If you come just call my phone, if you want I give it to you in a private message just ask for it. The sooner you come the better as I have lot of free time now cause I am not currently working

Sorry for the late reply I have no lot of time to be online lately

Do not worry cause If I have time I can tour you around. Not a problem for me at all

I did it many times before with other friends. And the best is that you will not only see the touristic spots, as well most of things that only residents know and the best is.....best and cheaper places as Spain is not cheap nowdays and less if you do not know what to do and where to go. And even less with Dollars hehehehe

So when you want I give you my number and just call me when you come

Regards

Hofelina, can you help me? LOL I have almost no time to be online for a while so I have no time to make this post as much detailed as before, at least until I finish with my troubles in my house. I think is better if people says what kind of info they need and I post it as soon as I can. Then when I have more time I will continue with the pics and and details as before

Well the last thing I think you asked is where to drink cheap beer and cheap tapas.

TIP 1: If you are in tourist spots maybe you do not have that option. Be aware of top touristic places cause prices can rise up to 600% more.
TIP 2: Unless you are in "Paraiso del Jamon" where beer is cheap (1 â,¬) and some food as well (1â,¬) tapas should come FOR FREE with the drink. Example... 1 Coke and for tapa.....ummm Pizza or burguer or bravas potatoes should be around 2 or 2,50 â,¬ if you are in the right place. 3 or 3.5â,¬ the most. If you are in the center of Madrid not a lot of places like this. In that case ask for Paraiso del Jamon instead which is the cheapest place in Madrid for Drink. just...no tables or chairs
TIP 3: Is better if you see a price list. If you cannot see it, better ask before to order and you will not have surprises with the receipt
TIP 4: BEWARE!!! In the center of Madrid there are plenty of foreign children from east europe trying to steal to tourists. Be careful as they try to attract your attention and meanwhile other is stealing you. Carry your bags on front of you never in the back, and watch it in the underground. BEWARE!! In the Underground metro system the thieves mostly wear suits and ties they do not go with broken and stinky things... AND if any police approaches you always make SURE they are really a police cause not common but as well some people from east of europe take advantages of foreigners acting as cops as people cannot detect their spanish accent is not from here.
TIP 4: Party at night? If you do not go with a spanish friend I recomend you to stick in the tourist areas even if they are worse than the BIG party areas. In Madrid is common for tourists to go to HUERTAS close to Sol Square. Is an area with lot of pubs and plenty of tourists. And big Discos as well if you do not go with a spanish "chaperon" I recommend then to go to Kapital (7 Floors) but smaller than others around Madrid or Joy Slava. If a Spanish comes with you surely he or she or they can bring you to other places where tourists usually do not go

Well if any other question fell free to ask. Only I can say that I see close to my house in the Church I can Read "JMJ 2011 WELCOME" or something like this so seems they will keep travellers there, so if anybody is coming to Alcala de Henares or close tell me in a Private Message and I will see If I can tour them around

PD: KAPITAL AND JOY ARE EXPENSIVE!! Entry fee and drinks from 11â,¬

Regards

Sorry I have not been online for some time. I will continue with the rest soon

Hi Lorenzo. So when are you coming to visit the city finally?

Regards

PART ONE

Sorry but the post is getting huge lol I am posting the first part. Facts, Transportation, The Madrid Card service, and Big green areas (big parks) I will continue with the rest of things Hope is useful for somebody

Facts about Us

We DO NOT speak english: Do not expect to find too many people as me beeing fluent in English as the English we study in the school is very basic, so would be helpful to learn some "survival spanish", anyway remember that tagalog has 6000 spanish words and visaya about 8000 just different spelling so you already know a lot , anyway people will try to help in any way even in signs lol. and you can find people fluent sometimes so language shouldn´t be a mayor problem, anyway if need help I am available.

Please DO NOT stare: CAUTION!! To stare anybody, here is considered rude and can cause you problems as is a common reason for people to start a fight against you because you are "looking me bad" please be careful not to do it at least at night in discos or nightclubs so you will have almost all the chances of have troubles with drunk people or even other foreign tourist very drunk (English mainly).

We do not dress as bullfighters or sevillanas LOL I found some tourist asking about that. LOL

We never burp while eating, LOL I have a pinay friend that onces was burping all the time during a dinner then I asked her while laughing what was going on. She said her cousin that lives in Germany told her we do that, hahahaha well we do not do it at least in purpose hehehe.

We are not stricts at all LOL

Do not get scared cause we do not smile so much often as you do if you see somebody usually you will see him serious if going alone but if is willing to help you if you ask something he will change the face quickly usually we seem very serious from outside.

Even if you do not know spanish if you speaking with somebody or in a restaurant and other things and you are trying to say at least some words in spanish, usually people will be more helpful after that cause feels you are doing an effort to adapt , in the opposite side if you enter in english language and you look friendly they will do as much as they can to help in any way possible in english or spanish or other way lol, but if you approach somebody with an agressive way demanding to be spoken in english even if the person know english people will answer you "sorry I do not speak english" remember this we do not use english at all

In Rome do as romans do.

In case of an emergency

The number for all kind of emergencies is 112 usually the number is for free even if you do not have signal from your phone operator As well police are everywhere, in case of an emergency just scream Ayuda! or Policia! if you see a patrol car close.


Transportation

Metro

Prices for a single travel are just 1 â,¬ per ride. And 2 â,¬ for the areas of extra charge (Metro Sur, Airport, Tranvia and B1, B2, B3 areas (out of Madrid city).
The are tourits speacial tickets unlimited times per days but ask the prices and see if it worth or not for you

Advices:

- Never buy a ticket to somebody, always buy them at the official selling places (usually inside the stations)
- If you land at Barajas airport, DO NOT buy a 10 travels ticket there cause that station has a 1â,¬ extra charge so the 10 travels ticket would be almost 20 â,¬ instead 9,70 â,¬ get the 10 travels ticket after you arrive to the city, anyway at the city you will save only 30 cents if you buy 10 instead 1 by one so it´s up to you
- Machines selling tickets are in the most common languages just push the British flag and you will gget the info in a more common language for you, if you have any doubts there are metro workers close to the machines that will help you to the proccess of buying it without any problem
- In busy lines and overall the ones going to airport and the connections watch your pockets and luggage, there are foreign pick pocketers acting in some lines stealing the tourist, anyway if a local sees that we usually tell the people that somebody is trying to stealth something from his/her bag/luggage. BEWARE as they do not look bad they even dress with suits and ties. Anyway not frecuent as they are all know by the security guards and kick them out the metro.
- Keep your ticket until you leave the metro as can be a ticket control anywhere by surprise and the fine is big.

Here I leave you the metro map in english in PDF format, you can get a FREE! subway map in any station. Remember they are free do not pay for them just ask for it in the stations.

Curiosities:



At Islas Filipinas station there is a Rizal´s statue which is a copy of the one in Manila donated by the goberment of philippines.



Railway system

Prices can change depend on how long the trip is, just buy them in the machines or with the ticket seller on the stations.

The advices here....well just be smart as in the metro but is barely common to have troubles.

Always keep the ticket here!!

Here is the map

http://www.ctm-madrid.es/pdf/cercanias.pdf





High speed trains

If somebody is gonna go around spain not just in madrid an interesting option apart from the planes are the AVE train which are high speed trains that can arrive From Madrid to Sevilla for example in just 2 hours!! so is another option, not just the planes. Remark that if the AVE gets late more than 5 minutes to a destination you get your money back





Buses

Urban services

There are plenty of lines. not common with them as I do not use Urban buses. Prices for the city I think it was as well cheap, just 1 â,¬.

Advices:

- Before get a bus make sure it goes where you want to go, never get a bus you do not know where will end cause you can end far from the center and lost in bad area.
- Buses are tracked by GPS and now lot of stops have a LED panel saying how far is each bus from that station so you can calculate if is ok to wait for the bus or going into the subway.
- Buses are slower than Railway and metro as they go inside the city with traffic and many bus stops amd traffic lights I recomend to use the metro as the 1st option.
- City buses have free wifi internet at the bus
- Usually buses do not allow more than one or two big suitcases, even zero. It´s a goberment law so please do not blame the driver, he is not racist or doing that cause you are a foreigner is the same for us, he is just following the laws

This is a map of the lines going thought the center with pictures of the spots for tourists



http://www.emtmadrid.es/web_emt_babel/files/63/63346912-ac22-42ef-98a9-aaf4fbbea147.pdf

Inter-urban buses

Usually they are green and the city ones red or blue. They go to other cities around Madrid and towns.

The prices usually are 2,05 â,¬ per travel for the nearest cities.

Beeing a tourist



There is a card that allows you to enjoy almost all the atracttions for free after paying that card this is the info.

Madrid Card, the Madrid tourist card.    
   
When you visit Madrid, don’t forget to buy the Madrid Card for tourists.
It will help you discover the city and enjoy your stay and save money.
You will be able to benefit from:
·    Access to the entire cultural offer in and around Madrid. Free entry to more than 40 of the major museums.
·    As many journeys as you wish on the Madrid Visión tour bus.
·    All visits which are part of the Discover Madrid programme.
·    Madrid Fun Fair, Madrid Zoo and Aquarium, Cable Railway, Faunia, Imax...
·    Take a casual stroll wherever you want in the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, thanks to the new Bernabéu Tour.
Besides you will be able to enjoy considerable discounts in shops, restaurants, shows and leisure centres for adults and children.
With the Madrid Card you will also obtain a guide with information on the museums and establishments associated with the programme, as well as a city map.
The ideal compliment to the Madrid Card is the Tourist Travel Pass (not included in the price of the card). Make the most of the Madrid public transport system, with unlimited use of the underground, bus and the Cercanias lines (suburban train network).

All the needed info is here:

http://www.madridcard.com/en/Inicio.aspx

By the way Madrid Fun fair......is the city´s theme park lol I do not know how they translated it XD

For the parks lovers, there are some royal gardens you can visit around madrid but there are as well two huge green areas. Casa de Campo and Retiro Park. The cable railway goes from the center of madrid to Casa de Campo, there is a lake and huge space for walk, inside the city you have Retiro park where you can find a some leisure activities as well and even rent a boat in the lake.

Hello Hofelina, there are many places you can eat, drink and enjoy tapas "very cheap", I will post as well those things so people not common with the place will save plenty of money cause the prices can be very different a menu in a restaurant 8 â,¬ and the same kind of food in other maybe 20 â,¬ or 30 â,¬

I just need some time the post is big as I am trying to cover so many things as I can think about

Regards

Most important thing Lorenzo.

Here there are lot of foreigners so if you do not look as a TOURIST you won´t attract any attention from the eastern europeans thieves and Rumanian children you will be as any other foreign resident here.

I will say tomorrow what I mean with that.

And please careful with the taxy drivers LOL I will post tricks to avoid beeing fooled

Anyway is safe here just as everywhere be smart

I will post in this topic all the interesting tips people should know to stay around here as well some advice to visit the places around and beeing safe and scam-free.

I will do it tomorrow I have to sleep now is too late here lol.

Regards

Lorenzo if people is coming to Madrid and not common with the place or the spanish language, let me know I can go with you or with them some time to show around

As I am unemployed now I have lot of free time so not a problem lol

Yeah I know but is not what I say everybody said that after the second travel to philippines I came back very different. too much changed. lol my mother when I landed in Madrid saw me and in 2 minutes already said "What happened there?" "You won´t go there anymore" XD my friends said I am not the same one, that somebody changed myself for other Ricky lol and my ex gf´s says the same so definitely something changed inside me there for good or for bad and the worst part I found out is that...

Right away I meet a girl here I start to scan her, to listen reaaaally carefully, observe what she does, how she behaves, what she says, trying to find "red flags" Lol I never did that before in my life hahaha I do it not in purpose it´s uncounsciusly XD and the first minimal little detail I do not like I discard her or end the relation before going further. As well as a colateral effect I am less talkative to people I do not know and a girl I am dating since some time ago but not a formal relationship, said I was before very sweet and caring and now I am an Iceman with no emotions at all with a cold heart, just really distant and cold, and maybe she is right do not know why happened all that but happened.

So it´s difficult for me to get involved in a relationship as before as I always will find something to untrust them, I hope with the time I get back to the old me and can trust the people as easy as before but it´s beeing hard...and well at least I have plenty of funny experiences to tell the people of my travels sa pinas lol, even if I see them funny thinking carefully I was reaaaaaally lucky nothing bad happened to me cause I did plenty of stupid things there but seems I had a hidden angel while I was there

So for the moment I do not have any more GF lol

Lol well Lorenzo I had no formal GF since my travels to philippines

I tried here with pinay, Moldovian, peruvian, spanish, colombians and some more but something changed me there in Cebu in October 2009 XD I do not trust in a girl so easily now lol hahahaha

So I am single now and happy hahaha

Yeah crazy in the head and in the rest and beleive me beeing more "crazy" than me is faaaaaaaaar difficult

Regards

Mmmmm she was...even more crazy than me? 

Lorenzo that was in the Euro Cup that as well won Spain against Germany in the final lol

Regards

Some spanish airports are closed today and yesterday cause of the ashes and we are very very very far from the volcano. Seems this situation can continue even after summer as the volcano is still active so flying from or to europe right now is risky as some days airports are ok, other day the ashes move to the continent again and airports are closed... like that all the time.

Regards

I left my last job cause I was bored not having any work to do so the 8 hours I was "working" was like 16 hours. The time passed soooooo slow

Yeah she is beautiful that is why I am worried lol.

I told her to wear more discrete there but I do not know if she will listen to me hahahaha

What should she wear in beaches? and as well during night time for not get too much attention than necessary? hahahaha

As well I understood I must not permit her to do topless in public right?

Anyway I am not worry of people looking at her, is more people that want more that looking

Yeah I know I was in bohol already and was great and relaxed. I was all around the island and not found any trouble. Just felt unconfortable once as in a town when the mayor asked somebody to pick me up to his office to meet me, then toured me around the town and to his restaurant and I had dozens of people staring lol

I get nervous when people looks at me hehehehe.

But well that is not something that worries me as is not a safety matter, is just a personal behaviour of myself as I am too shy in those situations  

It´s just I am worried for her as she cannot be alone never cause of the language problem. hehehe

I do not know, I am responsible of her safety there and I am maybe worrying too much  hahahaha

My idea is staying first in Makati and rest of Metro Manila, then tagaytay, boracay, palawan, cebu and bohol. I have no problem in Metro Manila, Cebu or Bohol as I have stayed many days and I know where to move around but never been in tagaytay, boracay or palawan so would be new for both of us.

Regards

Hi I am wondering if would be safe to my girlfriend to visit Philippines with me.

I did not feel specially unsafe anywhere I have been, except a little bit in Cebu as plenty of people harassed me on the streets all the time.

I did not see any female tourist in my 2 travels there and mostly all I saw were old men. This means is not safe for my gf to go there with me? She wants me to tour her there and I told her that maybe I can go for a last time to Philippines, just to go around the country with her, but I am worried.

She does not speak english so she would depend on me 100% at any time?

What does all of you think about this? Is a good idea or an awful idea?   
Thanks

"The SWAT team was headed by PCInsp Nicomedes Olaivar Jr. while the Dauis PNP team was headed by PInsp Albert Timpac."

A SWAT team for this?   

LOL

A funny thing about this

The revolution agains the french started in my city (Mostoles) and now we celebrate the independency day in 2nd may every year in spain because of that.

But the funny thing is my city was officially at war with all France till 1997 I think, because the mayor that started the revolution rejected to sign the peace by that time.

200.000 people in a city with no army "at war" against France lol

Depatment of Tourism must do something to promote the philippines,they should have ads thru international media like CNN so tourist from other countries will be encourage to come and see our beautiful country.

First the Department of tourism must do something to tell the media abroad to stop showing bad news about philippines on tv. People I know think I am more than crazy for have gone to philippines as the only thing they see on tv from time to time is:

-Mindanao killings or terrorism. (they said the politics kills each other with private armys etc...)
-Typhoons and others disasters showing of course the most devastated areas so seems everything is like that.
-Corruption.
-Documentaries showing the worst places you can find in pinas (smokey mountain, garbage places with people living on them, prostitution everywhere ( lol in this thing is true but depend where you are as in Makati or Tagbilaran I was not aproached at all by any of them but in Cebu-Mango by plenty and in malls by some ), showing really old tourist with really young women even under 18 when they speak to them with hidden cams)
-Ship sinks with lot of people dissapeard.

that is all news I remember have seen last 2 years about philippines.

When my family for example watch this news. They always say "why you went there?" "you are crazy" "you won´t go anymore right?"

All those news are true, but well, can be modified to show it in a more dramatic way but if they never show the good news people do not see other thing.

As well in a program called spanish people around the world in the Philippines program....surprise!!! they showed again the worst part of Metro Manila. Poverty, prostitution (15 days in Makati, 0 Prostitutes and only 1 pimp aproached me in Glorietta, but they showed the "red district") and more poverty

The massive info media are powerfull and usually everything is manipulated. The bad part is nobody can stops the media from those manipulations so the only way is not to beleive the tv and check everything by your own.

PD: I forgot one new I watched here. Was when Corazon Aquino died, and was the first time I saw in tv here that had good words for Philippines (well more exactly for her)

Have a good day

Penelope can be elegant but she is not beautiful at all!!! I saw her sometimes in the place I work with her sister and without too much make up and is 100% the opposite of this pics

I can give you millions of examples of natural beauty in spain but real without having more paint in the face than a wall lol

What is the meaning of blue collar job? 

Regards

Spain is "catholic" and they can get married, but the church does not like it at all cause is named "marriage" and they want the goberment to call it other way lol

I think we spend too much time working so less free time available.

As well the individualism of the people and that the values of lot of people nowdays is "have more than the neighbor"

Materialism makes people work too much and get stress because of the mortgages in order to keep a false way of life they cannot keep.

If you mix stress+individualism+selfishness+materialist thinking you have what we mainly are right now and the consecuences

Well not all was bad Even all that happened has a funny point of view and left me lot of experiences and lessons to learn

lol

I live in Madrid (Spain)

No I did not stayed in Philippines

I was two times this year, but last one left me mentally exhausted

Happened lot of things that first time did not happened and I came back home stressed after 23 days of holidays hahahaha.

I needed 2 months to analize and to assimilate all that happened and forget the bad things and keep the good ones of that travel.

Now after 2 months of reflexion I feel better and I am in peace with all that happened.

As I said a lot of the culprit was mine

I left myself to get stressed and overload because of the pressure of beeing alone there this time. As well I left people to manipulate me with bad comments and all that s*** so I was there already "programmed to mess up the travel" hahahahaha

I lost the difference because of the stress of seeing grey scale I just analized happenings and people by white or black, with me or against me nothing between.

Anyway girls have it far easier than men to find a husband or bf

I think people could tolerate.

The church is the one that will not like it at all

Sometimes is true the saying the more you look the less you find

Anyway I was lost there but all happened because of my fault.

I left all the bad experiences to happen cause of me

Now I realize that and now I blame myself for what happened last travel lol

I was blind and was not the right moment after all that happened 2 weeks before going there but I was so hard headed so I flew to philippines anyway and happened what had to happen hahahaha

Sometimes we learn the hard way and I had to do it

lol. You are right. based on my experience last time in Philippines I learned that you have not to hit a stone in the wrong place

The bad thing is when you are lost and do not know where to hit and you find out too late hahahaha

So I learned if you are not used to a place first ask the right people and later hit lol hahahaha

Regards

Hit a stone in a desert and lot of men will appear under the stone

Shouldn´t be too difficult

Well I just had some funny experiences with 3 short relationships with girls in Spain since I came back in October: a peruvian, a paraguayan and a spanish girl so I realized this happens everywhere not only in Philippines.

The 3 of them think I am rich lol. I think the crisis is making them blind here, even the spanish ones lol

Peace sign means "f*** off" in United Kingdom lol.

I learned it the hard way hahahaha

Quote from: Lorenzo on December 11, 2009, 02:39:26 AM
Spain's Military Forces that were stationed in the Philippines did go through an interesting change of styles.

During the 18th century, when the level of Hispanization of the Philippines was in full scale, the the uniforms worn by the Alcade Mayores and the Military Ruling Class consisted of the following:

Note that the Spaniards even wore their traditional "whig" attire and full coat even when they were in the heat-steaming jungles of the Philippines.


Royal Spanish Officer's Uniform.
Royal Attire.


Infantry Attire.


Spanish Royal Dragoons.

This ones seem not "real" spanish.

I think they are the army when Spain was invaded by France as the costumes are similar to the french ones

Well after seeing a Japanese marrying his videogame "gf" in a ds "relationship simulator game" i will never be surprised about weird things done by japanese people. They are amazing lol.

There are even people in cinemas buying 2 tickets. One for him and one for the ds opened with the "gf"

Quote from: Keko on September 09, 2009, 05:07:57 PM
Spain-Philippines meeting are not so frequent as with latin america for example but every time lot of agreements are signed. Not as others that come frequent and do not reach to any conclusion so better less and productive than to pay our respectives leaders free vacations to Spain and Philippines hehehe.

Last time I think was agreed the re-introduction of spanish in schools, 7 millions â,¬ to philippines for develop and help the farmers there, Spain allowing more filipinos oversees workers and a exchange of jail inmates between both countries.

I have seen many leaders coming here and just have a chat with the president and the king then go back their countries hehehe.

And mostly Spain was forced to change. As the european union has some conditions to  meet to join. After the dictator died the country had deep changes. But they did not join the EU after 9 years of democracy and changes.

No, that is a friend of mine in makati

I am now in Cebu and it's beeing a nightmare

I am aproached all the time for pros, bayots, viagra sellers and beggars lol

As well I spotted some "pimps" at ayala mall. He was telling the girls where to move around the mall.

The only moment that I wasn't aproached was when I was with a 44 yo woman that a friend in Spain put me on contact to bring me to the hotel.

Is anybody in Cebu available for hang around? lol

Yeah now I know what never fails and it´s when she was putting excuses for the test when I was then fully sure I should say bye bye

hahaha

Hello keko! For heaven`s sake.....just turn around and the right one stands in one corner.   

Lol yes I think I got the wrong corner hahahaha

Was not a piranha, was a woman born as mad 

well now everything is clear I was really fooled for beeing newbie there.

One more experience to add for my first travel there.

I found out lot of lies and doing research for 5 days I found things was getting worse lol.

The only thing is she did not steal me anything and she could or ask for money and even paid lot of things...so I still do not get what was really thinking to do with me

Well case closed!!!

omg my computer is going crazy sorry it happened again.

Sorry I double posted by mistake

Quote from: Raquelproud boholana on September 17, 2009, 10:23:09 PM
Well at least you are well aware of that hahahha just kidding Keko.
Back to your GF  do she spend lot's of time on the internet? If she does who pay for it? You are not sending her money right? If she bought Guess brand this means she had lot's of money. Where she get her money maybe she is chatting with another guy who is nice enough and stupid enough to listen to her lie. I think Keko you are her back up boyfriend incase the other hidden guy she chat with never work. There were lot's of RED FLAG about her.So Please
Run Keko Run you were just Scam big time. Not because you spend time with her and see her in person and now you say you know her well enough. It is easy to pretend and act like person you wanna be but your not.

She worked but she had to leave the work for "overfatigue" said by her doctor in theory. I checked that really worked. She left last month. She was using her friend´s laptop and a open connection from a neighbor later they changed of flat and she has no computer so we only could chat a little. she has no been online now for 9 days. and I checked the login status of some of her accounts in social networks and match.

There are big red flags I know it, but won´t hurt me to hear her version.

Anyway if she can explain all and I can check it it´s true she won´t be with me in the flat and I won´t bring her the used laptop I was bringing her to be able to chat to me at home. I will require her to show me some things to check her part it´s true.

one point is clear she never asked me for anything. I will let her the chance to explain herself. She doesn´t know I found those pics in internet I wanna see her reaction.

She just called me.

I told her I need to talk seriously and I need her to go online. She said ok. So I told her in Saturday cause I need to have a long chat.

In theory she will go online and I will hear her part of the story FINALLY!

I read up to pages 1-2-3- had to stop.... then leaped like a frog does from lily pad to the next boing boing boing to pages 6-7...

All I have to say Keko is thank your lucky stars your not with her if she was mean maybe her childhood was violent.

My advice after being in the media here and seeing so many cases of masterminded gold digger's wives who end up killing a spouse after they get what they wanted in the first place from you and regardless what race he may be do not go with her anymore for Pete sake save your sole!

Find a soft heart ed woman with a kind inner personality I do do not care how beautiful and skinny she may be or young for that matter. Take the early warning sign. Back out while the backing is still clear and there for that matter!

I am scared now...

Quote from: ligiah on September 17, 2009, 06:20:10 PM
i am so sorry to read about your story Keko... and yes, i think everyone else has said what should be done... and you are right about listening to her side of the story...

but open your eyes and best let go... someone will come your way, and everything will be right again.


:-D

I will wait 2 more days. I really want to know her side. Even if it´s bad but at least I can relax.

well you should really try it...it really smells like rotten fruit or something but the taste is so sweet and creamy....

ok I will try it when I am there. I have plenty of time to find a place that sells it hahaha

i love eating balut!!!!! durian fruit is like an aphrodisiac..

Lol then I think the durian fruit is the last thing I need right now hahaha

Quote from: Lollapalooza on September 17, 2009, 06:10:02 PM
have you tried Durian?...smells like hell but taste like heaven 

I tried lot of things but I do not remember this for the name. Maybe not

Well why not try the balut? If people eat it there I thought wouldn´t be so bad.

The liquid was like the soup liquid, the egg just egg and the spooky thing staring at you....do not know for me was like snails for the taste and the texture hahahaha

Just like the balut?

I liked it well was weird but I just did not think in what was. But I cannot define the taste exactly for me was like egg with snails the taste

Well I cannot confirm it yet I found a huge amount of red flags but I still want to hear her side of all.

The truth will always set you free.

Just dont mind your problem too much.

How long have you been with your girlfriend?

Since May this year

Quote from: mistyeyed on September 17, 2009, 04:14:21 PM

You're right.Truth will sets you free.Why not do your own research about the girl if you really want to know the truth about her quickly. Just be ready with yourself with what you will discover.( I think you can ask Prescilla to check about your gf because she is in Bohol).

I know where she worked and some people but...will change anything if I go asking them as I suspect of her?

I do not wanna expose her identity even if she has been bad to me. I want her to tell me the truth and I will keep as always her identity.

That won´t change anything. I could ruin her image to her family, I do not want that.

I feel deep inside me she is good but maybe she is influenced for anybody.

I do not want to hurt her even is she is doing it to me


I did my own research without asking people and I do not like what I am finding

Quote from: taga tigbao on September 17, 2009, 03:51:00 PM
If you really are meant for each other and if she really loves you, she would do everything and anything just to have you back.

There´s no way back unless she is real to me

But is so difficult right now to think properly.

All it´s confuse and every hour I find more things and more questions and I have no answers.

My heart says one thing and my head says the opposite and I need to reach to a common point to both of them but I think I cannot if I do not know the truth.

Quote from: mistyeyed on September 17, 2009, 03:51:06 PM
Maybe she is already seeing somebody (Filipino) other than you and she is afraid to tell you the truth.October is fast approaching,maybe is in panic now what to do.

It´s ok. I just want her to tell me the truth.

I do not hate her, even if she does that...We are humans and we do mistakes. And I will let her free with her bf but at least let my agony released telling me what is going on I am really confused.

But I need to feel free, I need her to tell me the truth no matter what is it.

She is 23 and I am 25.

I did a lost call to her mobile cause I am not sure if that is really her mobile or not.

lol. I am completely confused and I did not want to ask her boss anything about her to check if she told me the truth always or not. I want to keep her privacy.

But the pics with the GUESS shopping bags and items and some other I found do not give me too many hopes.

Quote from: Raquelproud boholana on September 17, 2009, 11:44:37 AM
I know this is very radical but DUMP her.

I sent a message to her ex-boss asking her if she knows her new number.

I won´t do anything else.

Well maybe this had to happen and I will meet the right person there in October when I less expect it.

Quote from: lindy on September 17, 2009, 11:52:29 AM
Keko, maybe your gf discovered something about you that she doesn't like. just a thought. cheers!

I was really opened to her always. And when I think something is not right I ask.

She just changed of mobile after I sent the message then called me (if she found out something is wrong why she calls me calling me "baby"). She said she sent some messages but maybe the sim is not ok and she changed of number (I called her to her mobile and was working then was out of signal till she called me with the other). I told her she was calling with the number hidden. And if she can get connected to internet. She hunged up.

She told me the other day that she won´t be able to be online til 24 th september and I told her why if I know there are internet cafes where she lives, she told me cause "I do not wanna see some people".


I never received those messages. She told me one month ago she needed to change of number before I go there. I told her why and she said. ok I will change the number when you leave.

She has as well more than one yahoo account. She told me she had one for her work.

And I did more research and I found pics of her with expensive Guess items and shopping bags from Guess that she never showed me before. In theory she is poor and she tells me (I only have 3000 pesos left in my account), how come can she afford that?

Now I am realizing some things I did not before.

I called her 15 times in a day the last week and she did not get my calls. Later she said she went out to buy medicines and she did not bring the mobile, then after she was praying and couldn´t answer but I have message from her that sent me before that told me she was going to buy medicines and she will bring the mobile which is the opposite that she told me before.

I just have been a big fool. That is all.

PD: UPDATE. Her boss gave me her new phone number (¿?¿?) and told me her grand mother died...

Quote from: hofelina on September 17, 2009, 02:01:25 AM
calling Inday Kiamoy!

oh so there is people in Cebu? I thought all are from Bohol

well I do not have the messages that she said. I have no phone of her and I sent sms to 2 of her friends to tell her to call me asap or connect to internet and no answer....I will wait one more day but I think it´s clear...

Anybody wanna have a chat in Cebu? I think I will have plenty of free time hahahaha

I will try to be positive at least

Quote from: lumine on September 17, 2009, 12:11:54 AM
hello keko! i read somewhere that you were so proud of your gf coz she is poor but she is contented with what she has. does she keep asking you money now to confirm that she is a gold digger?

She never asked me for a cent

When she needed money she asked to her parents (.....well...I think)

I know she has something to hide. But what I am not sure is that she was beeing bad to me. She never acted as a gold-digger.

When we met she was really mean, she did not like foreigners and was one of the filipina type of "me with a foreigner? never!"

She changed after some time and we realized we shared lot of common things and we started to fall in love of each other (at least me) and non of them were looking for that in us. Then she told me she has been so stupid, and thanked me to make her a better person.

There´s something but I never minded. Cause we change in our lives and I have to be honest, when I was younger I was blinded by the money once and I learned the lesson. Could be possible that maybe she was really a scammer but she learned as well?

I do not know. I will wait till I read the messages

Quote from: Tubag Bohol Dot Com on September 16, 2009, 05:07:42 PM
If it were just a joke, I don't feel it appropriate to be posted in public. But everyone deserves to be listened to. It is too early to judge her, Keko. It is only after you've spent some time with her that you will have an idea what kind of woman she is.

If she's really a gold digger, please don't think that she represents the quetessential Filipina image. Thank you for sharing your emotional trauma on this issue.

From my part all of you can stay relax cause is this is confirmed I will never blame others for the mistake of one.

I will NEVER say ALL filipinas are this or that.

She seemed eager and in a hurry to speak to me and was repeating "please did you read my msgs, please read them" before she run out of load.

I will wait till I arrive home to read them cause here I have no yahoo.

I will leave her a chance to hear her story.

She is calling me with a new phone number she just bought.

I will let her a chance to explain it.

Maybe is just a joke in her profile. I will give her a chance...at least to give me the explanations I asked her. I just remember once she told me "Before I was so stupid I just minded the money and I spent lot of money, I am ashamed of what I was before, you are changing me into a better person"

Maybe she did it to somebody but with me she realized how fool she was?

I will listen to her...what else I can do

At the moment all seemed ok...but I just found out something creepy...

She has 2 friendster profiles. One for everyone and one with pics with her hobby that she doesn´t want to be known by her family. (heavy metal)

She always gave me access to both.

I just found out in her occupation says "gold digger hehehe.."

I sent a message to her "Baby, I need you to explain me something. Why is in your friendster profile your accupattion as "gold digger".I am not pissed off but I need you to explain me this".

I did a lost call.....then she switched off the mobile.

I am here in my work just about to cry...my body is trembling and I almost cannot type.    

What I am gonna do now...I am going to philippines in October....and now maybe just to stay locked in the apartment in Cebu alone...

This is not fair, I do not deserve this.  

I am always good to everybody and this is what I receive

If you really are what you are showing you are right now and you read this any time.

Just think that you did not get nothing from me apart from my unconditional love to you that will NEVER go back. Maybe one day when our ways are again crossed and I am with somebody that trully LOVES me you will realize what did you lost. No money in the world if you relly are scamming people can buy you a person as me.

You are about to ruin my travel, the travel we prepared, the travel to stay with you ALL the time. Thank you for beeing so blind cause you DO NOT deserve someone like me.

I never minded who you are, your status, your looking or if you are poor I just told you I wanted you to love for REAL, but seems you are giving tips that you did not.

I am gonna hide this to my mother at the moment cause she was SO HAPPY for us and accepted YOU since the first moment I told her I had a filipina gf. She is old and I do not wanna disgust her.

Sorry to the people here to annoy you, but I needed to relax writting something

Regards

Sorry mate but this statement is deeply wrong.

America is a continent formed for lot of countries. USA do not hold the rights of the word, for say they are America and the others (canadians,mexican,brazilians etc etc) are not.

I've had Spanish wines, but I have to give it to the French and Italian wines. Hands down.

California-bred wines are also one of the best.

Cheers!

That is cause we keep the best wines for us lol. joke

Good

It was boring when only Nadal and Federer were able to win. Always the same finals.

You are welcome.

Enjoy the good wine

Hi everyone! When it comes to wines Spain is a current wine world player with great wines at great prices. Tempranillo is the major Spanish grape, usually the base of blended reds. Look for wines made in Rioja or vino ribera del duero regions. Ole! Bravo!

Careful if you buy it in Philippines. Look for the official "denominación de origen" seal.

I saw "rioja" wines in Philippines that were not what they were selling

The spanish wine from top regions has to have this in the bottle usually:

lol. very good one

In Philippines the kitchen table had merry go round in the middle lol. We even had more megamalls . Be prepared to take a bath with really cold water. No hot shower mostly unless you stay in the hotel.Other than eyebrow raising and lip puckering, ther next most expressive form of communication is grunts and pssst's. The daughter gets her ears pierced when she's 2 minutes old but your sons are not circumcised until they turn 21 hahahah.

hehehe Yeah overall that seems that there are more malls than islands hahaha.

I lived the table thing, the malls, the lips and other ways of basic communications, but I did not experienced the cold water shower

Welcome to TB keko!  I noticed you enjoyed staying with us.

At the first time, I found shocking  that  young love pairs kissing anywhere and showing it proudly to the public whereas in our country it seems everything runs in the other way around then mostly it resulted to avoided pregnancy.  more awesome!

Yeah and sometimes you will find people doing more than kissing hahaha. I noticed there, is very different. Even sometimes a simple kiss in public and she turns the face for put the cheeks hahahaha but so different story in private lol

Is so funny

Quote from: bulak on September 11, 2009, 03:04:13 AM
In Europe when you burp at the table or everywhere it means rude but in Philippines when you burp you must thanks God for the food that makes you satisfied , so on my very first dinner here i tried my best not to burp but i got surprised when the one who sits infront of me blow her nose I wonder which one is more rude- burping or blowing nose infront of the food?  

LOL, at least here in Spain is rude at any time

One thing more: There are almost no places with toilet paper hahaha and I wasn´t advised of this one before going there hahaha

Another difference: huge lack of light at night over all when I went at night in Tagbilaran and Cebu. the darkness made me feel really unsafe in Tagbilaran with a huge row of young filipinos in their motorbikes staring at us.

But I was relaxed till my friend said. "let´s go inside BQ cause they are not looking us in a friendly way" hahahaha.

The opposite at day time I never felt in danger in Bohol, Cebu or Makati.

Quote from: Raquelproud boholana on September 11, 2009, 02:28:37 AM
In U.S state of Illinois. One thing you forgot for sure is every businesses  you go in Philippines there is always security guard with either high power gun, shot gun or hand gun. In western world you will never see security guard except in some federal buildings.

Oh yeah and the checkpoints in malls etc.

Hopefully I was advised before I went there cause I am not used to that. I never see weapons here in Spain

Quote from: Raquelproud boholana on September 10, 2009, 10:09:53 PM
Now  thats very funny but it's all true.

Where are you living?

From my part I found funny the use of spoon as a knife.

Seems that long time ago the spanish did not want the natives to have knifes and only showed them the spoon and the fork and they conserved the way nowdays.

In Bohol you can go inside the cinema and maybe the movie is in the end but they tell you "No problem just see the rest now when it starts again".

National anthem in the cinemas.

When I went to give the hand to a filipino and he put in in his head now I know why is that hahaha

You can stop buses and jeepneys everywhere, no fixed stop places.

In a jeepney or multicab suddently somebody gives you money and you do not know why, first thing you think is maybe you are going too far with the poor foreigner disguise, till your friend or gf tells you is for the driver hahahaha

People swimming with clothes so they do not get tan

Products for put the skin more white!!  

Philippine airlines pilots are crazy hahaha, the most scary take offs and landings in my life

When I saw in market "Puto Mamon Blanco" which means f***** white sucker in Spanish. I couldn´t avoid to smile

I found plenty of new things I cannot name them all.

I really enjoyed discovering new things all the time and still lot to learn

Cannot wait till October

I do not know if people know or not to swim I just realized nobody liked there to go where they cannot reach the ground or where the water start to overpass their waist.

i think what makes it more expensive is the way it is being catch. too tiny for a baby eel, i really thought they were worms.

Well as far as I know we do not eat worms but I wouldn´t be surprised if I discover some spanish in a remote village in the top of an isolate montain do it hahahaha.

I think the most weird dish we have in Spain and that the people have same reaction than with the Balut (I like it lol) is Criadillas.

Criadillas are.....bull´s testicles lol

I never tried and I think I will never try hahahaha

I am just remembering the plenty of different things I discovered in my first travel to Philippines that was indeed my first travel out of europe.

I think would be fun to know the experiences of the pinoy people of the forum and is living abroad, or travelled and found behaviours or customs that for them seemed weird or funny because of the different culture.

Anybody wanting to share any funny experience they had dealing with us in our westernized world?

Regards

Quote from: Ginger on September 10, 2009, 03:41:50 PM
that's damn expensive for a worm?

The name is Angulas, they are the baby eels.

Is one of the most expensive foods you can try but it´s delicious but well the most part of the people buy others processed that cost cheaper 10 â,¬ kilo but they are not Angulas.

Anyway I prefer pay 10 â,¬ than 1300 so I eat the "copy" that is not even an animal but it´s delicious anyway hahahaha

Quote from: Ginger on September 10, 2009, 03:37:37 PM
huh 

I think we only eat this in spain.

Tip. Is not spaguetti, is an animal indeed

Tip 2. A kilo cost 1300 â,¬ usually

Tip 3.

I just made a wild guess. I still can remember how the rabbit looks like when my aunt and i was in France.

That´s why hehehe cause you were here

You are the first filipino person that I know that know how looks like the rabbit hahaha

I think the other one I posted is more difficult.
