Philippines	Carol Misses tabo	QUOTE (honeybadger @ Jul 24 2008, 08:50 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Being a Kano, I was surprised to find tabos hanging all the bathrooms here in the Philippines. I had no idea why they were there, so assumed they were for washing my feet....which I did! NOW, I know the REAL purpose! :-) The Badger this reminds me of my fiance.. the time i got home and showed him the tabo i got from the asian store.. he was like.."what's that for???????????" with the smile on his face.. and so i explained it to him.. and then he answered.. " maybe, i should see how you use it.."	envy_me	Female	Philippines	2008-07-23 23:44:00

Philippines	Thyroid problem	QUOTE (matchbox @ Jul 25 2008, 12:53 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi, We have a concern, my fiance has this thyroid problem. At first it was a really minimal problem but she decided to check it out with the doctor if it is normal or what. And they did a blood test on her showing normal values except a little bit high on the thyroid hormone level. So the doctor prescribed her a drug to take everyday and to go back in a month..So when she went back her thyroid hormone level is now low and shows the thyroid grew a little bit, so it was a big concern that the doctor told her that she needed surgery. My fiance is really scared and she doesn't really want to have a surgery because she felt it would make her feel ugly. So she decided to go to another hospital and different doctor who really specializes on thyroid problem, and the doctor told her that she was fine that she doesn't needed the surgery. He said to stop taking the medication because it is what causing her thyroid to be higher and lower and making it more complicated. He told her that the doctor should have never even prescribed her a medication with just one test showing one little abnormal values of TH. We were so upset about that, I felt like suing the doctor and the hospital but my fiance didn't wanted to do it even if she was very upset about it. She just didn't want to spend money and waste time over it. She is just happy that she went to a different doctor and won't be needing a surgery. The doctor tells her she might be Eurothyroid, and just need to have a healthy diet and stop taking any medication that would upset the thyroid level and then have a blood test again to check her levels. My question is, if she take the medical exam in St.Lukes, would that be a problem for her if she does have a thyroid problem and shows abnormal level. Will she be denied? Would it be fixable such maybe treating her and then take the medical exam and then can she passed? So with her having thyroid problem i guess it is best that she take the medical exam before the interview date, am I right? Were just so worried about this. I'm hoping it's no problem. hi.. i got aminor thyroid prob.. but i passed the medical exam.. im sure she'll be fine too..	envy_me	Female	Philippines	2008-07-24 22:23:00

Philippines	What has your adjustment to life in the USA been like?	QUOTE (USA1138 @ Jul 25 2008, 03:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for the replys so far. you're welcome.. QUOTE (DARUMA07 @ Jul 25 2008, 06:27 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have to speak for Ruchie because she is not home... In all Honesty! The first year will be rough, but that is in all relationships. Not just American/Filipino.... I think Homesickness would be the most difficult problem she will face... You will have to really be supportive and understanding for her. You have to remember that she left her family thousands of miles away and now she is in this strange country. I remember one of the first things that Ruchie noticed about Americans was How Blunt and Outspoken we are...... I told her not to take things personal or be too sensitive ... You will have your ups as well as your downs, but with hardwork and understanding you will make the transition alot easier. I wouldn't let what the travel agent get to you. Don't let anyone put doubts in your head. It's only going to give you negative thoughts of your Fiancee or wife. I wish you both Luck, but remember "Give her the benefit of the doubt".... i totally agree with you! Edited by envy_me, 26 July 2008 - 12:09 AM.	envy_me	Female	Philippines	2008-07-26 00:09:00

Philippines	What has your adjustment to life in the USA been like?	What has it been like for you here in the USA? - really different from back at home.. i mean the culture is different.. For those of you that have been here for about a year now, is everything the same for you? Is your love still as strong? - N/A, ive been here only for a month.. What if any problems have you had in your relationship and how have you overcome them? - communication! we try to talk things out and never go to sleep or end the day with a bad note.. What do you miss back home? - ALL! honestly, i miss all things esp my family.. How long after you have been here did you wait until you returned back home to visit? Was it just as hard to leave the second time to come back to the USA? - N/A What did you think life would be like here in the USA before you came here and now that you are here what do you think? What would you tell someone life is like here? - before i came here, i thought it would be much easier since il be with my SO but then i kinda got culture shocked.. now that im here, im still learning things and tryin to deal with things as much as i can.. i would tell someone that life is different here compared to back at home.. i mean here in the US, culture is very different, people are very straight and direct, everything's moving fast, and that you cant be so soft and sensitive here that's for sure.. but then US is a very nice place with nice peeps.. Do you find our foods to be the same or totally different? - no! almost the same, sometimes even better.. Has any of his/her friends offended you in anyway and how did you handle it? - no, and i dnt think that would happen, my SO's friends are nice.. and i hope they stay like that.. Have you had any racial issues? - hell no! maybe culture issues.. hahaha! Is your husband/wife everything you had hoped for? Has anything changed? - yes he is the one i ever hope for, even more.. and yes! there are changes, we became more close and we try to love each other more each day now that we're together.. What have you enjoyed the most about being here in the USA? What have you not enjoyed? - im enjoyin everything here in the US with my SO.. and i think there's nothin not to enjoy especially when you're with you're loved one.. with what the agent said.. i think that he's just pickin or maybe just seein the bad side.. oh well, everyone's entitled to his or her opinion so let him be.. i mean for me who really cares abt his or her opinion.. everything in this world is abt risk taking.. you gotta do what you gotta do to be with you're loved one..
