Spain is "Away"
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.
LOL, i thought bless - the thread owner only emphasized uk and philippines as either home or away, lolSpain is "Away"
follow the rules tawi, lol

Hello Sophie I will take Pinas as your answer. It is that okay?Spain is a good idea actually
Yeah, no place like home as they say....My hubby loves tagaytay when i brought him there a couple of times before....Hello Sophie I will take Pinas as your answer. It is that okay?
And the weather is cold there so he won't struggle with the heat unlike in the city (las pinas) where i live....
So tagaytay is a place worth considering in the future
But that's still a long long way ahead, plans could still change...

this is a very nice thread hoping that it will not come to a point of comparing UK and Phil (like night and day) again as it causes friction. Considering that most of us Pinays here are married to Brit it shows a "bond" taking our relationship as an example. What brought us here to UK (for those who are in a relationship/engaged or married to Brit) is love and simply by taking a vow we promised to be with them till death so Phil or UK as long as together it really doesnt matter.Whatever happened to Home or Away?
I wish everyone a good day.
If it's not life threatening IGNORE it .. .
well said sis
I agree completely, what's important is you're together, be it in uk or philippines or some place else, as long as its a mutual decision of the couple

Hi bless.books
for me, it does"nt matter where we live really, as long as we are together,me and my husband.
anyway, my husband and i are going to have a good start in uk then we will back here in pinas to live..but away from manila i guess..coz the pollution here is terrible
CRITICIZING OTHERS IS A DANGEROUS THING, NOT SO MUCH BECAUSE YOU MAY MAKE MISTAKES ABOUT THEM, BUT BECAUSE YOU MAY BE REVEALING THE TRUTH ABOUT YOURSELF.

Yes, I am totally with you and we share the same thoughts and sentiments. Anywhere is okay, but time will come when we will have to face the reaity of old age. And when that time comes - we should know where.
This thread is in preparation for those nearing retirement ...

Hello again Sophie! Yeah, agree with you there. But you got to choose one only. God willing, if we all reach the age 60's or 80s where it would be hard to travel, where would you rather be?well said sis

Hello again jaishann! Thank you for your comment. I do not wish that on this thread. I am not comparing UK/PHILIPPINES here. I am trying to draw out your feelings being married to Brit/Filipinos and where will you go/stay when retirement is looming. Have you ever thought about it? Yes, it doesn't matter where, but sooner or later we will have to choose one, where we will live and stay permanently. What is the ideal place when you come to the age - where you are no longer capable?
YAY i second to that!
I wanna buy an island in pinas(beach house on a fine white sand,crystal blue waters and a massive boat or yatch) and jst grow old there with ma man...hehehe
Hello again queenbie! Wow that would be wonderful! Invite me please ....I wanna buy an island in pinas(beach house on a fine white sand,crystal blue waters and a massive boat or yatch) and jst grow old there with ma man...hehehe

Hello Sophie! Yeah, I agree with you. I only have two choices and both tawi2 and JH mentioned something else.Whatever happened to Home or Away?
I know a few who are nearly retiring and faced with the dilemma. One couple I know sad, wife will go back home, husband will stay here in UK. I do not want that to imagine.
it would make more sense and be less provincial! The initial post assumes that we will either spend our retirement in UK or Phils, what if we decide we want to spend it in guatemala?Whatever happened to Home or Away?
My first post was just to get the picture in with blackpool vs jamaica!
And, I can see that BB is sharing her professorial level of logical deduction. Tawi said Spain - OK, that's a tick in the "UK" column!
Chill out chick, first of all, this could be a poll ...
secondly, I posted my facetious response just to post the picture. I'm 27, ask me about retirement in 35-40 years from now!
And, please laugh, and read my sig
