Pinay in the UK

Time to be serious. This is especially for those Filipina's who have been here around a year or less. How have you found the UK, what is it like, do you miss home, have you made a mistake? Etc.....

[Mrs Daddy]

In my experience Boss first few months I did but that was then I feel at home now and more settled than ever. and I dont miss PI that much now

[Northerner]

Hhhmmmm. This is a thread I'd like to see grow!

I would also like to ask, did any Pinay find support amongst other Pinays?

What helped the "settling in" process?

never rely on other pinays for support

[bornatbirth]

I have never met any pinay in our area not till I was about a year and a half in our area when I enrolled at college but thats about it.IMHO its better to live in a place which is a pinay area free not to offend anybody but its hard to find a true and honest pinay here not unless you knew them already back home.

never rely on other pinays for support

why do you think that?

do you ever think theres a reason you cant make friends with other pinays close to you,i cant believe other pinays cant be trusted but seeing how some of you cant get on in this forum.....im wondering what is the reasons..

i am glad you said that mrs daddy because i know many think like that but are afraid to say so

[Northerner]

Yeah, I actually thought that there was a small but active Filipino community around. No wonder Cebu Cafe in Manchester closed down..

Will always miss Pinas and will retire in Pinas someday.
But then I'm flexible, as long as I can work and save and visit Pinas that will be OK!

Happy having lovely and real supportive in-laws. They're always there They understands how I wish to go home too and support me if I want to go home.

UK is lovely, breath taking country side I must say!
Good government spoiling lazy citizens

On my first year I was shy to speak english. Worried because others may poorly judge my bad english lol. I have phobia in speaking english!
I was poorly judged by a filipina and a thai that time. I remember.
But I am proud now, I speak chinese if I can't speak english

I always helped Pinays, I don't expect anything in return. Some Pinay here are really mean. Their feet are always above the ground.
But met nice members too.

Too hard to find true friends overseas.
I will always cherish my old friends!
Childhood friends, classmates, and some I've got from Taiwan. They are like old wine
They knew me a lot, almost everything, and they still LOVE me.

I dumped pinay friends if they are so mean. You're right Wheelah!

In my situation Ive been here in the UK for nearly two years now, in my first few months I really missed home but it helps that my husband make sure that I talked to my family almost everyday. Just got lucky I found job here right away which helps me settle and adjust easily and the people in here are so laid back, nice and very friendly..

On my first few months here it was sooo hard, i used to cry everyday. I dont know anyone aside from philip's family and 1 pinay friend, different surroundings, different kind of foods,and i missed my mother so bad. It didnt help that i was stuck at home (not allowed to work on fiancee visa). cant go out on my own because i'm not comfortable talking to people as my english was'nt that good and i dont undesrtand scottish accent.

Things changed when i start working, i got to know people, talking to them helped me with my english and understanding the accent. I gained confidence, i made some friends, i got money to buy foods and make fone calls to pinas more often. (philip gave me money when i was'nt working but it doesnt feel nice to keep asking him as he also needs to support me with other things)

No matter how much i struggle on my first few months here i still dont think i made a mistake. I was shocked with the kind of life waiting for me here in UK, but even if i knew beforehand what it was like i would still have came.

The descision to come here lead me to my happiness.
