On my first few months here it was sooo hard, i used to cry everyday. I dont know anyone aside from philip's family and 1 pinay friend, different surroundings, different kind of foods,and i missed my mother so bad. It didnt help that i was stuck at home (not allowed to work on fiancee visa). cant go out on my own because i'm not comfortable talking to people as my english was'nt that good and i dont undesrtand scottish accent.Originally Posted by Win2Win
Pinay in the UK
Time to be serious.This is especially for those Filipina's who have been here around a year or less. How have you found the UK, what is it like, do you miss home, have you made a mistake? Etc.....
Things changed when i start working, i got to know people, talking to them helped me with my english and understanding the accent. I gained confidence, i made some friends, i got money to buy foods and make fone calls to pinas more often. (philip gave me money when i was'nt working but it doesnt feel nice to keep asking him as he also needs to support me with other things)
No matter how much i struggle on my first few months here i still dont think i made a mistake. I was shocked with the kind of life waiting for me here in UK, but even if i knew beforehand what it was like i would still have came.
The descision to come here lead me to my happiness.
