I am happy but sad as well. I’ve never been away from my family. Why is it always difficult to leave?I am leaving for UK in 15 days, just the thought of it makes my heart crash into pieces..full of mixed emotions.
Is there any Filipina out there living somewhere near Bromley London....? I need your adviseplease my dear Pinay mentors, how will I cope up with homesickness... sorry po this is going to be my PERS TIME to UK..
hi po ano ung visa mo now? im gonna apply for tourist this monday po
it's always difficult leaving your loved ones..i was like that when i went to Singapore for work..i think i was crying for a month!it's the sense of comfort whenever they're around that i missed..i even missed my mom's nags!
But we all know we can't always stay at home and we'll leave our parent's house, whether just to another town or country..just always have communication with your family when you are in the UK already..always have a chat with them whether thru skype, email, Facebook or yahoo..and keep yourself busy too to take your mind off the homesickness..i'm sure you'd be able to meet new friends too..and ask your fiance/hubby to take you to places..
you were not alone thats for sure..me myself been away for almost 2 years now and i felt like been 20 yearsI’ve never been away from my family. Why is it always difficult to leave?since i was gone
you'll use to it soon when you come to UK
very normal to felt that way
goodluck and have a safe journey
so while you are there make the most of your time while it last
A place for everything, everything in its place.

Hi there, welcome to the friendly forum.... BTW, I applied for a spouse visa
Hi,
I identify with what you are thinking as my wife (providing she gets her visa) will also be away from her family for the first time at the age of 24. And she has expressed the same apprehension as you. I am making it a priority that she has a good internet link, here, with her family at home and I am encouraging her to keep contact with her close relatives on a daily basis. I am also establishing contact with fellow pinoys on the Isle of Man and investigating the possibility of pinoy tv, all in an effort to help her not to get too homesick.
By the way, I also get the feeling that I going to have to keep my apartment warm in an effort to replicate the kind of temperatures she has been used to all her life!
hi there, I am sure your hubby will be preparing for your arrival and will make sure he can have some time away from work in the 1st few days or longer to at least show you around Bromley. you will have a new barkada before you know it. And if you are an ABS CBN watcher then he can get this service from ABS CBN Europe through a set top box and internet connection, ours is only £19.99 a month and when we got it the box was free. It will start to get a little cooler now so he can take you shopping for some warmer clothes hehhehehe

Hi Lastlid, I seem to remember when we were visiting my wifes cousin up near Blackpool, she was having a get together with friends and one lady was living in Douglas and had a pinoy store there.. Let me talk to my mahal tonight and see if my memory is correct, you may know the store/owner.

Okay. I havent come across the pinoy store. Thanks.
There is only 60000 people on the island but 2000 are pinoys.
yes she mentioned therewas a large community there.. either lots of private residential care homes or very wise men who chose filipina brides

Online free of charge - you'll soon get sick of the constant soaps, Pinoys Got Talent type stuff etc. I don't mind TV Patrol and miss no longer leering at the Wow Wow Wee girls
Hospital and care homes i think....so i gather, scottligaya.
WoohoohI like that idea of yours scotandligaya, I am really looking forward to have a TCF or The Filipino Channel for my entertainment
Woohooh
Oooops.. sorry for double posting my reply.
Yes. I have it planned for my wife to buy a nice warm jacket as a priority so we hope to go the mall (Trafford Centre) when she steps of the plane in Manchester. ( also so she such doesnt get withdrawal symptoms from Robinsosns or the Mall of Asia....Woohooh
We talked about this and she will be bringing jeans with her and less in the way of shorts. And then we need to get her some warmer tops and some shoes /boots ....
Don't worry fella, she will adapt to the weather (eventually and for the most part!). The Manx weather won't beat her!By the way, I also get the feeling that I going to have to keep my apartment warm in an effort to replicate the kind of temperatures she has been used to all her life!

Hello dear, I understand how you feelI am happy but sad as well. I’ve never been away from my family. Why is it always difficult to leave?

Yes. My good wife wants to slide in the snow but I havent told her yet that it doent snow much on the island. May need to take her for a special trip to the mainland for that.Don't worry fella, she will adapt to the weather (eventually and for the most part!). The Manx weather won't beat her!
Where is the Pinoy shop that scottligaya refer to? I have seen the New Manila Cafe and I know that a range of pinoy foods can be bought at Robinosons
( not the same Robinsons as in Manila, by the way, for those others reading this post
Hi there, the owner is called Vilma, my mahal is calling her cousin today to try to get her contact details, I will pass them on when I have them

No idea fella I'm afraid. It's a new one on me too! Admittedly though I never made much of an attempt to see if there was one given no other Filipinos have ever mentioned it to my wife!Yes.
