The rain has to do with the rehabilitation of the island. It happened to us here in cagayan when we were devastated by the typhoon lawin category 5. The rain helped in growing the trees and plants that are washed away and destructed. And also, you can catch waters from the rain.
I think it more that the shear line of Amihan is now in your area. We had it in the last week's in Masbate with a lot of rain and now we have sunshine. The positive side is that it will move more south to Mindanao and you will have a dry and hot season ahead... The Nature will recover very soon when l see our grass growing every month....
When heard about Odette hitting Siargao, ur family was the first that came to my mind. So glad, u're all right! God bless you and all the people in Siargao 🙏❤️❤️
I've been following your vlogs like a movie in real time😭😭. Always praying your family finally makes it despite of horrible natural disaster. Continue support your channel without skipping ads. God has its purpose of all your sufferings..💕💕💕
My husband and I have been watching your videos and have been subscribers for more than a year now. We love watching Story and we appreciate that you share with the world the excellent ways in which you are bringing her up. But nothing tops your positive attitude and resilience in the face of the major destruction brought on by the typhoon Odette. I am truly amazed at the way you have recovered immediately from such a major disaster. You and the entire island are in my prayers. I grew up in Manila but is now in California. When I was a kid, a very strong typhoon lifted the entire roof of our house and landed elsewhere. We put up a tent inside the roofless house and we continued to live like that until the roof was repaired. As a kid, that was my reality and was a bit oblivious but your experience reminded me of that time. Pls continue making great videos.
I can relate .. If there's heavy rains I feel some fear because we experience some bad flooding during ONDOY here in Metro Manila .. That is why I have to pray Everyday for protection from these natural calamities .. God has been merciful and heard our prayers. Our prayers are with you and all victims of this Super typhoon ..
That rubber glove-shower head contraption is genius! Windows are up, water tank is in. Glad to see things are looking up for you, guys--one day at a time. 🙂
I can see you guys are going over the bump on the road smoothly now. I am glad and so grateful you decided not to leave Siargao. I dream of living there, and I live vicariously through your vlogs. Godspeed.
ask them to install storm shutters. it doesn't matter how thick the glass is unless its more than 2 inches thick it will break during a typhoon. Storm shutters that you can take on and off would be a great solution. I'm surprised they didn't even put plywood over your windows before the typhoon hit. that's pretty much basic typhoon knowledge.
Agree 100%. If I may suggest, you can still put shutters over your windows. That'll relieve you of worrying if the winds will shatter the glass and, at least, prevent the water coming in so you don't need to spend time drying everything out. Hang in there, guys!
where good at other parts at mindanao. except at Surigao Del Norte, Dinagat island, Leyta, bohol, cebu, bacolod, negros, palawan area that are really in great needs for help especially the food, cloths, roof, wood,and materials for shelter. thanks a lot to your concerned.
Life will be so boring without difficulties and challenges. Spot on Jay when you said it's an endurance test. You guys are battle tested ! Stay strong, one day at a time.
Applaud to your landlord for working hard to do the repairs and quite fast i think ! Ur residence now looking at ur blogs..still the safest and strong even with some damages and its way high in the hill. Just stay put and keep blogging and show the world the progress of things there .. just like good journalists that goes with storm to report the real situation in the world. You guys were the same…. The fact that window was replaced…it only means there Are contractors working there now…. This is real life lessons that makes one stronger emotionally physically equipped to face any trials ! Just like I said earlier….you guys should be grateful to be Healthy and strong and still safe ! Count your blessings ! You can also watch Nomadic movement who moved to Panama with nothing …no water, no electricity and they were able to build a home …very inspiring !!!! Keep going Forward Siargao will recover !!!
It’s a good thing J is a resourceful person. Most Filipino has the same instinct. Looking for solutions that will make things a little easier in some ways. 👏
Happy to see you with that glow on your faces. Your are a great family with adorable Story as the spice and flavour I would say. She is a lovely soul full of hope and faith. Cheers! Watching here at the Northern Territory, Australia.
Now you know how resilient Filipinos are. We've been hit, battered by all kinds of catastrophe over and over again, and still we can show some smile to others. I know that it'll take a while for the eight islands to recover including siargao where you at, but rest assured the mystical island of the Philippines will be back, don't know when but it will be back. Prayers for your family, Jay, Sacha and Story.
@@huyleeching2207 plywood is expensive but the glass windows are more expensive. You can use the materials you mentioned as long as there's no gape the air can circumnavigate in. You don't think about the cost, you think about how much more you can save. I'm sure they can afford the plywoods. If they can't find any in the island, then use the alternative.
You're hanging on beautifully. Don't worry about the palms, they'll always grow back. We're getting a lot of cold and rainy weather this "amihan" season because it's a La Niña year. It'll moderate at around March and then... You made the right choice to stay where you are, this cold season is flu season everywhere else in the country, and especially the Manila area. At least one drug manufacturer has already announced an...ahem...over-demand of paracetamol. (Not a shortage; our "very transparent" Health Department does not want to call it that.) Then there's Omicron, but it's really a flash in the pan. CDC statements and reports from South Africa indicate that it tends to infect only the upper respiratory tract but not the lungs. Yes, it's highly transmissible and could cause breakout infections among the fully vaxxed, but folks who get it are either asymptomatic, or don't suffer any severe symptoms, or get hospitalized for far less severe symptoms than Delta and earlier variants. Omicron mortality could potentially be very low. With continuous vaccine/booster administration as well as strict adherence to health protocols, Summer is still on schedule and people are still going to want to go to Siargao. Siargao is going to be back and you'll be there. Just keep on keeping on, and stay safe and healthy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and everyone affected by Odette.
dont skip the adds guys at least on this small ways we can help... AJA! Jay, Sacha and to my favorite youngest vlogger STORY and to puppy also ...so happy to know that your windows are okay now, and your water tank...kudos to PAPANG also please and to his daughter MARY JANE... you are in good hands guys i know...HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Pls support this great channel! However rotting your brain and wasting your time by listening to commercial propagandists just so that the content creators can earn a fraction of a cent is a terrible proposition. My time and my sanity is worth a lot more than that.
I really really appreciate this lovely family and my little Story. I pray for your safety J, Scha and dearest Story🙏❤🌹 Your courage is so encouraging...I thought you have gone somewhere else. This is resiliency in action...🙏❤🌹
Happy New Year to my favourite TH-cam family. I always eagerly look forward for your vlogs. You always put a smile on my face. So happy for the progress after the storm. Blessings always!!❤️🇦🇬
It's good to see people like you guys smiling ☺️ regardless of the situation, it's inspiring how you are coping , you are setting an example to your daughter on how to cope up in difficult situation, surely she will learn to be strong too like her parents 🥰 and loving to live here in the Philippines, is really amazing. God bless your family ❤️💕
Hi guys, praying for your safety. Just give the island 1-2 years. You'll see how things will get back to normal. Rebuild and leave those bad memories alone, what is important is that you are all safe.
Am happy for you guys you slowly recovering day by day. Praying and hoping everything there will be stabilized everybody will be bless with the relief aid of the LGU..Stay safe and strong everyone..God bless you all.
In every obstacles and challenges of life there's always finish line, keep safe always God is always watching everything will back to normal soon.......
I thought you're leaving Siargao 8Miles. I'm happy to see you still there. Everything will be fine for a few months. You have a good courage Jay. God bless you and your family. Take care always 🙏❤️
Shower "contraption" is brilliant! Worthy of a patent!! 👍 Seriously though, I have long admired your family since your Portugal days and you continue to impress me by your humanity, humility, resilience, humor and creativity. Rough as it may be, I truly believe that your current experiences will be immeasurably valuable for the molding of Story's character. She is already showing maturity way beyond her years. Good job, everybody. 😅
Hello guys siargao is recovering slowly but surely 👍!the government is making a hard work to give financially support to all places affected by the typhoon ,you doing well guys take care and keep safe always 🇵🇭🇬🇧
I always watch your videos and always they have inspiring calming effect on me… but with Odette and afterwards, you’ve become a symbol of strength, resilience, encouragement, hope and even PEACE and JOY! A MASSIVE GRATITUDE AND THANK YOU! God protect you and keep you safe always!
I must say that glove shower is a brilliant idea! I'm all smiles seeing that things are starting to move again. Really hoping that things will continue getting better and better towards normalcy. ❤
Sending my love you you three. So glad you have your windows back in. You have all endured such a scary event in your life and I’m sure it makes you value even the smallest of things. Bless you all x
always look at the bright side of things. you are alive and well. it isn't only you that was affected by the storm. others are going through worst. all this shall come to pass. take care guys.
Sacha and Jay we're both experiencing that, the amihan season, I stayed in Bohol, my kitchen is gone, Thank we're all alive..we will survive, you live your life like Filipinos now..thank God you made the right decisions of staying, things are temporary, you will get back to more life in the Philippines..you will be rewarded in the future.were praying for the family to be well.. Drink more of lemon ginger with honey to prevent colds, this is a cold seasons here..stay safe and healthy.. God bless..
I feel for you but the whole world is suffering. I live in Western Canada 🇨🇦 and it has been extremely cold and winds up to 100 km an hour. Power outages with the temperature at -45 below and with wind chill varying to - 60. At least you have heat. Stay strong and hang on. 💟🙏🙏
I heard the news the rain is up to february . Everywhere now flooding. Here in Malaysian a lot of places affected by a worst flood lost their houses, belongings and cars... They really needs helps especially the continue raining. Glad to see that you guys started to recoverd with the situation.. stay safe always guys 😍❤️
I saw that in malaysia, lots of severe weather. Hokkaido Japan, cover with snow, Colorado, fire, storm in Antalya... not even counting the volcanoes like in Las Palmas...Climate change. Philippines is the 3rd most natural disasters prone in the world.
ONE BIG FIGHT 8 MILES YOU CAN DO IT ....Happy to see Sash smile unlike before she's so emotional ....we Filipinos used to it ...dont worry guys Siargao will stand up and better....Take extra care everyone and God bless...from Manila ..Resiliency is key ....
Nature has its own way to recover.🌬 I think rain is one of its way to rehabilitate itself🌧🍂 Take care u guys!♡🙏♡ Much Love from Manila to ur family there in Siargao and all the Siargaonons.♡♡♡
What's great with u guys is you don't just like our country but you love it..by embracing not only the beauty of the place..but also how you face the bad situation with a great positivity in mind and in ur hearts..truly you are living the Filipino spirit...God bless you.
It was really great to see you smiling again and recovering from the great storm. It gives hope to everyone this coming New Year. May God bless you always and looking forward to see you back to normal blooging.
I love your shower❤️It’s practical, innovative and cleverly done. I’m happy to see guy’s coping well to your current situation. It shall pass and I believe that any unfortunate/bad situation will end soon. Keep your faith, be patient and keep smiling. Hi! Story🥰Poppy is so cute. Stay safe 🙏❤️
So glad to hear you both laugh again. Story of course is delightful. Your emotional fortitude is truly admirable! Love the “glove shower”! So inventive! May we all be filled with new hope as we enter our new year. I’m from Cebu City. If you ever find yourselves in Cebu, contact me.
AAA you guys are amazing ...despite the difficult things you are experiencing there like water,electricity,environment and weather you still have those smiles .I admire how you are coping with you life in Siargao ...by the way,why not use some tapes across your windows in case you are worried about wind that might break the glass ...8mWH we hope for a better tomorrow
The best thing for you to do is cover a tarp from the outside to cover the window and secure tightly to avoid the draft or water coming in. I’m from the Philippines living here in the UK now. But I grew up with that weather and my father used to do that.
Whenever i'm experiencing shortcomings and difficulties in life. I always told told myself, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". It's very true, and it gives me a new and brighter perspective in life, learning how to appreciate simple things. Carry on beautiful family. Your are doing the right thing for inspiring others.
You may be right that your wind block is now gone so it will seem wetter than normal. However, it is the surfing capital of the Philippines so wind is normal there. The window sealing will definitely help. The big big window couldn't have come any sooner... Thank God 🙏🏼 Your family has suffered such a traumatic experience, which will take time to recover. You are in my prayers. I can't help but praise and be amazed by the resiliency of the Philippinos. It is likely reflective of their living a lifetime of typhoons. They continue to smile and support each other. Based on your early videos regarding the typhoon, things are clearly getting better, albeit slowly. I commend you for efforts. It is amazing. You will get through this 🤗😊🙏🏼
It's a very different world without this century's finest amenities but some good points have been made about handling the 'population masses' vs where your at. Glad to hear that fresh foods and water supplies are picking up... is it possible for you to get your hands on a bigger generator? That might allow you guys more comfort while your regular power lines are rebuilt. They do make smaller floor models of air conditioning for around 300$ it might also be a good idea to order one soon as there are nation wide waiting lists for lots of everyday self sufficient items like this. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
i love your family, the cute little angel and the doggie") how i would like to meet u personally guys") take care, praying that ul recover and remain safe here in the philippines
you guys are amazing and you managed live in a place that were totally destroyed by super typhoon and almost everything is gone but still you guys have strong character or attitude that you can survived little by little. your family is like Boyscout you know what to do in times of disaster and create something for survival. God Bless to all of you and im amazed to the strong spirit and faith that you can do it. Someday Siargao will RISE AGAIN... take care
It wont take long Jay, remember the pathway going to forest school of Story, how fast the greens grow, give it some time everything will go back to normal, even much beautiful you'll see, hang on in there our beautiful family, we're always here to support you, love you guys, Happy New Year.
You hv become resilient, awesome! Stay safe, in time everything will get to normal. Sometimes in life you have to face some challenges to become strong. God bless you. I am from Pilar, Siargao now in Makati City, we got a house there who got damaged too.
Thinking about you all and so happy for an update. Story is so observant @15.38 noticing all the houses are wooden that have collapsed. I have followed you since you first moved to Siargao. Happy to be a patreon to your channel.
It really is a happy new year. You had your windows installed, had a water tank, and a glove shower which is truly innovative. I guess it's a memorable new year though quite difficult as you say. Recovery may have been a lot faster if the people started fixing things rather than moving out. We don't run from problems, we face them. You are a role model to the community. Story is so cute with that toy monkey she is holding. Seeing all of you smiling is truly heartwarming. Happy new year to your family and to all your subscribers. May this new year bring good cheers to everyone!
I'm happy to see you all smiling ❤🙏 we knew you're still all in recovery period ,you are not alone guys your safety is the priority ⛑ are you all vaccinated?
It is awful but pleased to hear that there seem to be no worry about the covid Omicron and other ill health issues. You guys soldiering on is an inspiration. Humbling to many of us Filipinos. Your presence here in social media has surely helped, slow though the aids, support and solutions are coming. Thank you.
living in luzon we often experience typhoon i suggest upgrade it to stronger window glass and put somekind of shutters or metal roll-ups when there's a storm or typhoon it will be well protected or strong wood to cover your glass windows
See guys, it looks like it's getting better everyday. Just hang there. Jay just a reminder, make sure your vehicle is working condition and of course gasoline. Its looks like Poppy is happy 😊 too.
Your inner strength and the love for the island is what is keeping you there. It’s home and I can understand the reason for staying. Keep it up and rebuild your beautiful home. You guys are amazing. Story and puppy are just a bundle of joy. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪
This are the type of people who really love Siargao, even i tough times they stayed, helping the community.
That’s how they earn a living, by living in Siargao.
@@Jesus-The-Everlasting-Father …your name is a good reflection in your comment 😳
@@Jae2jae-ke5zp They earn a living posting TH-cam blogs.
@@Jesus-The-Everlasting-Father They had over 2.6million views in one vlog. That’s $$$. Every storm they experience will get more clicks.
I would dearly love to join the discussion but I'm feeling lazy...
The rain has to do with the rehabilitation of the island. It happened to us here in cagayan when we were devastated by the typhoon lawin category 5. The rain helped in growing the trees and plants that are washed away and destructed. And also, you can catch waters from the rain.

Love this positivity.Very true.
its insane that since they typhoon Metro manila has been insanely windy everyday... only starting to stop the last few days.
When heard about Odette hitting Siargao, ur family was the first that came to my mind.
So glad, u're all right!
God bless you and all the people in Siargao 🙏❤️❤️
Hope you don't get disappointed & give up your dream of making Siargao your home.
I've been following your vlogs like a movie in real time😭😭. Always praying your family finally makes it despite of horrible natural disaster. Continue support your channel without skipping ads. God has its purpose of all your sufferings..💕💕💕

Hello Sir good eve
I can see you guys are going over the bump on the road smoothly now. I am glad and so grateful you decided not to leave Siargao. I dream of living there, and I live vicariously through your vlogs. Godspeed.
THREE hours spent uploading videos...I totally respect that. Here is hoping signal strength and volume can be fixed by 14th January.
You know what is crazy, just looking at your family brings me joy. A wonderful combination you are. Bless your adorable hearts.

You can overcome guys! Mark my words, when everything is set up, it will be more beautiful than before
Im hoping things get better for you guys and for the people living in the island...love from mindanao

There goes the quote if theres a typhoon coming: YOUR JUST A TYPHOON, WE ARE FILIPINOS
People of the world are resilient especially after a disaster natural or not.
It's a good thing your car is cooperating quite well.
If another big storms comes by (hopefully not), get a plywood to cover all the windows.
Yes, they should follow your advice😀
Plywood is very hard to find nowadays, besides very expensive. I would suggest utilize local materials like bamboo, coco lumber etc

Hi guys, praying for your safety. Just give the island 1-2 years. You'll see how things will get back to normal. Rebuild and leave those bad memories alone, what is important is that you are all safe.
More like 5-10 years. I don't think its wise to stay especially with a small child. That area will get hit with another storm.
@@Val2073
In my country(ph), you'll never know when you'll be hit by a storm. I guess this is where you separate the wheat from the chaff.
You will be ok don’t ever loose hope, everyone in the Philippines experienced catastrophy at least once in our life time. From California
Am happy for you guys you slowly recovering day by day. Praying and hoping everything there will be stabilized everybody will be bless with the relief aid of the LGU..Stay safe and strong everyone..God bless you all.

Hokkaido Japan, cover with snow, Colorado, fire, storm in Antalya... not even counting the volcanoes like in Las Palmas...Climate change. Philippines is the 3rd most natural disasters prone in the world.
ONE BIG FIGHT 8 MILES YOU CAN DO IT ....Happy to see Sash smile unlike before she's so emotional ....we Filipinos used to it ...dont worry guys Siargao will stand up and better....Take extra care everyone and God bless...from Manila ..Resiliency is key ....
Nature has its own way to recover.🌬
I think rain is one of its way to rehabilitate itself🌧🍂 Take care u guys!♡🙏♡ Much Love from Manila to ur family there in Siargao and all the Siargaonons.♡♡♡
Love how Story is always in a happy mood. Makes your recovery that much easier. 🤙
Good to see some progress and that life is slowly improving. Stay strong. Keeping your family in my prayers.
What's great with u guys is you don't just like our country but you love it..by embracing not only the beauty of the place..but also how you face the bad situation with a great positivity in mind and in ur hearts..truly you are living the Filipino spirit...God bless you.
It was really great to see you smiling again and recovering from the great storm. It gives hope to everyone this coming New Year. May God bless you always and looking forward to see you back to normal blooging.
And so this is your story and STORY is the best part of it👼🏼
It feels really great to see this wonderful British family.
Story is always a ray of sunshine. She exhudes positivity! 🌸❤️
I love your shower❤️It’s practical, innovative and cleverly done. I’m happy to see guy’s coping well to your current situation. It shall pass and I believe that any unfortunate/bad situation will end soon. Keep your faith, be patient and keep smiling. Hi! Story🥰Poppy is so cute. Stay safe 🙏❤️
Guys just hanging there, nice to hear the landlord came to visit the damage.
Happy to see a new video guys! Sometimes i replayed the old video's before typhoon Odette .takecare 8MFH...❤🇵🇭
Jay is just like an inventor. Smart guy. Nice one .
I realized ur getting strong to handle this kind of situation.. I'm happy ur all safe.. Hopefully other people too.. They can recover too..
So glad to hear you both laugh again. Story of course is delightful. Your emotional fortitude is truly admirable! Love the “glove shower”! So inventive!
May we all be filled with new hope as we enter our new year. I’m from Cebu City. If you ever find yourselves in Cebu, contact me.
AAA you guys are amazing ...despite the difficult things you are experiencing there like water,electricity,environment and weather you still have those smiles .I admire how you are coping with you life in Siargao ...by the way,why not use some tapes across your windows in case you are worried about wind that might break the glass ...8mWH we hope for a better tomorrow
God will guide & protect all of you, dont lose hope.. keep praying.... God bless you more🙏
The best thing for you to do is cover a tarp from the outside to cover the window and secure tightly to avoid the draft or water coming in. I’m from the Philippines living here in the UK now. But I grew up with that weather and my father used to do that.
Whenever i'm experiencing shortcomings and difficulties in life. I always told told myself, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". It's very true, and it gives me a new and brighter perspective in life, learning how to appreciate simple things. Carry on beautiful family. Your are doing the right thing for inspiring others.
Stay safe, Jay and Sacha and Story, we pray for your past recovery from storm and have a wonderful new year to all in Siargao, God bless you all.
You may be right that your wind block is now gone so it will seem wetter than normal. However, it is the surfing capital of the Philippines so wind is normal there. The window sealing will definitely help. The big big window couldn't have come any sooner... Thank God 🙏🏼
Your family has suffered such a traumatic experience, which will take time to recover.
You are in my prayers. I can't help but praise and be amazed by the resiliency of the Philippinos. It is likely reflective of their living a lifetime of typhoons. They continue to smile and support each other.
Based on your early videos regarding the typhoon, things are clearly getting better, albeit slowly. I commend you for efforts. It is amazing. You will get through this 🤗😊🙏🏼
A huge thanks for staying. Were praying for your Family and the whiole Siargao. Dont worry everything will go back to normal hopefully soon.
It will get better every day.... chin up guys you are amazing!!!!!! Keep on smiling.
So Glad to see you guys Recovering.
Stay Safe and Healthy.
God Bless.
wow… i love the glove shower.. its very nice.. praying all of you guys 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻esp. story♥️
It's a very different world without this century's finest amenities but some good points have been made about handling the 'population masses' vs where your at. Glad to hear that fresh foods and water supplies are picking up... is it possible for you to get your hands on a bigger generator? That might allow you guys more comfort while your regular power lines are rebuilt. They do make smaller floor models of air conditioning for around 300$ it might also be a good idea to order one soon as there are nation wide waiting lists for lots of everyday self sufficient items like this. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I admire your strong sense of positivity and resiliency!
stay strong and healthy 8miles fam,godbless!
Goodluck Jay Sacha and Story..happy to see you back on your feet after the storm..God wil help you..just trust him..Gbu..
i love your family, the cute little angel and the doggie") how i would like to meet u personally guys") take care, praying that ul recover and remain safe here in the philippines
you guys are amazing and you managed live in a place that were totally destroyed by super typhoon and almost everything is gone but still you guys have strong character or attitude that you can survived little by little. your family is like Boyscout you know what to do in times of disaster and create something for survival. God Bless to all of you and im amazed to the strong spirit and faith that you can do it. Someday Siargao will RISE AGAIN... take care
Praying for all of you in Siargao and the other areas that was devastated by Odette. Stay strong J, Sacha, Story and poppy
Bless you guys take care always I’m always watching. Your vlog I’m a British filipino here in 🇬🇧
It wont take long Jay, remember the pathway going to forest school of Story, how fast the greens grow, give it some time everything will go back to normal, even much beautiful you'll see, hang on in there our beautiful family, we're always here to support you, love you guys, Happy New Year.
Bitter cold here in Iowa, U.S. seems bad all over the world. Keep posting for us. Hope you get windows soon.
You hv become resilient, awesome! Stay safe, in time everything will get to normal. Sometimes in life you have to face some challenges to become strong. God bless you. I am from Pilar, Siargao now in Makati City, we got a house there who got damaged too.
That glove thing is so clever!
I think the rain is God’s way of providing water specially to those who cannot afford. God works in mysterious ways.
Thinking about you all and so happy for an update. Story is so observant @15.38 noticing all the houses are wooden that have collapsed. I have followed you since you first moved to Siargao. Happy to be a patreon to your channel.
God will look after you.. Just take care it's only kind of trial. Just have faith in him everything will be ok. We're so proud of you guys ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It really is a happy new year. You had your windows installed, had a water tank, and a glove shower which is truly innovative. I guess it's a memorable new year though quite difficult as you say.
Recovery may have been a lot faster if the people started fixing things rather than moving out. We don't run from problems, we face them. You are a role model to the community.
Story is so cute with that toy monkey she is holding. Seeing all of you smiling is truly heartwarming.
Happy new year to your family and to all your subscribers. May this new year bring good cheers to everyone!
Glad the windows are fixed, and water tank is replaced. And that shower contraption gets Story excited to shower 😍😊😍😊
I'm happy to see you all smiling ❤🙏 we knew you're still all in recovery period ,you are not alone guys your safety is the priority ⛑ are you all vaccinated?
It is awful but pleased to hear that there seem to be no worry about the covid Omicron and other ill health issues.
You guys soldiering on is an inspiration. Humbling to many of us Filipinos. Your presence here in social media has surely helped, slow though the aids, support and solutions are coming. Thank you.
living in luzon we often experience typhoon i suggest upgrade it to stronger window glass and put somekind of shutters or metal roll-ups when there's a storm or typhoon it will be well protected or strong wood to cover your glass windows
Don't worry guys, everything will be okay in Gods grace. God is good.. Take it from someone who is a Yolanda survivor in Tacloban City.
See guys, it looks like it's getting better everyday. Just hang there. Jay just a reminder, make sure your vehicle is working condition and of course gasoline. Its looks like Poppy is happy 😊 too.
Imagine you guys despite what happened choose to stay and help rebuild the community in the island
Good to see you have drinking water and things are slowly improving. Hang in their, 8MFH family ❤️
Your inner strength and the love for the island is what is keeping you there. It’s home and I can understand the reason for staying. Keep it up and rebuild your beautiful home. You guys are amazing. Story and puppy are just a bundle of joy. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪
