Encouraging a love of books and reading: Top parents😊

My children grown up with the books & more books🥰they love reading books & that is best thing bcoz it is a good habit rather than to spent time in gadgets. Story is a smart girl. Stay blessed & safe from ireland.

12:50 I love that vehicle!! No shoulder straps seatbelt on the middle seat….just on the lap. ❤

Wow. Siargao is progressing. That house bookstore is like Booksale shop in a mall.

Story is growing as an adorable girl. Just few more years and becomes a lovely lady❤

I enjoy watching authentic and wholesome videos like yours.

That's why I love you 8MFH family because you treasured every moment even if just the three of you. I should have done it with my parents but now they are both gone and me left alone since I am an only child like story. Hope really to see you in Siargao and hug story ember 🥰🤗

Story is growing up so lovely❤😊👍🏻🥰

The truth i miss your vlogs its not the same without your vlogs 😢 but i dont want you to be pressured. Hope you still continue updating if you have content. Always thankful for sharing your life and family story.

I love watching your channel because of authenticity

I still love seeing the daily life videos. I share them with my sister who will be experiencing the Philippines for the first time in July with my Filipino husband and I.

Your Daughter is so adorable. V she smart. No kids at the playground, maybe there in school? Or they out. I think they're out aren't they til June? Trying to remember. It's good your daughter reads and is not glued to the screen like most kids these days even Filipinos even thought their internet is not that great they find a way. I miss the Philippines. I haven't been to that island

I love watching your videos from day 1 I came across your channel. They are authentic and lovely to watch as it shows what real life is in the Island specifically. Keep doing what u doing, am one of the thousand viewers who love and will continue to love your videos. Ingat

I was reading things like Nancy Drew, Goosebumps, and Bobbsey Twins stuff by the time I was only a little older than Story. As well as classics like Lewis Carroll, Rudyard Kipling, Mark Twain, Hans Christian Andersen, etc. But that was because I grew up pre-internet, and these were the only books available in the local university library. I didn't really truly understood a lot of the subtext of what I was reading (like in Twain, for example), but they still drew me in to other worlds. And by the time I was like 12 and commercial bookstores became more common, I was reading full on sci-fi, fantasy, and horror authors, like Stephen King, Carl Sagan, Greg Bear, C.S. Lewis, etc. Getting Story genuinely interested in books at this age is a very good thing.

Thanks Sir Jay for picturing my uncle simple bookstore

I got emotional watching your family. The part where your daughter and wife were dancing down the street was so memorable. I hope the same peace for my family too one day. You are a lucky family. ❤. I hope you continue to enjoy the philippines 🇵🇭.

Love to read books at a young age is a good habit. Thanks for the care and support for your daughter’s well being.❤

Oh my look how lovely Story has grown! Just watching your vlog makes me feel relaxed.

Story loves to read books so nice for you you'll be a wide reader smart girl.. i'm proud of you Story...

HELLO! 8 MILES FROM HOME HAVE A GOOD DAY

Thank you for supporting local businesses. We appreciate it.

I feel like I’m virtually living island life through you 😎🏝️🇵🇭

Coffee standard in the Philippines is the best. Filipinos are coffee lovers even if it's hot.

I agree, iced coffee is a great option for a hot hot day.🥵😆

Hi J, Sasha & Story. Maybe a content about prepping the food you eat coz I'm planning to go half vegan😂 seriously. I remember during the lockdown, I was interested in Puapua's veggie garden and I was sad when she left for UK. I was sort of looking forward to the growth of her garden. Learning to surf would also make good content. You can try a collab with the Happy Islanders (the family of actress Andi Eigenmann?).

Keep safe always. ❤😊 Thank you for loving our country😊

Watching this made me relax. Thank you.

Very nice spot of Siargao. I love it.

I love Siargao! First and last visit was in 2015!

Good job Story, keep on reading!

Incredible that Story loves reading books, very rare this days🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

It's a beautiful place. So unique. Another tourist spot in Siargao. I used to be a book worm when I was still a student. I missed books.

Ofcourse. Family is Love

Its such a very lovely day watching your vlog.. the ending is so perfect walking in the seashore 21:37 🌴🔆🌻

Buying that crv is surely useful for you guys. You made a correct decision investing at least for transportation. 😊

Siargao truly a paradise..just visited recently and plan to go back again

Story’s really growing up ❤

I have very fond memories of Siargao. Dapa was our port of entry coming fron Surigao Del Norte. we visted a lot of the places on the Island, from Cloud 9, Pacifico, San Isidro. Passed through Pilar on our way to Magpopongko. We exited the Island through Del Carmen and headed back to Surigao City.

It has a sort of industrial vibe. What an island of contrast.I doesn't feel and look like an island. I am getting more curious. Thank you for showing us the evolution of the island as it happens.

Story so cute she like to read book n she also greet kid the parent must be verry proud of here she like in siargao than uk i hope one day she become intelegent kid here in the ph. 😋

Attendance check ✅

WOW! You guys being apart for that long is a shocker! I wonder if you will do merged vlogs from separate locations...

Thanks for showing us that place..it is nice😊

I hope I can still find time to read...very nice Story keep on reading ..

It's going to be sad when Sacha and Story leave for the UK, but I'm sure Siargao will have many changes during the time they are away. You will have many new places to explore when they're back and I'll be looking forward to that! 😊

We had our coffee and breakfast at Whitebeard General luna when we were in Siargao last Oct and we loved it ❤😊

Once the cables for fiber optic internet are there, it's only really a matter of time before it covers the rest of the island. I bet in like a year or two the entire island will have fiber. It's just as fast or faster than Starlink, cheaper, and isn't affected by weather. Though it still has rare down times.

That book shop is a treasure trove. I wouldn't know that was there.

Hello Eight Miles from home! You should try Don Macchiatos! The coffee shop you , mentioned. Their coffees are really cheap yet super delicious! That shop is always full like all of the time when on weekdays! The line is super long there! It just recently opened.

Good morning from uk

❤❤❤❤

👍👍

You guys should build apartments down there,so more foreigners will be moving there,great business in the long term.

looks like the main roads needs to be widened soon if the rapid development continues. The governor need to start consulting urban planners.

8MFH is 😘♥️♥️♥️

Story is intelligent kid. Enroll in Oxford when you are college/ University student in the future

😍😍😍

Love you guys 👍❤❤❤

it's changed so much since I found y'all planting veg with Pawpaw in the pandemic. Thanks for showing us the evolution of Siargao

Santa Fe still looks like those old days though. It’s far away from this Dapa port area. The Island is bigger than people think 🤔

Hello fam

❤😊

I want to see story in person lovely kids

😮❤❤

3:13 you're absolutely correct when you mentioned how that kids playground is probably the best around the Philippines. i hope that it was just a matter of timing why you didn't see any kids playing in it. because that would be a waste of taxpayers money (as i assume that was a project of the LGU there) and the space where it was built.

Hello Story❤

Hey Jay, white beard coffee logo looks a lot like you

You have been staying in the Philippines for quite a long time now. Do you have plans or have tried to learn either the national language or the local dialect? I have not heard you speak any of it yet or did I just missed it in one of your vlogs? I mean, talking or conversing with the locals continuously. ☺

💞💕💕

👍👍👏👏

❤🎉😊

I heard Don Macchiato sells caffeinated shakes for P39 only 😊

Challenge to meet island barbie at catangnan bridge

Hello. Do you mind telling how does the infrastructure there work? Sewage System? Electrical Grid? Potable water?

Have you heard the word "homeschool"?

1:30 1:30 :49

I know girls who can play team sports very well (Storys age), have dance lessons /ballet (and dance well), play musical instruments well and speak a 2nd language reasonably well. Story has quite alot of catching up to do already.......if she wants to compete with same age girls in the UK. Yes, Story is intelligent, but the gap will only get wider from here-on in.

I love the home-ed related stuff, being a former home-edder. It takes me back to those rich, rewarding, diverse and loving times.

Is the Park there better than Davao City’s People’s Park? Just curious to ask.
