madaming puti saka mexicana na sasama sa iyo pero palamunin mo, yun lang naman hanap nila yung magkaron ng lalaki na magpapalamon. di gaya ng pinay na magtratrabaho, kasama mo magtaguyod sa buhay. ang puti/mexicana papa-ampon lang mga yun. p3kp3k lang talaga puhunan.
tama sabi ng iba, monday to friday work-work-work. kung nurse pa yan double duty pa. pag satruday laba-linis-grocery. sunday plantsa-luto ng food for the week, nilalagay na lang sa ref tapos microwave na lang from monday to friday. pag nagsama-sama kala mo sinong bigshot, puro utang naman.

Iyan si bro.yebo.... Tsikana at Puti,- tumpak, bro.....

Kapareho nuong mga napapanuod natin sa telenovela... Siguradong parang di-otsong makina ang *r*rong marino....

Yung wife, nurse na pang gabi, yung mister, ofismeyt ko. Sa umaga magkikita sila sa may metro station, kakain sila sa resto or fastfood for bfast, then pasa na ni mister yung anak nila ke misis, sa hapon, ganun din. Magkikita sa metro station, kakain ng diner sa isang resto or fast food, ipapasa yung anak ke mister para si misis naman papasok. Ganun ang cycle nila monday to friday. Pag weekend, gutom na gutom sila sa tulog. Parang robot mga tao lalo na sa Washington DC. At ang pinaka ayaw ko sa lahat, for your 100 USD, lap dance lang makukuha mo. Pag dito yun, pwede na 3some! Di ba Idol Yebo?

Hanggang ngayon, kapag napag-uusapan iyan... Hagalpakan pa rin ng tawa ang mga engineers namin na bago lang napunta roon some years ago... (ngayon sanay na...

)

Aba e titipid-tipirin to the max ang per diem para maraming maipon at mabiling gadgets maiuwi sa Pinas... Pero, pagpasok sa mga "shows" at sasabihan ng bouncer na "$25 guys"... Walang isip-isip na bubunot at ibabayad... :hysterical:

sabi ng mga peyrents ko mas ok daw health services dito satin kasi puwede ka daw walk-in di tulad doon laging by appointment at pulpol din daw mga duktor doon. pag magbigay nga raw ng antibiotic grabe yung dosage.
ewan ko kung sa state lang nila yung ganito.

the by appointment for specialists is not just for the US. you can only walk-in for GP doctors. the dosage amount is also not just for the US.

TS do you mind telling us where in America do you intend to reside?

I see a lot of tsikoteers mention about how boring it is in the US. I would say it depends in two things:
1. Location and how close you are with immediate family and friends. If your place of residence is where the buffalos roam, then yes that is boring. Try Vegas and PM me if you still feel bored.
2. Acceptance to change. The US is in many many ways different from the Philippines. If you are not prepared to make a lifestyle shift then your perception of boredom will not normalize.

Life in the Philippines is not that simple. Struggle everyday. 70k in the Philippines is nothing. This should not be considered in your equation.

Try Australia.

Grabe naman 70k is nothing na sa pinas? Grabe, engrandeng buhay na talaga gusto nyo. I'll take my 70k here with less pressure kasama ko pa pamilya ko.

70k in the Philippines is a stable income. It is a lot as long as spend wisely & put some on savings. Australia? Malaki ang tax deduction diyaan. At madami ding layoff of jobs diyaan sa Australia.To me im still wanna, settle down in the Philippines..

70k is good enough if you have a simple lifestyle. pero kung maluho kang tao, kulang pa talaga yan.

TS, if you're not happy and don't see your kids growing up here, you could pack up and leave and try your fortune sa US. But if you're contented with your lifestyle then stay and just make improvements. A business kapag nakaipon is a good start.

Hundreds upon thousands of people here in the Philippines would take that 70k without batting an eyelash, so consider that in a good financial position. 70k in the US in nothing, that is for sure.

However, it is worth considering migrating in Australia. Very peaceful life. Lots of outdoor activities, One of the highest standard of living in the world. And isolated from the current problems that the world has.
