I have changed in many ways. There are good ones and I hate to admit...some bad ones.
-First I gained weight. My husband said I have to lose it. My defence, I get contented.
-Next, as a filipino, we are all courteous and polite and one example is by addressing "Sir or Ma'am" to your managers or anyone from your workplace with higher position. I say this all the time but I noticed british people don't like it. They said I made them feel old. Some of them actually irritatingly told me "Stop calling me Sir!". Since then, I just call them by their first names. Sometimes, I feel guilty but now, it just come naturally. I still greet our customers with Sir and Ma'am (old habits are hard to break).
-Oh yes, like Penny and many filipinas here, I wear layers of clothings. I still feel cold even in summer.
-I still love filipino food. But I'm addicted to Fish and Chips!
-My accent never changed. Still the adopted American accent which according to my manager..."What a shame!".
-I'm still looking for filipina friends nearby but I do never learned, most of them I get intouch with never replied to my text messages nor speak to me when they see me (yes...these are women who never like someone like me who's married to a brit guy).
-I watched Britain's Got Talent, X Factor, Strictly come Dancing, which my husband hates. But I still watch it anyway leaving my husband to go on computer.
-Too many to mention and space aren't getting enough to continue on and on.
