Thank you so much for watching!

Mornings in the Philippines are special to us. Birds singing, beautiful colours in the trees, the fresh breeze.
Our host Ate Mila gave us this grated casava with sugar and coconut. This tropical dessert is made from cassava root vegetables. It's a perfect combination with coffee for breakfast.
Last night Ate Mila introduced Boria to her brother Bakadong. He makes furniture and doors in his small workshop. Bakadon asked Boria if he could do a wood carving for one of his clients.
He showed us a finished wood carving that was done by a local carver.
We were told that he refused to carve on the next door because he lives far away and it's inconvenient for him to get here from the other side of the island.
The pay isn't much, but we're still grateful that the Filipinos offered Boria a job. Before coming here, he knew it would be difficult for him to find a job that pays well. YouTube doesn't pay much either.
He is glad he got the chance to work with local material, show our local friends his creative skills and help Bakadong.
When we moved to the Philippines, he had to leave almost all of his tools in Russia.
To speed things up, Bakadon agreed to lend Boria his router. All we have to do is buy the right cutter. This one won't fit. It's for edging.
We tried to find cutters in Samal, but no luck. So we had to go to Davao City.
After the ferry, we boarded a multiqab and finally got to the right shop.
We found the right cutter, but it is not sold separately. We would have to pay 1200 pesos for this set of six cutters.
We walked around for a while and daydreamed about one day buying tools and materials for our own house.
On the way home, we saw a big ship with containers. Shipping to the Philippine islands is only possible by sea and by air. That's why imported goods are often expensive here.
The next morning, Boria went to the carpentry shop again.
This tropical wood is similar to walnut. It is also dense, tough and heavy.
Bacadong says the customer has worked abroad and is now building a house. He wants to depict his daughter next to a bear on this door. Like in this photo. It must have been taken in some museum.
He did the carving while Bacadon prepared the material for his new carpentry work.
It's so nice to have my husband back home. I cooked lunch in the traditional style on banana leaves. We have tottang talong or eggplant omelet, barbecued chicken, vegetable salad, fruits and, of course, rice.
Boria took his work home because there was no electricity in the workshop.
He had brought a boron machine with us from Russia. It turned out not to be in vain. Now it helps him out a lot.
Ate Mila and her nephew Paul are making sitsiritsit. It's a delicacy from the island of Mindanao. It's made from sun-dried and fried cassava and then drizzled with caramelized coconut cream. Ate Mila said that when she was a child, their family used to sell this snack. It was their livelihood.
Mom teaches me how to make egg and green onion piroshki. My husband told me that there are thousands of variations of pirozhki and other pastry recipes with fillings. They are either fried or baked. They can be savoury: with minced meat, mashed potatoes, mushrooms, or cabbage. Or sweet: with apple, apricot, cherry or cottage cheese.
A few days later Boria finished his work. He loved carving since he was a child and he is very happy to share his skills with Filipinos. He dreams to teach Filipino children the art. We think that it would be a great way to give back to the Philippines and Filipinos for being so kind to us.
In the evening we celebrated our new victory with some lovely grilled squid.

Darlene... all three of you have amazing talents... first, whoever among you edited your videos, the videos are so well edited in a docu-series kind of way... its very well done. Second, Boris is a very talented Russian man... he has a hand that creates amazing things... hands that moves so smooth and surgically precised that the finished product left all art details unleashed (the bear's hair are really precise). Third, your command of English language Darlene is so good... did you write the script for your videos? If so... you are a good creative writer as well... Fourth, Mama Katya, the way I see it, is a masterful cook of Russian cuisine. I can see through her hands while preparing the food ingredients. She seems to do this stuff all her life... and the food looks very delicious. Combine these talents and you will be rich in the Philippines in no time... you can do business with wood carvings, russian restaurants, english teaching, youtube content creator, EVERYTHING... plus you are in the right place (Davao City)... Boris must be smart and did his homework by choosing Davao and Samal Island as homebase... Good luck Darlene and Boris.... say hi to mama Katya... keep vlogging.

When I watched Boris renovate his grand grand parents house and turned it into a museum, I already knew he has that golden hand. I hope I can hire you someday, unfortunately I'm from Manila and distance between us isn't favorable. Borlene, you won't be hungry at all since many Borleneians are always behind you, from prayers to everything for one simple reason, you are full of hope, love, and faith.

Mahusay na gawa sa kahoy! Mahilig din ako dito, pero sculptural. Gumagawa din ako ng mga plauta at tinutugtog ito) Kapitbahay mo ako sa Isla ng Samal. Nakatira ako sa Kaputian.
Great wood work! I am also fond of this, but sculptural. I also make flutes and play them) I am your neighbor on Samal Island. I live in Kaputian.

Boris is gifted / talented ❤🙌 you are very lucky Darlene to have a husband who is so good and humble. He and his mom are so low profile and easily adjust to everything in Philippines, . Why not let Boris do some small carvings or anything that can showcase his talent to the people around you. God bless and stay safe .

Impressive work Boris!
Once you and Darlene are settled in and your work is more established, I may ask you to do some carving and sculpting work for me and my wife’s to be constructed chapel in Tubuk, Kalinga. We’re thinking about the “14 stations of the cross” and a very large “Jesus Crucifix” to be displayed in our community chapel. We’ll take care of all of yours, Darlene’s and your mother’s expenses and accommodations when that time comes, if you’re interested.
Thank You, Good Luck and Many Blessings to you and your family.

Boris is so so artistic! Thanks to that Pinoy who trusted him enough to give him a job. Boris won’t get bored if he can work permanently doing carving for the people.

Your husband is super talented. One day you both can operate a business in wood carvings. Meantime, he can focus on start-up employment with the locals to earn and expose his wood art to the Philippines. He is a pro-artist as shown to his craft. He will be blessed more by the time his works are seen by others. Keep going, someday his efforts will be rewarded.
