I'm here because I recently met this most amazing Filipina.
I didn't even know, for sure, where the Phillipines were before....
(But yesterday Labuyo taught me serious lessons, here in UK)
I'm interested in other Brits experiences of doing 'this one'!?!
All new to me, but I got a serious interest in this area now.....
Me, in a sentence am Brit, retired, long divorced, bored, and then I 'meet' a Filapina!!!
Life changing stuff.
OK. Not the best intro, but I got hypnotised! Don't blame me.
Hello Labuyo, welcome in here, I'm sure you will find a lot of useful info in here about Philippines and all...

Discovered filipinas?Ferdinand Magellan might just have beaten you to it methinks
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'd disagree with the word 'folks' as that insinuates Mancs may be humanWhen you get here Florge(congrats on the visa)dont go saying you just discovered Manchester because I think some folks already live there

LOL.. very funny Tawi... and thanks.When you get here Florge(congrats on the visa)dont go saying you just discovered Manchester because I think some folks already live there
OK, OK I didn't get the grammar perfect....
Can you prove it was Magellan?
Might just be that the people living there at the time 'discovered' it long before Magellan was conceived?
I only learnt to spell Phillipines, er Philippines or is it Philipinnes, recently..... does it really matter?
Ain't it the thought that counts?
Thanks Iain, I met my Filipina on the Guardians Soulmates site.
Light-hearted thing for me at the time, but I bought a 3 month subscription and cancelled it after 2 weeks. Didn't need that any more.
Never been the same since!
Like yesterday I get a text saying 'we got flooded out by the tail end of Typhoon Labuyo'. She lives in Las Piñas City, in a low lying area, and lost 99% of her hard won possessions. I speak to her today in the process of cleaning up, and she says quite calmly 'we get 3 a year on average...'
It's an education for me.
In many different ways.

POWER TO THE PEACEFUL. MABUHAY IRELAND AND PHILIPPINES
Discovered filipinas?Ferdinand Magellan might just have beaten you to it methinksNot forgetting [among other illustrious personages] Tawi2, Nationalist/ Anti-EU & exiled Brits, the renowned Italian Refor(u)mer, Aromulus and [meKNOWS] Arthur Little ...
Yes, Mr Clever Dick, (dick being the operative word here) Mr 'Magellan' might have discovered numerous things, if you believe what is written.Discovered filipinas?Ferdinand Magellan might just have beaten you to it methinks
I think other people already discovered Filipinas way before him. Like the people already living there.....
I obviously discover certain things before you. Like common sense and civility.
Sorry to be blunt, but you were uncivil and facetious. So I reply in kind.
Is this the way certain people 'welcome' newcomers on this site??
I'm sure it's not the norm after all the kind thoughts and advice since.
Thanks, all you positive people!!!
I love this sweet Filipina and I will go the the last mile for her.
I would have assumed at your age you would have learnt a few manners,I guess not,took you a whole day to think of it though

Your comments say a lot more about your character than they do about mine

Don't lecture me about manners.I would have assumed at your age you would have learnt a few manners,I guess not,took you a whole day to think of it though
I'm rude to point out your deficiencies and wrong facts?
I get on with younger women? You jealous. Or sick?
You now add deliberate insults???
I accept your previous comments were unthought, unconsidered ramblings.
But deliberate insults I don't accept.
From you or anybody.
If that's what this site is about I'm sorry I found it.
Your manners are as lacking as is your original 'information' about Magellan.

Hi Labayo,
Welcome to the forum. Where did you dicover her, in the UK or online in the Philippines?
Iain.
Nobody's blaming you, mate!On the contrary, MOST - if not all - of us British males on this site, found ourselves "bowled-over" by or, as you say, under the "hypnotic influence" of our Filipina mahals.
It was certainly a NEW experience to me too. I'm also retired and, after 16 long years of widowhood - followed by quite a few
... until "fate" (call it what you will) decreed otherwise when, in September 2007, I began corresponding with a schoolteacher from the southern island of Mindinao. And, suddenly, my sagging spirits were rejuvenated. But that's not all! A year later, I visited her not once ... but TWICE, in as many months and, on the second occasion, we were married in the Phils. That was last December, and she's been here in the UK since March.
Just goes to show that people of our age should never consider ourselves as being too old, eh? Welcome, my friend ... I wish you well in your new-found happiness.
Thank you kind sir!
Just the sort of sentiment I need right now.
Being at the beginning of what looks like a long, difficult journey.
And I know nothing.
Yet.
Thanks for your kind words sir.Nobody's blaming you, mate!

(I replied above without realising how to properly navigate or edit. Unlike Magellan...)
I'm very interested in other peoples similar experiences because it is all new territory for me and I don't want to waste valuable time
Hearing your story is a bit of a confidence booster
Age differences are also significant and I wonder what potential snags lie there.
Meanwhile I concentrate on the positive.
Plenty of that.
