^Depends totally whether I am speaking to my wife, or someone else.
Davis, seeing as you're married to a filipina and so is the OP, what do they mean when they say you're strict? i know what it means in English, but it was how i was brought up. better to be well behaved than be a slot. Most of us are like that compared to gangs in Britain during last summers riots.
I'm sure the filipino equivalent is different but not sure.
^Not quite sure; not a word my wife ever uses, or one I often hear. I would presume it meant tough, rigid, unbending - like when you give them some money, and they then push for more, and you refuse. They have some strange word usage; healthy = fat, but without giving offense. Humble simply means not a big head - basically a good guy. Etc, etc.
Example is this. She told me the other month she had her breakfast then brushed her teeth 1 hour later, not brushing her teeth when she wakes like others do.
Its her 1st time for her to be around foreigners and so too for her family. I guess this is why they look at me as odd. Sadly when i come to see her this year, she told me she cant come to palawan with me as its far from her family in Cebu.
Sorry, i aint taking the whole family with me. bugger that.
^It's an unfortunate reality that many Filipinas can't let go of this family ties bullshit - just like many Thai females. You have to make some hard and fast rules - this is what you are willing to do, this is what you're not. And stick to them. I am very lucky. My wife is the youngest of nine, thus always got the shortest end of the stick. She has no love for most of her immediate family. In 22 years, I've picked up a few relatively minor medical bills for her Dad - that's it.
With 8 million filipinos working overseas, and even her thinking of earning money, she would be away fro mthe family and overseas is certainly alot further away than Palawan.
Or that she has never left home and is still considered a mummy's girl. Its the love thing then is it, that's keeping them together as a unit. I see western culture very different.
Maybe she'll think differently by the time she leaves home for work outside Phils. To me, a 1 week holiday in Palawan is better to enjoy than 2 years contract in Taiwan.
You know i had plans. You know to take her places thats she's never going to see again or not for a long time at least. I know she lives in the Mountain areas of Cebu, but there's 7000 island here. I had planned on palawan, a few volcano's like Taal, some guides i met in North Luzon [headhunter]. i vowed i would be back. I even thought of popping by to see your tomatoes growing, although i never asked permission to pop by, seems as its all been cancelled, i might as well say it now.

^That's very unfortunate. My wife has a number of nieces and nephews working in the Middle East and elsewhere. Economic necessity appears to make it acceptable for them to leave family - but only to earn and send money home to family. I'm sure you must be disappointed, but better to find out early in the game, I guess.
Excellent job. A nice collection of pics of some sexy lovely pinays.
Good photography, thanks! Photos like that are really appreciated on a chilly, California spring day.
real pic
What gorgeous beauties! Angeles City must be Heaven, because that is where the Angels live. But what do they do for a living? The only thing missing from these tasty little dishes is some tasy Thai dishes like gaeng see daeng, tom yam goong, pad thai and pad grapao. I think the filipino cuisine was destroyed by a century of american junk food. Am I right?
Some nice, some not nice, all look alike though.
Can't tell much by a picture. I've noticed many have funny bodies, kinda like the American Indian thingie, wide at the waist with a flat butt. My fave is the one in the plain whit T shirt with black shorts. Although the shorts look slutty she has the appearance of a sweet girl. I like them sweet ones. It's boring trying to corrupt someone precorrupted.
more piccies please..or how about a flippa undies thread..where are you DAVEARN??? road report?
