I must admit that I have grown to love Jollibee over the years. I think it has more to do with the association with good times than the quality or taste of the food. I'll take a yum with spaghetti combo any day. I love Andok's, Mang Inasal, Max's, Chik-boy, Bon Chon, Chowking, Greenwich, etc etc. There used to be tons of Shakey's pizza when I was a kid in the 80's in the US, but most of those are closed down in my neck of the woods now. I love going there too, but my wife totally hates it (and all pizza in general). I think there's still one in Wyoming that's not too far away. I doubt I'll see a Jollibee in Utah anytime soon, but you never know what the future holds. Happy eating everyone, whatever it is you like

I was there in dec and went to max's and chik-boy and chowking and the greenwich and shakeys pizza i enjoyed most everything i had . the tea in jollibee was extra sweet LOL but wasnt bad. i enjoyed the pizza also i thought it was good. Just my thoughts in those places while being there in manilla in dec.

thanks

If you wanna eat dried up chicken and other meat, go to Max's, Jollibee, and other Pinoy fastfood chains, then you'll find out what cardboard tastes like. My husband avoids fastfood like plague, but in his first Philippine visit in 2009, I insisted that he try local brands and eats. The only thing he'd order repeatedly was halu-halo.

I went to Max's and Jollibee back in December when i was there recently. I had the hamburger in Jollibee and chicken and other items in max's.

Sprint also has unlimited text to philippines in and out going. They also have calling plan .

Hello everyone i was wondering which is better when sending money to the philippines should you send in USA dollars or should you send in peso ?

I have heard several things but was told recently that its better to send in usa money and not peso as they are taking a cut off of it on the other end.

Thanks,

you can use sprint they offer unlimited intl incoming and outgoing text for 7.00 per month and also intl calling plan for 7.00 and the calls are 15cent per minute there are some a few cents a few cents cheaper but the free text is a good deal.

Hope that helps

Also regarding the T-MOBILE they are now offering the same deal on intl text also.

I married her for her broken English. It's just adorable. And how she irons my shirts, and how she always has a hot cooked meal for me, even when I come home drunk at 2am. And that she's like a little sports car, revving and ready for me to take her for a ride, even if she's been slaving over the hot stove all day. All the hype about these Filipinas is TRUE! She even thinks my rolls of fat and baldness make me look guapo. It was money well spent!

Well i really like all the comments , but do you really think you should have said money well spent ? Do you belive this is a investment or something ?

Thanks this opening question wasnt directed at any country , i was mainly talking about the philippines but i suppose the same issues applies to about anywhere.

I am not speaking with her anymore so maybe one of these days i will decide to go since i know some others that have been there .

Thanks

While ole Journey4life is laying in bed tonight beating off, The rest of us will be laying beside our beautiful and sexy loved ones

Kinda of a rude comment to make dont you think ?

I never spoke to anyone directly here sorry if i caused any problems here.

Darn guys i didnt mean to start a world war here for gods sake . I am not here to step on anyones feet and make rude comments.

I hear to many cases where somebody comes here and has problems due to money and other various reasons regarding money , so i know it works for some but what happens when the man gets older and the girl gets tired of being invloved ? i have read about that happening . So this is about the same as being married to someone from the usa in theory .

With the travel dangers and cultural differences seems to be a big risk to me.

Good luck

Good luck to everyone who finally gets here i think its a great thing if it works but its so many things that can happen i just dont see where its worth the risk in this world we live in. Good luck to everyone.

If one doesn't have the balls to try then it is good that you don't even try. VN woman are tough to saddle break but can be done with persistence and patience.

Well i wasnt trying to start and arguments here , i dont lack the balls at all for this type of relationship i just happen to think that everyone is different and they all act different.

I was invloved with a nice filipino girl but it didnt work out for reason related to money mainly so i learned maybe she wasnt a true blue person so as we all know there is a higer degree of risk in this type of love affair and its a risk at best ! some work and some dont.

I doubt i will try again guess always a maybe but at this time i doubt it .

Good luck !

This mail order bride thing is kind of what you hear when you met someone overseas and bring them here anyway , thats just from what i hear anyway.

I hear the mail order bride thing does exist between some countrys but any of these types of realationships is a big risk in my opinion. Good luck to the ones that give this a shot !

This is enough information to make me doubt this kind of realationship . must be hard being told what to do most of the time . Good luck !

Sorry to hear the news about your sad news ! These types of realationships is a risk as we know . Hope things work out for the best. Nothing wrong with being single .

Hello everyone i wondered if anyone had any knowledge of the dating sight filipina christian's ?

I thought it may be a fairly new sight so i just thought i would ask if anyone had any thoughts.

Thanks

Before I left the Philippines I made it pretty clear to my Mom that it would take some time for us to adjust here and I would lose several months waiting for my EAD, getting my SSN and finally finding a job. So far my Mom has been pretty great about that; there have been some family emergencies (my dad had to be hospitalized this year to have gall stones removed) but at no time has she ever made us feel that we have to send her or anyone in our family any money. We were pretty upfront that this was not what we will be about (cash cow).

I don't send money to the Philippines to support anyone; I send money to the Philippines to pay bills I had left behind and my mom helps me make sure they are paid on time. When I have a little extra I give it to her so she can play bingo. She is a retired school teacher and bingo is more of a privilege at this point (since my grandma kind of frowns upon her leaving the house).

My husband, before we were married, only sent me money twice. The first time was to help me pay for Pippo's tuition, and the second time was for our wedding (which I planned; it was not a lavish ceremony by any means...just an intimate gathering with 60 people, including us...and mind you, I paid for quite a number of significant things myself...including my husband's wedding band, which I had asked a family friend to customize for him). At one point, I sent him money to help him pay for his airfare. So what we have is mutual dependency on each other...it has never been one way.

There is no his money, her money...it's our money; that was a new concept for me...when I was married to Pippo's dad, he was terrible with money, so I had to save some for myself in case things got hairy.

Fast forward to the present, when I'm not sure about spending our money on something at the grocery store or at the mall, I always ask him. That has saved us so much grief. I never assume anything, even though we are married. Our 2nd year wedding anniversary is just around the corner...times are hard now, and so we are being extra careful with our money. (I'm still on the lookout for a better job...so far nothing...but on the flipside I am spending a lot of time taking care of our new baby )

Funny enough, we do not have a lot of money now (compared to when we were in the Philippines), but we are very happy.

Very good post . in fact some of the best words i have heard anyone say yet. You and your husband is a very lucky couple to have each other and understand that meaning less things arent really important in life. How i wish to find this kind of nice girl for me.

Good comments by everyone they all made good since but as we all know these types of relationships are somewhat risky to begin with . Wish evryone the best in the future.

Well, this has turned into a charming thread. So much for public "apolgy's". If the personal attacks do not stop this thread will be closed. Thank you.

Thanks !

Seems there has been way to much fun !

In sincerity now, I have to ask, as I'm very curious. You stated in a recent post that you have decided that you are not going to go ahead with your international LD relationship, for a number of reasons. Whatever anyone thinks of your reasons, they are yours and you are naturally perfectly entitled to them.

But I have to ask, why remain on a forum for people who ARE going through the immigration process in order to spend their lives with their loved ones? You sound very set in your belief that it's not the right journey for you; are you hoping that the trials, tribulations and joys will somehow convince you otherwise?

Yes sundrop i am planning to continue with my journey , seems i have much more to gain that what i have to loose so if i dont do this and give it a chance i will regret this forever and always wonder what if ! ! hope you agree ?

Hello everyone , I would first like to start by making a pubilc apology for some of the harsh comments i made recently.

During this time i happend to be questioned by another member also his name is HAPPYNDINLOVE maybe some of you know him by his name like i do now. I first would like to say about this member that he is a genuine guy and very helpful also over the past few days we have talked about a few things and i am proud to say that i can call him a friend now and i think he feels the same we both learned not to comment about things so quickly until we understand the situation of others. I fully enjoy this sight and i hope to make other friends in the future as i embrace my own journey in life !

Thanks again,

i have heard that same statement before pretty pricey booty call ! funny ! not really sure its all worth it
