Any Filipinos here?


xero_
day of defeat :D
Paul Booth Is it not a fact that many of the Filipinas in Dubai are alone and away from families. And that having a foreign friend makes them feel safer and secure. Also lets face it many Filipino men have a reputation for being immature and unreliable. Vive le difference! .:.sassy_kc.:.

I am from the UK.
I was born in London but I also grew up in Dubai. My gf is from Davao.
My simple advice is this:
Yes, sometimes in Dubai you can encounter 'unique' problems or annoyances. And no, Dubai is definitely NOT always paradise.
But, on the whole, this place is quite wonderful!
IF you have the chance, IF you can come here through the right way/procedure and IF you can get a legitimate or good/average job here, go for it!
The fact is this: the majority of your kabayan in Dubai are contented, safe and making money which they are happy with.
Good luck again!
:D
Jeevan Burtons IF's are perfect :) Every individual is different here, whats big money for me might not be the same for others, for some it might be peanuts with their standard of living, for others it would be a dream salary. THe point here is finding a midway solution with which you are satisfied. I was happy with Dubai to a certain extent, wouldnt say i loved it. I am moving on in this month, its one of those decisions that one has to take. But like Burton said, you go through right sources and land up a decent job, you MAYBE satisfied on what your final goals are. Cheers, J aninox I'm a filipino who has been offered to move to Dubai to lead a desk of equity derivative traders. I'm not sure if the package they offered is good enough so please let me know. I would also like to know if here are filipino communities in the area. The package offered is ( in monthly breakdown) Compensation 100,000 AED Housing Allow 15,000 AED Transpo Allow 7,000 AED Entertainment/Misc 10,000 AED Health Care Provided 5% Year-end Bonus on Desk Capital Gain I would also like to stay in area where I have a good backyard for my kids and prefereably a good school. Thanks for your advise and comments sage & onion
Dhs, $ or Peso? aninox Figures in Dhs. sage & onion
Monthly? aninox All figures are in monthly except Bonus because it will be based on the actual end-of-year capital gain of the desk account fayz
Ummm you do realize that AED is the official currency code for the UAE right? she does write AED on her post, unless it was edited.
and damn if you're making 100k a month you're doing awesome. v8chris hmmmm.... sounds like an interesting package (if its for real).....
1st time to hear such package for filipinos (no racism involved)......
well, if u r educated, no need to ask such thing.... no need to do the math..... sounds like a fantasy to me..... but take it if its "for real"...
we have a family friend whos running a multinational company....... he's not even close to ur package.......
ANINOX'S MONTHLY PACKAGE:
AED 132,000
CONVERTION IN PESOS - PHP 1,716,000
HMMMMMMMM................ NO MORE COMMENTS.............
DO U NEED AN ANTI DEPRESSANT DRUG OR SOMETHING???
CHEERS!!!
burton
:shock: :D
Pare, I dunno what to say...um, whatever you're smoking, I'll have some too!!
But if that is the package, just give me a call and I'll be your tour guide for AED 10,000 a month.
peace.
burton gtmash
First time I hear of a package this high, period. aninox The package is a standard package offered here in the US for any sr. trader who wants to relocate to Dubai. The salary component (converted to US$) will be almost the same what traders are paid here but the savings will be in the taxes and allowances. It will be a big move for me if I accept it that is why I'm asking for comments/advise. Another trader who moved to DUBAI keeps saying that it's not worth it for him and he will return to US after his contract finishes in Feb 2009 but I thinking more of maybe he's not the saving type but not really sure. sage & onion
If the package is the same and you save on the taxes, I would think that it is beneficial to come here. Just a thought though, are you not liable for US taxes even working abroad? The Major
Depends on citizenship and passport. If you have both passports, enter Dubai on your Filopino passport = no tax to US GVT. The Major

[color=olive]ohh. if i go to dubai, i have a better chnace to have a foreigner bf[/color]! :D lolz asc_26
:roll: :roll: :roll: SCY
Gurl, i think you need to read a thread in romance forum. Filipina look cheap with foreigners. It's different here, you know. SCY
Not funny! if only you know the mentality of people here about filipinas in general...
Oh well your true intention in coming to Dubai is so obvious. Ikakahiya ka ni Gabriella Silang. Ang tawag nila sa pinay na ganyan ay cheap. Change your mindset please. burton
Well, to be honest, that's probably true...but I'm not sure if that should be your main priority! What happened to your job?? lol...
Anyway sassy, remember that 'the grass is not always greener'. You might end up with some boring guy who can't dance, can't sing, who only loves to drink in the pub....and worst of all, hates the smell/sight of baguong!! Then where would you be??
:shock: :D
(me? resorting to stereotypes? never!!!)
:wink: burton
That's a silly thing to say.
I do understand where you're coming from, but as a statement it's still far too general.
We are in Dubai. You can see examples of cheapness - and for that matter, class - in EVERY nationality... sage & onion
Well said SCY Burton, i know where i came from. The place where I came from can fully comprehend filipinas far better than anyone else. If sassy's intention of coming to Dubai is to find a foreign bf then she could be one of the many fishes in the market, who are vulnerable to abuse and does help foreigners besmirch our reputation. Get real! I am a Filipina by the way. SCY
Could be silly but it's true. Hence, most if not all filipinos will give a smirk to pinays with a foriegner, especially to married filipinas back home and still manage to s.l.u.t-away with a foreign bf in Dubai.
Burton, you still have to do a lot of assignments for you to understand pinoys/pinays. Filipinos in their social strata. Jeevan
Fook :shock: is this package for real , that too monthly??? holy sh..
thats awesome mate, i havent heard of that kinda monthly package anytime during my stay here. SCY
I've heard about the same allowances given to Filipino expats, but i have never heard of AED100K monthly salary yet. However, that kind of job needs brainy professionals and they should be paid well.
Anyway, it's way too good for a package kabayan. You and your family can live a decent life with that package here in Dubai. Good Luck! burton SCY,
You seem like an articulate person so let's see if we can discuss this in a reasonable manner. I think we can...

Yes, if this really is Sassy's main reason behind her coming to Dubai - her sole intention, or the greatest part of it - then I agree, it is rather odd. However, I seriously doubt this is the case but again, just for the record, I agree. Imo, the remark was a bit too frivolous, a little too 'careless'. And I can see why it might trivialize what can be a fairly serious topic. You obviously found it, in some sense, offensive.
But, what you seem to have no idea about is how incredibly careless and offensive your own remark is! Go back and read what you wrote. Actually, better still, here it is again:

Now, are you honestly telling me that you can't see anything wrong with that statement, your statement?? Whether you like it or not, and whether this is how you come across in the 'real' world, your posts - on this topic at least - sound very ignorant and also exude a real sense of...hostility.
This is not me 'going over the top'. Again, I just don't think you have any idea about the consequences of making such a sweeping statement, a statement that directly offends people like me and my girlfriend.
If someone said ''All Muslims are violent or all Muslims look violent'' (whatever that means!), would you agree? I certainly hope not!
If someone said ''All English blokes are yobs or look like yobs'', again - would you agree?
We can keep coming up with statements like these all day! Are all Russians gangsters? Are all Cabin Crew promiscuous? Nationality, job description, religion...however you want to do it, the list is endless.
Nobody - in their right mind - would agree with any of those above statements. So why on earth would anyone agree that ''filipinas look cheap with foreigners''?
You have to understand that your post also exudes a strong sense of superiority; it is inherent in what you write and how you write it. By saying that filipinas who date or marry foreigners look cheap/are cheap you are directly implying - whether you realize it or not - that Filipinas who do not date or marry foreigners are in someway superior, somehow better. Is that really the case SCY? Are you better than me - or my girlfriend? Or, for example, is the Filipino guy who marries a Filipina better than me? Are all the Filipino couples that I see walking hand in hand better than us - my gf and I?? Surely, you have to realize how absurd this is...
Look, my intention is not to jump all over your posts and in any case, you seem quite capable of putting up an argument yourself. But I do think that you need to be very careful about the statements you make, and their implications...
And finally, regarding:

I have no need for any assignments, no need to do any homework. I am not an anthropologist and Filipinos are not my object of study. This is not an academic subject and I have no desire to put the Filipino - or any other nationality - under a microscope. But perhaps, to use the same metaphor, you would be well advised to turn that microscope on your own thoughts, feelings and pronouncements.
burton burton Not wanting to do this to death but again, the hostility in your posts is quite remarkable:

You write this as if the overwhelming cause, the no.1 reason behind marital disharmony in the Philippines is the dreaded...gasp!...'foreign boyfriend'! Lol!...
Do you have any idea how many Filipinos - here in Dubai - are currently conducting affairs with their own fellow Filipinos???
And you tell me to 'get real'? C'mon, please...
:roll: DeeDee well said burton. Having said that though, I am a filipina, raised in NZ and Australia since I was 4. I married an Aussie and consider myself Aussie. And whilst I do get some curious looks (from other filipinos mainly) because I have a 'western' husband, it bothers me a bit, that somehow I fit into that 'filipina with foreign man' stereotype that SCY portrays... by the way, aninox that is an awesome salary and can you tell me what you do and how do I do it :wink: burton
Thanks Dee, and btw, nice to meet you.
Like you say, the 'Filipina with foreign boyfriend/husband' is a cultural phenomena, a 'syndrome' perhaps! There is no point in trying to deny this. But the reasons are very obvious and very straightforward. There is no mystery involved...
But look, while we are talking about it quite candidly, yeah I admit it! If or when I see some ancient-looking 'typical' western-expat-bloke with a 'I love Cebu' T-shirt (let's go for the whole stereotype!) with some nubile(!) young Filipina (another stereotype, I know), of course I think to myself ''yep, that's a bit lame!''
Harmless. Not exactly doing anyone the greatest harm but yeah, kind of lame - you know what I mean, everyone does. You cringe a little bit, have a private momentary giggle. We all do it...
But this is the worst example of its kind. There are thousands of relationships that bear nothing in common with the example I deliberately painted above. And as such, they shouldn't be subject to such blanket statements as the ones I've come across in this thread... SCY I am not an avid fan of fisking style post. Burton, I understand why you have reacted this way. I should have linked the thread posted by a forumer in the Romance forum. My bad I didn’t correctly quote the title of the thread, which is “Filipina in Dubai Looked Cheap”, instead I wrote Filipina look cheap with foreigners. To make it clear, I was referring or pointing out a thread in romance forum, and for sassy to get it straight how some people in Dubai viewed Filipinas this way. I was pointing a fact that people (Filipinos or not) in Dubai have this kind of impression towards Filipina. And coming here in Dubai to find a foreign boyfriend will only add to taint the reputation of Filipinas. We should understand the underlying reasons why people have this kind of say or impression towards Filipinas, because maybe they’re right based on their experiences and based on what they’ve witnessed. How many Filipinas went back home pregnant from a foreign boyfriend? Or How about Filipinas who are now in jail, because of having an illicit affair with foreigners? How many Filipinas became prey and victim of abuse in the hands of foreigners? I’ve seen a lot of them and they’ve been warned. I’ve seen the worst of pinays in the hands of foreigners. And who would most likely be a victim? Who would most likely be a prey? I think you know the answers. Having said all these, it is uncalled for you to call me an ignorant. Did I name call you? Being a Filipina, it is evident that we are family oriented people. Just like anyone else, it irritates me to see married Filipinas having an affair with foreigners. Why? These kinds of ladies are materialistic and not contented with what their Filipino husband can bring home for the family to share, so they seek greener pastures for the family but ending having an affair with a foreigner. They are thinking that foreign men can satisfy their materialistic desires, and these materialistic desires add to besmirch our reputation. And of course, I too am aware with what’s going on with pinays having an affair with fellow married Filipinos. Since I have reacted to sassy’s post of her getting bigger chances of having a foreign bf here in Dubai, then we have to limit the topic to Filipinas in the hands of foreigners. I’ve read your reply to Deedee, and I have to agree that it is partly a social stigma. When I first came to Dubai, I’ve noticed how foreigners treat us upfront. I wonder why? I’ve not done anything flirtatious act, but why I was being “bastos” or treated badly? I felt insulted when a foreigner gave a remark that Filipinas are just worth a mobile phone. See? Why they’ve said that? Because some are worth a mobile phone only, materialistic and cheap. The reason why I’ve suggested you to do an assignment is that Filipino culture per se is in itself diverse. There are liberated pinays raised in the US or in western countries; the conservative Filipino-chinese descent; and Filipinas coming from certain Islands back home have different social background than those of the Luzon areas. Hence, we clash when it comes to this issue. It has been advised by the Philippine Embassy here in UAE to all Filipinos to behave and to conduct themselves accordingly and not by degrading the Filipino community (Can’t count the cases handled by Phil Embassy due to flirtatious,s.luti.ness and cheap kabayans). A rotten tomato should be removed as not to rot the rest of the healthy tomatoes inside the basket. I hope this will serve an eye opener for Filipinas out there, who are dreaming of coming to Dubai to find a foreign boyfriend. The very reason of coming to Dubai is to work, to showcase your skills and to earn a living. We should earn a living based on what the companies are paying to us, earning a living that will make the entire Filipinos proud, and not by finding a foreign boyfriend and used them. We should carry our values everywhere we go. My two fils.. v8chris + 100 for SCY!!!!! :D
burton SCY
Since you have an aversion to 'fisking', fine - no more fisking. I actually had no idea what the term meant so I had to wiki it. I guess you learn something new everyday...
My 'problem' is simply this; it seems to me that you are not just saying 'this is what many Filipinos think'. It seems very much the case that you are also saying 'and this is what I think' i.e., the view that Filipinas with foreigners are cheap has merit, has validity. That you are endorsing it.
I mean, c'mon, if you had said ''sadly, this is what many people tend to think, right or wrong" or even 'this is what many people think and to be fair, there are some reasons behind it" - do you really think I would be so offended. Of course not. But again, sorry to say but I have nasty suspicion that the view is your own.
So then, let me ask you straight. Of course, you have no obligation to answer but I would be interested to know. What do you think? In your own opinion, are the vast majority of Filipinas who marry/date foreigners cheap? Are they, as a general rule, 'sluts'?
I have already said that I myself, along with many others, often have reservations when I see couples that somehow fit the stereotype at its worst. And that this is quite a natural reaction. But this is very different to endorsing the statement as a general, blanket condemnation.
So again, back to the question - 'what do you think?' You see my girlfriend and I walking in Ibn Battutta, sitting in Chowking (!), heavens forbid even a 'Filipino <gasp!> nightclub' - in short, doing all the myriad things which everyone ellse does, just minding our own business - and do you automatically raise your eyebrows and say to your friend 'oh god, what a slutt dating a foreigner' and 'oh dear, what a typical foreign man dating a cheap pinay'? Does your friend shake her head in agreement and sigh plaintively with a heavy heart? Is this you?
Because if it is, of course I 'have a problem' with it! Who wouldn't?
Lastly, c'mon SCY - you have to grow a thicker skin. I mean, you can't have it both ways. I didn't actually call you ignorant or superior but yes, I certainly said that your posts sound ignorant and exude a sense of superiority - on this topic at least. But look, if you feel that those remarks were uncalled for, then I apologize - I'm sorry and, sincerely so.
But, I'm just surprised that someone who comes out with the statements that you have made and therefore, practically - to all intents and purposes -endorses them (this is the point after all right?) can take such offense... burton Double post deleted. Jeevan I dunno if ur aware, but one of the major reasons for this kind of attitude towards filipinas ( by a few people not all)i think is angeles city. .:.sassy_kc.:. [color=violet]oohhh i never thought that many would react to my statement about the foreigner bf thing :D i was just JOKING i don't need a foreigner bf to be wealthy. sorry, but I AM NOT THAT TYPE! i have my GOD to bless meeh. but i am surprised to know that filipinas with foreigner bf look cheap in dubai. huh?! what the!!! hehehehe. ofcourse my main reason for going to dubai is to find a JOB JOB JOB!
for me,if the filipina is single and her foreigner bf is also single there's nuthin wrong with that.if her intention is not only because of material or financial security,i dont think it will be cheap.well, who cares about what other people think!you know yourself better than anybody else.but i can't blame others who think that way,because there were some filipinas who had an affair with foreigners, used them just because of financial reasons. whew! [/color]:? .:.sassy_kc.:.
[color=violet]what makes you think that's my intention?sorry but you're 101% wrong!. :) work is my OBVIOUS INTENTION. hehehehe. im sick and tired of men,they are mean :cry: ohh but not all. wether filipino or foreigner. white or black,asian or european or arabian indian persian,whatevah! it depends on the person.[/color] .:.sassy_kc.:.
[color=violet]ahahaha. you make me laugh.ohh a drunkard?! whew!!! that will give me a headache! hhmmm, i mizz baguong!!" the grass is not always greener" only to discover it's a fake grass. hehe. i believe in what you've said. it's true.[/color] DeeDee Anyway, I think we all got our relative points across. Lets all hug and be friends. sage & onion
Sounds like good advice :wink: SCY Burton, I’ve pointed out a thread but it doesn’t mean I’ve endorsed it. It was more on pointing out a reality that some people think otherwise, and yes unwelcome by some. In fact, it should serve a warning for us Filipinas not to be easy and too trusting. Filipinos fun loving nature has been taken advantage by some foreigners, but I can’t blame the latter for we, Filipinos allowed these things to happened to us. I can’t deny that those unpleasant actions of Filipinas and actions of foreigners done to Filipinas irk my sensitivity. I felt sad for Filipinas who tend to give up their ideals in exchange for materialistic desires. If I didn’t react to sassy’s post, I think she will not retract her statement. But then, I appreciate her defense tactic – treating it a joke. Since you have asked about my opinion, I think I’ve stated them; however, I would like to reiterate that I was not generalizing. I didn’t say that having a foreign boyfriend is wrong; in fact, you have tried to push that I have that opinion. One thing for sure, I don’t engross my eyes looking at Filipinas with foreigners, whether the guy is a boyfriend, husband or not, as there are more important things that I need to focus. Jeevan, US Air Base was located in Angeles City before, and that city is full of clubs. More Filipinas are getting married to soldiers back then. DeeDee, you consider yourself an aussie. Why are you affected in this issue? :roll: Jeevan
Yep i know:) but u know the nature of business right? i am not typecasting anyone its just that a few people mentioned this to me.
I have high respect for filipinos as hard workers, and down to earth people, as my company has quite a few of them:)
cheers,
J Donnabelle Is my mom considered a s**t because she remarried to a british guy? oh my what about my 22 years old sister who is a product of their love, was she born an outcast just because she's got an english father??? whew!!! hmmm :( foreigners are pretty attractive, what shall we do filipinas? :lol: SCY Really? In what sense you find all foreigners attractive? Unless you carry the ideals of colonial mentality, and this i can understand. aninox Thank you very much for all your comments/reply regarding my post. I did finalize my package today so I will be looking to move in 2-3 months. I have also contacted some agency where we can hire house helps when we get to Dubai. I will be working in the DIFC area so i'm might have to stay near the area although based on my conversation with the agent who will handle my move, I might have to pony up some money from my pocket because the housing allowance will not be enough to rent/buy 3-bed room space within the area. To those who asked/wondering what my work is; I'm a sr equity/stocks and derivative trader here in wall street with 7 years experience. And some of you are right that package/salary like what I got is not very common specially for Filipinos. Even here in wall street, I can count filipino traders with my 10 fingers...mostly dominated by white americans but I think that it is changing. In fact, a very good friend of mine is a very well followed and respected blogger/trader in the financial community here in US and all over the world. You can visit his blogsite at He is not interested in moving to Dubai but he might visit the place when I get there. burton Well let me be the first to congratulate you! I'm glad you were being serious about the package, I was serious about the tour guide offer! :D SCY Congratulations Aninox! Have a safe trip to Dubai and hope you will enjoy your stay here. Donnabelle Well, there are many ways, do I need to specify? :wink: SCY Sure, go ahead. My pleasure to refute them afterwards. You have to be sure that you think 100 times before joting them down, and make sure it will not reflect your 'category' in an open forum. Mabuhay! Donnabelle
Do I need to specify? Just like the Filipinos they also have their unique qualities that make them attractive :wink: fayz Hmmmm first off congrats aninox, I’m working in a similar field, who knows our paths my cross one day. You’re right in that package, although higher than average is not totally foreign I know people in Dubai making more, sadly I’m not one of them :(
As for the last thread jacking, being someone currently in an interracial relationship in Dubai I found the read pretty interesting. Many people at first glance assume that Mrs. Fayz is after me because of her nationality and mine and my lineage, she also ages way better than I so looks about a decade younger although we’re the same age. The reality is that Mrs. Fayz has whacks more coin than I and when we first started dating her salary was higher than mine. SCY what you know about Filipinas in Dubai is as much as +50 year old Caucasian who likes to brag about owning an island.
^ian^ Could be a mate of Captain Obvious'
SCY Fayz, I am more on the safe side of Filipinos especially Filipinas. Maybe you can't relate to any unfortunate things that happened to us, for you are not Filipino yourself. I don't know how you find this as me bragging Or maybe way too dragging. Dai It may be a harsh reality, but it's a reality that has to be accepted, Filipinas has been stigmatized especially in this matter. And it's a stigma that has been compounded by several actions that Filipinas undertake just to get out of their poor/average life. E.G. - prevalent Filipina japanese entertainers in Japan - Korea mail order brides These are cases that our "Kababayan" willingly accepts for a quick buck. There's a difference between a victim and a "willing" victim. Women who tries to rationalize their actions bye saying that "they have to sacrifice, for them to have a good life" is spouting nothing but bullsh*it! In reality they don't wwant to sacrifice blood, sweat and tears, but just want the easy way out. So is the stigma justified? I reckon it is. But with this fact, it also has to be accepted, that not all interracial relationships is borne out of circumstances like these. So all those born out og mutual like or love, cheers to you for finding your mate! :lol: aninox Fayz, I do hope our paths will cross in DIFC. We might be taking each other's side of the trade already. panaghoy im thinking the kid might have been misinterpreted.. it was like saying will I get a blonde babe when I come to Sweden? - - cant blame her about getting excited, afterall it will be so much different once she gets here. sassy pagdating mo dito, pick ur fave color :wink: as to filipinas working as entertainer, you can also see us all over the globe working as nurse, teacher, nanny, engineers, sales ladies, programmers, seamen etc.. sadly, this because our govt fails to provide jobs and so we find ways to prosper. xero_ yes its true, they do look cheap. :lol: i am filipino, and been living in dubai for 13 years now. i graduated elementary, high school, college here in dxb. and all i can say is that the majority of filipinas who has bf's that arent filipino's just uses them for something (mostly financially) and the foreign bf uses them for their body and companionship. not all really, but most. id say 70%, pretty sad and emabarassing on our part imho :oops: Bleakus there are women who use their bf's for money, it doesnt have to be filipinas. SCY I doubt you are a Filipino -xero. Your posting style alone is way too far from being a Filipino, unless you were educated here and you were taught to spell :arrow: filipino's or bilipino - in this way when referring to us, Filipinos. Dai, MOBs are not just bound for Korea. They're bound to Australia, Europe and mostly the US (as per USCIS research). There are Russian MOBs also. I actually had no idea about MOB not until i was able to pick (from the fish bowl that our professor passed around before the semester starts) the subject for my research in my sociology course way back college days. Most of the girls who they considered to be MOB are clueless that they're being called "MOB" with derogaroty connotations. Researchers refuted that there are no clear boundaries as to where we can consider a female marrying a foriegn bf whom they met online be MOB. As an advocate of feminist ideals, I was broken hearted doing a term paper about MOB. panaghoy
this is the first time i heard about filipinas being taken advantage financially- - there is no way u can get milk from chicken. what i mean is an average wage earner will not throw away money. unless she is rich which id say only 10% or even less.
i dont understand why u feel sad and embarrased about body and companionship? arent we all needed that?? what is sad and embarassing is not having one at all!!! DeeDee i think he means the other way around...i.e. filipinas using their bf's for money. Not totally convinced on that. I think its moreso that filipinas are a little naiive. burton Heh!I'll say it again...
You see some old European guy walking down the road with a twenty something Filipina, we all think the same thing. But for that matter, you think exactly the same if it's a 40 something Lebanese guy with a young dishy Lebanese girl. Or (for example) a 50 something British expat with his Russian girlfriend who is old enough to be his daughter...
In the US, it's the same deal with young Mexican ladies (I mean from actually across the border) going out with/married to older American guys, or even the same age for that matter...
The same sh!t, the same feelings go around...
There is a hell of a lot lot of resentment, feelings of jealousy (yes, jealousy) and ownership surrounding many of these multi-racial relationships. The men feel resentful towards the foreign guys for pinching 'their' women (c'mon, this is textbook!) and the women assume feelings of superiority to protect their own virtue...
Mail-order brides, ridiculous disparities in age - yes, it is suspect, it is embarassing. But sometimes, you also have to wonder about the people who spend their entire time tutting away at happy blissful mixed race couples, heaving a collective sigh over why 'these kinds of girls' can't 'stick with their own'!
The psycho-analysis cuts both ways and can raise just as many questions... xero_
who made you the forum grammar police on being filipino? :lol: i was born in philz but grew up here like i said, pero ndi ibig sabhin ndi ako marunong mag tagalog. its not actually bilipino like you said, its more like felipini lmao :wink:
komosta ka kah-bahyan!? lolol.
seriously though, just go to the fish market and in karama (small shops) and see how many salesman can speak tagalog there. and if you ask why they know how, theyll say coz they got filipina gfs. :roll: mga uto-uto tlga karamihan ng pinay zzz... SCY I find it awkward for a self-confessed Filipino unable to spell Filipinos correctly. Filipinos or Filipino’s, you should learn to know the difference. Better yet, please have a quick review about the usage of apostrophe before posting your banter. Anyway, I am keeping my eye out on you. ~back to work~ xero_
wow forum grammar police too? :lol: this is an online forum, who cares if you make spelling and grammar mistakes? if this was an essay for a college report id be sure to run it in ms word spell checker. but then again its not, so stfu and go back to work :roll: :P
edit: i can picture you right now behind your desk wearing thick glasses sufferin from depression coz instead of being a news writer that you always dreamed of, you ended up working as a secretary in a company that sells second hand furniture. SCY Your attitude is too bruteques to be a Filipino. In other words, you’re a quack. And mind you, I don’t wear specs and not a secretary. Try again. xero_
quack? thats somethin new... isnt that the sound that ducks make? :lol: are you a........ cashier in mcdonalds? perhaps a........ hmmm.... a saleslady in mall of the emirates? lmao, jk steriotyping my own race thats all. btw seeing you are the spelling and grammar police, can you please explain to me what a " bruteques" is? do you mean grotesque or summit? or maybe brute ques?? ms./mr. perfection aint so perfect after all huh?
dont start a flame war, you wont win :twisted: :lol: SCY Not worth a conversation... ~stands up and walks away~ fayz both of you be adults and don't post after me. thank you. ^ian^ Next Round: Who is more Canadian than the Canadian above! Bring it on! Bleakus i think we should forget about the hatred between us and sing a song........ or come on monday and play some bowling Donnabelle
Exactly...well Filipinas are low maintenance girlfriends :lol: Bleakus ^^i dont believe that, my x had class SCY Thank you SmartD for bringing the thread back to this forum. Burton, that was a good observation. Filipinas used to be conservative not until the US regime. But it's unfair to blame the US for bringing in liberalism in our country. Filipinas registering in a www site i.e considered to be 'MOB sites' is frown upon by other Filipinos. It is not just about age disparities. I can see hedonism, materialitic desires, product of socio-economic problems etc. (Take note: This doesn't apply to everyone). Most of the Filipina women who tend to marry a foreigner, who's way too older than them, are 'economically' challenged back home. And most of the foriegn men getting married to Filipinas are divorce. If the guy is US citizen, he is either a soldier, an ex-soldier or a retiree. Quite interesting isn't it? Pikoy
SCY,
Im honestly tired of your babblin and your opinions...
may i ask where you get your "facts" from?
your qualifications for saying or posting what you have just mentioned and your other posts ?
theres a fine line between being opinionated and being preachy....
filipinas are this , filipinos are that, your grammar is wrong, your spelling is wrong, your apostrophe use is ... blah blah blah blah....
nuff said. :roll: xero_
lol exactly. :D studstar there are around 200,000 or so filipinos in dubai, i reckon a number of them are here :) Jeevan
wont agree on that one :lol:
have seen many friends with Filipino Gfs and did that make a hole in their pocket :lol: SCY Pikoy, You can check on USCIS. If not, internet is there to help you do the archives of more valid articles. Unfortunately, i don't have ample time to copy-paste all those articles here. One doesn't need "qualifications" to voice and/or form an opinion. Also, you are not obligated to read my posts, but it is easier to skip and be ignored. You have all the options, so feel free to choose. yujinn
Oh... bash the pinoy men now huh? I wouldnt go that route if I were you, miss "Paul". You wanna know how most filipino men think about most filipinas here in dubai? dunebasher hi guys..new on this thread... I sense some negative vibe here just by scanning on a few of the posts. can we lighten up a bit? oh yes...replying to the question. Pinoy ako. :) cheers.
