what is the big deal about having a british passport anyway? easier to travel? i travel, been to the states 4 times europe a lot of times too. it has not been a problem before, a hassle maybe but not a big deal.
Yes Maria you gave up a lot to be here, but what have you gained by being here?
I know there`s no family here but other than that i`m not sure theres any filipinas that live in a worse house, or have a worse job,or less money etc.
For sure you wouldnt still be here if it was that bad.
As you said you've been talking about it for a while because of the hassle when going to the states regarding visas.
If you dont want to do it then dont, easy d ba?
Everyone should be proud of their own country without a doubt.
I know i`m proud to be English and to see my country give opportunities to people that havn`t given them in their own country.
Anyway, if you have hassle getting through customs at least Phil can collect your bags and be ready waiting for you when you get through!
Or maybe thats your plan............
