  1. That is one of the most wonderful news that I heard about a filipina. I'm sure there are other success stories behind all the hardships in this visa process. I am proud of all the accomplishments of your wife. She is a symbol of a true filipina who is hardworking and persevering. Another example of good accomplishments are some of the nurses coming from the Philippines doing odd jobs before getting their license here. God bless you and your wife. Good luck on all your future endeavor.

  2. I will speak for my son who was enrolled here in Rhode Island College. Transcript of Records, TOEFL (Teaching of English as a Foreign Language) which they require a passing mark of 80% (I don't know in other states), green card and SS number. He was 2nd year in BSN when he came here here last April and all his grades were evaluated by US equivalent. Sad to say the grades that he took was made as Electives here. The curriculum is very different here than in the Philippines. He is a Freshman here now instead of Junior already in our country. It's ok for me because I want him to know more about the Nursing Program here. He's taking BSN here also.

  3. Maybe you can do volunteer work in the church close to your place. You can fix and introduce little changes in the house, play farmtown or farmville or those zynga games lol. That's what I do if I am bored. We don't have TFC so I just watch news back home in youtube. Have a pet at home that you can train or cuddle, buy some cheap books that might interest you or start doing foreign recipes. I am not working but my husband told me that he didn't notice any boredom in me. I said it's just a matter of getting busy with something in the house. Good luck!

  4. I think 11 months is quite long for her to be adjusted. It may not be a complete adjustment yet but she should at least realized what she puts herself into. If you exhaust all the possible means to work on your relationship and she is still acting like that, in my opinion it isn't worth fighting for. It is emotionally and physically burdensome for you especially if you are the one trying to make the relationship work most of the time. Definitely she is not ready for a commitment, you should dig deeper what is the reason why she always threatens you or wants to go home. Maybe there is a REASON that you missed knowing from her.

    A typical filipina is true to her vows and not be swayed by any homesickness or anxiety. You should know your wife a little more. Good luck and God bless.

  5. Wow that was a good news to all Canadian applicants. Manitoba was very generous giving that amount of money. Filipinos should thank the Canadian embassy for that great news. At least there is a bit of a relief for those affected by "Ondoy".

  6. My name is Neth and my husband is Bob. We are married for 17 months and still like newlyweds. I was divorced and he is also divorced for 32 years before he met me. We are not that young anymore, I am 47 and he is 55. 8 years difference (not an issue). He has no kids and I have two by my previous marriage. He came from a very small family consisting of his mom and dad and a sister whom I didn't meet yet (she is in Washington State).

    Bob is a very organized man (sometimes he gets frustrated if he's looking for some papers and I can't find it asap), I am also a bit organized but not as him. I am the youngest among 9 children (no family planning in the Philippines that time). He is the older one and I guess the chemistry is perfect for a youngest and oldest as what other people say. He has an incredible patience. He doesn't have any experience dealing with kids and he was nervous before he met my son last April, now they are the best of friends. I have another son a 14 year old who is still in the Philippines who was held up at St. Luke's because of medical issues. I will be picking him up next month and that will be another adjustment for Bob.

    Bob plays trombone and he is a member of a three set of bands here in Rhode Island. He plays pool with my son and he is also a member of a pool league in the area. He is a computer geek. One thing that sometimes annoys me is that if he is doing a big job in the computer he doesn't want to be disturbed. But I understand. He is a bit conservative, a good provider and a very detailed person.

    Just like any other man, he easily gets tired shopping with me. He always wants to have a list of something to buy and gets annoyed if I do shopping randomly (I told him it's a woman's thing). He is a very considerate guy. He is God's gift to me and I will cherish and keep our relationship forever. My two kids love him so much and people can't believe how he handles his new life very well. From a single man for almost 32 years to having an instant family is an enormous task as people say but he handles it perfectly.

    One thing that he's not doing before is go to church every Sunday, now that he is married to me we attend the 8:30 mass every Sunday. Of course there is no perfect relationship but we can always aim even half of it (just my opinion).
