    Let's not take away the glory for this Lady.
    To be the first Filipino to ever win a gold medal, I hope she dines out on her achievement for many years to come! ( just like others elsewhere )

    Thanks,,,,, It surely worked out in my Family. One of the things I also have always avoided is fighting with the Wifey, have never done that. Anyways the result of not letting a Child join in the Dogmatic herd of followers would be something like this...... My Daughter. As for looking back on life, absorb the positives and delete the negatives, after all.. it's one ride per customer.

    They will but won't understand it and then say the writers are anti filipino and should go home.

    For me it's........Faith, Hope, Charity.
    Give the children a world without war
    Comfort of a home and the security of a family
    Wipe away their tears with a cloth of compassion
    Feed them when they hunger, water when they thirst
    Educate them with wisdom, fairness and truth
    Give them a purpose in life, to fulfil their dreams
    Turn their hope into wishes and wishes into reality
    They deserve a better future.
    Wishing everyone a Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year that's full of all your wishes....JB

    That is the hallmark of we expats... the World is full of people our age that grew up and grew old and eat out at at 5pm for the senior citizen special. Those of us who defied age struck out searching for a second youth.... hats off to my fellow expats who saw age as just a number .... Huzzah !!

    I don't know where this comes from. It is completely unacceptable in our home countries to act like that and you most certainly will get kicked out of any business for acting like that in the US (and I suspect the same is true in Australia and most European countries). Where I come from it is not uncommon for businesses to have a "wall of shame" where names and pictures of people who act like fools/assholes get the honor of being placed. Only some serious @ss kissing to the business owner will get your name taken off that list.

    I don’t think think that most people make it a first condition that the woman they marry be a Filipina. You just find the woman and learn where she comes from, at least for me, 35 years ago. I had never been here and couldn’t differentiate Asian nationalities very well. Also, I met her in the USA, kept working there for 33 more years after getting married, had 2 kids, put them through college in the US, retired and moved here as I had promised early on in the marriage. I was not an old fat guy marrying a young Filipina at the time; I weighed 145 lbs and we are both close in age. Now I am an old fat guy married to a not as young Filipina. So as you may have guessed, many don’t go searching for Asian women or particularly desire to live here when they start out, it’s just the way it turns out. And yes, I was young and divorced at the time and didn’t necessarily want to get married again, however, her visitor visa was expiring so we got married and she got a green card. She became a US citizen. Best decision I ever made.

    The beach is supposed to passable for everyone.
    If you have a beachfront lot you can apply to the DENR for a foreshore lease. The lease prevents outside people from hanging out and having a picnic on that bit of sand.

    I had a “mini” stroke before my big one and ignored it. I also ignored taking a cold drink from the fridge and telling my wife the fridge was broke when the drink felt warm. Can’t ignore the warning signs my friend.
