Thank you so much for watching!
We like living in the provinces because the pace is slow.
Today Boria and mom went for a little walk around the neighborhood. I decided to stay home and tend the plants.
A local carabao, looking at them curiously. They wanted to pet him, but who knows what he has in mind? These animals are often very friendly, but I had a case where the carabao chased me when I was a child.
They walked on and turned down a small street. There is a lot of bamboo growing along the road. Bamboo grows very fast, like a weed, and you have to be careful if you plant it on your property.
They came to an unusual village. Lots of houses with roofs, but no people in sight. It's very quiet and only birdsong can be heard. It turned out to be a cemetery. When there is not enough space in the ground Filipinos build family tombs. Sometimes they grow several stories high.
The road led them to the sea, but there is no beach. There are mangroves growing along the shore. There is only a narrow path where fishermen take their boats out at high tide.
On the way home, they stopped to watch Filipinos make concrete hollow blocks.
A mixture of cement, sand, and gravel is poured into a metal mold and lightly tamped.
In a few seconds, a new block appears.
These blocks are the main building material in the Philippines. They do not need sophisticated or expensive equipment to make them. Even the cement mix is mixed by hand in this mini-factory.
A sawmill works nearby. The guys cut the boards on a large circular saw.
In the Philippines, mainly tropical hardwoods grow: acacia falcata, mahagony, jamelina.
But the most accessible wood here is coconut. Coconut palms have no annual rings, core or branches, so there are no knots. Coconut is used not only for construction, but also for making furniture.
The next day Ben took Boria to his friend Oskar. He has a small fish farm in his backyard and he agreed to show it to him.
Oskar only started this business four months ago.
He has built small pools in the backyard under a shed. The fish that spawn, the fingerlings or baby fish, and the adult fish live separately.
Now only two species of fish are raised here - colored tilapia and catfish. There are about 2,000 of them. Oskar expects to harvest at least 800 kilograms.
All underwater inhabitants need oxygen. In natural bodies of water, algae and other plants saturate the water with oxygen. At a fish farm, the plants are replaced by an air pump. Just like in a home aquarium, only bigger.
They feed the fish special food in the form of pellets.
Mila and Ben treated us to bananas and banana blossom. I am very happy. In the Philippines, banana blossoms are also edible. We will make lumpia out of them.
The banana blossom is also called a banana heart.
First you have to remove the outer tough petals. They are too fibrous.
The rows of yellow inflorescences are also edible, but in each of these florets you need to remove the matchstick-like pistil. This work is long and painstaking.
I cut the banana florets into small pieces, and washed them several times. We will also need garlic, onions and meat. We will use chicken breast.
The onion, garlic and meat need to be fried in a pan. Then put the banana blossom, season with salt and pepper and continue to braise until they are soft.
After that, they need to cool down a bit, and then wrap them in spring roll wrapper.
Now our lumpia needs to be fried, in hot oil.
Boria often told that he is very lucky to have me as his wife. Most Filipinas are great wives. I often surprise them with Filipino dishes, they love Filipino foods. The neighbor's dogs won't let you lie. Now they are always at our door when I am cooking.
In the evening we went to the beach. The sea air improves mood and reduces depression. Negatively charged hydrogen ions help absorb oxygen and balance serotonin levels in the brain.
Boria envies me, I can be in the sun for a long time and not get red as a tomato. He thinks a swarthy skin tone is very beautiful.
In the evening we had an interesting guest, a cute tokay gecko. Here we call it toko because it makes a loud clicking sound "toko, toko." This harmless little critter feeds on cockroaches, termites, mosquitoes and spiders.
Boria and I named him "Kuzya" like the little house pet from the Russian fairy tale. He can run on the walls and ceiling, too.
Mom is afraid of him and kicked him out of her room.
We said good night to our new friend. We hope he catches lots of mosquitoes tonight.

Keep up the good work..show them your talent skills in wood working boris..the beautiful design..
#IslandLife,
Baka may makita ka dyan, LOT FOR SALE. Paki messages mo nman ako.
I'm happy for Boris now, he can practice his profession in Mindanao, carving meticulous woodworks and design. Good for him living in Mindanao, since Mindanao has lots of wood source. Hopefully, I can order some door design and furniture from him. Please do it online per order and ship them to the buyer around Philippines. It is actually, in demand. Let your buyer shoulder the shipments fee. You can have furniture store in your place, just rent a place and start one. Incorporate also some native products and design.
someday he can build his own BUSINESS AND School for WOOD CARVINGS, ALSO... AT LEAST HE CAN EDUCATE MORE INTERESTED FILIPINOS IN WOODWORKS... VERY INTERESTING HUMAN SKILLS, YOU KNOW... LIKE SAINT JOSEPH & JESUS AS WELL.
Someday, Boris will one day be the best wood carver in the country. God bless you.
Wow
I don’t want it to end

Nice to watch videos like this that doesn't flex anything. Just a diary of everyday life of a family of three in the province. The music is relaxing, the content is detailed and informative and the narration is very soothing.
Glad to see Maminka, learning our provincial way of life. If I am closer would come to greet her - добро пожаловать and give her a big, big, hug. She's as adventurous as Boris and Darlene. 🤍🤍🤍

Thank you so much. Have a great day🥰❤️
its so educational ❤this is my kind of vlogging
Please show us one day the finish product of boris , i know hes good in carving . God bless u three .❤
I can't get over how wholesome and wonderful this channel is to follow. You guys are the kind of friends I wish I had. So friendly, kind, honest, modest and just so very clearly simply good people.
I genuinely hope people donate lots of money and you make it rich. So many RUclipsrs make so much money for garbage videos. You are the kinds of people who actually really deserve making money.
It would be really interesting to know how much money you make with youtube and donations.
Not because of jealousy, I know it's not millions and you deserve every peso of it anyway, but just simply out of curiosity how much a wholesome channel like this can make.
Anyway I dread the day I run out of videos of you to watch!
Keep being the great people you are, you make the world a better place :)
Good that they are getting used in Philippine day to day life!🙏🇵🇭🇧🇭
Don`t throw these geggos out! They are not only harmless but very useful catching and eating moskitos and other flies! I really miss these cute creations and their cuccoo sounds!
Also, your narration and content is always so interesting! 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you❤️
Poverty in the countryside is unbelievable but glad Boris and Mama are coping.
Its not only in the countryside, even in big cities. But its better to live in poverty than in a war torn country.
There is no poverty in the country side, they don't have money but they have abundance of food (free food).
And no freedom they control the people
@@myrnahester5470 no freeom? care to explain? theres always a negative dipshit in every video
As far as I can see from this channel.... they are always eating delicious food... hardly a poverty
That eggroll looks so delicious Darlene! I really enjoy the segments that show you cooking. You are very patient in preparing the ingredienst. It looks like a lot of work but everything you make looks yummy! ❤ I really enjoyed the part showing Mama Katya's reaction to the Toko and getting annoyed that you and Boria are are too slow to remove it from the house! 😂 Thank you, there's always so much fun in your vlogs! ❤
Wow Darlene,it's a great opportunity for Boris to show his talent in carpentry,nice choice to live in Mindanao Samal.
More vlogs Darlene I never skip ads.. God Bless ❤️❤️❤️
I am exited na magkaroon ng trabaho na si boris on woodworking in the coming days. I pray. Sana lord bigyan mo sila.
Maraming salamat po❤️
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Sana po hindi matagal ang kasunod na episode kung pwede ay daily ang upload. Nkakabitin kasi.
You are loved by us filipinos,staysafe always thanks for your nice video z😍
I'm so happy to see your vlog again. Tell mama it's called buteke (gecko lizard) and they are harmless. They eat mosquitoes 🦟🦟🦟🦟.
Gecko's bite. If cornered, they can bite your toes. Juct be careful not to step on them. Great Boris found a job. Blessings!👌🙏
Is Katya feeling homesick yet. I just love seeing her. I think she might be the same age as I. Can she also stay in the Philippines for a year like Boris?
I'm wondering also. I hope they will share their response with us
Another happy day while watching Island Life vlog,my stress reliever,
I can't wait to watch ur next episode..
Boris is so lucky to have you Darlene and also Darlene is lucky to have Boris..mama Kat is so sweet she's always smiling..
God bless your family and stay stronger.♥️♥️♥️
Lots of love, I can't wait to watch your next video.
OMG, I can’t wait to watch the next episode!!! Boris’ first job! The previews looks exciting! From what I see the woodwork is going to come out great!!! I’ve got a feeling that you are all going to be very successful. Mama makes me laugh 😂. She doesn’t want to live with the lizard. And Darlene, the lumpia looks delicious 😋. I wonder if there’s a place here in the State of Washington 🇺🇸 where I can find a banana blossom. I wonder what they taste like.
You will find it in asian grocery stores like 99 Ranch or Seafood Supermarket
@@binibinibini1833 Thank you! I will see if I can find it there. 😁
GOD BLESS BOTH OF YOU... TAKE CARE... WE LOVED YOUR STYLE OF BLOGGING... OKAY LANG GUYS... AKO LANG TO... WATCHING WITH FRIENDS.

Glad to see ur early vlog ds week!!! Nice very informative… specially lumpia made of banana heart… my first time to see it!! & the fish fond!!❤❤
Stunningly exotic Filipina. Brown skinned, luscious thick raven hair.
I wish pinoy glossy magazines prints more of this beauties instead of mistizas and paled skinned women. Well that's business, how can they sell, whitening products and hair dyes 🤷♀️ I just wish she doesn't change her looks 😊🤗
Woww I like your video as always..can't wait for the next episode..😊😊❤❤
It's my first time to see your vlog, I like it very informative and you explain everything.
My very best to the Kuznevsov family for their new adventure in Samal. May God always keep you safe, healthy and may you have a peaceful and successful life in the island. Best of luck to Boris for having a new job!
Night Gale from Northern California, U.S.A. 🙏 😊
You have to visit the Philippines eagle sanctuary,,Boris can engrave eagle and durian as tourist souvenirs
Wow! They are doing great! ❤
My mom love your story and watched all your videos even before when the Boris had conflict in the community back in Russia. She wants you to dive in the daily vlogging for it relieves her stress. God Bless!
@2:58 just like a Cinva block press! So cool and easy to make.
Love that mama is eating your cooked food. So sweet gesture to take care of her.
Wow! Can't wait for the next episode. Boris is so talented with his wood works. 👍🏼
Wow amazing yeah it's true to nice leaving in province quite and fresh air
Nice SIMPLE life. How nice to leave in SAMAL ISLAND..👍👍👍🙏🙏💕
Your husband and your mother in law’s lives must be so different now.
I hope they are slowly easing into life in the Philippines.
Luv the mom of boris that much.. Hope ull enjoy ur stay here in the Philippines particularly samal island.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Banana heart also good with coconut milk or gata with monggo and dried little fish. it’s really good. ❤ We love toko it’s like a lucky charm, we have this belief if you have toko in your house you’ll have abundance of good health and money.
For us, to remove the bitter taste of the banana heart, we put salt and mix it with the flourettes and then wash the flourettes several times .. very savory dish .. we cooked it with "Saluyot" with broiled or fried milkfish or bangus
Mabait ang asawa mo at beyanan mo
Great choice brother. Sweetest women in the whole world!!! Super happy for you both.
Wow, looking forward to the next episode.
Good day happy to see your smiles in youtube...viewing all the way from Cebu, Philippines🎉❤🎉❤
Good morning. Thank you so much po ❤️
Bamboo it's a big help it comes to build house...etc etc....
Sinpleng pamumuhay at tahimik. Sarap talaga sa probensya.❤❤❤
Happy for you that you are all in good health,good conditions .always keep safe.God Bless.
Please make more educational videos like this it’s great
Enjoying your videos from Cornwall, UK. Great humble content, as always. Keep up the good work 👏
Russian is such a beautiful, romantic language. I love this channel. Newly subbed! It’s like ASMR.
As a way of support,I am not skipping the ads, please do daily vlogs,your vlogs are really enjoyable,simple yet informative..more subscribers to come,,

How relaxing the video is
Lovely to see you both 3
Are slowly settling down
And getting into the local life
And culture.
Then Boris are doing his first job in Phillip pines.
Best regards Niller
more long videos pls..
Very slow pace of provincial life. A lot of Filipino families are conglomerating in the cities because it has so much fun they like. Even though they live in a very impoverished area like squatters. I hope Boris and her mother will continue to accept a quiet life of the province with good fresh air and abundant tropical fruits and vegetables.
I really enjoy, watching yyour vedio, its so inspiring and add learnings in our life how to discover survive, Borias and His mom also is so good, contented, ready to imbrace the culture even the food, theyre so friendly, God bless you always
Thank you so much ❤️
Keep up the good work..show them your talent skills in wood working..
Ate,i am very interested about your family vlog,very interested of your vlog,hope to see your series everyday,very curious how your mother inlaw would adapt our culture,love them,wrlcome them with interest and love
They adjusted to the culture, very simple , not stressful.Still bring them to the mall for lunch
sometimes for fun.Catsup is good with lumpia.Cook food familiar to them once in awhile.
I will buy one of his sculpture work, maybe a bird , his very talented, mommy is very nice💖💖💖
Darlene on the video 1:13 where Boris looking at the bamboos. There’s a monstera plant next to it. This is a wild philodendron if I’m not mistaken. I just want to let you know this is rare and expensive kind of monstera here in North America. Go back and find it. Hopefully that’s the one. It’s called monstera Croatii. It cost a lot here. I hope that’s the one. I saw it one time then I rewatched your video one more time and zoomed it😊
what a life! cant wait to go back to the philippines in august!
You seem to be enjoying your life in Samal. Oh you have gecko (tuko) in your house. Like Boris’ mum, I’m very scared of that too. Don’t like it at all in the house. When I go home Phil. I always make sure that the house I’m visiting in has no butiki and tuko. Good luck to you all and keep posting..
Excited to see that woodcraft's result.😮
