And why are you interested in this section?

I will begin. I have three reasons:

1- I have a friend that went to live there and will be married soon. He has no computer and I regularly send him information that can help him.

2- I have learned so much of the Philippines because of this and I find it a fascinating place! I keep wanting to learn more :-)

3- My grandmother's second husband was from the Philippines. I saw him perhaps not more than three times when I was a very young little girl, because they lived in another country. What I remember very well besides his kind face, was that I would make him very angry. As a 6 or 8 year old girl, I used to ask him "Are you Chinese?", he would get very angry and tell me "NO I AM FROM THE PHILIPPINES", after a while it became a funny game, between us.

A "troll" on the internet is a person who spends his time writting on forums, chats or webpages to create controversy, annoy or insult the other participants.

Are they just unhappy individuals who gets satisfaction by annoying other people? But what is the point?

your opinions would really be appreciated.

we've been together for 2 years now. we love each other, even though she doesn't trust me. she goes on and on that i will cheat on her. even though i promised her and i said how loyal i am to her. what do i do? i'm going crazy because of just that


______________________________...

well, i haven't cheated on her. but she did been cheated over her past relationship. i really assured her and talk this one out. but every week or so, she would accuse me of having flirted with somebody else or i really like some girl and replace her with that. i really showed her that she's my one and only. but the re-occurrence of her accusations hurts me the most even with my efforts. i feel like my love for her is in vain :(

I just finished reading some of the questions under the Philippine category. I'm kind of wondering why I see more thumbs down rather than thumbs up? I feel "crab mentality" all over the place. For whatever reason or purpose, that, I do not know. No one seems to be satisfied of anything. Having our opinions would be good but instead of putting a thumbs down, why not just answer the question and voice out that opinion.

I'm Filipino, I just happened to have been raised abroad. I know there are some english words that have been "bastardized" there in the Philippines like "let's MAKE tikim" or " i wnat to MAKE padala my letter".
But the most unforgivable misinterpretation of an english word there in the Phlippz is "salvage". Everyone I knew there, including my english teacher when I studied the 1 year of high school at UPHCR (1999), defined it as something horrible ranging from being tortured to being killed in front of one's spouse. Doen'st salvage mean being rescued? As in the "Salvation" army? As in Jesus will bring us salvation = salvage?
I hit me again last week, when my friend from Manila told me that if he ever sees Osama Bin Laden, he'll "salvage" the Al Quaeda leader. What the fork? It ended in an argument about the word's definition all evening.
So please, my fellow Yahoo users, tell my idiot friend that he is wrong by writing in YOUR definition of "salvage".

I booked a three week vacation in Manila and will be staying at the Manila Peninsula. I've read the reviews on several websites, but I usually don't trust them after hearing from a friend that Hotel firms write in those reviews posing as previous guests.
Is the Peninsula Manila really as good as the hotels and user-reviews claim (if they ARE authentic at all).

In The Philippines, does Vanessa Anne Hudgens match the standard of beauty? I know that in America, she is considered really pretty and exotic, especially b/c she's multiracial. But in The Philippines, would she be considered just average?

If you're not sure how she looks like:

Maybe I will get blasted for this because I am a foreigner.
People please don't get the wrong perception. These questions are sincere.

I was thinking how Martin Luther King's strong speech against the U.S. Government for racial equality in the nation caused the government to act proactively and opened many opportunities for black americans and people of color to advance in life.
Did the People of the Philippines ever have a strong positive and eloquent speaker who represents the poor and needy? Is there a gifted strong intelligent man or woman with a passion of fire like Martin Luther King in his day?
Should the people of Philippines rally together in millions peacefully with no violence and boldly demand the whole entire government body to change their hearts and mind to clean the corruption for the sake of the people and many generations to follow?
Will there ever be an historical non violent revolutionary event that will crack the hard rock of corruption in the P.I.

Alright basically I plan on working my butt off for the next year until I can save enough money to live out there. I have a few ideas of how this goes down, and I will tell you what I know, but hopefully someone can fill in the blanks or correct me??

Okay I plan on spending 400/mo on the house, and 150/mo on utilities and food, which I think will get me cable, dsl, water, electric, 3 bedroom house in the beach.....basically everything needed.

I am also wondering how to make friends out there?? Is it just like the USA where to go to bar or something?? I am white so will I be accepted like normal (hear on/off things)

I get a visa upon entrance, I get it extended 59 days, and during that 59 days I apply to get a year membership for 60/mo right??

I also planned on moving out there with money to pay for diving school/equipment since there arent any jobs out there available and this diving school would change that.

I dont know.....anything I missed or more info...please share!!
