Thank you so much for watching!
The only constant thing in life is change. We thought Samal Island was the perfect place for us, but now we will spend our last days here.
In the mornings, I usually tend to my plants.
I also planted some herbs, vegetables and fruit tree seeds.
After that, I pick up a hook and proceeds to my favorite meditation.
In the evening we had an unpleasant surprise. A colony of red tropical ants attacked our seeds.
At night, some animals started running around on the roof. I love horror movies, but gets scared so easily.
The pots of plants on our doorstep grew larger by the day. We don't have our own land or house yet, but we already have our own vegetable garden.
To work in the Philippines, foreigners need a certain visa. Boris on a tourist visa and can't work yet.
We decided to create a TH-cam channel called "Island Life" where I would dub our videos in English. I didn't like the idea. The Internet scares me. I just wanted to write for my husband and support him. But Boria talked me into giving it a try. These videos are our memory and a gift to our future children. Also, he wants to share with foreigners like him his unusual and simple moments from life in the Philippines.
The place where we live is in the no-fly zone of the airport.
We decided to take a walk outside and find a place to launch our drone.
On the way, Boria noticed an unusual fruit on a tree that looked like a cone. It's called an atis, or sugar apple. I told him that we had such a tree growing on our farm, but we rarely ate its fruit. The ants raided them faster than they were ripe. In India, the seeds and dried fruits of atis were used as a fish poison and insecticide, so you have to be careful when eating them.
We found an open field where children play, cows graze, and dogs run around. There is plenty of room for everyone to relax, be happy and joyful.
The children themselves gather in small groups according to their age and interests and have fun.
Basketball is the most popular sport in the Philippines. It is played at both amateur and professional levels. The countryside even has its own barangay league.
In the evening, a large insect flew in through our window. We found out it was a cicada. They are so noisy, especially at night. We always hear them but have never seen them before.
This bug must be ticklish and it really amused me. We let the cicada outside and quickly closed the window so it couldn't come back in.
The next day we returned to the field where the children were playing. Not far away we noticed an avocado tree. It had so much fruit on it. I love avocados.
The children sold us some avocados for 10 pesos apiece. In the Philippines we make it as a dessert, with condensed milk and ice. At first my husband thought I was joking. But the dessert turned out to be really good.
This cute little goat is curious about what's in our bag.
And kids are always very curious when we launch our drone. Their little smiles and the way they sign "peace" with their fingers is so cute. That's what we should be teaching children - peace and love.
Samal is a beautiful place. It was our dream island. But after living here for four months, we realized it wasn't the place we wanted. We wouldn't be able to buy a good piece of land here to build a house someday. Land prices are going up now because they are going to build a bridge here. We don't have kids yet, so there's time to try other places. We decided to move to the island of Mindanao. It's big, and there's so much more to see there.
We found a house in the province of Davao de Oro and went to see it. The house has a separate kitchen, a bedroom room, a living room and its own small yard. The back side of the house has a view of tall coconut trees. The owner also let us use the double bed. The rent is cheaper than on Samal. We really liked it and decided to move here.
The day before we moved in, I swept the front of the house and got rid of the weeds. It was clean when we arrived. I made sure the place is clean when we leave. Mom and I are a little scared about the move. In the new place, we are basically starting all over again. On Samal, the locals already know us. And where we're going, we again have no one, no friends.
The plants from our vegetable garden are also going on a trip to another island.
In the evening, Kuya Ben and Ate Mila came over and brought wine to celebrate our departure. It was sad to say goodbye. They are very good people and good friends. They have always helped us. We are very grateful to them and glad we got to know them.

Why not do a collab with Jelena Kopilec
It is worth watchin' this vlog...I love how you picture things...your family so humble and simple kaya...napakabait mother in law mo as well as your husband...hindi hirap mag adopt sa simpling buhay sa Pilipinas.
Darlene ayaw mo ba dito sa Luzon or malapit sa lugar mo na mag umpisa kung anot ano man madali kang mapuntahan ng relatives mo.saka kung maka kita man trabaho ang asawa mo mas mataas pa din dito sa banda sa atin ang sahod kung ang skill ni Boris maraming furniture shop dito.
sana maging maayos ang lahat san man kayo ma padpad
pinaka mahirap Yong palipat-lipat ng tirahan laging umpisa .kung sana bakasyon lang ang hanap nyo ay ok yan .ingat kayo lagi GOD Bless ❤😊
Barangay Aundaneo near Canibad Beach on Samal has lots 100 sqm for 175k pesos. Your closer to Davao where you have work and lots of construction going on.
I reached out to you because I’m on Samal but did not hear back. We are building on Samal solid buhos concrete buildings.
Upload more Darlene so it will help you and Boris financially. More the better and frequent
You have a good mother in law. Treat her like your own mother. Filipinos are kind and loving. You can make a cooking blog for Russian food with your MIL, but only if she wants, take care and God bless!
I usually skip ads but in support of Island Life, I don't.
Thank you so much. We love you❤️
When I come to Philippines I hope to find a wife like u. U are great and ur man is lucky to have u
I agreed. She’s smart and knowledgeable. You find one just take it slowly.
U get to travel to different places then u get to choose where you want to live.Good luck God bless
Ang sarap maglaro ng mga bata. This is how a childhood should be and not tied to their mobile phones for hours. They have a wide yard to play around and a sunny day to frolic in. 💝🌸🤸🏃🤸🧍
I admire you Darlene a very simple happy living in an island married to foreigner just keep the good work you are lucky too I think your husband and mother in law are so kind
Thank you so much ❤️🥰
Apart from the intelligent take on culture and simple living, I love the music, editing, and cinematography.
It would be a great idea to make cooking videos too. I can see Boris' Mom is so passionate with baking/cooking. Introducing Russian recipes to your viewers is a unique content and would spark interest among Pinoys.
Darlene, I have seen you hug your mother in law, do that once in a while so you can bond with her, she will be happy I’m sure if you do that.
Walk with her
I’m waiting for mama Katya cooking videos ❤
You have the best videos in the Philippines. Yours are so peaceful and natural and that's what makes them different from all others.
Everyday I look to see if you have a new one out but I know it takes time to make a high-quality video.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much. We appreciate your support 🥰
Agree. Their chanel is unique not the same as the usual we watch and listen in TH-cam. How they narrate events share stories and history of places is just awesome
I never get tired watching your videos, i watch them repeatedly while waiting for new videos from. My only wish is for you to finally find your permanent dream place. God bless you both.
Praying that God will guide you to a right place.
God bless you basang, aganannad kayo. - tita Nora
Agyaman kami Tita Nora. Aganannad kayo met❤️
Right, changes is usually constant and is good for improvement. Good in your adventure.
Typical province, where children can play outdoor! 👍🇵🇭🇧🇭
Best videographer and best narrator in the Philippines! Thank you both for taking us along on your journeys.
Jan ña kayo sa davao mag process at mgnda nmn jan sa davao.silent viewers nyo po ako tubong davao..stay safe and god bless you always ❤❤❤
There’s a lot of foreigners living in Davao oriental too.
If you're into vlog, you should upload at least once a week ...for more videos to watch by your followers... Just a suggestion...❤🥰
I suggest mixing baking soda, powder sugar or honey as bait will help eliminate ants in your house and garden. Good luck on your new place.
Just vlog ur day to day life. We’re busy with our daily hectic lives working in big cities. We feel relax watching simple side of daily life in the countryside.Such as gardening & cooking vegetables from your own garden. Having chickens in the backyard will provide some daily fresh organic eggs for ur daily consumption. I admire Boris & mother for immersing in our culture.
Focus in blogging Darlene and Boris..the money you earned in you tube must be a big help for your family.
So post videos more often..at least every other day..😊😊❤❤
She post only every 10 or 11 days. Better everyday more views and more earn money
@@edroachannelTama po kayo dapat dalasan ang PAG upload..
Hello... DARLENE AND BORIS AND MAMA KATYA...
Lagi kong inaabangan ang apload mo nakakamis... Sana lgi kang mag apload
GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello po. Maraming salamat po. God bless ❤️
10 peso for a one piece of avocado.. You are blessed to have it for that price.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes....i miss lots of your Videos. Why not upload more??? How about living in Valencia or Dauin Dumaguete??? There are lots of Russian bloggers there who were able to buy farm land on installment basis. Maybe you will like it there too?
Charming video.😍 A suggestion for the ant infestation is to use Boric acid powder. You may be able to get it in a pharmacy or where you buy fertilizer (?) Mix equal parts powdered boric acid and a sweet food such as peanut butter, corn syrup and powdered sugar, and then add water. Make sure the mixture is viscous and still somewhat liquid so that the ants can eat it without drowning. Place mixture in small containers along all active chemical trails. The worker ants eat the boric acid poison and feed it to the queen. When the queen dies then the colony of ants disappear. Hope this helps. Thanks for posting lovely videos😍😍 More power to your family.
Hello! Sweet couple and momma..stay safe, stay healthy God bless you and family...💕🦋 Texas
I'm watching from Bremen Germany.. l'm always waiting of your video and watching it till the end. I found that your content is quite interesting. Stay connected so that your video will be updated to me and keep safe always. Have a nice day and God bless us all.🙏❤
It's sad that Samal Island did not become the perfect place for you guys. There must be a place somewhere out there that is meant to be for you. Darlene, please continue doing videos and vlogging because I find your approach different and unique, not the usual type of vloggers that I see. Your also very keen into details in sharing your adventures with us, you even provide additional knowledge, trivia's and information's to things that you have discovered. Good Luck! in finding your perfect place to stay that would suites your interest and needs. God Bless & take care always.
there are places more beautiful than samal..siargao is one & bukidnon ...bukidnon is cooler perfect for european people
yes i love darlene & Boris style of vlogging
samal is very expensive...but to me Siargao is far better...though both expensive places....
Please continue videos and vlogging
azing video Boris snd Darlene. I oray that God will protect you wherever you are going. Whatever you do always bring it to the Lord in prayer.
Both of u will eventually find a suitable place to live till old age. ♥️🙏 May God bless both of u.
😮😮 ooh,samal much much better area than Mako ate😮 but it is your decision..so it is okay as long you all like it,enjoy and be happy and safe
I really enjoyed your video. It's nice to see sweet and lovely couple like you.
I am from Davao City of Mindanao Island. I grew up in Bankerohan market. Maybe someday we can meet. I love how kind you are to your mother in law and. It so nice to know that her son is taking care of his sweet mother. You are a sweet woman.
Thank you so much. We're glad you liked our videos and we hope you enjoyed the video about the Bankerohan market 🥰
Good luck on your next destination darlene, boris and mom. Pray hard and be positive always. God is good all the time. Pls more uploads.

Thank you, my friend ❤️🤗
How sweet of Boris when he said you're lucky when you found him!! Romantic si kuya!!!
Very romantic☺️
@@islandlifebd swerte mo talaga ate !!!
I agree👍👍👍
Randomly came across an older video of yours. Since then, I have not missed one that you have uploaded and watched them all! Both your skills put together is amazing and have brought great content! It’s wonderful to see your mother in law being well taken care of, too!
Born and raised in the US, but my parents always made sure I knew and understood our Filipino culture by traveling to the PI to visit. And as an Ilocana myself, Darlene, I am very proud of how hardworking, passionate, loving and caring you are towards your family. Definitely reminds me a lot of my mom and how she took care of us! I can only see greater blessings coming for you, your husband and MIL🙏🏼
Try to put salt over the area where there are plenty of ants roaming around. This is very effective.
I don't often subscribe but your videos are really amazing. Very well done and entertaining. I've only watched a few and look forward to seeing them all. You are a beautiful couple! Thank you for sharing your story and for the great effort and quality hard work you put into it.
Thank you so much. Enjoy watching ❤️🥰
I am so glad you’ve conquered your fears of the internet. You do such a great job narrating, and the imagery you provide is beautiful and dreamy. I hope I’ll be able to visit the Philippines some day. My father was born there and had to leave after WW2. Your videos always bring so much joy. ❤
The internet still scares me, but we wouldn't have met great and kind people if we hadn't made this channel. We are so grateful to all of you.

I love these children green natural playground. Very organic and simple life but full of joy, happiness, and contentment.❤
Liking what Boris' mom made. Looks tasty. Parang banana empanada.
I think you and Boris, along with his mom, should continue making more videos, if possible with your narration in English and Tagalog. Tuloy nyo lang ginagawa nyo.
Good luck to your new place and hope you will find friends there too.
I can’t wait to see you find your dream home in the Philippines. May all your wishes come true. Please stay safe🙏🏽. Wear sensible shoes and pants when hiking in the fields, as there could be some venomous snakes around. God bless you all.
Wow! So you moved to Davao de Oro... Samal Island is very near Davao City and they are currently building a bridge connecting both places... these are some reasons Samal is becoming expensive.. but Davao de Oro is a great province it has lots of GOLD!... Gold Mining is one of the many industries in Davao de Oro. Plus, you are nearer to BECOMING FILIPINO who is based in Davao Oriental in Cateel... Good luck Darlene and Boris..
Thank you so much 😊. Are you from Davao de Oro? We heard about the gold mining industry here, so interesting.
Davao is nice place to live just stay near to the main city of Davao
@@islandlifebd I am from Davao City... but i got lots of friends from Davao de Oro who are now residing in Davao City...
Wish this family have a good life here. God bless you all.
Hi Darlene/Boris/Mama Katya. Darlene hope you're feeling much better. You are doing a great job narrating your vlogs. 👍🏼The move to Davao will be another chapter in your lives. Since it's a bigger city, there will be more places to explore, better opportunities, house rental, shops, eateries and much more. Maybe if you are able to upload vlogs twice a week, you will get more viewership/subscribers and it will help you guys financially. 👍🏼✌🏻Best wished on all your endeavors. 🫶
Thank you for always supporting us🤗❤️
I agree. They should try uploading 2 videos a week. Their videos are amazing and well-done.
That cicada sounds like a toy when you press its underside
Yes i agree, i am always checking if she have a new videos upload.
God bless you .Boris and Darlene, i look forward to more vloggs from you.
i have heard about those noise in the roof before. The locals call it Tikbalang or something like that or Sigbin. You will be lucky if you can catch one before sunrise.
I just love your mellow voice Darlene. Where ever place you may go i wish you good luck and stay safe with Boris and Mama Katya. God bless❤
Thank you so much ❤️
So happy to wake up and see your upload Darlene and Boris! I've missed you guys! ❤ I would be afraid too if I hear anything crawling on the roof!!! My husband planted many fruit trees in the backyard and I rarely go out there at night because I know that's when the critters are roaming about. 😆
Those banana pies Mama Katya made looks delicious - like a Russian version of turon or empanada. The batter looks very thick, almost like a country biscuit consistency.
I'm so glad a small clip of Darlene doing the voiceover is included. It's very intriguing to see like a backstage peek of production. I'm glad Darlene was convinced to do it despite her initial hesitation because this is indeed a precious gift of reflection for you and your future children. Her voice is perfect for it and I would not have known you all if the English version did not become available. 😃❤
About the avocados, oh my how fresh and cheap they are there. It's about $1-2 EACH here and much smaller. I remember that when I told a Mexican coworker that Filipinos treat avocado as a dessert, he also thought it was an abomination because here it's treated as a vegetable, used to make salsa with tomatoes. I said to Filipinos, it's delicious as a milk shake or as ice cream. My coworker said it's as weird as saying we make chicharon ice cream! 😂 To him, adding sugar to avocado is unthinkable! 😅 I told him don't knock it before you try it. He is missing out on this delicious treat! 🥑
Also thank you for mentioning that your stay in Samal was 4 months. Knowing the timeline of your journey is very interesting. The features of the new house does look nicer and with the bonus of a cheaper rent, the move makes sense. I'm intrigued how you managed to move all your plants and belongings since it took a ferry ride to transport. Looking forward to the new stories coming up. ❤
Ingat kau lagi ....a silent viewer.... Sana gabayan kau ni Lord sa lahat Ng oras. Wala man akong maitulong na pinansyal dasal ko maging maayos kau.
You make videos more often to get more subscribers and eventually more views at syempre more income..good luck to your new place and take care
Happy to watching your vlog

I am enjoying your voice-over ate Darlene. 🥰 Your videos are truly healing. I am rooting for your family's new adventure on a new island.🫶 All the best.

Davao Oriental
Is beautiful… espcially Cati-il… but davao
De Oro which is compostella valley is far!! But theyre famous in farming’n❤
Ohh that parsley 🌿 wooow 🥰🥰🥰. I agree with avocado as dessert or snacks back home and love it and never adjusted with the way they do avocado as guacamole 🥑
Nice to see simple life of children Ph..contrary to what is happening to developed countries..its sad to hear they are more concerned about their gender identities at their early age.
Always excited towatch your vblog! And i am so happy i watched it today...Goodluck to your house moving! I prayed that every Filipino or anyone you meet are good and kindhearted people! Take care always! God bless to your family❤️😇🥰
We love your story telling. At 9:10 wow those Avocados look good. And you got them for 10 pesos each. Avocado desert yummy. ❤❤❤ this is in Samal? We'll be there soon. Counting the hours. 😁😁
Davao de oro is one of the safest place in davao, stay safe guys specially mama katya. Make video very often.
Yes it is. We love it here🥰
@@islandlifebd Maam Darlene, which place in Davao de Oro? Basing on your video, it seems that you are in Maco, Davao de Oro where I grew up. Nasa Binuangan or Lumatab area ka maam? Sana andyan ako para ma tour kita sa bayan ko. Im still an OFW working outside of the Philippines. God Bless po maam.
