hi wanna share also..
My fiance love to eat dried fish,pork adobo,afritada,humba na medyo parang preto type para di masyadong oily and his favorite of course lumpia......He doesnt like to eat ballot..But ballot is my favorite though..hheehehe..He doesnt like to eat eggplant and embutido coz i remember he told me it look like nasty, but he never knew that when his here in our house my mama served him embutido,and when he asked me if we served him embutido i said yes..he said what?i didnt noticed that i said coz mama sliced it..heheehhehe..And that's true my fiance also didn't used spoon,he used fork.I want to learn in using fork also but it seems so hard for me,parang di ako nabubusog....And he doesn't like to eat spicy food...I really feel pitty on him when i served him a hot sauce..I was the one who made the sauce..I didn't know that it was super hot for him..His lips burn and he couldn't eat...But i ask sorry to him..So its okay after......

That's all....

PhilippinesMNL airport departure tax?
QUOTE (Bob and Liezl @ Nov 14 2009, 11:49 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
When I visited the Ph I paid airport fee 7 or 8 hundred pesos at my departure. It seems that there is a higher
fee for Ph nationals leaving the country. A web search told me that this higher fee is "usually" included in the
air fare. Anyone around that has recently departed the Philippines who has experience with this?
Just trying to figure out what she will have to pay.
Thanks in advance for any heip!


travel tax is 1,650 something pesos terminal fee is 750

QUOTE (charlie&pam @ Nov 16 2009, 09:15 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Has any one ever used a consultant for their interview? My Pam said that she met a family friend at her brothers wake that stated this is what he does for a living. He prepares people for their interview and makes sure all is in order for 3k pesos......I told her that it would be a waste of money since all the paperwork already done and she has all she needs for the interview, medical, and class.......so we decided to let the people on VJ make the decission for us.....What do you think? Should she do it or are we good to go with everything already in?


never heard of a consultant for the interview that is a scam!

for those who are done with their interview and got their visa...can you please give me knowledge or any comments or suggestions in our flight schedule?

PhilippinesPossible interview questions?
QUOTE (Bryan+Nelia 4life @ Nov 18 2009, 01:50 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Not sure if this has been brought up before but is their a list of questions people were asked while at the interview? This way i can drill them into my Fiance's head, I mean don't get me wrong we know eachother very well, but I would hate for her to get stuck on an obscure question. Maybe if we get a good list going we can have it stickied so others would be able to benefit from this too, there's never harm in being prepared!


posible questions are:

who is your petitioner?
how old he/she?
does he/she have kids?
many kids does he/she have?
whats his/her job?
what his/her parents name?
how old are they?

basically its all about you

I have experienced something similiar when shipping something to PI.

My rule now, is I try to just bring it with me on the plane and not have to mess with customs and duty

I think another way to get around it , is to send a Balikbayan box.



TCO, I feel exactly the same way on this. BalikBox is the way to go: Send 85Lbs of ####### for about $60bucks, and never had a problem with it getting there (yes,it does take 6 weeks, so what), and never had these rip-off taxes and duties to pay. ANd how freekin' embarrassing is that to get a call from your girl saying that they told her to pay a tax on what you send her. For a lap top, iPod or Cell Phone or camera, just give Pinay the pesos for her to buy it there, or bring it with you on next rip. Less than romantic, yes, but she will soon forget that and just enjoy using these communication devices to talk to you with. Let's wise up people. In LDR's you gotta go with what works, and what is practical sometimes. Just keepin' it real!


i wonder though if there's somewhere here where I can do the balikbayan box.. what company is it under? tried googling it.. nothing came up for our town.. the closest is philly and that's 2 hrs away.. oh well


just find your nearest location http://www.lbcexpress.com/web/

PhilippinesWhat's for dinner on Thanksgiving Day?
QUOTE (muñequita linda @ Nov 25 2009, 11:48 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Will it be the traditional American menu of turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, green beans, corn bread and pumpkin pie? Or, will it be adobo, pancit, calderreta, rice, bibingka and puto?

This will be my first Thanksgiving dinner ever and I am looking forward to it. I think that, in addition to the 20lb Butterball and its trimmings, a Filipino dish or two will also be on the table. My husband and I are both Ilocanos; hence, pinakbet and pinapaitan might likewise be in the works. Some of my husband's friends and co-workers will be at the house and they'll probably enjoy the Filipino delights.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving Day, everyone!

How close is it to Dayton, Ohio? I will be in Dayton in August. Hope I can meet you around and be friends. :-)

By the way, why is your POE in Detroit? Can't it be in Dayton or columbus? Does it mean that my POE would be in Detroit as well? please let me know! Thanks!


It depends on the airline you travel with...I dont believe any international carrier has their hub in Dayton or Columbus...the airport in Dayton is way too small for one thing. She was probably on a Northwest flight like I was, and had a connecting flight to Cinci.

Anyhow, happy travels! Get driving as soon as you can so you can explore the area. There will be a new outlet mall opening this August (supposedly) in Monroe (it's between Dayton and Cincinnati, so you guys might want to meet there hehe) good.gif

Who knows I might be there too LOL



I will also have a connecting flight, which is probably in L.A or Chicago, so does it mean that L.A or chicago will be my port of entry? Thanks!


YES, definately LA or CHICAGO any state na mag first land ang plane mo will be your POE goodluck good.gif

I did schedule the interview for Jan 19th but I never received an NVC letter and she never received a letter from the USEM. They did allow it on the phone but are you sure she doesn't need to bring any documents indicating she is eligible for an interview?


K1 and immigrant applicant only present their noa2 and their MNL case # if u can see on my signature i got the appointment letter from USEM its because my papers were expedited the NVC didnt asked for my AOS and stuff they sent my papers right away to USEM once they got the ds3032

I'd like to get her to go to St. Lukes on Jan 7th which is a Thursday...and stay through Friday in case she has a follow-up. Think it's safe to do that those 2 days?


medical is only 2 days the first day is physical examination the 2nd day is vaccination
