Philippines	credit card debts	How many times did your husband visit you in the Philippines? Round trip air fair costs around like a thousand bucks. Hotels are cheap anyways if you look for a good price. And dental care is cheap in the Philippines compared to the US. One dentist offered to fix all my teeth for $200.

Philippines	What did you get your sweetheart for Valentines ?	We cant afford much right now since I lost my job (but start a new job February 22, thanks to God). I dont think she got me anything, which is fine, especially with the baby coming. I have the daily Valentine of her just being here with me to share each day with now. I got her a card though that says exactly everything about her that i feel, what she does for me, how I love her. And... her favorite flowers are tulips, and favorite color is pink, so I got her some potted pink tulips, 6 in all, with 4 blooming and 2 coming along. When we went to bed tonight she asked me if there was anything I had to do that I would have to get up for (since I usually let her fall asleep and then take care of business here, since she sleeps too early for me). And I said no... But then was real quiet to get her to go to sleep so that I could sneak out to get the flowers. I wrote in the card when I got home and have the flowers and card on the bookcase, with a small light on beside them, so when she gets up in the morning she will see them.

We did it the Filipino way, her Father's name becomes her middle name. But, she did not like the abreviation, for Maria, to be her first name, so we changed it to Marie on her greencard.

The thing is the previous names I used for other documents before I got approved (like bank, WIC, insurance, etc.) was the middle name using my father's last name.. Should I change them all again? How about my signature?? Now I will have 3 signatures --- my old maiden name signature (mom & dad's last name used), the one where I use as mddle name my father's last name, and now the one using as middle name my mom's last name! so confusing! I hesitate everytime I am asked of my name now trying to recall which one I gave them the last time! I changed my first for some reasons. I remember in the AOS forms we filled out something like "The name you want to appear in your green card".	Rocky_nBullwinkle	Female	Philippines	2009-10-24 13:42:00

Philippines	so what do we do when Obama pushes through the imigration bill	If our President gives citizenship to the illegals, should we have a class action suit to get our money back since we did things the right way? What is my VJ's family views? Okay, Chuck and Spam. What do you care? Why does it matter to you so much? You like lawyers, or something, cuz they are the only ones that will profit from crying over spilled milk.	Rocky_nBullwinkle	Female	Philippines	2010-04-30 09:35:00
Philippines	How did your fiance propose to you in the Philippines?	Mr. Bill popped the question by asking me so much questions in Tagalog. I was really impressed not knowing that he has a cheat sheet. lol. These are the questions he asked me: "May gusto ka ba sa akin?" "Gusto kita makasama habangbuhay" "Ikaw lamang ang aking iibigin magpakailanman" "Puwede ba kita maging kasintahan?" Later on after more emails, he asked me this one. "Kailan tayo magpapakasal?"

TexPamp As soon as I get to the USA, I expect my husband to expect that I know how to set the dining table with his favorite Ilocano goodies - pinapaitan and pinakbet. I also expect him to expect that I join him in his love for the outdoors, especially golf and fishing. But the most important is that I expect him to expect that I will never say “Not tonight, honey, because I got a terrible headache”! I expect not to fail his expectations.

Alokon is a tree bearing flowers. The flowers -- called Alokon. It's very good with dinengdeng. It's called Baeg or Himbabao. Check this site for the alokon. http://bucaio.blogsp...006/03/bag.html	Rocky_nBullwinkle	Female	Philippines	2009-08-27 18:48:00

Hi Marie, Maybe they sell chili leaves at Asian store there? Dito kasi sa WA, halos lahat nang Filipino ingredients mabibili mo dito. Do you live near the SeaFood City? Baka meron sila doon. But you can also use malunggay or spinach leaves. Yummy... ~ Chinook Hi Chinook! Yeah they do sell dahon ng sili in Seafood City, but it's 50 miles away. Don't know when husband and I will go to Vallejo, but the chili leaves are on the top of my shopping list now. There's an Asian store in Santa Rosa, but I don't see any dahol ng sili. Just the papaya which cost too much. I guess I'm gonna use spinach. Thanks. Nasa frozen section ang dajon ng sili.
