Hello another newbe with direction LOL
« on: April 02, 2011, 11:04:26 PM »
Hello everybody I thought I could just browse the forums and learn. But i find my self mesmerized with every post about the Phila. I have found my lady and I love her to death, she is from one of the smaller islands and lives outside Bacolod City. We meet on a pay site several months ago. I was only on that site long enough to find a lady a lady that meet my values and needs. I did however weed through some 332 responses that meet my very small search. I started with about 30 of those ladies and narrowed it to 10 then to five and so on. I was perfectly honest to the ladies about what I was doing and why, also about each other. So now there is only one "Via". We chat every day two times a day. I have talked to her and her family now for months. I try to plan everything I can about meeting her. I am afraid I will not do something right are proper. So that brings me to this!!!! Any help are knowledge will be so much appreciated. I promise to read every post comment are opinion some of you veterans have. And by the way what a cool site. I wished I would have found it sooner..............dewey4350

Hey dewey,

I strongly recommend the book Culture Shock Philippines! by Roces. You can find it on amazon.com.

Hello Deey  I second the "Culture Shock" book recommendation.  It's a good primer for avoiding any common faux pas when abroad.

Hi Dewey!

I also recommend Culture Shock Philippines as your guide. However, when I was looking for my own wife among the long list of Philippine brides, it helped me a lot that I asked for their values. So, when I finally meet her, I had an idea of what would offend her and as well as her family. I hope that everything will also work for you and Via. ;)

martinadams, you said that you was looking for a wife but you list your gender as female.
If we were all forced to wear a warning label, what would yours say?
