How to say that I'm not responsible for the family? by Pedro1986
I'm feeling a little bit depressed lately. It has been since the beginning already, but I'm really starting to dislike/hate it that I'm sometimes doubting if I'm starting to hate the family. My wife is Filipina and the longer the more her family ...
Thanks :) I believe that this is something to take seriously. I heard that yesterday in the city of my wife's family, a barangay captain or something was shot during bright daylight (4-5 pm). When I stay there, very regularly, I hear shooting :) On ... Read More

Thanks dkcape. My mom already asked me to move back to Belgium. Actually, I just want to say what I want to say, but my wife doesn't want me to. Eventhough that's the only way to get them to understand. For me, asking for money is giving away your ... Read More

The truth by expatfever
Question, here in the states I've noticed that we live in a era that everyone avoids telling the people the truth because we don't want to hurt other people's feeling. Anyone else see a problem with that? If we can't say the truth because people get ...
To get a heavyweighted friend aware taht something should be done is in my eyes possible by making them feel taht you don't judge them, but you care for them (health and feeling). Show them an easy step up to a better life and don't make it a ... Read More

Thanks Snarkychick, I was lucky that by wonder, it happened automatically suddenly. But now, I have to make sure to keep it the way it is by not eating too much. I just need some more sports to keep it the way I want it. And I try to pull others ... Read More

If people are not happy with how they look like, but they are not taking steps to improve themselves, they need to be helped. Invite them with you to the gym as a work out partner, let them taste healthy food which is good and not expensive and ... Read More

Hi Snarky, it's true that only truth hurts, but that doesn't mean it needs to be said. For some strong characters, it will be a reason to start working out. For others, it's a reason to be depressed and start eating. For example, someone ... Read More
Hello from Belgium by Ratchet_
Hi everyone, I'm Yves (aka Ratchet_ on this board). I currently live in Belgium. I have lived 10 years in the South of France and then returned to Belgium (don't ask me why...). I feel it's time to leave Belgium again and explore other horizons. ...
No kids yet :) my wife and I want to stabilize ourselves first. We're living in a small studio now. I wouldn't suggest any person to live so small (unless you're living alone) so definitely not my own child :) I want space for them. Next year maybe. Read More

Just in general, wherever in the world, DON'T say things like that. It's not necessary. As xle says, mostly people are gonna take is as a joke, but that's only on the outside. Nobody likes to be called fat. And in the Philippines, it's like the ... Read More

Hi Luckysam, I wish I had to travel for my work :) I love the airport environment and travelling in airplanes. I like the 'stress' that hangs around there all the time. Every time I pass by the airport here in Manila, I feel the urge to ... Read More
need information please... by Drew Lyn
I'm from Louisiana, USA and i will be in Quezon City, Philippines for 2 weeks to visit my Filipina fiancee. My Question is .. is it safe to travel alone there?
Hi Drew, Belgian guy living in Philippines here :) When you travel, do it in daylight. If you have to go out when it's dark, best before 9.30 pm. Public transpo is safe, but again, better not risk it after 9.30 pm :) they are harmless in general ... Read More
