Moving Into The New House 🇵🇭 OUR Philippines Life Just Got Bigger

[@earthsolotraveler4385]

Sasha has a lot of weaving and decoration talent.

[@simplyyhanz]

Papang is such an inspiration. Worked hard to have a beautiful beach houses out of a rocky cliff by the sea. Tilling the land and planting fruit bearing trees his kids and guests are now enjoying. I wanna grow old as hard working as papang.😍

[@JourneyTogetherPH]

He is very inspiring ❤

[@eduardopandeagua9760]

I’m filipino and every time i watch your video my intense desire to go back to my country is getting more intense.

[@lizaa9815]

I’m starting to feel the same way😃

[@jahnea.]

Same here, been away for 33yrs

[@ericvhoi]

If we only have the means, we'd leave the U.S and stay at home for the rest of our lives.

[@Val2073]

I'm getting close to going back. For sure by 2025 I will be in La Union for good.

[@czarinapatriz5266]

@@ericvhoi I've watched my pi dream in u tube u will live comfortably for 2k dollars from ur pension when you retire

[@edenfortier4802]

The sound of the ocean is therapy.

[@jensen0818]

Coconut trees are great but make sure nobody stands/sits directly under that tree cause the fruits can drop anytime that causes injury or fatality. Very important reminder. Have a great day beautiful family.

[@assianilom6110]

Enjoy your life in Siargao Jay, Sacha, Story and Eden. I like the way you decorating your house Sacha and Jay. Perfect couple with a lovely Story and Eden.

[@julietbaillie7265]

That place is really amazing. After doing house chores and work, you can spend the rest of the day along the shore while watching Story. 😊

[@myrnaacosta7600]

Hello guys, enjoy decorating your new house. Papang is working hard for your fence. Have a nice day.

[@FLipSide5254]

I really loved how your vlog is always raw and just pure sound of the natures and no background music because those can get very annoying LOL.

[@ILikeCallOfDuty123]

Hi guys, I almost became your neighbor. I decided to rent in General Luna instead. Hopefully we can meet one day. Love your videos!!

[@ofeliaaquino5093]

The sound of the WAVES is VERY THERAPEUTIC PLUS THE RIPPLING SOUND OF IT IS AMAZING!!!!! FOR 48 YRS ABROAD, I MISS MY PILIPINAS KUNG MAHAL.

[@gayesabularse9736]

Wowww Sasha is very talented♥️ Now I can say Story got your talent🥰 J is very lucky👍👌♥️

[@mariloumamenta5563]

Very nice place indeed! Have fun and I'm glad your loving our country. I've never been to Siargao but I've been to Surigao because of work. Stay safe always.

[@cdul55]

Every time I watch your videos in Siargao makes me happy to see my home Island

[@emiliec1236]

Hello 8 miles Jay,Sacha,Story and Eden.. enjoy watching and i love the new house location. Stunning and very accessible to the beach. Good for you all.

[@ccongmon]

PS: I think you are living in the best part of the ENTIRE universe!!! 👍😘❤ 💕

[@johnrefugio165]

You have a very scenic and stunning views! Beautiful simple life.

[@jordifeliu733]

Nice house decoration, guys! Story is learning spanish: "Feliz Navidad. Bye"! 😊

[@yuhana_v]

Such a beautiful place to live. Well done lovely family. You are truly blessed. Stay safe always. Please give my hugs to Story and Eden. 🙏🇵🇭💕🌿

[@myrnaesguerra7679]

You are adapting very well to Island life in Siargao! Very ingenious way of decorating your new home with local items. Keep your videos coming. Watching from Toronto,Canada.

[@feclark8424]

Hello 8miles family, Beautiful location once again hope you all settled soon xx

[@hspjr1224]

Jay, have you ever thought of solar power and a small windmill combined during power cuts? Initially, it will be costly but long term will be better than a very huge power bank. Just a suggestion you got to look into. Stay safe guys and God bless. 😷🙏

[@AndNowIWrite]

Paint that door in chalkboard paint for Story! New artwork daily!

[@me2cb488]

I love the idea. But do we have chalkboard paint available in the Philippines, let alone in Siargao?

[@jonaliet9899]

Enjoy guys. Sasha is talented,she can create anything to give a house looks cozy and nice😃

[@DanMarkMoralesAguilos]

Here in the philippines its a tradition that when you have people working for you on something in your house, we give them "merienda". Merienda time is rest time for the workers at the same time we give them snacks or breads with cold juice drinks or softdrinks and we eat with them too and talk about whatever. Basically merienda time is rest and chill break time. Hehe. You can google merienda for more meaning or information. Hehehe.

[@masis2001]

In short, “merienda” is just a snack during breaktime or in between meals.

[@inbetweenworlds]

@@masis2001 Meaning, yes. A day part where refreshments are taken. In terms of significance, what Dan shared is a tradition to demonstrate care.

[@czarinapatriz5266]

Maybe papang only works evry morning, at papangs age he is not expected to do d work all day long after all the place is his. At his age he can still do work things like this so inspiring.

[@vanP591]

During summertime, power cuts will be frequent. So better prepare for it. Charge all devices, cool the space and buy emergency lights. You can buy in lazada an emergency lights with fan and usb ports to charge. "firefly" is the brand

[@leonilatumanda6622]

Regarding the power cut, perhaps you can do solar.

[@milyndakelley4991]

Looked forward for your everyday vlogs. The perfect place to live and raise Story.

[@ricochico6948]

Story will have the best childhood memories and im lil bit jealous 😩😭

[@allengrace2339]

I am not sure if this is available online, but I always see this in the hardwares here in Iloilo City Philippines. Its the "promate powerstation".. It's a solar package. You can try to look it up. It could be a big help with regards to the power cuts

[@architectestanoltv4280]

Wow... GOD BLESS... little pretty cute Story, Jmayel&Sasha...

[@flowngrowchannel3762]

What a lovely scenery... so amazing place, relaxing sea breeze

[@marydaigle1445]

You guys just popped up on my phone at 11:15 am on Cape Breton Island, Canada..I love the beautiful macrame...

[@groundzerowe]

15:18 That was arts! Haha getting a bit of education from Story there Jay! 😄

[@padofwtv]

What a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing with us your blog everyday. I missed really my country the Philippines.

[@maruespinosa4218]

Hello World! Story is so good on balancing her bike😍. Good job Story, you have lots of talent😍😍😍

[@gramo63]

Does Story's bike have pedals and a brake? I didn't see any -- but those are safety features every bike should have.

[@czarinapatriz5266]

I think her bike has a break but no pedals, can only be used for downhills so u could learn to balace first that's a good start for Story to learn biking

[@sheilaagt4528]

Second major lockdown here in Manila. I wish I am enjoying what you guys are enjoying in Siargao despite the power cuts, and weak internet. To be able to smell fresh air and hear the waves is such a welcoming thought 😊

[@lindawentink2725]

Story- ' its a bit struggly' .too cute🤗

[@kri_ziiia]

Hello, World :) Have a lovely week ahead! Papang is such a hard worker! 💪🏽

[@megrogeromofficial]

Nice place and your new house too. Papang is so hardworking and enjoy his masterpiece. Always here Power On!

[@mariamalabanan33]

Did she say "Glorious!"? Never heard a 4 year old say that except in the church, kids who are singing. Jay I agree with you, those pizza boxes aren't look pizza boxes. They look great where you put them! If you have an extra one or 2, may I suggest to put Story's art on them like pizza box will be the frame. Sasha you're doing a wonderful job on weaving!❤❤❤

[@VictoriaGZ323]

Hello world! Hello 8milers!😍❤️

In addtion to the powerbank, you can also buy rechargeable lights and fans. They sell them in lazada or shoppee.

[@lynndesagon0264]

You've been so lucky living in Siargao....Here in Cavite we're on ECQ. We can't go out every now and then.

Always fixing his property. Uou can make a big box to plant your vegetables. God bless stay safe.

Hello world ! Godbless all of you 🙂

[@celinevalentin3158]

Let's all help the Vloggers continue what they do, advertisers pay only when people click on the ad or if they watch the video for at least half a minute. This means that even if the video gets millions of views, but no one clicks on the ads, The 8 Miles from Home Vlog won’t make any money.

[@leticiachiok8057]

Watching your video, Jay, with so much awe and inspiration. Thank you for continuing to inspire us, your subscribers, and for becoming the resilient (as many Filipinos who suffered and had gone through tragedies and natural calamities such as strong typhoons) but remain hopeful and positive. You and your family are truly amazing, and for me, you are real role models--the most loving and caring persons the world need today. The Philippines is so fortunate to have you in our country. Do stay blessed, safe and happy despite the struggles you are in now. Hope and pray that you keep your mind open and positive. God bless you and your family.🙏🤗❤️👏🇵🇭

[@cristinaestandarte1051]

I love what with the puzza boxes. Goes well with the macrame. Nice👍

[@VictoriaGZ323]

Story is sooo pretty in her long sleeves dress❤️😍🥰

[@nidaraagas4983]

Wow congrats Jay..and family for the new house...God bless you more..

[@AndNowIWrite]

Look at campervan supplies on Amazon, lots of non electric options. Also you could purchase a portable solar panel and a Jackery. Lots of vanlifers are off grid and it's what they use.

[@fdavie2]

Wow it’s more remote than I thought! I can’t imagine living in a jungle like that next to the beach 🏖

[@jonieservidad4664]

Hello Jay, Sacha and Story.., what a nice beach house. Glad to see ur positive attitude guys. Stay safe and God bless u always.🙏👍❤

[@marlaruce]

Work is the key to Papang's longevity and sharp mind.

[@vanp8650]

Cozy home and lovely family

[@cz6320]

Congratulations on the new house. If it’s any help with your power cut problem..i would suggest you get the solar panel..

[@kenttara8877]

I really love your home adornment activity, Sasha is awesomely talented, Story is so smart and pretty like her mom, Eden girl is so cute, and J is so supportive and caring to his three girls. Love this family, keep safe and more blessings to you guys! I always love watching your videos.

[@alexleyte1935]

Papang still strong he is a good worker.

[@paultrinidad5083]

The first thing that i look for when i entered a house is a mirror. It gives more value to the ambiance of the house.

[@shesao1990]

omg. for a moment there i thought Story will crash to the tree.good driving Story😊

[@lilymay8365]

That watermelon 🍉 juice looks good especially the color 😋. Story's hair looks beautiful! Take care guys! See you tomorrow! 🌸

[@jocellepascual1756]

Eden and Story hello !!!

[@geocas2892]

Congrats! Just a suggestion, you might want to put your latest uploads at the top of your video listings. For example: Making it happen Vlog has the latest video at the very first top of their page.

[@genilyncoretana1715]

I like the bunting banner it is very colorful and it makes your home cozy and homey. Seems like you guys enjoying the Philippines life. It is simple but is it stress free.

[@celsosandiego299]

Wow, enjoy the island life guys....hi story why are u soooo cute baby...keep safe always.

I love watching your videos of your beautiful life in Siargao!! 🥰❤ Thank you so much for sharing!!!👍😘❤

[@Jo-lw7wm]

Hello J, suggestion for electricity backup you could also used solar panel can be bought in lazada or shopee backup for electric fan or tv for DIY.

[@moreontitodong2646]

Maybe you can use solar power also like other foreigners living in the province...

[@badlongon525]

Story: "Feliz Navidad. It means bye-bye." Hahaha. How cute.

[@kiss1017]

Hello guys! Hello world! Magandang gabi!

[@christianoliveros3750]

I can see that story will be an artist one day

[@cristinacejudo1924]

I suggest to put some silk flowers & greens arrangement with it in the center of the pizza containers.

[@junn3858]

If you only need a stand fan, there are solar-powered fan available in the Philippines. It can also charge cellphones.

[@gunnburn1338]

*Jay it'll be best if you could find someone on the island that knows how to make a power wall charged directly that can support all your appliances including the air conditioner or a solar panel with charge controller directed to a small power wall that can support gadgets and an ac fan.*

[@DiggingFrance]

My friend lives off grid with one 100w solar panel! It runs into a 20e charge controller coñnected to a car battery! Runs all his lights, two phones a fan, and a laptop he uses for six hours weekdays! This would be a great back up for you guys. Let me know if you want the amazon links he used.

[@coradalida2375]

I'm feeling down because I love to back to my country Philippines but I have to wait until this pandemic is over..I missed my country and my family over there..Good to see you guys..be safe! 😊🙏

[@alexleyte1935]

You guys so lucky, you choice to stay there, you are out of danger in pandemic.

[@nelidacayas6789]

you have an awesome daughter, no qualms, no complains whereever you go.. feliz año nuevo!

[@dvdhr1]

For higher voltage appliances... You need an inverter to power AC from DC source like solar panels saved in battery

[@myrnawalker2079]

I love your daughter, she is smart and cute. The new house that you move in is more better than the other one you have before, the surrounding are beautiful.please keep safe and God bless.
