We are in Northern California too. Sacramento. My hubby calls me Inday too .

We're in Sacramento too!

On a side note I wish people would speak English more on here. I remember back when I was still preparing her for the interview and stuff I would read some topics that i thought would be helpful but everyone was speaking Tagalog. Its not just Filipinos that read this stuff.

I've complained about this too, but they always trivialize it in their response to my complaint. I'd make the site so that if a certain percentage of words didn't make it passed the spell checker, it wouldn't post.

I consider it rude to write in Tagalog on a website about immigrating to the United States of America.

I also consider it rude to speak in Tagalog when English only speakers are around, but they do this too. And they have excuses for this as well, but those excuses do not help me or allow me to join in the conversation.

when they speak in their own langauge, I guess they forget they have a spouse on this site too !! we are suppose to help them adjust to their new life here, and understand that they may be homesick. and help them through it. but we are constantly disrespected as spouses by being left out of the conversation. some people don't want help adjusting, they just want to whine and seek attention. How would they feel if we took them to a party or family gathering and left them alone to socialize and fend for themself. I guess the only way they will learn is when someone does it to them. this statement is only directed at the people who are rude and act like this.

I see your timeline and it says your Filipina wife is not here yet. When she gets here, I am sure you will truly understand how it is for her to be away from her family that she grew up with especially if it is her first time to be away from them. If you dont understand why Filipinas will be "homesick" for a long period of time then you will never understand our culture and how close we are to our families growing up.

Most of my friends here who arrived earlier than me are still homesick because when they got here, after getting married and the honeymoon, they are left by themselves in the house while the husbands work, THE WHOLE DAY. And while they are waiting for EAD and AOS, they don't have anybody to turn to but fellow Filipinas who are in the same situation. Most of them spend time cleaning the house, chatting with friends, posting here in tagalog to friends and mind you, these are all non-immigrant issues, just ordinary talking among friends. If you deprive them of these "treat" while they await for their husbands to arrive from work, isn't that cruel? We are trying to survive in a world very different from ours and the most a husband can do is be supportive. Put yourself in our shoes and maybe you will understand better.

To add, when you started seeking out a non-USC to be your lifetime partner you should have known that you will be taking her out of her country , away from her family and friends, leave work and start all over again so expect that there will be homesickness and the adjustment process will be difiicult for most of us.Each individual is unique and different in how dealing with things. If one Filipina adjusted fairly well after arriving here don't expect all Filipinas to be the same.If you want to understand the conversation going on in tagalog all you have to do is ask your wife what it means. . . not a hard thing to do huh?

And to my fellow Filipinas, if you feel like talking in Tagalog in the Philippine forum, then do so. Sometimes people just don't understand how we miss the language. After all, this is America, and FREEDOM OF SPEECH is very highly regarded.

Mabuhay po tayo!

Hahahaha, very well said. Mirisi jud. Hahahaha, Aja filipina.

Hi RonnieKris,

I am one of the first who saw your post here.. I was kinda interested why you said you wanna go back home... But then honestly, kinda disappointed that you started using your own dialect. I have nothing against your own, but I was hoping atleast tagalog or english since you started using english words that catched a lot of attention....so you could share with us also who know tagalog/english language why you wanna go back home. I've read your previous post, about your POE/arrival there, eating in a mexican food. I had fun reading it...Imagining myself in your shoes...

We want to learn from you. Still I'm hoping to get answers to your post here... You said, you are coming home... Or is it just an expression of your boredom?

Soon, I know I would feel that boredom but my fiance assured me he will always be with me and he has a lot to share with me...esp new things living there...Still I doubt i wont feel it... it's normal...

I hope you understand my concern on using your own dialect...

Peace

Im confident that my husband wont get disconnected from me if I continue speaking to my friends in our language even if he is there because he is the one who encourages me. He knows Im happy when I talk to my friends in our dialect and he is happy Im happy. He understands. I don't talk to my friends everyday. I don't see them everyday so 90% I am talking English and if I spend 10% of my time talking in tagalog, I believe it is fair. He has not once complained to me about that and I respect him more. He knows, its fun talk and he trusts me that I dont talk behind his back. He knows that if I have a complain about him, I will tell him first.

When USC husbands and fiances go to the Philippines to visit we don't tell them ,hey learn our language because you are in the Philippines and majority of the people around you speak tagalog and not English, instead our families and everybodyelse speak english, even broken english, for their sake.

My husband is slowly learning my language not because he feels an outcast but because he wants to talk to me in my language . He likes the sound and I love listening to him pronounce it. It is cute. Marriage is meeting halfway and my husband doing this makes me love him more and more because he understands.

We usually have gatherings with other VJ couples and it is always with the husbands.Usually the first phase would be the men talking to each other while the women update each other by talking in our language . When everyone is in one table or area we do speak english for our men to understand and of course to join in the conversation. We are not stupid to continue speaking in our language when everyone is there. It works for us. I have a circle of filipina friends whose husbands don't mind us talking in our dialect

Anyway, I am tired of explaining myself why we can't help talking in our language. I will end here but thanks to this thread and the numerous "rants" because it made me realize how lucky I am to be married to someone who really understands my needs.

Godbless and peace eveyone.

I salute you for that, keep it up...you are truly Pinay...so lucky to have a very understanding hubby....good luck to both of you!

its absolutely crazy , not to mention unapretiative to finally arrive here, and then want to turn around and go back home in such a short time. Are people really that spoiled that they can't grow up and deal with the decision they made to start over in a new country. with their SO. Its getting old hearing people hiding behind the same old excuse of being homesick. yea I know its real and it exist. but like everything, it fades with time. I read about people that want to go home only a few months after they arrive or visit several times a year, back in their homeland. How on earth do you plan for a good future with your spouse. if you have no respect for money. or does everyone have an extra 5 or 10 thousand a year just to go home and see mommy. what about saving for your future or kids college.

VERY WELL SAID yehheeyy!!! thanks gurls!!! :dance:

Lipay ko sa imong say gurly!

Sa pinas pa, sige ug ampo to speed up the visa process then pag naa na sa US puro mga WHINnERSSSSS !! geeee people grow up pleaseeee!

Very well said Jom

My husband is learning both Tagalog and Cebuano. My children and I teach him new words every day. Whenever we can't help talking in our dialect, one of us would translate it for him. He likes it rather than hating it when we talk either in Tagalog or Cebuano because it will be helpful for him to learn now and make use of it when we retire in Davao 10 years from now. He wants the kids to retain their native languages.

Different people have different coping mechanisms and different defense mechanisms. I cannot judge others if the homesickness is too much to bear. I had been there. It's better for them to let it out in this forum than to wallow in misery alone.

Mabuhay!!!

i dont think missing home is whining...

[Tahoma 2,291]

I dont think that the ladies here are whining. Most of them are still on their adjustment period considering the big change that happens when they move to the U.S., and one thing that can help them cope with their boredom and homesickness is through interaction with the people who have the same experiences that they have.

Me and my fiance had a great time discussing what you post here. I tried my best to translate everything to him so he will understand it. I dont speak Bisaya but I can understand some Bisayan words because of the similarity to some Ilonggo words. He thinks that speaking in your local dialect is a good way of expressing yourself and I agree with him.

He always encourage me to post in Tagalog but I told him that sometimes, I have difficulty posting in complete Tagalog sentence for the reason that we seldom speak Tagalog here in my city. I enjoyed reading Bisaya...I am learning little by little. Maybe, someday I will be fluent on it too. haha.

Anyway, dont get discouraged by others telling you not to post in your local dialect. They can always ask their partner to translate it for them.
