Honestly speaking this is when it happened for us, this trip to Sugba Lagoon was the tipping point. We think we both had already decided that we should move to the Philippines and take our lives in a totally new direction. Then the pandemic happened! The rest is history. This is our last pre-covid vlog from our travels with Phwah Phwah, tomorrow we will return to Philippines vlogs publishing 3 days a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. See you guys there!
My goodness your vid Jay... I know there are tons of beautiful and breath taking places here in the Philippines but, your editing skills and your taste is just awesome
I don't know why but that tiny moment from 13:26 to 13:41, especially with Phwah Phwah exclaiming "ahh, what a runner!" at 13:38 was quite a metaphor for me. Grandmother and grandchild. Careful, calculated but relaxed steps and carefree, fun-loving, enthusiastic running. The present that goes and the future that is going. As per usual, Eight Miles from Home does not disappoint with the cinematography and the thought-provoking dialogues / monologues.
Guys i dont know why but this video made me cry... God really blessed the Philippines with amazing ang breathtaking islands. An incredible gift to mankind.
It's building good memories especially for Story look how pretty & happy she is ! And Jake's filming is so excellent ! Captured every moments that will bring smile as if you also is there. Good job !
That was a great come back guys! We missed your vlogs even if it was just a one week break, lol! Sugba Lagoon is really stunning! Maybe if it's allowed already, you guys should definitely visit SOHOTON COVE NATIONAL PARK in Bucas Grande Island just close to Siargao. That place is even more stunning than Sugba Lagoon & you're definitely going to capture some epic drone shots there! They also have a jellyfish sanctuary there which Story might love to see in the wild. If you're lucky you can see some jellyfish from the boat or you can swim with them and have some epic underwater shots & close encounter. You don't have to worry because they're stingless jellyfish and they're quite big as well so it's cool to see! You can stay there overnight or even for a few days in Sohoton Bay Resort or Club Tara Resort.
I got so excited when I saw notification of your new video! How I have missed you all! It is snowing this morning and with a good cup of hot coffee and watching you all....well, I am smiling!
I'm thinking I would cry at all of these beautiful firsts. I bet you did. I just see all of you are deep down inside Phillipino . Seems you Belong there. Your hearts fit right in. This video was so relaxing on this rainy day here in Mexico.
Sugba lagoon is very beautiful...yet what is more evident in all your videos is the love that is radiating everywhere. So so striking i was at the receiving end. Teary.
Peaceful? Roosters crowing all hours of the night and day, dogs barking all hours of the night and day, loud music bring blasted all hours of the night and day, and drunken karaoke parties all hours of the night. NOT peaceful
This is one blog that Story would look back one day when she's grown up and surely will say she had fun in siargao phil. This blog says it all Story.... how you enjoyed frolicking the waters of Siargao. 8MFH continue to enjoy your stay here in the Phil...savor the natural beauty that abounds siargao and other places in the country you'll be visiting once the pandemic has subsided. 🙏🙏💓💕❤️Keep safe always👨👨👧🏄♀️🏄♂️🏊♀️🚣♀️
You guys has made Siargao even more beautiful.... I wish more tourist like u comes to Philippines.... the whole family is very positive, very talented and so inspiring. I luv u guys... God bless u ... AMAZING People.
@@8milesfromhome we are okay here in Manila. The typhoon weakened its strength when it headed towards Metro Manila but it was too windy the whole day. The Bicol Region was much devastated by this storm. We hope to see your daily vlogs soon...especially that story will be having her birthday...
The first time I've seen this vlog. Story always put a smile on my face! Sweet girl 💕 touching Pwah Pwah's hand to protect her and telling grandma she can touch the water!👩👦Story looks so happy in the water!
Ohhh! I miss sugba lagoon so much. I've been there 3 times already and every visit was always a different experience with different people. Back then, the house was all made of woods. Old woods. No tourists. We had the place all by ourselves. We had so much fun. We had music (not loud music). The place was surreal. It was peaceful and serene... siargao is definitely the best island in the country!
I can tell from both your reactions in this vlog that to you've truly had fallen in love with Philippines! Sacha first, then J followed after. What a beautiful vlog. I can't wait till Monday!
Story is so adorable! Always makes me laugh and smile. Thank you for sharing your experiences with your daughter with your audience! Thank you for appreciating what Philippines has to offer! ❤️
This video just brings it full circle how much the world has changed in 9 months. You can see Unbridled Joy. And then Jay without knowing it yet comments on the lack of people, also a marker and sign of what was to come. We all seem so different now. Needed this for my Eight Miles from Home fix. Hope you will give an update video for Jay's mom and Story's dog.
Wow another amazing place in the Philippines. It was great to see your mum and family and hope your all keeping safe after learning about the Typhoon. Great video!
I didn't see this video coz I only discovered your channel when lockdown already started. We all miss you guys esp your very adorable "Story". Thank you for posting this vid. What an amazing view. Keep safe and Healthy.🏞

Im just catching up many of your vlogs...just now I come across this view...Oh Im very proud to tell the world our country is one of the most lovely places to live in...perhaps the reason why you have stayed this long despite the pandemic..you have learned to love the place and the people..we just envy you for having visited this place..but thank you enough for letting us see how amazing this one part of our country is..God bless you in your travels...
Wow, what a place, thanks for your video, stunning scenery, I feel so happy for your beautiful adventure, Story, you are such a lovely playful happy little girl. Good luck family and stay safe.
Sasha looks so stunning in the breeze.. I love Story's appetite, she doesn't seem to be finicky eater.. That beautiful smile and that wide eyed look of wonder on her face just made me smile.
It was a breathtaking journey. I envy you guys. . .I am currently living and working here in Canada. . .and I am missing home a lot every time I watch you guys🥺🥺🥺
Wow!! It’s like a beautiful movie!! Thank you for choosing the Philippines as your home. I so miss your daily vlogs but we all understand. Take care and Mabuhay 🇵🇭

Hello 8mfh family. I was so happy to watch your blog this morning. It made my Sunday especially adorable Story and pwah pwah. The scenery is just beautiful. I hope to visit these places someday. Stay safe and healthy❤️
So nice to see you putting out this amazing video, today. I really miss Story and Phwah Phwah was scared but loving the whole experience. I like how you've enjoyed this 3 island tour because you were smiling the whole time, very genuine. I am also glad to know that you are publishing videos again. Can't wait to see Story's birthday celebration in the island. Thank you and take care.
