Why are some Filipinas like that?

That is why it is a treasure if you find a friend that doesn't look at what you have or what you do, but of what you are and what you can share to them...

Charlwill, I live too far from Cornwall, but if happens you are around Poole-Bournemouth, just give me a shout!

Me too, I really treasure a friend/s with a good heart and broad minded. And yes, sharing to a friend/s what you have and what you can do is really a great thing to do. Being envious to one another is no good.
For sure, I will give you a shout if it happens that I will be in your area. I been there once and you lived in a beautiful part of the country.

For a few months Jet has started exploring the town on her own.
She knows the buses that she needs for work or shopping trips, and she started making new friends.

One of the ladies, she met, is actually married to the chef of the hotel where Jet works, and so they have a real natter in Visayan like schoolgirls....
And long shopping escapades.....
Ann, has already been here at our place, while I was in the office last week, and Jet, as the perfect host, cooked some fantastic adobo for their lunch.....
Of which I only managed to get the whiff of it... It ain't fair.... But such is life.......

But what I find strange is Jet's reluctance to start any kind of conversation with Pinays in town, due to the fact that they seem to be unwilling to smile.
Sometime she prompts me to ask or say something to them to break the ice, and when I do, they ignore us completely....

Oh, well.... Never mind.

Well, you're not alone in this kind of circumstances.What we don't know is... What kind of burden they've got, why is it very hard for them S-M-I-L-E. But anyways, it seems that, when a filipina lived overseas, they've change alot! Not all, but most of them do. I really dont know, and I can't understant why!.
Change for the better and for the best but not for the worse and getting worst each time.
Very sad, but I think that is very true.
