Hi Everyone

Hi everyone

Most of my details are in my profile, ok, but I'll expand a bit here. I have quite a few good pinoy friends, most of whom I met while working in the NHS in Aylesbury. Nearly all of them are Ilonggo, and I was lucky enough to be invited to stay with my very best friends (hi Rechelle! hi jun jun!!) for 6 weeks in Tabucan, Iloilo City, for 6 weeks - including Dinagyang 2011. I recently went back for 4 days (don't ask) and can't wait to go again. I am ninong to R & jj's 3 young boys & I love them to bits.

I really like Filipino food (except balut) and my favourites include green mango with shrimp paste, adobo, jack fruit, batchoy, fresh coconut milk, brasos de Mercedes, mango and (of course) Thai jasmine rice! Oh, not forgetting Tanduay & San Miguel...

Being 61 I now struggle to learn foreign languages, but I know quite a few words in Tagalog and Hiligaynon.

I hope to be an active member here and look forward to getting to know you guys.

Yes, that's true ..... I just noticed.

We're still young, but as Oscar Wilde said not young enough to know everything

So I see. , Willy ... very interesting!

from another "" who knows the feeling ... despite being married to a Filipina since December 2008. But you've at least tried with some success!
