but everyone here seems to think i'm talking Tampo. No -- im not, I'm talking about a friend who'll be really nice to your face and say "Here's my number, text me anytime" or whatever, who never texts back, who never emails back and who generally ends the friendship by disassociating him/her self from you.

Tampo - i understand . .. i do it myself!

Don't people in England do that all the time!!!! So probably not un-common in The Philippines too.

You work with someone for 7 years, every day having great conversation, then they go of to pastures new, leaving e-mail addresses and phone numbers, but they never e-mail or phone, the grass is greener on the other side and they forget you as all you was really was someone to pass the time with at work or wherever, even people you have drank with in the pub every week do it, It is just normal I guess as life is too short and no one can soare the time to keep communicating, seems a bit harsh but I guess true!!!!

I met someone in the Phil, one of Annies friends, got on great with him, he wanted to start a bussiness if i wett to the Phil to live never heard from him again or neither did he e-mail, just lost touch with me and Annie.

The world is like that sometimes to people like that

hope you dont mind if i join your conversation....

when me and my husband were together,,,he like me being tampo coz i have this childish gesture whenever i feel bad...sometimes i stamp my feet like a kid...we usually confront each other and fix things...i dont just sit in one corner of the room and pitty my self or say bad things to him....
actually we argue or have lots of misunderstanding,,,,almost everyday....can you imagine,,,because of our differences and insicurity...(i guess thats because we are still young)

when he got back to his country,,,,we settle our arguments by sending each other offline messages if one is not online,,,or my husband call me a hundred times,,,he never stop untill we settle our arguments or i stop crying and make me feel secure....(its quite hard to fix things thru phone)

all our arguments end up with a sweet kiss and hug....or in the phone a word i love you end up our mis understanding....my mom said where crazy.

i think that tampo issue is not categorize as whole community (filipina) its individual character....

well...im just sharing a piece of my experience with tampo issue
