Philippines	Filipino Friends in the USA	When I arrived here in the US, all of my friends lived in the other states, so we just call each other.

Philippines	fired from work	You may or you may not apply for EAD. Once you get your GC you can work legally. For me it's just a waste of additional fee because I got my EAD two weeks before I received my GC but if you want to make it sure that you might receive the GC at a very later date then file for EAD as well.	mossycouple	Female	Philippines	2009-09-12 06:10:00

We are under Washington D.C., been trying to call but I always end up getting connected to their answering machine. I tried different numbers and tried different time of the day but all to no avail. Do you have the same consular office? Can you advice me what number to dial and the best time to call? Thanks. Hi dbears! I called the PI Embassy in D.C. like 3 times last week and talked to people there without any trouble. That was around 2pm and 4pm! I just dialled the number (202) 467-9300. On my first call,the machine got me,and i just followed the instructions and was connected to a human being. Then on my next call i was a bit surprised coz it was a human being who answered my call. If u listen to the machine,you will hear that an extension number is being asked. (9325) is the extension number for passport thing! Hope this will help. Goodluck to your next attempt of calling them.	Manika	Female	Philippines	2009-03-20 19:41:00

I've been trying to call St. Luke's to ask if they're open on Holy week but no luck they're always busy, and only rings for lunch but no one answers the phone.

To give you an idea how worst it was.. after rebonding, naging curly ang lower half nang hair ko na parang sa igorot. Below shoulder length ang hair ko, nang kumulot, hanggang chin ko na lang. It was really a nightmare. I used the mayonnaise every other day for the next two weeks. As may hair improve, binawasan ko frequency. Naging once a month nang medyo naka recover na. Then i stopped... I shifted to henna. You just need to tolerate the smell. Pero maganda ang effect. Relaxing and rebonding really ruins hair to the max!!! I had my hair relaxed in Pinas and that was a big mistake coz my hair got coursed and really dry...so i had it rebonded to make it look beautiful for a longer period of time. But then again,even a bigger mistake coz after almost a year my hair got a bit curly and dry! Hated it! Now I'm giving my hair a break from all that relaxing and rebonding for almost 2 years now,just using nice hair stuff to kind of get it back to normal soft and bagsak hair. I don't use shampoo everyday coz it dries hair,i just use conditioner pag di ko sinashampoo hair ko. Natawa naman ako sa sinabi ni rheanick na kumulot hair like igorot's kulot hair! Tindi non ha!
