Sally,
 OK, now that you mention it, I agree that shortening a name and adding an 's' on the end is common in the Philippines.....but it sure didn't work too well in this case, did it??   Sorry, but I had to point it out - it was just too funny.

I hope the www understands.  She really didn't know.  She calls them bre@sts.  In Butuan her brother's nickname was Bading but when he went to Manila and found out Bading means 'gay' in Tagalog they all called him Bads instead.

Where is the cuss-o-meter when you need it -LOL!

Jim,
 Well, I thought I should give Sally a hand there since I was the one who pointed out her discretion.  LOL   Yeah, I don't think I would want a nickname that meant Gay either!

In the bottom 1999 pic, you're wearing the same vertical striped shirt that is one of my own favorites in my wardrobe (if one would call what I got a "wardrobe").

Secondly, your wife and my daughter share the same name.  Cool.

Great story you got too.

Good looking couple you are....

...might be hard to find.  Guys like Shadow, Howard, Kevin, Humabdos and so forth don't all come here on a regular basis.

As for me I can only say I tried the penpal route but found Honey right away in the chat rooms and decided she was it from the get-go; but I did cheat.  I prayed about it first.  Married 1 yr 5 days and not a single disagreement.

I don't think you meant to call the people loosers-some might read it that way.  I have been around for over 3 years, but just do not post often. Just because you do not see posts from someone does not mean they are not around.

Bear, since I don't consider having a life long relationship or marriage with someone really a game. I don't think of myself as a winner or loser. And because finding the right person to be with has so much to do with who you are also, it can become much more complex. But if you want to compare it to a game perhaps at least for me, Chess would be the closest fit. But then others might consider it a game of tic tac toe.

There are so many different kinds of people that expect and hope for sometimes more and sometimes less than others here. Everyone that seeks a mate is clearly unique in seeking their own standards and expectations based upon what they have been exposed to and become, depending upon their upbringing, education and life experiences. I personally don't care to know how many people here have already been through how many relationships to get to where they are now. But they indeed can be grateful if they now have a loving caring partner that share with them mentally, emotionally, physically and spirtually. It's good to appreciate that I agree...Then again to get to this point they may already been divorced 1,2,3 or more times or gone through multiple very painful relationships, but when it comes down to it, it's all really irrelavent. What matters most to each probably is personally happiness, contentment, peace of mind and the essence that secures and hold it all together that being a shared Love for each other.

Myself, I have never been married and or divorced and that to of course is irrelavant. But yet I can truely say honestly, I am thankful for what I went through with Helen. Because I consider it a part of the growth process of life in understanding not only more about filipinas and long distance relationships, but also about myself and my expectations towards a more completely fullfilled relationship. And I don't consider it a loss at all to have learned more about who I can really trust or why. Or about listening to my own instincts and intuition more. Life is so fragile and temporary, quality friendships and relationships if solid should always be valued and held high and for those that currently have good marriages, don't ever take them for granted cause it's really not a game.
