Watching Story enjoying the ocean makes me realise that a 5 year old kid has much better skill in swimming than someone like me who doesn’t have the opportunity to overcome my phobia of water after a childhood accident being in the water. She’s really good in swimming and I never saw her not even once being scared to be in the water either it’s ocean or swimming pool. I’m enjoying your every adventure story. I hope you won’t grow up so fast so we can enjoy your childhood adventure more. Your such an amazing little girl. Godbless you Story as well as your lovely parents❤️😇🙏
I love balicasag island. I wont ever forget that place. The underwater cliff. It was just mesmerizing. Thanks for sharing. So badly want to go back there again
I am currently at the airport for my trip after more than 2 years when I watched this vlog and listening to Sacha's story of how the experience made her emotional for having experience such amazing experience, it hit me too and got emotional. This is it.indeed. Being able to enjoy the world and learning while experiencing the world is indeed such a blessing. If what good thing this pandemic brought to me - that is having known you in the TH-cam world. It seems Ive seen how you live such an inspiring life since 2020. Bless you more Jay, Sacha and Story❤
It's good that you bring Poppy !she will eventually get use to travelling and riding boats maybe one day she'll jump off and join story while she swims!
I was moved just watching this video and listening to your narration of the whole experience. It certainly is an awesome experience to come up close to a "wild" animal in their natural habitat. And this habitat of theirs is so gorgeous. I would not be surprised at all if Story grows up to be a big-time nature lover. She already is one. I will try and visit Balicasag island the next time I am back in the Philippines.
Poppy is so confident of you guys bringing him to some nice place, no s/s of anxiety, he's just enjoying that you guys brought him with you and the company. I always feel that every time I bring my dog too on our trips she looks so excited looking at where we are going and Story is having the time of her life, she will always remember these moments for the rest of her life and will make her smile.
Poppy has the right to enjoy with her family I bet she would love to swim with you guys too! If i could i would bring my eight dogs with me & enjoy the ocean too!
Story you are so blessed, at your young age you are now exploring beautiful sceneries, learning new things and to think you could dive now under water. 👍👍👍💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I just can't help smiling seeing Poppy ride and enjoying with youin a small boat.. She's enjoying her best moments of her life with you her loving family.. More vlogs..it keeps me out of stress..
A massive thank you 8MFH for this video. It brought my happiness level a couple notches up. Also thank you for bringing along Poppy on this turtle watching trip. She looked very tense as it's her first time to be out in water. May there be many more to come. Hopefully Poppy and Story can swim together soon on your whale shark swimming goal (still on your bucket list, correct?). J's narrative on this experience is indeed moving. Happy to hear his words of positive experience this brought to his family. I am almost envious of their life right now but very appreciative and proud of this family's contribution to making Filipinos see the beauty of the Philippines.
Seeing turtle swim freely in the ocean is one of the most beautiful and calming sight ever. 😍😍 Poppy is a well behaved dog even on boats ( just needs to be comfortable in the water 😉) perfect travel buddy 😍 Also, Story is very ready for whale shark (butanding) adventure in Donsol. 🙌🏼
Beautiful adventure 8miles family. Story she's beautiful Island girl. Poppy is very calm waiting for you. Enjoy your adventure in our country Philippines ❤️
Story is having the best time and experience of her life. She is really getting confident in her swimming skills. I think she was born to be a traveler just like her parents. ✌
There is so much the Philippines can offer you guys. Try Dumaguete next time if you still have time before your trip back to UK. Apo reef is highly recommended.
Good day Jay Sacha and Story and puppy too, enjoy your day together, and thank you for bringing us to your another journey to the province of Bohol ,have fun with your family and take care always, God bless you all.
Another much awaited video ever uploaded of 8MilesFromHome. Thanks for the joy experience you've shared to us. God bless you Sacha, Jay, & Story and of course your well behave Puppy.
The way Sasha is talking excitedly about seeing these magical creatures makes me tear up! Thank you for loving our country guys! Story and Jay did an incredible job of leaving their comfort zone ans just enjoying the gifts of nature! 💕💕💕💕
I truly can relate what Sasha felt during those moments spent in Balicasag. Went there with the whole family snorkeling about 10 years back. It gave me chills and felt amaze on how beautiful underwater can be. The beautiful experience is somehow embedded in my memory.
Same here Jay and Sacha. Our Bohol experience was mindblowing.We had the island tour around panglao. first we had the dolphin watching and at first i was thinking we wont see any and lo and behold we saw several of them. it was so surreal. i was like it was the best day ever. then we went to Balicasag and the trip was kinda long and bumpy but when we were there i was in awe when i saw the turtles and swam with them. seeing the dropoff/cliff underneath was something i just see on videos or tv shows and being there was so amazing. and just like you jay i told myself i want to learn how to free dive or scuba dive. so much to see underwater! and what is the best part of the day for us was we were with our kids and they swam to see the turtles and other fish that they said it was the best day of their lives. they were only 4yo and 8yo that time. after that Bohol has been their most favorite island. they want to go back there always! 💕
A million thanks to you guys for sharing this extra ordinary adventures. Love everything about rsp. Story gaining so much experience in her early childhood.
Good on yah Jay, trying to overcome your fear. Looking forward to the time where life vests are no longer needed. Deep diving and exploring sea beds!! Stay tuned!!
@@picklingonions3982 I've been noticing that actually since the whole family moved here in the Philippines unintentionally. Pak Yeoh has been nit-picking them especially Jay, the seatbelt, the eggs he/she's been seeing in the fridge, and so many more things. Hahaha.
I love the fact that Poppy gets to enjoy travelling and the activities you guys do. She's a good adventure doggo. ❤ And I was thinking how magical Story's life has been thus far. Turly wish my kids could also have the same quality of life. Being in Canada, we don't have places like this too. But one day soon, hopefully we can all come home and my kids can see where I came from. Last time I was home, I got to dive the amazing Apo Island and also got the privilege to swim with turtles in their natural habitat. I totally get it Sascha. I totally get it. Oh and maybe next time, Pops can have a doggo life vest so she can also swim??? For a little while anyways.
Wow! Amazing island drone footage and the underwater footage! 👌 I like the round shape of the island, so beautiful. Beautiful turtles and some fish 🐟 . Glad that you all feel this experience special with Poppy as well. You can see Story's excitement! See you on the next vlog!
This is truly such a most exciting experience in anyone's life, especially in the eyes of a 5-year kid, like Story. And, with you Jay, this amazing experience brought you so much awesome feelings for yourself & Sacha, and doing this together as a family (including your adopted dog, Poppy). What a remarkable, unforgettable moment you had in the Balicasag island, Philippines. So happy for all of you...and may you continue to enjoy these blessings. Best regards and love to your family!🤗👏♥️🌄🏖️🐢
I'm glad you took poppy with you. It seems too much trouble but I just the idea of poppy part of the family and hopefully poppy will get the courage to swim with Story and enjoy the the fun of seeing sea creatures and able to float. Love that colorful dress and bright necklace , it compliments her braids and skin tone. She looks like princess of Bohol island. This is the best one so far on your trip, love the Hugh boat felt safer for your family and I thought it's funny to see poppy with you on that tiny boat that is just precious to see. This vlog is just very well made, the content, the length and most of all the scenery is excellent it has the filming of a person who had captured the moment in time, well done Jay!
It's a beautiful experience specially for Story, swimming with big turtles, she will never forget, I felt your happiness spc Sach and Jay finally wants to learn diving, looking forward for those vlogs with little Story, lovely fishes you've shown, more of those pls.
What an amazing experience. We've been there with our son before. I can imagine why you get emotional. This is such an amazing experience. Stay safe always 🙏❤️
Love those outrigger boats and though it didn’t seem too windy I think a sail boat woul be great around those many islands..you had a very good paddler also..all in all a very wonderful experience….next ? 🙏🏻🇵🇭🕊
I'm glad you brought Poppy to experience that beautiful place with you. It is my dream to be able to bring my fur baby to such a place. I'd probably try to swim with him haha. I love watching your family explore the Philipines. Keep safe❤❤❤
Amazing to see Story grow through her many experiences. Hoping she could add to her experience by leaning another language or 2 while she is still young 🙂
Great job Story. I remember the last time I went to Balicasag I saw a sea turle in the shallow water. I hope uou guys will try the Shark watching in Lila, Bohol. I'm sure Story will love it.
Siargao is good for surfers but if you’re looking for calm waters to swim and relax, you have to drive far out North of the island. Bohol has fine white beaches and the water is just torquiest blue that Siargao can’t offer
I love this video! Thank you for sharing with us your incredible experience swimming with the turtles. It was so heartwarming to see not only Story having fun but also to hear you, Jay and Sacha (seeing you get emotional, too), say that it was one of your most unforgettable experiences. It was such a perfect day! Even Poppy behaved well and the food and shakes looked perfect. (I hope they tasted perfect, too.😋)
Real life story is beautiful!!! Story will never forget all this magical experience she have. She was just learning how to swim in Siargao now she’s swimming in the open seas with turtles 🐢. How amazing is that.
Again another great story, a very worthy to disturb our busy day... this the story of STORY as portrayed by her loving parents.... Now she sings and talk very well in a close perfect presentation... As this was one of Sir Jmayel and Sacha's best moments, so also with that brownie young energetic lady Story... What a very beautiful presentation of this vlog... Thankyou so much...
Wow..wow..woww! Such an amazing experience on many levels even for me who's just watching this vid. How much more for you who has experienced it in person. Puppy is blessed to be with you too.
There are so many beautiful creatures underwater in diff island of the philippines you will love it

I could never imagine Story growing up other than being a true islander with her beautiful skin and golden locks.
Hi puppy❤story❤cha&jay take care god bless family❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's good that you bring Poppy !she will eventually get use to travelling and riding boats maybe one day she'll jump off and join story while she swims!
Oh it made me emotional too, this is why we should protect our environment to preserve marine life. Save Earth!
Can't say I'm happy about this many humans travelling to this island & sea environment.
Ha ha ha you something like that in Thailand?
Men! That water is sooo clear and so blue and mix in greeny color! Thats amazing!
You guys are blooming. I love the glow on your skin, shows how much you love your life right now.
Flying in the water!
Fantastic!
Thanks
Thats Paradise 🥰😍
My childhood experienced embraced the beautiful nature that's God created ❤💖🙏🙌
the water is so calm, so nice
Gotta love the beaches in the Philippines! They're beautiful.
I was moved just watching this video and listening to your narration of the whole experience. It certainly is an awesome experience to come up close to a "wild" animal in their natural habitat.

Make memories with Poppy. Take her with you wherever. She’s part of your family. She just needs a life jacket too. ❣️
Poppy is so confident of you guys bringing him to some nice place, no s/s of anxiety, he's just enjoying that you guys brought him with you and the company. I always feel that every time I bring my dog too on our trips she looks so excited looking at where we are going and Story is having the time of her life, she will always remember these moments for the rest of her life and will make her smile.
😍❤️😍❤️ Soooo cool!!! One for the books. Memories for keeps! Going to miss this when you leave. ❤️❤️❤️ Story is so cute! 🥰🥰🥰
Poppy has the right to enjoy with her family I bet she would love to swim with you guys too! If i could i would bring my eight dogs with me & enjoy the ocean too!
I'd probably cry too 😍 just how profound the whole experience is!
Beautiful Island of Bohol Story is so excited and she's singing too enjoy guy's 😉
GOD BLESS YOU JAY SASHA AND STORY AND PUPPY TOO. MABUHAY KAYO.
I take that as a yes! Love 💘 your braids 😍 Story!
Story you are so blessed, at your young age you are now exploring beautiful sceneries, learning new things and to think you could dive now under water. 👍👍👍💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
So much life glittering in Story's eyes 👀😘
I just can't help smiling seeing Poppy ride and enjoying with youin a small boat.. She's enjoying her best moments of her life with you her loving family.. More vlogs..it keeps me out of stress..
Oh poor Poppy where is she now..where did they left her
What a heartbreak..Poppy!!!
A massive thank you 8MFH for this video. It brought my happiness level a couple notches up. Also thank you for bringing along Poppy on this turtle watching trip. She looked very tense as it's her first time to be out in water. May there be many more to come.

What you are doing now inspires me to do more myself even though I’m already at a senior age. Deep diving maybe not but other things.
Seeing turtle swim freely in the ocean is one of the most beautiful and calming sight ever. 😍😍 Poppy is a well behaved dog even on boats ( just needs to be comfortable in the water 😉) perfect travel buddy 😍
Also, Story is very ready for whale shark (butanding) adventure in Donsol. 🙌🏼
Beautiful adventure 8miles family. Story she's beautiful Island girl. Poppy is very calm waiting for you. Enjoy your adventure in our country Philippines ❤️
Story is having the best time and experience of her life. She is really getting confident in her swimming skills. I think she was born to be a traveler just like her parents. ✌
There is so much the Philippines can offer you guys. Try Dumaguete next time if you still have time before your trip back to UK. Apo reef is highly recommended.
You are such a beautiful family,...when something moves mummy to tears, that's really special ..loved this video thank you all. .
Good day Jay Sacha and Story and puppy too, enjoy your day together, and thank you for bringing us to your another journey to the province of Bohol ,have fun with your family and take care always, God bless you all.

So beautiful there, you guys should move there….I’d never want to leave
Wow, it amazing under the water
You guys are lucky you see the turtles in the ocean swimming. I only them in the aquarium and very small. Hope someday I will go to this island.
A million thanks to you guys for sharing this extra ordinary adventures. Love everything about rsp. Story gaining so much experience in her early childhood.
Fantastic video. Happy Poppy came along. Thanks for sharing.😎
Good on yah Jay, trying to overcome your fear. Looking forward to the time where life vests are no longer needed. Deep diving and exploring sea beds!! Stay tuned!!
You seem to have a big crush on Jay.

Sash looks stunning with the pink top and her hair down.
You got to try Cebu's Sardines Run & Turtle watching in Moalboal & Whale Watching in Oslob.
Awesome Jay I am proud of you now you finally enjoy the beauty of the ocean and the turtle. I enjoy seeing 🐕Poppy with you guys. Have fun🌻🥰🐕❤️☀️

It's a beautiful experience specially for Story, swimming with big turtles, she will never forget, I felt your happiness spc Sach and Jay finally wants to learn diving, looking forward for those vlogs with little Story, lovely fishes you've shown, more of those pls.
Story is exceptional ... she's beyond her age..
Thank you for sharing all that Beauty!! Books and classroom lectures cannot replace your actual experiences…PRICELESS!!
I really love your shots! Amazing vlog! I love how you narrate the whole experience and we can feel your emotions thru it! :)
What an amazing experience. We've been there with our son before. I can imagine why you get emotional. This is such an amazing experience. Stay safe always 🙏❤️
What an awesome way to learn, Story is a very lucky girl, awesome family, love your adventures
Love those outrigger boats and though it didn’t seem too windy I think a sail boat woul be great around those many islands..you had a very good paddler also..all in all a very wonderful experience….next ? 🙏🏻🇵🇭🕊
Wonderful to see you all happy and enjoying your Bohol vacation with Story and also with Poppy ..
I'm glad you brought Poppy to experience that beautiful place with you. It is my dream to be able to bring my fur baby to such a place. I'd probably try to swim with him haha. I love watching your family explore the Philipines. Keep safe❤❤❤
Wow! awesome drone shots , and looking how excited Story is that's says it all....I love how she sing. she's really an awesome kid...
Wow so pretty , your so lucky to visit this beautiful place.. We love u eight miles hug to Story🙏🌹❤️😘🇨🇦
Just so heartwarming 😍 Poppy is so protective of her family! What a dog!
Oh the magic of communing with the beauty and bounty that Mother Nature provides. Thanks so much for sharing.
Good job guys especially Story. Story could be a marine biologist. Have fun guys.
Amazing to see Story grow through her many experiences. Hoping she could add to her experience by leaning another language or 2 while she is still young 🙂
You guys should think about relocating to Bohol. It’s amazing. 😊💕
It's rather a shame telling them where to live. They are more comfortable in Siargao.
What a wonderful experience you have guys!enjoy before heading to your UK holiday!
Great job Story. I remember the last time I went to Balicasag I saw a sea turle in the shallow water. I hope uou guys will try the Shark watching in Lila, Bohol. I'm sure Story will love it.
Really fantastic experienced for the whole family..
I was so excited to be in the water with you. Thanks for taking us along on this great adventure.
Bohol is so interesting. So much to do. Prettier than Siargao
Siargao is good for surfers but if you’re looking for calm waters to swim and relax, you have to drive far out North of the island. Bohol has fine white beaches and the water is just torquiest blue that Siargao can’t offer
When I go back , we will check out Bohol for sure. Thank you for sharing. Water looks great… that’s why we go to Hawaii . We love being in the water.
A huge smile to see Story growing in that Island😘...How I wish to see that Turtles too although I don't even know how to swim. Keep safe always!
absolutely beautiful place hope makapunta ako dyn ganda 😍 💖 ❤
I love this video! Thank you for sharing with us your incredible experience swimming with the turtles.

Oh i love this simple,awesome family with poppy!!!
Im from Bohol and am so proud that you had experience to live and explore our province, njoy coz life is beautiful…
Wow..wow..woww! Such an amazing experience on many levels even for me who's just watching this vid. How much more for you who has experienced it in person. Puppy is blessed to be with you too.
Good job 👏 be safe 👍
Been to Balicasag many years ago, and it is indeed beautiful.
.. Good morning 🌅🌄... Amazing adventure today for you.... amazing family
