How I Started a New Life in the Philippines 12 Years Ago| Vlog

[@TriniYaadie]

Started watching you on Ants Canada (I don't even remember how many years ago, but I know it's been several years), and honestly I was drawn to your voice, I started investigating who you were and came across your daily vlogs and I've never stopped watching sense. At first I went back into your playlist and watched all your previous vlogs until I was up to date. You are by far my favorite KZbinr! you (and RJ) offer in your vlogs a little bit of everything that I like to watch on KZbin and I truly do appreciate that. You and RJ both are incredible and genuine people, keep being yourselves and you will continue to prosper in life!

[@laine80]

I did the same and totally agree!!

[@blakmasta]

Lol, I just found out that he has this channel. I was watching him sing on his "ant" channel, and someone spilled the beans that he also has this channel.😂

[@jackson-wadden]

I woke up at 10am due to a sickness, and what a wonderful surprise to find that my favourite youtuber uploaded!

[@debmiller5187]

Praying you are feeling better.

[@jackson-wadden]

@@debmiller5187 I appreciate that!

[@gambitgambino1560]

Bati na sila ni mo?

[@theresanessralla1126]

The roof deck is perfect for your wedding to RJ!!!! I can see all the tables and dance floor in my head! Yes!!!!🎊

[@thomaseagles1026]

I’ve been watching u guys for 6 years and u shouldn’t have to explain what u have, I know u worked for everything u guys have so good luck and just stay down to earth, because I think thats what draws people to u guys, good luck in the future also.🇨🇦🦅

[@bernadettereyes-deasis4365]

Can I just say this, you and RJ are my happy pill. I look for your vlogs whenever I feel anxious❤ please never get tired of sharing your adventures with us!

[@sherribaker9135]

I feel the same way. You are not alone.

[@alainjoyal315]

Yes, I agree. Same for me as well. From both, Ants Canada and this Vlog.

[@Daanii.Official]

Wow, na-miss ko yung condo and reunited with DJ Tina Ryan dahhhling! ♡

[@rosereels]

Props to you! Not sure if you're aware, your Ants Canada channel was cited by CTV News (Canadian network) on rise of ant keeping as a hobby. ""Popular KZbin channels like AntsCanada that features countless high production videos of ant colonies and ant-keeping, have also contributed to the rise in popularity in the country. James Wingert,13, was inspired by AntsCanada to start ant-keeping. ..."

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

Awesome!!!

[@flormacaraig7332]

Hi Mikey and RJ, I'm glad to see both of you, It's nice to see that RJ is okay now.I'm happy that you visit your condo and reminisce about stories of your life,love and work.I'm glad that you visited your previous work at Magic 89.9/radio and a short bonding to ms.Tina Ryan and some friends it is cool.This vlog brighten my night.Godbless all of you guys 🙏🌷🌻

[@gaymultiverse]

i love tina and coach na grabe kayo so heartwarming

[@lourdessadiua3522]

You worked hard for all your success Miley, everything was worth it!❤

[@riannrob]

i'll never get tired watching your vlogs.

[@effinator]

G O A L S ! ! ! Salamat po

[@Solskin60Tina]

Thank you for the story time 🥰 I have heard some of it before, but every time something new is added 🤩

[@gaymultiverse]

Mikey and RJ are such inspirations and good role models for the youth. KZbin should recommend his personal channel's vlogs more to young gay boys in the Philippines and gay Filipinos all over the world

[@masayadito]

you are an inspiration mikey ❤

[@willowwinkle]

awesome to see the old condo! ❣❣ and so meaningful to hear your message about the magic of the universe when you have to start small or start on trust!! Also really cool that all the old radio people were still at that station!!! My partner worked as a DJ and back in those days, there was a lot of turn over.

[@elc4532]

As a millennial your vlogs inspire me so much and makes me feel like I should do something productive everyday

[@blakmasta]

I like how green the city is; so many trees and so much life. I love that. Makes me want to visit the Philippines.

[@ErwinAlmodiel26]

I was honestly an original AC Fam, started following AntsCanada almost a year ago when the vivarium just started. Had completely no idea AntsCanada is Mikey Bustos, so I was completely surprised when I knew AntsCanada is in the Philippines on one of the AC channel episodes! Then, I started to follow this channel, watching almost all episodes from a year ago, and now I can say I'm a Mabuhay Squad! 🥰

[@nanettemiller4853]

That’s nice to keep the tradition! Even boxing the ornaments after the Three Kings’ celebration, the Epiphany! U make Mommy proud!🙏🙌👍

[@Jasonak907]

Second comment on the repost! 😁😅

[@milaesmeraldatoboso5471]

i always admired daddy's eveready "joke of the day" and its really very original joke of his own.....yeah no joke ..its funny awesome! 💕🐶🐩💕...added note..why i always keep watching mikey's vlog is simply because he really conversed english fluently and delivers his message very well said to his mabuhay squad..love it!!

[@roxb808]

The rooftop would make a great venue for an evening wedding reception. 🫠💕 🎶 Weee're waaaaitinggg.. 🎶

[@MJEncinas]

Wow! I can still remember, Mikey! I was always so excited to tune in and watch you live on stream, hehe! That's where I first got to know your #SukapellaSongs, Mikey. 😁😁😁 I made sure to be tuned in before your show even started. Hahaha! Those were the good old days! ❤🎉🎉🎉 You really love to eat and you're always so enthusiastic about it. 😊❤

[@laine80]

I loved your walks with Ligaya ♥️ The old condo! So many memories. The ant room was so small! And I just remembered the chicken you had there lol.

[@CWconfringo]

Glad to know this story of yours, Mikey. Looking back from where you've started here in the Philippines and seeing what you've achieved so far. So happy for ypur success. So excited to see ypurmom again on your vlogs. ❤

[@LightBringer2810]

I remember your radio show. I was always listening to it while getting ready for class. You, Sam and Mo were great together, and the topics on the show were always entertaining and informative. I always found it cute when you mentioned Sanggol the pig.

[@MikeyBustosVLOGS]

Haha Good times!

[@imeeraval]

Its worth sharing what you begun Mikey. Thank you! Lahat ng bagay ay makakamit for doing the right at persevered. Im so proud on your successful life with RJ. Im sure all who follows watching you are happy , you're so wonderful person. ( youre such an inspiration) sana all! God bless everyone🙏

Started watching your parodies and ants Canada when I was in 5th grade, now I'm 10th grade and still watching your videos in every channel lol! I've stopped watching alot of childhood channels that I loved but antsCanada will forever stay in my subscriptions ✨ luv ya Mikey!

[@bikeguyh2]

During covid I begged my parents for a taruntula and a snake daily and they blame you lol. All my begging never worked- 4 years have passed and I don't have any arachnids or snakes yet..only a single turt that looks like turd

[@Kpnitreal]

Love your life stories. So inspirational.

[@_mygoddess_]

[@lilikoi4725]

Oh my what a blast from the past! I remember watching all those condo videos with Ligaya and Ate Elsie before you two came out publicly! Awesome to see it again haha, lots of love from your other home back in Toronto 🤗

[@hklalbiakhlua]

I'm absolutely captivated by solar panels. I could watch their installation and listen to their specifications for hours

[@cerie-cp7ju]

love Daddy’s joke of the day all the time. a chance to see Mikey’s Dad.😊

[@HomeChefRichie]

OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS!!! WHAT AN AWESOME VLOG!! Tons to unpack with this vlog!!! I'm a couple days late watching this but, as usual, I'm seeing it when I "need" to see it. There's new info here that you've not shared before... the 15th floor, I love knowing that! WOW it was so awesome to go "home" to the condo. It is crazy to feel so much nostalgia as ya'll are in the old condo... it felt like coming home :). Poor Sahara!!! At least she'll have her Lola there to help take care of her. The roof is looking so good these days, I can't wait to see what RJ does up there... it'll be an epic party, for sure! I'd love to see ya'll add some kind of outdoor kitchen there too... I'd put in a wok burner and a grill along with an outdoor bar... OMG, let the festivities begin :). It was great to see Tina and Dog Coach Francis again, they look great! Mikey, I want to say thank you (to RJ too) for your generosity in sharing all your history. There's so many great lessons there and ya'll are such a great example of hard work, faith and love manifesting good things. Ya'll stay safe!! I'll see ya next time!

[@celeste5202]

I love that you're grateful 🙏 more blessings to us all!

[@sandywalter9728]

Your old condo reminded me of Hope... the chicken! ❤❤❤

[@cathyporcia4147]

I always look forward for "daddy's joke of the day" too

[@callietorre728]

You inspire me, Mikey, to keep working hard and never give up pursuing my dreams. 😊

[@JUSTIFY33]

Love you Mikey and RJ. You Mikey, gave so much inspiration to make life happy and continue living with your positive vibes in life. I'm a retired nurse now and don't know if I will live in the Philippines or abroad. So many things to consider. The weather, medical care and health issues. Thank you so much for sharing your happy vlogs. You make us happy. More power to you and RJ.❤❤❤

[@annaq8638]

I love the view from your condominium!

[@thelmavillaruz2009]

The rooftop will be a good place to have a party I remember our house we had terrace upstairs in Roxas queen city

[@Basque-Aragon]

How are you handling the extra weight on the roof? Did you have to strengthen it before all the solar panels? Curious, I live in FL and thinking of solar panels for my roof..

[@lawrencecalleja7659]

Mikey, you should do a time lapse star gazing from your rooftop. It would interesting to see.

[@justanna_bmystory]

❤❤❤

[@brendaibanez4760]

It’s like you went back in time, Mikey, RJ and the videos featuring Ligaya. By the way, where did the Whiteboard Wednesday go? :)

[@TheEquusLudius]

Your dad is funny 😂😂👍

[@elainetyger]

My cat Harry died from tumors in his trachea. I hope that Sahara's surgery goes well and she recovers fully.

[@philiplabarento6459]

Hi Mikey, I have two java finches male, 1 male sings really really good, I'm from manaoag pangasinan, if maybe someday can visit pangasinan, you can adopt these two birds.

[@celeste5202]

I suggest for you to get the Highschool Playlist as the band for your party 🎉

[@Juan_Agosto]

Finally. No sfx right? Anyway like my first comment in the original upload, RJs head shake for the big mirror made me laugh 😂😂😂

[@TinovanderZwan-t5f]

Stardom doesn't last but being memorable does. I did a freelance-style job for the Egmond European Disney comics in the late 1990s to mid-2000s i drew the Disney Ducks mostly 3-panel gags and cover art if I had to go from the Netherlands to Finland I would be treated like Michael Jackson had just arrived! The Disney Ducks are super popular in Finland I would have radio and TV interviews galore, and luxury hotel rooms would be fully paid all in! Crazy for the little work I did! All I had to do was talk ducks and draw ducks and I would get a generous paycheck, eh, talk about getting Imposter-Syndrome!! When I got rheumatism all work stopped but to this day Finland still remembers me as one of the Dutch Disney artists now, that doesn't pay any bills but it makes me feel really good! If I ever get invited to your farm when I'm coming that way I'll draw you an Uncle Scrooge vs. Ants drawing.

[@finaaldaba5341]

Ohhh, Lola might be sad. She can't feed Sahara all the time 😂 Good luck, Sahary, on your upcoming surgery.

[@ACarlo7]

At 32:45 "Manila" is so quiet.

[@rubenavila9967]

When will you show your other farm house again

[@hugsuniverse]

i’m so sorry to hear that my suspicions about Sahara’s collapsed trachea are confirmed. 😢 But I had a Jack Russell terrier that had it also, I didn’t have the surgery on her- she lived for 14 years. I’m glad Sahara has you and RJ as “Paw-rents”! 😊 One of the hardest things is to keep people from over feeding the little ones. They’re great at looking pitiful 😂 Your mom will be carrying her around and spoiling her with massages and kisses. And cute outfits!

hey mikey n rj! i hope both of you are well! i was thinking...why don't you host a "Radio Day" at your home and have them spend the day at your house and with the station 89.9 and any money raised can go to chairity(s) of your choice! almost like the old telethons and stream it!! i would watch and donate...just a thought...hope you have a great night!! hugs from barrie, ontario canada
