- As foreign immigrants in the Philippines, we see things differently than Filipinos do. It's fun to realize what you notice about each country as you spend longer and longer periods of time away from the place you were born.
In today's vlog we show life on the beautiful island of Siargao and simultaneously we show our home towns in Great Britain. The contrast between the two lifestyles and how we feel about that.

The U.K. is where I was brought up. As I am English Scottish and NZ-Kiwi. My dad is English my mum is a Kiwi. So as an adult I have lived in the UK New Zealand Australia Spain and Phuket. Now I live in the Philippines. Are are some good things about the U.K. but in my opinion I will never ever move back to the U.K. to live. Out of all the countries I have e lived in Thailand and the U.K. are the 2 countries I would never want to live in e er again. The 2 countries I would like to live in again are Australia and Philippines luckily at the moment I live in one of them the Philippines. None of these countries are by any means perfect.
I can understand where J is coming from i.e. immigration. I was born and raised in Manila. but now lived in England longer than I have lived in the Phils. I also had the opportunity to acquire a higher education in the UK in addition to my degree from the Phils. There are definitely differences between the two cultures. However, I have learned to embrace the English culture without losing my Filipino culture.
I find they complement each other and have something to learn from one another.
For me, it's down to the basics of human traits, kindness, understanding, caring, respect, consideration, accepting what is and not comparing the two, just awareness of the differences and transcending the conflict that may arise from those differences. I don't consider myself British or Filipino. I am ME. it's my spiritual journey and I am continuing to learn.
I don't understand,if somebody will ask you if you are a Filipino or British so your answer is I am me, and that I am me is also your nationality
It help to be a professional too, to land a good job. Especially in foreign country. In demand are engeneers, health diplomA like nurse, doctors.
@@sarahhonorio9419 You are taking it literally Sarah. There is deeper meaning to what I said. Bless you.
jay, they give it back to u.. becuz they always consider that its urs.. :)
Makes sure before any repairs, let them know you don't want any of the old parts back and they will dispose of it. Also, here in Manila specially when I go take my vehicle for repairs or change oil they do a complete job! I have not seen them leave anything for me to put back. Guess your dealing with a barrio mechanic in the place like that so you get that sort of service. It varies where you go. Here in Manila, I don't even feel I've left the US really except when I realize I have a Jolibee in every corner. LOL
You could bring it back to the garage and let them dispose of it. It just proves to you that parts are really been replaced. They will gladly take it for disposal.
The mechanic you work together is a newbie
You cannot compare mechanics there in siargao back to ur place, siargao is i believe a 3rd class municipality, and skilled workers are very hard to fine!
I admire Jay that he could still live normal while being alone in a remote island in the Philippines while his family is in UK. Thanks that Poppy is there with him.
Siargao is not a remote island
I live on Siargao. It is no longer a remote island. It is slowly becoming a very touristy place for local Philippines holidaymakers and foreign backpackers to come to. Lots of the local Filipino surfers born and brought up on the island now have blond foreign girlfriends. The island is now getting more and more crowded as the days go
by.
One thing every foreigner should know when going into another country is to never bring the whole idea of comparing a Western culture and be shocked about it. You immerse and adapt to the culture with no expectations. Philippine mechanics differ from places, but generally some Filipinos would want to keep the old parts specially the ones that can still be re-used.
I hear the change in Story's accent picked up from her cousins. My daughter's accent and manerisms used to vary a lot according to who she was hanging out with most recently. Very interesting how they do that.
you have not mentioned your land lately unless I missed something ,,,and is the module home still an option
Don’t you just love British weather 4 seasons in one day ❤
Would you be able to ask the garage to dispose of the old car parts? Or would that be considered rude? Every time I see you driving through the Island it just looks like pure paradise 🌴🥥 Thanks for the video ❤❤ I can't wait to visit Philippines 😊
I have asked a few times, but they just laugh and say 'no sir, it's ok sir' 😂
@@8milesfromhomeOh no 😂😂
Story has grown up so fast I remember her as a baby ,she's a beautiful well respectful little girl❤❤❤❤❤God bless your family.shes enjoying her vacation but I'm sure she misses Daddy and her loving doggie now❤❤❤
Such beautiful insights from Jay about being on his own and how he perceives his birthplace.
the parts returning to you thing is? that there not reaping you up.. they put the new parts,taking the old and broken parts...the not finishing part? is just being lazy...
Please stay healthy… I’m not buying into the 24 hour fast fad. You need to fuel your body and soul on a daily basis.
Kapag nakatotok sa buwan ang camera ni jay at sabay tunog ng mga insects at yong feeling mo na parang may lalabas na aswang. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ako ang natatakot na nonood lang.🤣🤣🤣🤣
🫢🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣ano bayan 😂😂😂
Just because that’s how it’s done by a business in Siargao or any other town doesn’t mean it’s how it’s done everywhere in the country. You need to experience it many times more in many places in the Philippines before you can say “here in the Philippines…” about something.
@@Maryhilton-ws6ol That would mean that if his only experience is topnotch service in an expensive shop in an ultra-modern area of a big Philippine city (and there’s many of those) it would be correct for him to typify that quality of service with “here in the Philippines…”. Wouldn’t that be very misleading?
That's how it's done in moat places I've been to in the philippines
@@alaylaanajacks5647 Then I guess you- as in you, specifically-can generalize.
You guys will not survive living in England just with social media as means of earnings. That’s the reason why your family is living in Philippines. Just wondering though if you still receiving child benefits considering your living abroad.
Hi Jmayel..😎😉
I had a 90s Toyota Corolla as your "Blue Colored"..in my College Days in Cebu..😎😉🤙👍
You guys are doing a fantastic job of blending the 2 videos. Your wonderful people. proud to be a member.
Hi Jay. Can you change my name to Tonirose. ..privacy reasons. Hope to meet you all next year. Thanks, and God bless.❤
Sure thing! On the next video. Thank you so much
If you can get solar in the philippines why doesn't everyone have it there? I need to ask my Filipina friends. Here in America Ira difficult because the government regulates. A lot of times its not cheaper or they stop giving you credits or it's not allowed. I know in Oklahoma they don't allow it. It's so stupid. Why? Because they loose money. So greedy they are. I never thought about solar in the philippines. Good idea
Hi can u please reply to D&J Travels, they said they hit u up already with no response yet, theyre moving to the Philippines in June and theyve finished interviewing Island Barbie and the interview was so good. Pls , pls jay thank u.
I'd love to take my daughter to that playground one day! Was it in Devon? All natural, wooden... Nice contrast to the super bright plastic play areas here
They do that in the U.S. They will give you the old parts. So that you will know they did change the broken parts. Some mechanics are not honest.😊
it's one way of letting you know that all the parts they charged you was replaced , in the US there's no way of knowing if you are not mechanically inclined. sometimes they charge you for rotating the tires but if you marked it you'll find out they did not do it. :)
Vloggs dont get much views on GB audience, while filipinos are obsessed.
Sorry if u experienced that. Philippines is a third world country that's why
Maybe, you should tell them to fix back the mudguard. Maybe he forgot? But in PH, what they remove, they also put back.
They give your car parts back in Africa as well.
This mechanic in the remote areas are not well trained not like those in the city….
If there's one thing I wish we had more of in the Philippines, it's PARKS. UK parks are beautiful. We only inherited the Spanish tradition of plazas, and plazas don't really work that well anymore now that towns and cities are becoming so much bigger.
My 1995 Pontiac GTO has a broken strut for our trunk too. I found out when I was putting groceries in and it fell on my Head. I almost bit through my tongue 😛.
Ouch!
iwas following you pre story she;sgetting so big
Story enjoys the best of both worlds ❤ Enjoy girl ❤ Take care ❤
All countrys pan out to have there downsides werever in the world ...
Hello story have fun with your cousins.Hi!sasha injoy seeng your family.Jay have time being alone.God bless.❤
You can send it back, to your mechanic,
Oh my 😮doesn’t your daughter cover her mouth when she sneezes? Yikes
Bath and Cotswold both beautiful. They are my favourite places for a long weekend get away. I am here in England for over 35 years now and very lucky living in the countryside of South Oxfordshire...❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Some people wants to keep the old parts. But the mudguard should be put back
It's a fender liner.
ive noticedin thailand they do 9 things very good===== and the 10th totally bonkers
Been to Bath and its beautiful in there especially where the Roman bath and relics are...a lot of history learned.
ah yes living alone whole new deal
The reason they do that is some owners wants to know the work is done and they really replace the broken parts. I remember when i have my car done here in Las Vegas and i was asking tge mechanic to save the broken parts for me and he look at me like why😂
1:19 Jay I noticed that your headlight is oxidized. One project you can do is to clear the oxidation. It is so easy to do, I did it and the headlights of my CRV-EX 2002 look new. I changed the bulb also, I am no mechanic but it is a project to do brother.
Take care jay. We know u missed them both. ❤
You can actually give it back to them for disposal, they don't mind disposing it for you.
But the other issue, that's problematic for us having used to "complete" service culture in the West.
Story is brave girl , I adore her💞😘
Debunked! Ha ha ha!
Hello jay 2 times already
Where on our way in your place but still we can 't able to conclude our journey because of a distance and expensived Maybe next time and we can able to meet your family.
Story is so happy in the UK.I think she prefers to live there
@@Maryhilton-ws6olas parent thats what I observe too. Gen z are not so much into professional world, but choose easy, lazy lifestyle. I wonder what future generations we have. All vloggers perhaps.
they gave u back old parts to show that they really replace it..its up to u if you will take it or leave it there...in this case you take those replacement parts and make a complaint out of it...
Excuse me, Sir! With due respect, Jay is not complaining. He is not used to the Filipino way such as this. I would say that it is an eye-opener for him and we can learn from this video. Thank you, Jay.
@@erlindachavez1490 eye opener for what??
Shout out guys, In here in London, everything changing the bills too high food so expensive now!Even though we work so hard our salary is not enough.
Lonely daddy😅 , ahh with puppy pala
They'll be back soon enough :-)
Saw a video once where they transformed plastic soda bottles into fabric or yarn and made into a beanie. Not sure if that's possible.
They are doing that in Siargao.
Yes they need a different machine for that. But it’s possible
Watching from Germany.
❤😊
I love her accent so sweet she is❤
There’s no place like home 🏡 ❤❤❤Story growing up surrounded by family members is the greatest gift 🎁 you can give her❤
@ 4:33 I'm just curious why do you buy coconut milk in pack when you can have it fresh from the coconut tree? Siargao does have a lot of cococnut tree, right? Just buy "Kudkuran" or borrow from Papang! 😋😃
Car repair services on Siargao Island cater to the diverse needs of vehicle owners and tourists. The island's repair shops provide essential maintenance and fixes for various types of vehicles, ensuring they remain roadworthy and safe for travel. While the services may not be as advanced as those found in major cities, the skilled mechanics on Siargao are known for their resourcefulness and ability to tackle most repair tasks. Visitors and residents can trust the local repair shops for their automotive needs, contributing to the island's vibrant and self-sufficient community.
They'll give you the entire car back if it's junked. LoL .. The garage will take the old parts and sell them as scrap metal if you give them to them.
Some people want the broken parts back to understand they fixed the right one. Maybe to avoid a problem with the customer, they give you back the replaced parts. If you don't like to take it with you. Tell them to dispose it for you.
Yes they do give back everything because you can sell it to junkshops unless you tell them that they can keep it.
In Manila & Cebu they finish everything. Maybe because you live in a small island and everything is shipped to the island.
Love all your videos , I have been watching for 2 years ❤️❤️🎈🎈
Will Jay ever want to cut his hair short, it doesn’t cost much to get a hair cut at a local barber shop. It’s very hard to manage a long hair. You will feel very light if you do so.
hey jay, maybe u can do vlog on cost of living alone in siargao 🏝️ .....
🤔
you should take that back and ask them to put it back , i am plilipino and i had took my car to a mechanic and its their responsibility to put it back , you should learn to complain if things not working right
Jay, can you please do an update about your solar power system, topucs like reliability, noise, etc.
👨👩👧🐕♥️🇵🇭🇸🇬
If the parts are made of metal or iron, give it to the metal workers. They'll make them into kitchen knives, garden tools or machetes.
Some broken car spare parts actually you can sell it to the junk shop.
Unless you completely give them a clear instruction to get the job done they will either not do minor and accessory work their mindset is that main job is done you’re good to go
Hehehe that's pilipino they will leave you the old parts hehe take care man I love watching your videos ❤❤❤
It’s high time for Siargao government to spend in Solar energy.
Is that Lisa Kudrow from Friends?
I don't think it's the norm of the mechanics in a place like island Siargao to do that kind of service. city mechanics in that country have their own way of doing things. 😅
Singapore is the same. They leave the old parts in the car sometimes.
Your much better in Philippines rather than UK.
❤the contrast
Do not put up a beach cam. it will make to much money for you.
ffs stop trolling your subscribers.
They want you to get rid of your own parts,no good to them .😊
they just need to show you the parts they change and fix..
At 9:56 I see a dark shadow kinda creepy 😨😨😨😱😱😱
That is insanely contrast uk vs ph
Geese and they can get mean be safe story❤
❤❤❤❤
You and Poppy.
Inspiring video.
❤❤❤
👍👍👍
❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙌
❤❤❤
Why are they separated?
They are not. I guess you missed out viewing on the previous vlogs. Sacha and Story are just having a 3week vacation in the UK to visit nana and family.
It is very cold is April watching you from London
