    When you meet in person its like meeting all over again. When i meet my husband, then my boyfriend first time in person it was really strange. We chatted for more than 1 yr, before we met. I know many things about him but the guy in front of me was like stranger, so i cant imagine myself marrying him on his first visit.

    I got rather confused explanations regarding price discrepancies but she promised to send a scan and I believe her..... she is also OK about not hurrying into a marriage. Aahh, women!!

    I got the scan with the letterhead of Dr. karen Alabado and in fact it is a series of sessions of "photorejuvenation", Ps. 9.000 per session plus medicine and my gf got a discount on that... sounds pretty expensive of course but apparently it is more sophisticated than mere diamond peeling. Anyway now that I have the scan I just need to shut my big mouth and expect to find her pretty and young in September....

    Sounds like Standard Price or (Deluxe Version) Kano Price.

    I could knock one of those in 5/10 minutes (and I am not as a computer literate as I pass myself to be), scan it and send it on.....

    Diamond peel is nowhere near to that cost, even with facials and wart removal treatment
    and including ointments, solutions and all the other maintenance products that go along with it......
    I can tell, because i've been having one before, in my single days, before i even met my husband now....
    And i'm having it done in a well known dermatology clinic in manila as i'm based there,
    and it's a fact that the prices in manila (the city) is way way higher than the provinces, so 58k is quite high for that facial treatment......

    But i'm not saying she is trying to fool you, maybe she spent the rest of the money for other important stuff as well as for her family.....
    Give her the benefit of the doubt.....anyway, you're due to meet her soon,
    so i guess that's the perfect time to clear things out and plan for the days ahead....
    Make sure though, that you do that before you marry her, lol....

    Well, if she got scanned receipts from the doctor to back up the costs, then it's settled then
    Just have fun on your visit there next month and enjoy your time with your pretty and now flawless-faced gf

    A great post. The first day/holiday is very strange as this total stranger who you know very intimately is with you and yet you don't know them.
    Some things see very familiar and as expected other facets of the person for some reason seem new and unfamiliar.

    Do go with an open mind you don't really know one another yet this meeting is so important and crucial as you can imagine it will decide and define the whole relationship.
    Try and keep your eyes open and do make sure you do get some private time to talk (very very hard in Phill) in depth with eye contact.

    My Wife spent a fortune well by hers and her familys standards on beauty treatment before i first went and each time thereafter but then from what she tells me about the huge sums women spend in UK stores on beauty treatment,clothes and what have you for far more mundane reasons than meeting your potential husband for the first time.

    May i wish you both a pleasant time together
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

    See? it's give and take, lol, in some way, you get something back from your money, lol
    i'm sure you don't mind spending for her to be beautiful and sexy for you, not to mention her flaunting a sexy black lingerie for you
    careful though that she doesn't get so used to it - you spending so much for her beauty stuff.....
    it may become a habit later on, lol, and it would cost you, lol

    Old is gold



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    I agree
    There once was a girl that believed in mankind, that there was still honor and chivalry that existed in everyone of us. She also believed that everyone deserves a chance to prove oneself individually and hoped that the courtesy would be returned. That girl is dead now, and all that is left is her shadow. To give one a chance to prove thyself is a chance for you to become dwindled in the dissappointment.

    Indeed she is really pretty and look really young for her age
    and that only shows that she is taking care of herself well, which is is good.....i'm sure you are so excited to see her already

    Sorry, trying to get my head around the situation, she gave you a receipt for the exact amount of money you sent her, but she also bought lingerie with some of the money that was meant to be exclusively for the procedure? Excuse me if I'm being a little slow with that one?

    I've just noticed in another thread you gave this lady another 40,000PHP ontop of the 60,000? So thats £1200 to someone you've never met? Wow, I hate to say this mate but rather you than me. If you can afford all that then fair play to you, but in my humble opinion there's something very fishy going, and it makes me quite sad, whether she loves you or not that's a LOT of money

    my thoughts exactly i might be a bit cynical but for me it's quite strange

    yesh it is quite sad and i hope the lady is genuine and truly inlove...it's entirely up to Pacific and i guess he's a better judge of her character than any of us here..sometimes we stop being rational when we're inlove...some people have that nature to give everything they got when they are in love.. hmnn, LOVE

    Pacific, i wish u all the best! i hope u're feeling more confident now
    (no more doubts...whether u're being fooled or not )
    Goodluck and enjoy ur trip!

    I've been following this thread and my concerns like a few other posters have stated. Personally, from my perspective, I see red flags and hear alarms. I hope everything works out fine for you.
