A number of reasons effect how a Filipina feels when they come here.
Some are used to either a housemaid or their parents doing a lot of the stuff for them, so when they arrive in the UK they discover they suddenly have to do terrible things like cook, wash clothes, clean the toilet, cut the grass, etc..... but then this is usually the case anyway if they'd stayed in the Phil and married a local lad.
Some Filipina's love the weather in the UK, some hate it. For those that don't like it they forget the typhoons they used to get and the 2 months a year with no aircon with temperature hitting 35C+ and high humidity.
Then we have what is defined as 'home'. Some still regard the Phil as 'home' even though it is actually here now. This is just down to the way they view it mentally and just can't let go of what they used to have.
As for being pampered at the spa, you have a husband.... why would you want a stranger fondling your body when you married someone to do that for you?And that kind of thing is classed as a luxury in this country, although one-off packages start around £50 if you have spare cash.
With technology these days friends and family can be contacted via video at any time for a chat, not sure how this is different than actually being physically with them unless you used to fondle each other
The best thing to do when you arrive is treat the first few weeks as a holiday, remember, it was a shock to hubby when he visited you, and just adjust to things at your own pace. If you have any issues, talk to your other half straight away, don't bottle things up, you'll just make yourself more miserable.
