    Arrow Mail-To-Order-Brides

    Just some queries:

    Are you still battling from this mentality?

    Or have you experienced people making some negative comments about your relationship with your hubby/wifey bf/gf?

    Are they just jealous or what?

    Or Envious because we have better relationships than ordinary Brit couples? Fil couples?

    Share us some of your experiences and views regarding this matter.

    Thank you...


    ANd Blessings!

    yeah! same here... but can't explain that to everybody that will ask can you? whahaaha...

    our love story was quite long... i can tell it again & again & again hehe... they might give up from asking hehehe...


    P.S.

    It is not just about Mail to Order Brides but also Pinays are tagged as:

    Domestic Helpers (yep, coz they like us for being hardworkers & knows how to clean properly hehehe)

    Nurses (coz we handle our patients with love & care & respect)

    My husband noticed that also every time we visits Philippines

    But im just like this, "mamatay kau s inggit"
    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

    [QUOTE=Jay&Zobel;99818] KAPE GATAS o! *coffee & milk

    Coffee and Milk daw, same here. But I do not care, inggit lang sila noh! Its funny, some wondered why Brits like morena, I just can not tell everyone, that not all Brits love morena it just happend that my hubby loves to traveled around and because I got Morena skin I easily got tanned. Sometimes its shiny tanned pa. . especially when we always watch cricket and football last summer.
    When we went to Ilocos Sur we went to the local market. I was dealing with the vendor as I was buying some souvenirs and my hubby walk around while waiting for me. He said, he feels like a celebrity as everyone looking at him and there are 2 young lady vendors even took out the comb and brush their hair and was calling him sir to try to get his attention. hehehehe Then all of sudden I come and the girls whispering to each other.
    I am so proud when I am walking around with hubby...yes like the other one say, mamatay sila sa inggit!

    I've only heard the "mail order bride" thing twice but by people who think they're being funny but are not. Otherwise I haven't noticed anything in the UK.

    I notice the western/Filipina couples in the Phils especially the very young girl with old guy or attractive girl with ugly bloke or (strangest one I saw this time), a Dutch father and son both with Filipinas who looked about the same age.

    My friend asked a Filipino guy what he thought of western guys going over there and taking their women and he replied that it made him sad.
    It seems that there are a lot of women to go around (so to speak) so us foreigners nicking a few shouldn't make too much difference.

    Strange that when my wife was young free and single, none of the local lads made a move on her. Are they gay or what???

    People judge i guess it's human nature,some people take time to know the real story some are just happy to assume.That's life.
    It bothers me before because i also experience that all eyes are on me but now I do not care anymore.
    True love waits.

    If you are a filipina wallking hand in hand with a foreigner...I don't think you can escape the stares...whispering girls (oooh i hate that lol) It bothered me a lot at first and it affected my confidence.

    But as time goes by...you do get used to it. I just hold him tighter and walk like i just won the grandprize hehehe

    I experienced this situation in our first year of our relationship, Yea they are just JEALOUS
    people... It's frustrating but just hold on, stand firm and be positive always... Ignore those negative thoughts from people you know.... But when the time we really met in PERSON those people change there thinking towards it... Well sorry for them this is REAL

    If you let them affect you they will drag you down.. So if I were you
    IGNORE those people.... Tell them MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
