So sad

[simplelife]

I've been here in UK for a month now, went to many malls and saw a lot of Filipino's they are snobbish. Tried to talk to some but they are not warm or friendly. Tis sad. was expecting them to be nice or friendly coz I am in a way one of them but not having that here. sad

Hello Fullhope, Sorry to hear about your experience. I did have same experience before.
At first, I was upset, I had the impression that they are not friendly, eventually I met some and until I have met almost all Filipinos in our village.

You will meet different people, some are true some are not, some are showy some are humble and pure. I always have reservation because I had bad experience before, some people are just friendly because they know they can get something from you ( not all!), especially if they know you have a Brit partner or hubby . Once they thought you are close friend they begin borrowing things from you, from small amount of money to sort of big loans.

Some took advantage of my free time, asked me to babysit, pick -up their children from school, ask my partner for a lift, borrow carpet cleaner, borrow magicsing karaoke and etc. Some even asked me to bring some stuff from the Philippines as most of them hardly go back to the Phils. Most of the time I lost 5 kilos of my free baggage because I have to use it to bring their stuffs for their relatives in the Phils.
But onetime when I said NO to her when she ask me to lend her 3000 pounds to be able her husband to buy a second hand car, thats started I become a monster to them. Until I get fed up and decided to just stay home and stop going to any Filipino gatherings, until I met another Filipina who also have a British husband. I thought we will be good friends as we are same Fil-Brit couples. So far we are all happy.
So do not worry you will meet a nice and true friend oneday. Just ignore those snubbish.
Good Luck!
