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...

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.

My Filipino friends and your loved ones,

What's behind your VJ display name? Please explain the significance or reason why you chose that display name.

For example, my display name is simply my common title in Spanish or Filipino as a single woman plus my first name. How about you? good.gif good.gif


I fell in love with the beauty of Sonoma County the next day after arriving in the United States. It's a wine and cheese country. You wake up in the morning and all that you scan see from your bedroom windows are blue jays, squirrels, douglas firs, oak trees and vineyards as far as your eyes can see. If you are the type of person who loves peace and quite (like my country bumpkin husband), you will feel that you have finally come home to Sonoma County. That's when I decided to use sonomacountygal .

QUOTE (Señora Bonita @ Sep 24 2009, 10:02 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My husband used to be my brother in law. After we lost my sister to complications of breast cancer about 2 years ago, he came to Davao to look for a little solace and he found one in me. I was widowed myself and a mutual affection for each other developed.

He is also of Filipino ancestry, a G.I. (Genuine Ilocano), and has been in the USA since 1973. He has lived in various towns in the USA such as San Jose, Calif., San Diego, Tallahassee, Fla., Euless, Tex., Union City, Calif., and now in Corona, Calif. He works in tax compliance with a governmental agency and he loves chasing birdies ang casting for rainbows (golf and trout fishing).


Chasing birdies? Does that include blond birdies? laughing.gif I am also Genuine Ilocano having born and raised in the northern part of the Philippines (Isabela). My husband is from San Fernando Valley in the Golden State. I call him Guillermo, but he doesn't like his Spanish name. I also callhim Bugoy, but he dislikes that monicker. You can call him Mister Bill. He prefers being called by that name in VJ.

QUOTE (jom @ Oct 8 2009, 08:20 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
It was funny though because a pre-nup came into our discussion because of my husband's second ex-wife ( Mother of the 7 and 8 boys )Somehow, my brother in-law read somewhere that she maybe able to sue my hsband for additional child support ( and she is already receiving $1,050 a month!!!) once I start working here in America because it is considered an additional income to the family. He told me we may have to do a pre-nup to protect my future income from the greedy ex wife. To settle the issue, he consulted his lawyer and what a big relief that under Florida laws, the ex-wife can't do that.


Under Texas Law, Your Husbands Ex-Wife can/could use your income to increase her child support payments.

My nephew married a Pinay about 10 years ago, and after his wife started working soon came a court order to revisit his child support payments.

He had a pre nup drawn up, and that stopped the court system dead in it's track from awarding his x anymore monthly ransom payments.

Chuck here,

I don't get much time to keep up with VJ like Rhean does, but I'm glad y'all are giving here advice on everything she asks about. I wasn not planning on drawing up a pre-nupt then have her look at and sign it. My plan was to sit down and write up what we want in the pre-nupt and hand it to an attorney to write up. Needing only one attorney is cheaper and that way we both know what is going into the agreement.

The reasons I need a pre-nupt were very well described by the responses to this post. I have assets from a previous marraige and ownership in some businesses. Texas law does have several things that specifically can't be in a pre-nupt (child support, infidelity issues etc) and the pre-nupt I was planning was going to be simple - I keep what I started with (including a bunch of debt that she will not be responsible for) and we split the things we earn together after we are married.

I do appreciate all the advice everyone gives here and everyones advice has really helped in all our waiting and processing! - Y'all rock!

Chuck


You have to revisit your plan on just having one attorney. If that particular attorney is assigned as your attorney, your prenuptial might be useless later on due to lack of legal representation from Rhean. Having one attorney is cheaper now but could be expensive in your part in the future...

Your attorney will give more concrete explanation.


Agreed.

Or you can file for your parents visa once you become a citizen and then once they become citizens, they can bring their never married children up to age whatever it is. That should take about 8 years before your parents can file. Hopefully, your sister will not have timed out before then. Good deal. No more waiting for 25 years or more.

My wife eats very healthy and is a good influence on me, but she sometimes craves her favorite junk food.

Her Filipino favorites are Oishi Prawn Crackers, Boy Bawang garlic-flavor Cornick, and Nagaraya Garlic Cracker Nuts. She can still buy all of these here in Seattle. She also has some American favorites like potato chips, beef jerky, and the greasy french fries from the local drive-in. Oh, and I almost forgot...Coca Cola. She can eat and drink all she wants without ever gaining a single pound.

On the other hand, I am the junk food King...chips, fries, baked goods, and anything chocolate. It's all good. My favorite is Nacho Cheese Doritos with baby smoked clams.
