Hiya!

[wytdoll]

Hi everyone! In Aberdeen, Scotland for a month now and would want to meet pinoy who live here to be my friend. Life in a foreign land is a bit difficult for me but with the help of my Bf and his family adjustment period is not that bad.

:Hellooo::Wave: welcome to the forum

[scott&ligaya]

hi there and welcome to the friendly forum., I am originally from Inverness but went to Robert Gordons school then Uni in Aberdeen. I hope yopu are coping with our fresh summer air there hehehehe, has your b/f taken you to Balmedie beach yet, I used to live right by it and went running there daily.
I am used to driving through Pampanga/Tarlac/Luisita/Carmen as my wife is from San Nicolas (near to Urdaneta City. used to have starbucks in Luisita.

I miss Aberdeen a lot and when we visited my wife loved the sea front and the old univerity buildings as well as shopping on Union Street. I do not know any other Pinoys/pinays there but start with the catholic churhes lol.

hope you can understand the strong accent and that you settle in well

ingat

Scott

[wytdoll]

Thanks Scott!

Yeah my bf and I go to Balmedie beach for a walk as much we have time. We just had our ice cream and candies there yesterday although the weather is not so good we still went for a walk and spotted a dolphins around.

Thanks for the info. Not really having problems with the accent. LOL
We are actually living near a catholic church here in bridge of don..

[scott&ligaya]

Bridge of Don!!! I used to uSe a pub there, now what was the name . grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr cannot remember LOL . My broither is now in Ellon and we used to go to a beach near there where the seals sun themselves on the sandbars and dolphins wait out in the bay to try to catch the smaller ones. Took my honey there and she loved it.. must get the name from my brother. In couple of months form now ask your b/f to take you up to Ballater and walk up to Loch Nagar and then Braemar, in between is Crathie village where the Queen goes to church when she is at Balmoral castle.

Enjoy Aberdeen and the area before winter (brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr))

Hi there, and a warm welcome to the forum. :Hellooo:

[worthingmale]

hello and welcome :)

[wytdoll]

Thanks for welcoming me in this forum..

Hello Wytdoll! Welcome to scotland. I am at stirling.:D

[Arthur Little]

Hello Wytdoll! Welcome to scotland. I am at stirling.:D

Richelle ... just a thought! :) It might be an :idea: if you were to send a 'friendship request' to Wytdoll. There's a direct *train service that runs approximately once every hour daily, from Glasgow to Aberdeen ... calling at Stirling en route - the *best in Scotland in my opinion! This would have the benefit of enabling the pair of you to meet up in a choice of main cities/towns, e.g., the likes of Dundee or Perth. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

See my suggestion in #15 ... correspondingly, you might like to "extend the hand of friendship" to Richelle! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Arthur Little]

thanks how can i send you private message???

You can't unfortunately. :NoNo: And neither can Richelle. Not yet! Private Messages are restricted to members who qualify for "Respected" Status - achieved through having been on the forum for some time and accrued at least 75 posts + 150 of what are called "reputation" points. Obviously, the longer you've been here ... and the more you post ... the greater the opportunity to earn points and become a 'Respected Member' ... especially where other members find the content useful. :)

But you can exchange 'Visitors' Messages' on one another's profile pages. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

sorry for intruding the thread :) but how do we able to look how much reputation we get aside from the notification being send to us in inbox :)..is it in profile that we can just click and count how much we have for a reputation?? :Wave::rolleyes:

[Arthur Little]

*sorry for intruding the thread :) but how do we able to look how much reputation we get aside from the notification being send to us in inbox :)..is it in profile that we can just click and count how much we have for a reputation?? :Wave::rolleyes:

*That's OK. Well ... alongside a member's avatar has [/B] one] in the top left-hand corner of each of their posts - and underneath his/her 'User Name' - you'll see one or more green blobs. You already have three of those.

In the early stages, these blobs generally - though not always - increase each time one member awards another, what's referred to as "reputation" ... depending on the number of points a post attracts by virtue of its content. Later on ... once a member has attained 5 [I] dark green blobs ... further reputation accrued will show-up in a new 1 to 5 series, designated by a lighter green shade.

And so on ... culminating in a similarly-numbered series of yellow (ish) coloured symbols.

As you know, whenever you receive a reputation comment, it will appear under 'Notifications' ... top right of the page on the navy background. Click 'Settings' to view the respective comment and the number of points you've accumulated. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

:sorry-2: I cannot answer this question :NoNo: ... as the criteria for determining the rep points is calculated automatically by machine - which ONLY the Forum Administrator has access to - and hence it is a function that NO ONE else here has any control over. :anerikke:


btw though i know am on probation though :) huhum lolz..

:) You're doing fine ... there are many of us here who enjoy your humourous posts ... just keep up the good work and avoid offending anyone. That's the easiest way to prevent any misunderstandings, earn respect and, in turn, build up a truly positive reputation. Believe me ... as a friend, I really do have your best interests at heart. Honestly! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Brrr LOL. I just spent 5 years living and working in Aberdeen in both Dyce and Westhill. I was last there in January 2011 after a particularly hard winter. Before heading back down south.

My wife want's to see some snow so I know where to take her! Prior to that I spent many years passing through Aberdeen on the way to various offshore oil installations.

So I know it well.

Also, my ex wife is from Perth, btw

:cwm24: ... wow ... small world ... your ex-wife being from Perth (maybe I even know her!) and my daughter & son-in-law living in the Aberdeenshire village of New Deer. :)

Yes, my ex wife is a Thomson, she left there many years ago when she was young. Her dad was a scrap merchant up there evidently many years ago. She gravitated towards Dundee and then settled with me in Manchester.

My ex gf is from Fraserburgh and she lives in Aberdeen these days.

My ex wife always talked longingly of playing in the Tay in Perth when she was a kid......

Anyway, enough of the ex's. Heres to the future.....
