BAB there is no way i will forget where i came from, i just live here in the UK this is not home

Maria,

I think that a person will always feel away from home if they are single in another country. I also believe that living with a husband in his country would make that country your new home, and if you have children then that would make it your home without hesitation

come on ladies your in the uk now and going to become uk citizens, isnt time to forget your roots and adopt your new country.

you can smile here instead

I'm not sure if a Filipina change and forget where they came from and if they can forget their roots. It is in our culture. I live in our country for 4 decades and will live here with hubby for few decades but I am sure most filipinas will love going back in the future.

home is where the heart is!

i dont blame you, i feel the same about the uk

but why do you feel so strongly being a filipina?

Maybe because we were born in the Philippines. If I was born here, I'm sure I can feel I am a British and you can call me british not filipino-british please!

There are loads of friends of mine who spending their retirement in the Philippines regardless of status, with or without children. Some of them early retired. Laguna Bel-Air, Brittany and other elite village are the place where I usuallly see foreigners with Pinay wife. Even foreigners considered Philippines as their home not their own country.

I worked 5 years in Taiwan when I was still single and rarely feel homesick. IMHO, it is regardless of place and status.

OK Penny, I see your point
I suppose we all see life in different ways.
My wife still sees the Phils as her home, I am hoping that she will see England as her home when she has children here

Your kidding right?

Wow that's cool Fred! I know it's true you can still smile. Why not? It adds beauty.

You're right! But if I was born in smokey mountain, edge of Pasig river, worked in a pub cabaret doing dirty jobs. I am sure I'll have my second choice.

I consider UK as my home too but not in my retirement. NAH!

Mabuhayh!!!
When I was still at Uni, I used to pass at the overpass in Lawton and I always read some graffitis made by activists there. I still remember " Pilipinas, paraiso ng mga dayuhan" sounds true as you'll see foreigners are enjoying so do we?

I absolutely agree ms penny
