Philippines	Manila Embassy Visa Class 2006-2007	QUOTE (sunandmoon @ Aug 31 2009, 06:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just wondering how members are doing back when we were going thru the K-1 Visa process. hard to believe it's been 2 1/2 years since my wife arrived in the USA. I can remember it like yesterday when she and her daughter landed at SFO. there was been some ups and downs, but it has been a fantastic 2 1/2 years. searching for a job was frustrating for my wife, but she was able to get a job as an Activity Director at a Skilled Nursing Facility. her getting a driver's license was an adventure. we've applied to remove conditions, with Biometric Appointment in a couple of weeks. hope everyone else is doing fine... We are doing good Roy... Ruchie got her first job at a hospital here in town. Mathew started kindergarten a couple of weeks ago. We applied to lift conditions July 27th and already had the Biometrics appointment. Amazing how time flies!!!!! BTW. Ruchie still doesn't have her Drivers License...

Philippines	Festivals in the Philippines	Pintados Kasadyaan Festival of Tacloban City The Pintados-Kasadyaan Festival is a merry-making event that lasts a whole month. Its highlights include: the Leyte Kasadyaan Festival of Festivals, the Pintados Festival Ritual Dance Presentation and the "Pagrayhak" Grand Parade. * History 1668: the Spaniards came to the Visayas and found the islands to be inhabited by heavily tattooed men and women, whom they called Pintados (name of native warriors who were tattooed as marks of courage, either from fighting or from surviving its arduous process). The excessive tattoos on a nativeís body frightened the missionaries but as time passed they eventually learned that the tattoos are a part of the nativesí lives. 1888: The missionaries from Spain brought the Child Jesus image known as "El Capitan" to the island. Spanish missionaries brought the Santo NiÒo image to Leyte where it attracted the natives to embrace the new form of worship, abandoning their ancient nature worship. 1986: Civic-minded businessmen and entrepreneurs based in Tacloban City founded the Pintados Foundation Inc. The foundation began organizing religious cultural activities in honor of SeÒor Santo NiÒo, thus marking the advent of the Pintados Festival in June 29, 1987. As the advent of modernization came the tradition of tattooing has been replaced but not forgotten, for the festival serves as the reminder of the bravery of the Pintados. Today the festival is now called the Leyte Pintados-Kasadyaan Festival, also known as the Festival of Festivals. (Kasadyaan means merriment and jollity in Visaya). * The Festival The Festival has its own unique flavor, recalling the Pre-Spanish history of the natives, retelling various stories from wars to folk religions. Perhaps the most awaited part of the festival is the native street dance: dancers resembling the pintados fill the streets of the city, adorned with battle gear to mimic the warriors in the Pre-Spanish period, tattooed with brilliant colors. The dance depicts a clear picture of the people who once lived in Leyte. Accompanied by the sounds of native instruments the performers dance their way from the Balayuan Towers and going throughout the city. Awestruck spectators eagerly follow the warriors from the start to the end of the parade. At the end of the festival everyone is guaranteed to have smiles and joyful memories to bring back home. <script type="text/javascript"> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> <script>google_protectAndRun("ads_core.google_render_ad", google_handleError, google_render_ad);	DARUMA07	Male	Philippines	2009-09-01 18:51:00

Philippines	Need Prayers...	QUOTE (ErosandSally @ Oct 11 2009, 09:50 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My thoughts and prayers are with you.....I knew exactly how felling right now and what is going through your mind .... i have lost mine before she even got here. Maybe some professional counseling will help.....even if does not... at least you have tried your best and will have no regrets later. Unfortunately "some PINOY" do not realize how hard is to make it in the USA.....they have dreams and fantasies that do not match with the harsh reality of living in USA, where only the strongest survive. Hollywood and other medias should be blamed for create a false impression built on a house of cards.... The family and close relatives support that were used while they were back at home, is nowhere to be find here or almost non existent in the great land of ours. Boredom and depression set in for the newcomer....culture adjustments take time. Some people live here for 10-20-30 years and never really fully adjusted to it. Be strong, keep you cool, keep a clear mind and put aside the emotions... at later time decide what is best of both of you....sometime prolonging the inevitable may just prolong the agony on both side. Very well said!! Hope things are getting better for you too....	DARUMA07	Male	Philippines	2009-10-12 06:07:00

Philippines	TROPHY HUNTERS	QUOTE (RickMj @ Dec 13 2008, 08:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dont Hunt nor do fishing but i can share this it's a good laugh:)) A woman goes into Wal-mart to buy a rod and reel. She doesn't know which one to get, so she just grabs one and goes over to the register. There is a Wal-mart associate standing there with dark glasses on. She asks, "Excuse me sir. Can you tell me anything about this rod and reel?" He says, "Ma'am I'm blind, but if you drop it on the counter I can tell you everything you need to know about it from the sound that it makes." She didn't believe him, but dropped it all on the counter anyway. He said "That's a 6' graphite rod with Zebco 202 reel and 10 lb. test line. It's a good all around rod and reel, and it's $20." She says, "That's amazing that you can tell all that just by the sound of it dropping on the counter. I think it's what I'm looking for, so I'll take it." He walks behind the counter to the register. And in the meantime, the woman farts. At first she is embarrassed, but then realizes that there is no way he could tell it was she. Being blind, he wouldn't know that she was the only person around. He rings up the sale and says, "That will be $25.50." She asks, "But didn't you say it was $20?" He says, "Yes ma'am, the rod and reel is $20, the duck call is $3, and the catfish stink bait is $2.50!" .........	DARUMA07	Male	Philippines	2008-12-14 08:50:00
