First View of Casay

First thing to worry is money. How can we earn a living there? Business? What are we good at? For 8 years, my husband and I worked as Engineers for the same company. Honestly, I don't imagine there would be any jobs waiting for us when we go back. Plus, one of the reasons we're moving away from engineering is the stress!  The answer to these questions actually walked right in front of us, literally. While he was looking for a beach front property in Dalaguete, someone approached him to convince him to buy this land in Casay. She mentioned that the property has full grown mangoes and coconut trees. Farming. We got real excited about this, this is something we can see ourselves in. With everybody wanting to help the current state of the environment, I think this is also one noble thing to do. Farming, the natural way. Yep, we were sold with the idea.

With the tax return we got this year, we bought our first land in Casay. It's  a 2000 sqm lot located along Cebu's national highway and about a quarter of a mile from Argao Beach Club.

Big Decision

Obong Spring out to sea
Obong Spring out to sea

My husband and I just had a one month vacation in the Philippines. We were working pretty hard in 2008 and we figured we needed to unwind from the stress of working in an extremely results-oriented company. We visited friends and family in Manila then went to visit his side in Dalaguete, Cebu.
