lagn din. )

yung mga binabanggit nyo tagaytay, baguio, beach resort eh pang uugod-ugod yan. Trapjoe kulong bilibid walang flow. Pucha kung nasa tagaytay ka or baguo at gusto mo bumyahe pa NCR eh laspag ka na sa traffic.
ako gusto ko sa Subic. 3 years ago, napag usapan namin ng wife ko na willing kami mag relocate duon, yun lang wala ako gano makita ng IT job na same salary and benefits na nakukuha ko dito sa Manila hehe. saka walang mag babantay sa house namin sa Antipolo kaya hindi na namin tinuloy yung balak namin.
what we liked about Subic is walang traffic hehe. tapos sumusunod mga tao sa traffic laws, parang nasa US ka din. daming "duty-free" (yun pa ba tawag duon ngayon? hehe) groceries that sells imported goods na mas cheaper kesa dito sa Manila. tahimik duon, every morning pwede ka maglakad lakad or jogging near the shore, sa waterfront, kung nasaan yung mga restaurants. kung gusto mo mag beach, pwede sa Camayan or punta ka ng Bataan kasi ilang hours ride lang. saka pag gusto mo din bumalik ng manila, 2-3 hrs ride lang din.
kaya at least once a year nag babakasyon kami sa Subic, just to unwind kahit weekends lang. balak na din namin mag invest na buy ng house duon or near sa Subic, in the near future.
Wala ka ng pake kung saan nila gusto magrelocate or kung ano pagka-define nila doon sa pagrelocate. Hindi naman ikaw ang magulang or guardian nila. Ikaw ba nagbubuhay sa kanila? Ikaw ba nagbabayad ng monthly bills nila? Matatanda at may mga isip mga tao dito para magdesisyon ng kung ano ang mas nakakabuti para sa kanila, kaya huwag ka na kumontra para lang mapansin

I want El Nido also. Preferably in Papaya Beach (have to find it in google maps).....
Its opposite marimegmeg beach.
Aside from the healthcare issue that was mentioned, it has PLDT fiber na in that area.
Id play Online games everyday, swim, kayak, chil, people watch, dive, fish, drive in country roads to other beaches in Palawan.

some place idyllic would be nice until the novelty wears offor until you realize that it takes an hour or more to drive just to get that mayonnaise you need for your recipe
A nice beach house in Nasugbu
Since I can work from home anyway, a beach house would be a nice place to live in. Its also good that its only 2 hours away from good hospitals in Muntinlupa.
Though it might get boring, there is only so much kayaking, jet-skiing, and jogging one can do.

My mentor at work did this. Moved to Punta Fuego during the pandemic and spent the lockdown there. He recently retired at 50, got a fat retirement check, and now lives his days learning to surf and dive and enjoys daily jogs on the beach with his wife and their dog.
Personally, I love being in the city and being less than 30 min away from anywhere (work, hospital, school, mall, etc).
My getaway of choice is Baguio though. Yes crowded during weekends and holidays, but it’s a joy to live there during weekdays. Perfect weather, lots of good food, very artisanal culture.
When I was still field-based, Baguio would be my favorite work destination. Nothing beats working outdoors in a coffee shop, then having a good meal in one of the many hole-in-the-wall restaurants.
