PhilippinesRacist neighbor ???

Can you be racist and tolerant? :wow: Yay, logic.



Seems you respect her as much as she respects you. So why the surprised face?

You seems like the type of mother that would let her child run amock in a nice restaurant, disturbing everyone's meals and not undestanding why there is a problem.

And btw, I don't care if a child screams in pleasure or because it is mad, I care that it screams. You didn't even try to make it stop.



It doesn't, it is just fancy to call someone a racist nowadays.


Excuse me ???? Now you are judging me ??? LOl. You are a I.D.I.O.T. Not gonna explain my self to a low life like you. I posted what happened, and want to hear some experiences of other people, not a judgement from a scam like you. But like I said again. YOu can't control anybody's action towards you.

It's not a surprise to me that she hates us.... What surprised me is when she slammed her windows and shut the blinds when my 4 months old daughter was making all those noise that she can hear from her house. But I guess your right, what happened today shouldn't also be a surprise to me, knowing that she is a nasty b**tch. She dont care even when my daughter is just 4 months old lol.

PhilippinesRacist neighbor ???

Why? Because I think your rights end the moment mine start being disregarded? The humanity! We live in a sociery and we should respect each other - and yes, that includes not driving a loud car in the middle of the night, and not allowing your child to throw a temper tantrum in the middle of a shop.

Do you want to scream every night from the top of your lungs? I'm sure there is a tundra or a desert for you out there. If you are in the city, expect to be fined.


I would be may get mad too If it's in the middle of the night. Luckily to us our daughter dont really fuss alot, once in awhile like what all baby is. But I'm not gonna cover my baby's mouth with my hand or shut all the windows coz I be worried that our old fat bitter B*tch neighbor will get upset ! She's no queen of england nor a queen of the neighborhood.

PhilippinesRacist neighbor ???

I hate people with louds motorcycles/cars, absolutely hate them - they are so loud they wake me up at least 4-5 times a night, and I suffer from insomnia too. They are so loud you actually have to cover your eats. I wish they would all crash into each other and spill their petty useless brains on the sidewalk.


LOL

I personally don't like Harley motorcycles because of the fact that they are too loud (Harley lovers please don't hate me :)) but your neighbor seemed to be angry about anything(motorcycle, baby crying, loud Mexicans). Don't let her get to you, she probably has a miserable life.

I cannot really tell if my neighbors are racist or not. I have only been here for 4 months and I barely go outside the house.

P.S: Your baby is so pretty :)


Aawww. Thanks !

PhilippinesRacist neighbor ???
I'm living here now for 4 years and I'm not really friends of any our neighbors, which is I honestly dont care. I am not in this country for them LOL. But we say typical " Hi and Hello and how are you ? :-h " everytime I seen them outside of the driveway. But we have this one neighbor across the street that so different. Never ever talk to her even ONCE. She is living by her self, driving BMW car and about in her late 50's. My husband told me that the first day that he moved in this house, this woman yelled at those mexican guys that he hired to help him move the furnitures, coz they talked loud and joked with each other. My husband also have a Harley Davidson bike that he ride during summer time only. It's understandable everytime she shut her garage, front door and windows of his house when my husband ride his bike coz it's really loud.

We have a 2 story house, and its a nice day here today. So I open our windows in our room, happened that it's facing also in to the windows of her room. Anyway, our 4 months old daughter already start rolling over from back to her belly, but can't roll yet from belly to her back. I dont want to leave my baby in alone for more than 5 minutes when she's up coz I am worried that she may start rolling over and god forbid burry her face in a mattress. So anyway, I took a shower and I put my baby in her bouncer and took her with me in a bathroom. We have this glass door in the shower room so she can actually see me while I was taking a shower. She started screaming and babbling alot and loudly, and lot more of screaming through the entire time that I was in the shower. She love water, so thought she may also want to take a bath or shower with me. SO I took her out of her bouncer and gave her a bath in her small bathtub in same bathroom. She scream more coz now she's happy and enjoyed the water. So when we finally done got out the shower and dried up, I put down my baby in our bed, and I went to her room to grab a clothes for her. My daughter still babling and still screaming, not a crying scream, but a happy playmode scream lol. So I guess our neighbor across the street had enough of my baby, She slammed her windows down, and shut the blinds ! ####### ! I have no control of her action and dont give a f**ck if she hates us, but with my 4 months old daughter ???
Sorry, just venting ! I guess I am upset... even if I call my mother about it, she wont understand. Coz in my country almost all neighbors there is like your all extended family lol. I may will just sugest to my husband to accept the offer the job that he got in Albany, NY and MOVE.

I never understood why our Govt spends so much money on diversity training, affirmative action , eeo etc etc, then makes sure they group people in all those neat little boxes. I think it just creates more division.

We always tell to people what is the mix of our baby, like example; my daughter is a mix if a filipino-american a.k.a "fil-am" and born in United States. But what about filling up a forms or getting a passport, what race do you put for her if the choices of races is only, ( Caucasian, black, asian, asian islander and hispanic ).

PhilippinesDoes your wife know how to swim?

I had actually heard the stereotype that most Filipinos don't know how to swim

. Well, my fiancee didn't know how when we first met, but I and a friend of her's have helped her in learning. She has come far and continuing to get better.



LOL seriously ??? I didn't know that. As from the Philippines thought most filipino's know how to swim specially that we are sorouded by 7,100 something Islands in Philippines "high tide or low tide" :rofl: . Anyway my father is a fisherman and we lived 30ft away from the water, so I learned to swim since I was 5. I met very few people that dont know how swim in the Philippines.... "few" not most.. so I guess what you heard is probably a B.S :P .

PhilippinesPassport Renewal and Reporting of Marriage..
Thanks for the links guys. Does it really necessary to report your marriage at the same time for renewing passport ? Specially if you are going to change your last name to your married name ? Or I can just re-new my passport now and just report our marriage later ? It just so much going on with us right now. If the report of marriage can wait, I just want to re-new my passport first for right now.

PhilippinesMiddle name

SSI here did the change with my wife's middle name without batting an eye; she dropped her mom's middle name and "old" her surname is now her middle name as she took my last name for her last name. Same as she would have done had we married in the Phils.


Lucky her. That's what I wanted to do when I applied for Social Security before. But the woman said I can't just change my middle name just like that. I have to go to court to able change my middle name.
John&JuvyNot TellingPhilippines2012-06-11 13:13:00
PhilippinesMiddle name
We will stick to her 2 names since I already have a problem with my maiden name as my middle name :girlwerewolf2xn: . I know in the Philippines we use our mother's maiden name as our middle name when we are still single, then we just change it when we become married and use our father's last name to our new middle name. Too complicated, specially that you can't do that here in the United States, You can't change your middle name just like that here. Now I'm still using my mother's maiden name as my middle name since that's what it is in my GC and in my Social Security.

PhilippinesReport her or Not?

You omit a few items. Am i correct in that the wife is still in the philippines, waiting for immigration?
You also don't admit to how you found out this information, Unless the wife, maria, tells you first hand, the information is gossip, or 2nd hand.


I think the situation is too far gone for you to act of kindness towards him. The husband, thru his courtship, engagement and marriage has failed to see evidence of her possible cheating. Any input/help? from you would appear to be an act of sabotage to their marriage. Regardless whether she is cheating or not cheating, news of infidelity(fact or fictional) destroys trust. Trust takes forever to build but a second to destroy. If this woman is as you stated, the husband will either recognize in the future and act on it, or decide to live with it.

On your side. its a sad note to hear this farce playing out and it hurts everyone to hear of intentional schemes of scamming for money.

I find many philipino's are competitive with neighbors. My question for you is: Were you also playing 'competitive-neighbor' when you told her initially of all the material things your Kano provided you? Do you feel any remorse for possibly giving her the idea of fishing for Kano?

My wife is still in the philippines. She has to deal daily with competitive neighbors. Many of her neighbors ask. How much do i give her? How much is he worth? She, in her better wisdom, gives no details regarding her allowance and benefits of our marriage.



To answer your question. Unless you know first hand the information. Dont act on it. Secondly, since you dont know the husband. Dont act on it here, even if its first hand.


:thumbs: Totally...!
John&JuvyNot TellingPhilippines2012-04-30 09:54:00
PhilippinesReport her or Not?
Honestly, I would probably just mind my own business, specially if I'm not affected of to their marriage situation. But if the husband gonna come to me and ask me personally, then I will tell him coz I'm not gonna lie for her :devil: . But seriously, for me it's too complicated to get involve to other couples marriage, specially with the problem like this. Just my thought.

PhilippinesIs this typical for a Filipina?

I know there are people in this forum, who may have good intentions,and want to provide comments or feedback, based on their personal ideals and experiences. But I sincerely want to better understand my fiancee, a Filipina, and would most appreciate feedback from other Filipinas.

First a little background information. I am a US citizen. I come from a middle class, and large family. It's typical for my family and I, to talk about our dreams, goals, and plans for the future. My fiancee comes from a poor, and large family. She and I can talk about most any topic, from our past, to what is happening in our daily life now. But when we get to the topic of future planning, goals, dreams,aspirations, my fiancee really has no input.

She told me she rarely talks about her goals and dreams, to anyone,including her own family. She said she has some dreams, goals, but she just keeps it to herself. I know she has had some disappointments in her life – failed past relationship, to other things she has failed at, but this is a part of her life that she has a difficult time opening up to me about.

As a couple, I think it is fine that both share with each other, their goals, dreams, and aspirations, as a way to better understand each other. I do not know why she is so guarded about this topic, but if I had to guess, I would say part of the problem is she comes from a poor family, where her focus is her current life and just day to day survival, and perhaps because of that pressure, she cannot allow herself to dream, or even think about her future.

I love my fiancee very much. As I stated before, we can talk about most topics, and I would love for her to feel comfortable enough to open up to me about her dreams, goals, and aspirations.

I realize I am writing this from the perspective of a US citizen, and that I may have a blind spot. That is why I would truly appreciate some insight, from other Filipinas, especially those who have lived similar lives, to help me better understand.

Am I missing something?

Anything I should do, or not do?

Anything I should do differently?

Your sincere insight will be most appreciated.


Maybe for now she just happy to be with you and enjoy the minute of every momment of it lol. Especially if she just got here in the US. Also there is alot more of adjustment for her probably than to focus of your quistion of what she want in the future. Who knows, maybe actually in her mind is what she wants is you to tell her if what's your plan in your both future together than asking her what's her plan alone. Why not try to tell her if what's your plan and goals for the both of you, then ask her for her opinion and if she have other more better idea about it. Also give her plenty of time and be more open minded and patience about her. She will really going to need that. Not easy to adjust in a new place without your old friends and famillies around. Took me almost 2 years before I totally adjusted in lifestyle in this country. Goodluck to both of you :) .

PhilippinesFilipina temper ! How you control it .
Well, I'm bringing this topic coz I am curious if how do you act and handle some of your situation when you are in the middle of a heating arguement with your spouse just because of his comment or act about something, that for you it was insulting and offensive and hurt your ego and filipina your pride. But according to them.. they didn't say anything like that or didn't mean it that way. But anyway, other than that... there still some fights here and there no matter how we all tried to avoid it. How do you handle it when you are very emotionally hurt by him ? Specially that they have a law here about domestic violence :lol: .

For almost 3 years of marriage I think I learned a bit of how to control my self not to be angry, coz it is more harder for me to control my self when I'm already angry :blush: . there will be a toilet paper, spatula or a pillow flying across the room if I'm already in that point. Sometimes there still some arm pinching and kicking him out of bed when he still chose to sleep in the same bed with me. Imbarassing.

How some of you do handle your fights ? Are you one of those who easy to let go and keep it to your self or you are the type of person that have a guts to say to your husband the "How dare you to talk to me like that" ! lol.

No judgement here please.... we are all human and nobody is perfect. Not even a relationship :D .

PhilippinesWhy do Filipinos don't greet each other?
I work in a hotel, meet lots of different people from different places everyday including filipino's. But honestly sometimes it is hard for me to tell if they really are Filipino's, Chinese or Thai... I have to hear them speak first before I can tell that their filipino's. Some of them still speak english but I can still tell their filipino coz they have the same accent like mine :P lol I think. Then I just start asking them if their from Philippines, and that's how the short conversation goes, like if where they live here in US and if how long they been here :).

Probably same situation with other filipino's and maybe not for some, or maybe they just having a bad day lol..... who know's. Just do your thing and dont be bother by other peoples action. You dont know them, they dont know you.. end of the story lol.
