Hi from Scott and Ligaya

[scott&ligaya]

Hello everybody, we are a British/Filipina married couple currently living in Hong Long/Palawan and San Nicolas Pangasinan(Ligaya;s home town) but we are relocating to the Birmingham area. I will arrive in mid Januaty to start work with my new company and sort out a house rental. Ligaya is currently nearly 6 mths pregnant with our 1st child and staying with her famly and being fussed over by the whole Barangay in the way only Filipinos can. She is 31 and we were told it would be only a very small chance of her concieving naturally due to previous medical condition so we are indeed blessed and she is like a kid with a new toy. I am 45 and cannot wait to be a dad again as I have a son nearly 18 already in the UK.

Ligaya has visited the UK before and worked for two months in Oxfordshire and stayed with me in Shropshire for a couple of weeks.

She will ave our baby at St Lukes in Manila an then join me here around Easter.

I want to surprise her and show how much I care for her by finding a friendship group for her, a filipino store for stinky stuff(you know what I mean) and find out if her church JIL has a chapter in the Midlands or even London.

It will be difficult for her without regular tong tong with other Illocanos/filipinas so hopefully I can do something in advance to help.

Bye for now

Hi Scott,
My wife and I live in Coventry which is quite near and she is always happy to meet and chat with new Filipinas. She has a wide circle of freinds here in Coventry and they get together quite regularly.

I'm planning to bring my Vimvie to the U.K. in late January or February, 2008, but I'm afraid we'll be living in Chessington Surrey (Just south of London) Vimvie might want to meet you though..

Hi everyone, just read your greetings,
thanks Ian for your invitation, I am not positive yet where we will chose to live yet, my new company is in South West Brmingham but I have lived in Knowle in the past and also Bridgnorth so east or west is possible. I was thinking that maybe it might be easier for Ligaya if we chose to live closer to the city centre maybe somewhere like Harborne, but I do not how these areas have changed and will need to do some scouting when I first get over in mid January. Turns out one of your regular member's wife is from my ladies province and is Illocano living in Birmingham so that is a start. I have just finished my last asignment in Shanghai and am packing up our stuff in our Hong Kong flat before going over to Manila on Thursday to meet Ligaya for a gyny appt. We shall then spend christmas with her family in Pangasinan, should be fun, I love playing tongit with her brothers and neighbours.

hello Scott just pass on our kind regards to Ligaya and to ur coming baby.
Me and Paul live in the South of Birmingham, I came from San Manuel just a neighbouring town of San Nicolas and yes you are right i speak Ilocano ( We like to have "Tong Tong" specially when nothing to do )

We can't have our Christmas this year in the Phil but hopefully next year. Have a safe journey!

[scott&ligaya]

Good day to you Anilyn and Paul, sorry for hi jacking our own intro but is there a way for me to e mail you directly so I can talk to you some more about our re-location without boring everyone else. By the way I have been up to the dam near San Manuel , you used to be able to tour there but the snotty guard told us we could not take a look, he had a large gun so discretion took over from valour.

Hi Scott&Ligaya,

Welcome to this great site! I live in Stoke-On- Trent,Staffs. an hour drive going to Ann and Paul place...maybe we can get together guys!

Ok, u take care and pls regards to your wife and to your coming prince or princess.

[scott&ligaya]

For sure we can meet up once we get sorted, we know it will be a little prince, someone I know was too impatient to wait for the surprise, she is the same with presents!!! oh well as long as they both stay well I am happy.

I am off to Manila in the morning to meet up for her next gyny appt. Then it will be retail therapy at mall of asia (gingersnap for more preggy clothes).
