Our Life in the Philippines | Vlog  

Since I began viewing your blog I have seen how you’ve grown. You and RJ took everyone every step of the way.

Your Mom is a Master Gardener 💚👍🏼

Totally agree that the reason why older folks and not-so-old people find gardening appealing is that it's a slow hobby but ultimately a rewarding haha I myself,who is in their early 30s, have managed to see the appeal of garding that I have began to dabble a little on it although my style for gardening is more like landscaping a vivarium rather than making it look like the conventional garden with well trimmed plants and grass. Also,those loud bellowing frog calls that you heard whe it was raining were the calls of Banded Bullfrog males looking for a mate and their calls are so loud for such a small species and the calls sometimes keeps me awake during nights with heavy rains because they are so noisy haha. The calls of the Cane Toads sound more different since their call is described as a long trilling/clucking call that is more higher-pitched for such a large amphibian. And since the rainy season is the mosquito season, hopefully some insect-eating birds like swifts and swiftlets start showing up in your property.

Freshly picked home-grown vegetables: eggplant 🍆, kangkong, camote tops on beef sinigang (sour broth) is heavenly. Great job, mama! 💕💖💝 _

You can try planting citronella and basil to shoo them mosquitos away! Just a thought you might wanna cosider since you like plants.

Plant mosquito-repellant outdoor plants a part of your garden. No. 1: Citronella Grass. Citronella is a common ingredient in insect-repelling sprays and candles. ... No. 2: Lavender. ... No. 3: Marigolds. ... No. 4: Basil. ... No. 5: Rosemary. ... No. 6: Lemon Balm. ... No. 7: Catnip.

I can watch him everyday...such a humble guy and so down to earth despite of all his achievements...

Your Mom is very busy in your garden. Wow lots of seedlings too! Fresh grown organic vegetables and fruits are the best! You can buy packs of vegetable seeds i.e. Okra, spring onions, radish, bell peppers, kale, etc. they are easy to grow just spread them on your veg. box plant..you will be surprised how they grow! Gardening is a great hobby. Mom knows best!

Mikey, try to make the organuc mosquito repellant. Mix 3 tbsp. Coffee grounds, 3 Tbsp. Olive oil and 3 tbsp. Lemon juice. Mux and let it sit for 4 hrs. Strain in a fine cheese cloth or sieve. Put it in a jar. Then apply a small amount on your skin when you go to the garden or sitting outside in your backyard. It smell good. You can use it too as a mosquito repellant as a lamp. Just put 1/2 cup of Olive oil with the coffee grounds. Add 1 cup of water and put a wick like a candle. Light it in your patio. The mosquito hates the smell of coffee. Good luck.

I noticed the tomato plants are getting matured now and you need to plant a new ones before they die as a replacement so you won't run out of supply. Why not try to plant "roma and heirloom tomatoes"...they are the best!

I love that you are eating what you harvested at your farm. Your mom is wonderful and great to you and your partner. Have sumptous eating with fresh veg

One of the BEST VLOGGER

Fresh veggies! And Mommy’s cooking! Can’t beat that!😋😋😋😋

Hmmmn... you had a hypothetical thought about having to hire someone to make a baby for you (for your Ants Canada creation) but... 💡(Light bulb moment) ... When will you and RJ start a family? (No pressure, just a thought 💭!) Love you guys! Loving being part of your MABUHAY Squad (My source of Real Good Vibes on-line! ❤) 💕💖💝 _

Your mom is right with using green camote leaves which I prefer over kang Kong.

Awesome life you are living with your partner. I am so happy for you... Jealous perhaps nevertheless ecstatic the possibility of me heading back home one day. Been living here in the bay area for 45 years and just about to retire. My lady don't want to move and loved life here. I cannot afford the house you got but i if sell my house, i can probably get something close.

Banana is rich in potassium, it's good for your plants. I burried them a lot in my garden, here in CO.

Wow Kulas belated happy Independence Day very nice upload kulas thank you for your hard work I miss my country Philippines Kulas salamat sa mga vlog mo we feel better when we watching para naa kami sa Philippines you take care and always be safe we love you Kulas and god always bless you 🙏👍👌🥰🥰🥰⭐️⭐️⭐️

13:30 The "mooing" sounds from frogs is from the Asian painted frog. Sadly, it's also an invasive species (originally from mainland Southeast Asia). I've only started noticing their calls within the last 5 years.

Happy Freedom Day 🎉🎉🎉🇵🇭🇵🇭and may I say that beef sinigang looks so delicious 😋❤️ you’re so lucky that your Mom can cook Filipino dish. ❤️❤️❤️

Just came across your vlog and I'm hooked. Also ants Canada. Btw is Brittney still with you or did you rehome her 😢 Love your channel. Keep on caring for your precious animals. Shows that you are a good soul. More success in whatever you do z🙏🙏🙏💋

The fake flowers are called Foxgloves, native here in Europe.

2 days now and it still cold, especially here at night. Watching from Toronto

You have the ingredients in your garden for Sinigang! Tamarind and all!👍👍👍

Mikey, you can make adobong kangkong with lots of sweet bagoong...yyyyuuumm!!

Oh I love your place Mikey and RJ!!!

Purchase what you like and can afford don't go into debit for items are materialistic when we die they don't come with us

I'm going to need you to send "Mommy" to my house and help me with my garden and flower beds. I'm in East TX on a lake, so she will have a wonderful view with beautiful sunsets. Lol JK but you are so blessed to have you're mom around to do all of that gardening. She needs to teach you how to preserve and can.

Mickey what is your blood type? If it's type O it tends to attract more. Bites!

OMG!!!! BUY the Fendi sofa set and ORANGE rug! It would look amazing in your media room! Such a showpiece for all your visiting guests!!!!

Wow naman garden it is. Sells ako 😂Sana allay Garden. D2 sa Tanza Cavite 15ph isang eggplant na medium size tsk. Ang kangkong 10piso ang Okra 4pcs 5ph or 10 depende sa weather. Love to watch ur way of life in the Philippines

I was watching a gaming stream on twitch and the ants canada channel was mentioned, I was sure to tell them about your vlog channel too, you'll be a household name in no time 😅 Much love to you and your family Mikey ❤

Hi again,your mom is amazing person,love watching your video,🤗

Your mom busy at your small farm its good keep her busy

Mikey ...you can use tamarind leaves for sinigang.. healthy and organic ❤❤❤

Farm life is really the best. You are blessed to own one and grow your own veggies. 😃

It still feels weird to not hear you say that your our “daily dose of positive vibes online!” But I totally get that your lives have changed. And daily vlogs have to be so intensive. Focus on what you need to and we’ll be here when you do upload. Also, Ant Love Forever ♥️

I would spend a fortune in that shop!! You should be proud of your videos Mikey and we do appreciate how much effort goes into your channels, much love as always!!♥

Wow! may vlog kana po pala hehe dati pinapanood ko lang mga 1st parodies mo, and it helps me a lot that time lalo na at nag uundergo ako sa chemotheraphy session that time and sobrang wiling wili ako sa mga vids mo lalo na yung pinopost mo pa yung alaga mong black pig dati! nice to see you again, and makita kang successful!!! Deserve!!!

Mickey, I'm a 69 year old senior in Canada. After I retired in 2015, I transformed my front and back yard as a "Botanical Garden" (my Canadian neighbours named it)..Grubs invaded the whole lawn, so I don't have any choice. I loved gardening and I can stay there from 0600-2100 every day..I even dozed off in one of my resting chairs..

Mikey you are giving me ideas! I love this! Thank you! ❤❤❤

Mikey ...if I had a home like you guys, I wasn't or wouldn't wanna leave that paradise either lolz And you gotta love our mums and their 'fb' hacks lol

I enjoy watching your garden especially your garden beds of vegie. May i ask where you bought those aluminum beds? Enjoy ur garden.

Love to see the 2 chicks from incubated-eggs🥚 growing healthy and now with the adult hens! That's a feat... just remembering the earlier born chicks which perished while very young! Congratulations Mikey, fast learner. 🐣🐤🐥 _

I love watching your video Philippines blogs . I live in Melbourne Australia & I miss Philippines. I hope I meet you one day & if you will let me tour in your beautiful mansion house . I suggest you can put a gate on your pool for kids safety , to jump in the pool without adults supervision . In Australia everyone who has a pool in their backyard they law requires the owner to put a gate steel fence for kids safety . Your house looks amazing & very clean . ❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉God bless you .

I love u mikey ❤️❤️ eversince i saw ur balikbayan box parody etc and mikey tutorial i followed ur vlogs. From condo to farm 🏡 house. Bringing positivety and inspiration❤❤

A little late watching this one, Mikey I’ve been watching u since before 2018,and I don’t think I missed to many if any, so congrats 🇨🇦👏

I often bury old bananas and the peeling of bananas in my raised beds. Potassium (K) • Absorbed by plants in larger amounts than all mineral elements except nitrogen and, in some cases, calcium. • Helps plants build protein, aids photosynthesis, improves fruit quality, and reduces diseases. • Promotes flowering, fruiting, and ripening. • Helps regulate metabolic activities and improves plant vigor.

Your house so inspiring ❤

Your cheeks are back. Same cheeks you had during that “challenge” short video many years ago when you still live in Mandaluyong. ❤

Yeah, we are riceyvores! 😁 Your Instagram stories make up for the days there is no vlog. i know you've been working really hard on your vivarium. What you're doing is 🤯 Mommy Bustos busy at work in the garden and the kitchen. 😉

hi mikey , is it possible to send me photos of your flower/vegetable bed plants? i will try to copy what you have goin in your farm...im a huge fan... thanks, Hyd

Lemongrass is a natural mosquito repellent. I see you have them growing. You can plant them in pots around your area. I have pots with lemongrass, mint, rosemary, lavender. Multipurpose planters 😄

Mikey! Thank you for sharing the reason for fewer uploads… I was so, so worried that you and RJ were having trouble… then you mention an idea of adding a little one. I appreciate these Vlogs and to me any check-in is worth viewing, even if fewer vlogs. Thanks for inviting us into your lives ❤

How’s Britney and Rizal when it rains? Do they react like Cypher does?😕

Wow!! That's really my dream life. You are so lucky.❤My mom is from Tuguegarao City as well. 😊

Hello Mikey,RJ,mommy and all Mabuhay team. So amazing to see all the progress going on to your beautiful home. All the wonderful art works,the growing green vegetables that you already harvested and cooked.and the more pets that amazingly growing too. Wish we can experience also living such a wonderful place like your home. Thank you for all the updates whats going on and happening in your haven. More long hours of vlogs that are giving us good vibes..More power and God bless you guys always 🙏🙏❤️

Now that you growing your own vegetables will you be processing (canning) them? Personally I think it would be a great video series to see you and RJ learning a new skill while using what you grow. Just a thought.

@mikeybustosvlogs lately the camera or video quality wasn’t A plus quality.. medyo malabo po.. sorry from your demanding subscriber 😅😅😅

Your mom looks great. She looks strong and beautiful. She’s going to look younger and more beautiful the more she works in the garden. You should do a mommy make over just for her and only her.

I know you are not a big fan of caterpillars but butterflies in your aviary or even in Pantdora would look awesome :) Yeah, I guess the other residents and birds would just eat them all. Butterflies would still be nice if you can keep them alive though !

Sinigang is my comfort food but cabbage does not belong in that dish only for bulalo. You need to put radish, taro, spinach and maybe okra but not cabbage. Cabbage will make a different taste.

Long time fan but makes me so sad ur in any way affiliated to the Disney Club 33 😢 The whole world knows all about that place now.😔

The heart is in the details ❤ Take in every piece, live in every textile, embrace every shade ❤ This process with the one you love the most, i mean what an amazing thing to share.......i love that you're enjoying it all together ❤

Ethan Allen is a very old furniture company in the US. I remember seeing catalogs for it when I was a child, and the company is older than my mother. It was named after a soldier in the US revolutionary war who went on to help start the state of Vermont.

Our summer has been really weird for the past few weeks our summers have been cold like 50 or 60s and as usual rainy in Michigan

Mikey and RJ you created your own "paradise home"...such a beautiful and perfect place to stay!

Please show us how the Sugar Gliders are doing, unless I’ve missed them in a video, I apologise!

Love from Nagaland northeast india 💓

You are very lucky you have a mom. Mine I miss her badly. She is no longer with us. She love’s planting too. Warm hug to your mom.

You will really appreciate rain when you are living in the probinsiya where there’s a lot of trees and plants and you can hear the sounds of the insects👍👍

I love Mikey and Eric. Awesome and real life you have guys. ❤

Mikey and RJ, maybe it’s time to make your Mom a grandma! Find a suitable surrogate to carry your future child/children. I’ve seen a lot of same sex couples deliver their children at our hospital and I think you both will be great parents! And OMG, as soon as I wrote this comment, you said something like “would you hire someone to make a baby for you?!😮” you need to pass your talent to your future children plus, who will inherit all the fruits of your labor? Just sayin’🤗Make your Mom happy, I’m sure she’ll be ecstatic!💕

Sinigang is the first dish I learned to cook when I was 9 years old! So good😋😋😋😋

Finally, your indoor aviary is now with lush greenery. I recall how frustrated you were when every "expensive" plant you brought in were all affected by the parrots ... Nothing really grew for a long time. But I miss you interacting with the parrots more when they were in the indoor aviary. The parrots are thriving well in the outside aviary but I don't see much of your interactions with them. 🦜🦜🦜 _

Hi am a new subscriber from Down Under and am very interested to buy one of your garden beds pls where can I order pls

you have to put bird nest boxes in your parrot aviary since its rainy season now and the wind is strong heavy rans specially during typhoons, they have a shelter to hide and not stress

ask your mom to plant Citronellas to drive away mosquitos

MOSQUITOS LOVE O BLOOD TYPES! I'M O Rh-, WHAT IS YOUR BLOOD TYPE?

Where are your white chickens? Suga and honey? I dont see them anymore🥹

are the trees in the view from the pool inside your lot. if not buy that lot too or ull loose all that trees when someone build on that lot

I’m always getting bitten by mosquitoes, I hate them!

I wish I could eat your soup through the screen, it looks so yummy!

Mikey grow some Gandja…😂

its not a skinny kangkong but chinese kangkong

Love to see that your mom is enjoying the garden. Enjoy her company while she can travel to the Philippines!

did mommy bustos swam in the pool na?

Your mommy needs a grandchild… ☺️

Have you thought about putting a long branch at the top of the indoor aviary so the birds can sit on that?

What a beautiful. Garden so organic

Those white couches were gorgeous! Nice garden!

Why isnt your kangkong soaked in water.

may i also ask where arjay ordered the planters?

Wow remember the phase you went through when you wouldn't touch and eat a grain of rice, eat bread and were Anti-Carb? Health Fads!

love the veggies you have in your garden

The moan you give when you eat is naughty 😂

Nanay has a green thumb ❤ and also RJ ❤

your lifestyle is my aspiration!

I wish you all the success kind sir!

Sir where can we buy the planters?
