Well here I am 1 year and a bit later

[blkJack]

Well one year has past......and I have been very much in love with the Philippines so far. Had an emergency operation to remove my gallbladder and that was quite an experience.  7 days in the hospital and a bill for P250k and 6 weeks later I feel like a new old man.  Thanking all those members that had concerns for my well being as green behind the ears expat and all the warnings. Well my experience and expectations of life here with my on line filipina has been the most wonderful experience in my life. My adoptive family has been a wonderful blessing to me and love me with real joy in their hearts. I took it  upon myself to move  my 10 year son, whom is a very bright child, to live with us. My 19 year old daughter who I had been paying going to school money's got pregnant and is now living with us until she and the baby are ready to go live with her Muslim boyfriends family. Her boyfriend will graduate this October and find a good job hopefully to support his new family.  All is good so far with it. The grand child was named after me, Prince Jack. The oldest daughter lives close by and visits often and her baby is just over a year now and loves his grand Lolos very much. There has been so many thing that have blessed my life, I have made some wonderful expat friends and look for word to so many more things. Lots more things to share but run out of time today to do it. Cheers

Well I came to the Philippines with a hope and a prayer.  

Hoping that my Filipina was waiting for me at the Hotel room I rented for a week and praying I made the right choice in choosing an older Woman (45) to restart my life a new from the previous disasters I had experienced for the last 3 years in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. 

I had rented a room at the Sea View hotel which is right in town very close to Lee Plaza, and many other places which would eventually have some meaning to me in the future.  I arrived in Dipilog airport and made my way to the hotel airport vehicle and on to the hotel. I had been hoping someone would be waiting for me in my room and sure enough I did. There was a exotic 5-2 inch, 54 kg, long haired lovely lady that was quite shy at first to meet me. She was a Provincial girl from Zamboanga and hadn't a clue about what to expect from 6' ,100 kg North American male. She had been fore warned by other woman that had some experience with Expats about their size differences. She was expecting me to demand many things from her but giving her a tender hug and telling her I was going to lay down and rest a while before I took her out for dinner wasn't one of them.  She knew how to read and speak English aloud and really impressed me by it but I soon found out that she didn't really understand much of it what most of it meant. She was saying  “yes “ to to everthing she didn't understand.  She says I eat my English and she can't understand what I'm saying.  Welcome to the Philippines
