Filipinas - Opinions and Advice

[Amavida]

...was looking for an old friend on friendster. while i didn’t find her i did find my ex’s account. to my dismay i saw her new husband for the first time. the guy is a certified troll not the forum type. was she really that damn desperate to leave the pi? damn where the hell do i rank compared to this guy?...

i know exactly how you feel d etat, the sense of shock & disappointment when you see what an otherwise attractive woman has settled for is hard to put into words.
i think i mentioned recently about taking a peek inside girls email & friendster accounts, wow what a shock!
these women are nothing if not pragmatic! its seen at higher levels of western world though also. every pinay has her own aganda. some are nasty pieces of work who set out to con their way into another country just to get financial benefit alone. but most are motivated by a sense of obligation to their family. (the tagalog phrase 'utang na loob' meaning something like 'debt of gratitude' is often used)
most girls here grow up with family obligations ingrained into them. they are force fed a diet of syrupy romantic soap operas on tv. they dream of having a beautiful handsome young middle class pinoy bf who will marry them & live happily forever. the reality of her life will be a 6 day a week grind of a low paying job (if she can get one) the family is poor & needs her to find a 'supportive' husband.

So you judge people just by their appearance? That's interesting.

After my first day back home in the US spent the first day cursing around in my rented 08 Lac settled down in front of the pc. Was looking for an old friend on Friendster. While I didn’t find her I did find my ex’s account. To my dismay I saw her new husband for the first time. The guy is a certified troll not the forum type. Was she really that damn desperate to leave the PI? Damn where the hell do I rank compared to this guy? I believe it was AV who wrote about the desperation of Filipinas and how they chat with old the young, fair the dark, the skinny the fat the ugly the handsome. Unbelievable

Ok you know it. Right next to where they are the pinkest. But the recent post of pictures of a lovely brown Filipina had me wondering which area of the Philippines produces the most dusky beauties.

OK I know that barangay girls who labour in the paddies are obviously going to be browner than city girls but in some areas native blood flows stronger and is less adulterated by Spanish/Mestizo influences. I seem to remember that girls from North Luzon in the Cagayan Valley area fit this category and are much darker skinned than average.

Any ideas for although they hate their dark colour, I am confident in saying that the majority of us western punters (but not Asians mongers) prefer them the duskier the better.

Ok feeding time for the trolls is over now...

I have a nice filippina in Singapore who is my 'stopover girl'. When I first started seeing her Miss E was extremely conservative & a bit of a starfish in bed although she frequently sent me long XXX rated txt messages about what she wanted to do with me.
I tried to nudge things up a notch but she always went shy on me & things were a little disappointing but not enough to stop me - I never knock back free pussy ;)
I backed off & she has surprised me by becoming more adventurous on her own. Recently she called & asked out of the blue if I liked shaved... after wiping the spilled coffee off my business shirt with my brain screaming OH! YES! I shly agreed this would be 'nice'. She has come up with all sorts of naughty things to try which Im sure Wicked Roger would approve of :D
The last barrier seems to be to get her to allowing pics... god I'm itching to get some pics of the action if I can!
I seem to find time & again that with non P4P pinays, the patience is rewarded with all sorts of delights. Unlike their western sisters once they decide to try something they seem to be quite trusting about giving it a go.
What are your experiences guys?

I also recently found a Filipina in Sing. Quite conservative but still managed to get her to spend the night the first date. She had her period but eventually volunteered several nice blowjobs. Then she was ashamed of her self for a day or two. But last night she was voluntarily flashing her tits at me on the cam. Now this is not one of those uneducated village girls. She has a college degree and a good job in Sing. Still, she is a Filipina and ready and horny.

BB, thanks for that. Hope you can give us some more Negros reports soon.

I had the same experience when I first visited Olongapo. I'd learn a few things with a few girls in one bar, and in the next bar they'd tell me that it was different than their dialect.

Took a Manila girl to Bohol, and she could communicate with most people, but the boatmen were a different matter. I presume the boatmen had less education -- or maybe they just didn't want to talk to her since they were too busy staring. She had weird swimming style which cause her ass to pop up above the waterline in a rather prominent way...and too shy to wear a bathing suit, she had white shorts over black panties. HA, HA......

I was in a beach resort in Negros discussing with the waitresses language issues. I find it fun if i know some phrases to flirt with like "dont touch me please" "I want to touch you" "or you're ugly but I like your personality" This is in the Illongo language. I think some waitresses were Visayan and didnt speak Illongo so it seemed everthing was a mix of Cebuano Tagalog and Illongo I know some tagalog words but in the end I found it all too confusing with traveling from place to place.

Their TV shows are mostly in Tagalog so I thought that if I learnt that language it would be useful everywhere. I went into a computer store in Davao City to get some technical help with reading a DVD and spoke to the salesman in the little tagalog I knew he looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and said in English I dont speak tagalog. arrrggghhh !!!

I know some Ilocanos who use the words manong and manang like the Illongo the Illongo people with me all called me by my first name which was unusual in itself as nearly everyone else wherever I went called me sir or kuya. I think, I'm guessing here, that people who felt some sort of friendship with me called me kuya instead of sir.

I knew from my Ilocano people that you could call young women ading but when I tried it in different places like Negros they would look at me and say who is ading? With the variety of different languages in the country they must be confused too?

The Philippines a tropical land of shifting sands.

The basic premise is to show respect to their elders that is why they do it and my opinion is to do what ever the custom is in the area you are in. Unfortunately most of us are older than our companions and the majority of the population so I have no idea of how to address these young'uns with respect.

They do have trouble understanding each other too so take heart.

BB, do you remember where you were when you were called manong.

To my ear it sounds like coo ya, always clear to me, in some parts I only got called by my name it was only the young ones called me kuya. I also got called manong. I haven't been everywhere or heard everything.

Manong also means older brother. I'm not positive, but I think it implies a much older, perhaps even eldest brother. Kuya may imply older but not necessarily eldest. Maybe one of our married guys can ask a Filipina wife?? All of these terms, as well as Ate, are used with friends as an expression of closeness. For those of us who are old farts, it's not appropriate for us to refer to younger men or women as kuya, manong, or Ate.

Ate usually means eldest sister, so it's used with somebody who would be the age of a much older sister. For somebody still older, like the age of your parents, tiya (aunt) or tiyo (uncle) is sometimes used.

Pare means buddy or partner. The deposed former President, Joseph Estrada, is known to the "masa" (masses) as Erap. He was given the name by another former actor, his buddy Fernando Po. It's pare backwards.

HAHAHEHE Bugger me - you must live in an interesting world Slip. Either that or you have been sniffing your typex fluid. I did say that it was the best photo example of the phenomenom I was describing but not perfect. You can almost see the expression of shock and wonderment on her face as she contemplated the near future certainty that said object would soon be buried to its hilt up her tight little snatch.

As to squirming eels and slippery fish, I think you must definately be a monger - a fishmonger:) Admittedly I do go overboard on the KY sometimes -the girls insist on it you know - erm its a size thing :D Yours in jest GH

It was a slip of sorts, but no typex fluid here, just a little red wine. So now let me Skip ahead toward the punchline. Think of the eel thing as sort of a compliment. Remember that the ladies often insist that it's not the size of the ship in the slip, but the motion of the boat on the ocean that matters to them. I figure an eel, squirming the way it does, puts up a hell of a motion. So maybe this little lady is giving you a compliment.

As to fish mongering, as long as the smell is fresh, I have no problem using my nose and mouth to check it out. I'm particularly fond of fresh clam. But it pays to try to do something to mask the scent on the moustache if you're going into polite company after this sort of clam diving. Peanut butter works well, lemon juice a little less well. Somebody in an earlier post told me to just tell people that I've come from a particularly good sushi bar, but Pinoys are not total idiots. After all, they eat fish all the time, and they damn sure can tell the difference in smell between fish and clam. Secondly, they're likely to ask for the name of the sushi bar, and then I'd turn to Elmer Fudd stuttering.

As to K-Y, I've had a number of the ladies not know what it was when I brought it out. They needed to be convinced. We may be talking about a difference of mileage on the chassis.

I also got called manong.

I asked my wife what's 'manong' she told me its a visaya word same as kuya. I've studied Tagalog so I can converse in the business world. Cebuano has many simillar words but its too hard for my poor brain to learn dialects.

I heard a Filipina friend use the expression "kuya" when calling a waiter. I think he was about her age or older. I asked her if I could use the term to call the waiter and she gave an ambigious answer (which probably meant "no").

I think "ate" and "kuya" are used in both Luzon and Visayans. How about Mindanao?

BB, do you remember where you were when you were called manong.

Back to "ate", you hear this a lot in the bars, sometimes to Mamasan, but also to other girls. Is it purely an age thing or does seniority at the place of employment also create the senior / junior status and the accompanying use of honorifics?

Maybe you are referring to the Jools discussion. Sorry, I am 50% to blame for that. I was trying to make sense of what someone was saying in the "Filipina" thread, and he apparently assumed I had read his post in the "Makati" thread -- a thread I rarely read.

My bad.

Looking at the recent topics and posts I forgot :)

Tell you what AV, like yourself probably, I get called Kuya a lot (by younger family members) and I can assure you that, to the untrained ear, and in that singular Pinoy accent, it sounds just like queer.

It was quite disconcerting until I became used to it.
