help please

[Arthur Little]

Welcome, Marlyn & Kenny.

"Writing" is MY strength too BUT, having said that, I can empathise with YOUR situation, Kenny ... as my son [37] is also dyslexic.

Marlyn, please be assured that ... far from meaning to be offensive ... Pete is keen to help newcomers and/or fellow forumers alike in every way possible ... based on his extensively knowledgable experience and expertise (which is second to none) in relation to Filipino culture. Indeed, he was one of the first to greet ME when I was a 'Newbie' here, between my two visits to the Phils last year. And thanks, in no small measure, to his wise counsel - in conjunction with the guidance of others on this site - I was able to defy the odds *against my Filipina wife obtaining a Spouse Visa *due to my being retired on an occupational pension.

With regard to spelling errors ... again, don't worry about these ... NOBODY is perfect! Besides, they have absolutely no bearing on a person's overall intelligence ... for instance, spelling has always been one of MY strong points while, on the other hand, my son-in-law is a teacher of Physics - yet HIS [spelling] has never been. Yet HE is the one with a University Degree ... something which I DON'T possess. Each and every one of us is unique in his or her own way.

I shall leave you both to be guided by the advice offered to you by others in the meantime, and which you will, no doubt, continue to receive. But in so doing, I would simply ask that you try to follow Pete's suggestion by 'paragraphing' subsequent posts in order to make their content easier to read and digest.

Thanks in anticipation ... and Good Luck!
