Congrats Dennis!!! She'll be in KY soon! WOOHOO

hello people!

Pink: That's how I feel right now as well. I don't have any issues about being a housewife, it's just that I am so used to working. I am workaholic kaya ang hirap ng transition. On top of that I have been so used to a busy lifestyle juggling so many things at the same time and all of a sudden I have so much time - it's depressing. I don't feel a sense of satisfaction in my day, like I have not accomplished anything.

Missed you all. Eto lomolobo nako kakakain! lagi nalang kain! I am trying out new recipes coz my MIL is a great cook, she's teaching me new recipes.

CONGRATS!!!

Dennis: It's getting close. You will have her here soon! Good luck!

Hi Laura! I am in the eaxct same boat right now. I feel awful because I can't fully tell my husband about it and if I attempt to, I break down. I have an 8 year old daughter but it feels like all of a sudden I want us to have another one - SOON! It's crazy but I do want to be a mother again and would love to share that feeling with my husband. But right now, we do not even have enough financially...

Sucks... I truly understand.

Pinaywife and RonMay: Eto may time ako mag drop ng message asawa ko nasa shower. hehehe. Punta kami church in a bit. Ingat kayong lahat at God bless. Wag paaapi!!!

I do warn my friends - both the USC and the foreign SO. Fair is fair.

wow!!! congrats that's awesome news!

Hubby and I used to talk all the time everyday - be it chat, email, and phone. We worked for the same company too so that was a huge advantage. To all those who were successful - I SALUTE YOU!

This was a great thing for our relationship and a real blessing. I have the kind of personality who is visual-kinesthethic and I need a "touch all the time". I can't honestly imagine how it would have worked without the constant communication.

This is going to be exciting... Are we opening a can of worms again?

YAY CONGRATS!!! Happy dance time!!!

YAY CONGRATS!!! Happy dance time!!!

That's awesome philmae - you enjoy the journey!

What's everybody doing this weekend?

LOL... This thread is so quiet, it's deafening!

Knock knock! Anyone there?

Dogwood: I'm here around Shelbyville, in a little town called Bagdad, about 15minutes from Frankfort.

Pizzadude: Awww, thank you! CONGRATS to you too!

That's great Dave. It's all going to be fine. Just ask if you are not sure. We are all here to help each other. Just hang in there as the waiting is the most painful.

Walang work, di rin ako pregger... Nagiging whining thread na to ah! LOL add me sa FB people!

I know! For sure there are lots here... I don't know if they're all active in VJ though. I would love to go south, just need to convince hubby to drive me all the way there! LOL

Charlie,

I know what you mean and that does seem to cause some apprehensions on my end. I know it's risky and you really have to practice good judgement. Great that you are asking for input and that should not be taken the wrong way. That place where she is coming from is a rural area. They do have some exposure to city life but not that much which may be both good and bad. Morally speaking, they are conscious of reputation and come from a town where there will be no secrets - everybody knows everybody - which may be the reason why they want to "show off". They are very Catholic. I know this for sure as my mom graduated from a neighboring town where her university is at. You'll be just fine. But again, practice good judgement and do not hesitate to say no - in a nice way as they are sensitive too.

If aunts are 17-18 year olds, just shake their hands! LOL

Eto ako... BUM to the max- este unemployed di naman bum. Pero namen! Ang hirap ng trasition!! Nakakaloka yung nakatunganga lang ako walang magawa kundi maglinis ng bahay at mag isip kung ano kakainin sa susunod. In fairness, my daughter's now i the 3rd grade dito. Na accelerate siya from 1st grade sa Pinas. Oh, di ba - yun nalang pambawi ng pagkasira ng ulo ko dito... Added injury, nbobobo na ako!!! I need to go back to work. I need to fuel my brain...

At teka... FB? Add me!!! sandkammy at yahoo dot com!

BUMP!!!

Yes she is from URBIZTONDO PANGASINAN now I have read that you kiss the and and also that you just put the hand to your forehead which one is it? Also she said that she talk to her father on how much they will need for the party and he said $250.00 american is $10 a head is that about right? and do i do mano to the aunts and uncles only if they are older than me or all the time ? and do you only do it the first time you meet or always?

Kissing the hand is the exact same way you put their hand on your forehead. We just call it that so you are on the right track.

I think $250.00 is too much, but if you can afford it, then that shouldn't be a problem. And where she is from - gosh that's too much! But if they are talking $10/person, that probably mean,s they are hiring a caterer. That's just the way it is. Whne you marry a Filipina, the guy spends for everything from the engagement party to the wedding details, everything! I just wish they wouldn't bleed you to death, though.

I have nothing against your lady's family, but don't you think if you are spending for a party you have full control as to how much you are willing to spend?

The mano of the aunts and uncles will only be when they are older than you - yes.

Hope this helps. Good luck! With the economic recession, I sure hope you're not ripped off when you come back.
