hmm...it's definitely bad this summer. can't go out without the sun blazing. but so far, it's been good around here. hope texas would be great.:teehee:

[nikkiflo]

:) Hello everybody!!! sa Austin ako. Talagang mainit dito and
we got some rain yesterday after two straight months without it.
..but it was just like a sprinkle... so short !!!!

[cherryc0ke]

:wave:

Hey everyone! :) Any of you still studying?

Oh btw, I'm from Corpus Christi. I moved here 2 months ago from New York City. I have had so many people coming up to me and asking why the hell did I move from the city to the country. Im asking myself the very same question *lopsided smile* Anyway, it's really not THAT bad living here; it's so laid back and way cleaner than NYC. But my heart belongs to the big city though *sigh*

Has any of you attended GoodPhil? It's an annual gathering of Filipino college kids in Texas. It'll be cool to see some of you there next year :)

[KittyKei]

GoodPhil?! What's that? I wanna join!! Sali naman me!!! Howdy from Houston! =^.^=

[nikkiflo]

:) Hello !!!! sumisilip lang ako. Kumusta to everyone.
I went to Houston this weekend and had lunch at a very good
Pinoy restaurant. Hmmm I really enjoyed the food....
talagang lutong pinoy!!!

[KittyKei]

Talaga?! Cool naman. :)

Is that restaurant named Gold Ribbon? If not, where is it located?

KittyKei, sorry I forgot the name :redsmile: but it's at Bissonet Street
next to PNB Remittance Center. ...I think its name starts
with Orient .... :)

[mascian_cutie]

howdy nikkiflo...
is the restaurant yah went to named Oriental Cooking?!? yep,
masarap nga dun, but yah should try eatin at Gold Ribbon, man, it rocks!!!
:cool:

[lestat]

3 years din ako diyan sa Houston, '95-'98. Pero hanggang ngayon ay bumibisita pa rin ako. Minsan may mga buwan na di ako napupunta diyan, minsan naman every other weekend ako diyan. Inuman rin namin yang Golden Ribbon noon lalo na sa Friday o Saturday night, kasi may live band pa sila noon. Ngayon ay wala na daw sabi ng kaibigan ko.

[lestat]

Siyanga pala, isang magandang puntahan diyan sa Houston ngayon ay yong Renaissance Festival. Every weekend yan bukas at sigurado kong nag-umpisa o mag-uumpisa na yan ngayong September.

People who can join are only those who have US mailing address and I don't know many people here yet... that's why I need your help. I need the money for my tuition... please have a heart to help me... thanks in advance and God bless :sunnysmile:

[Cali4Nia]

Hello Texan Pinoys! You guys and girls out there don't have a thread so I started one for ya'll.

I'm from Glendale, Cali, 24 female, ready to leave this boring sleepy city behind and about to graduate from college in a year and thinkin' of relocating to a livable city with a much lower cost of living than LA and an abundance of stable jobs. I got Chicago info from some helpful pexers here already but I think it's the same COL in Chicago as is here in LA....so...kaya...

I would LOVE to hear more about TEXAS, in particular, the Houston area. Kahit anong texas town ka pls share some info.

-What parts of Houston are there many Asians/Pinoys? Pinoy groceries/restos?

-In apartments.com there is this info about Houston and the vicinity and can you tell me where it's safe for a single female like me to live and find an AFFORDABLE apartment, close to groceries and malls, etc., and can you give me some 411 on these areas and what they're like:
Inner Loop
Northeast
Northwest
South/Southwest
Southeast
West/Southwest
http://apartments.com/maps/RG0006.gif

-Is Texas similar to Cali in terms of transportation...would I need a CAR? Is there freeway gridlock during rush hour traffic times? Road Rage?

-How's the racial demographic? Are street gangs a problem? Discrimination towards Asians rampant?

-Are there a good supply of jobs? I'm not in the healthcare field(Office/Marketing/Business) is my edu background and thinkin' of getting a teaching credential, as well.

-Is there a CFC Singles For Christ catholic christian chapter there?

-What is the major airport there?

-Has anyone driven from LA to Texas before?

-How's the weather in TEXAS? Is it dry, aarid weather? How's your 4 Seasons?

-How's the cost of groceries?

-How's the real estate/aparments market? Median range of really ugly crampy old houses here in LA/Orange Cty. are around $300,000.

-How are the people in Texas? Perky or Jaded City Folk?

-What's to do there? Beach, amusement parks, nature/national parks, etc?

-How far is Plano, TX from Houston? Kasi that's where many company headquarters are based and I'm interested in getting a job with these guys. Penny's and Frito Lay are in Plano if I'm not mistaken.

I dunno...what else. Uhhm. Just any other helpful info would be greatly appreciated.

By the way I've been doing research and for this year's Employment Review magazine and CNN Money's Best, they rank either Houston or Chicago as the most livable cities in the nation...that's why ang kulit kulit ko magtanong about these cities.

Thanks for putting up with me.

Thanks! Thanks!

[KuyaDanny]

Texan Pinoys DO have a thread, Cali4Nia. You are reading it now. :)

Houston PExers have one of their own, too. See below:

callin all ht0wn flips....... (http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=74756)

[Cali4Nia]

So now I know what HTOWN is...hahahhaha!
You know I tried doing a search on Texas and that Texan thread never came up..hmmm.

Anway, Thanks 1000% KD :D


You think you can change the htown flips title to Houston Pinoys or something more readily noticeable?

Salamat!

Shempre naman! Voicestream allows sending and receiving SMS in the Philippines. Kaya lang, they'll charge ya for $.10 per message. If you want, you can subsrcribe to their Ping-pong 500 which costs $2.99 for 500 incoming and outgoing messages. You know why? Because Voicestream uses GSM - Global Service For Mobile Phones which is also used the Philippines. :kittycat:

Texas weather naman paibaiba.. there are times na during the day ang ganda ng panahon..pero pagdating ng gabi e may severe thunderstorms and tornadoes.. sa ngayon..ang init!

[FilipinaLvr]

Looking to make friends, :)

[MFaust]

What's up y'all?!?! North northwest Houston here. I live in the Spring Area!!

[putoti]

I'm from Irving. Medyo bago pa lang din ako dito (less than a yr)

Dinadayo namin minsan during lunch break ang Palayok (Fil resto in Richardson)

I don't have a lot of Filipino friends within my age range (I'm 24) Puro 30s and up *** mga friends ko. Minsan hindi sila makarelate sakin.

[thebrain]

mga taga-irving dyan musta kayo.

[vain]

hey y'all! :D la bang taga san antonio dito??

all i can say is texas weather is...weird and unpredictable!!!!!!! im lovin' it here tho ;)

:*)

[thebrain]

oist putoti san ka sa irving. ako dito sa may hidden ridge. mas bago ako sa yo dito. less than a month pa lang ako.

elow bebe_luvsu, magkalapit lang tayo.

elow vats1013, sexybear, xxikickers, squuezewax . . . magkakalapit lang tayo.

elow kittykei, re:voicestream...how much ang cost nun dun sa sender ng text from Philippines? piso din ba kung mag avail ako nung $2.99 na 500 incoming and outgoing texts? thanks. =)

elow na rin sa mga taga south, east at west texas. =)

[thebrain]

hi ms_twinkle202, dami hangout place dun sa san antonio. although di ko rin kabisado dyan sa inyo.

hi zen_g, medyo matagal tagal din training mo. hope to meet u and other pexers as well sometime.

Hello FilipinaLvr, yup there are lots of Filipinos in Texas especially in McAllen. What's you nationality?

[thebrain]

ey Cali4nia, wer ka na? are you now in texas? kwento naman yan.

[thebrain]

went to grapevine mills this evening. t'was a big mall pero mas gusto ko pa rin ang megamall at glorietta. pero ok din.

[toron]

may tita ako sa san antonio sa bluff forest. skalomenos yung na pang asawa niya.. porenger. :D
http://www.hartmanhomes.com/images/Maps/Blanco%20Bluffs%20copy.gif

[thebrain]

elow toron. salamat sa post mo. at least di na ko nag-iisa.

ok daw dun sa san antonio. ganda raw ng SIX FLAGS.

anu ibig sabihin nung "skalomenos"? anung nasyonaliti ng porenger na to?

[thebrain]

we went to Dallas Galleria kanina. ok din parang Robinson's Galleria pero mas malaki yung Robinson's. Meron syang ice skating rink sa gitna tulad ng sa Megamall.

[vain]

for some weird reason...i have not run into any filipinos here in san antonio!!!

[MFaust]

for some weird reason...i have not run into any filipinos here in san antonio!!!

When I went there, I've met a lot. Of course my brother in law went to UTSA and met alot of the Filipino students there.

[thebrain]

or baka naman kasi tayong mga Filipinos mukha ring Mexicans. Minsan hirap din talaga ma- distinguish. Pero meron din naman mga Pinoy na pag nakita mo cgurado ka talagang Pinoy sila.

Hirap lang sa ibang mga Pinoy dito suplado't suplada. Kahit ngitian mo di ka papansinin. Bakit kaya? Kinakahiya ba nila kapwa nila. Dating tuloy sa iba parang mayabang.

Meron nga kami nakasalubong sa Wal-Mart na mag-ina. Yung anak nyang batang babae tumitingin din sa min na parang natutuwa na nakakita ng ibang Pinoy. But when she told her mother, "Ma, pinoy din sila". The mother told her, "I don't know."

Pero ako syempre excited akong makakita or makausap ang mga pinoy dito.

[vain]

haha, i guess thats true,some look hispanic kase... sometimes i'd look at people who i think are pinoy, and then they open their mouths and a torrent of spanish words come out.

bu then again, some of the people i think are pinoy, i smile at them and they just stare at me. actually,i take it back, i have run into some pinoys here. a mom and a kid and the kid was talking in tagalog and i was actually about to go up to the kid and say hi (im so desperate to see other filipinos hahahahhaa) but the mom was like "dont speak in tagalog,its not nice!"

tsk,tsk.. oh well... to each his own i guess. i happen to be proud of my heritage

:*)

[thebrain]

pareho tayo. proud din ako sabihin o humarap kahit kanino as pinoy.

parang nakakailang lang na nginitian mo sila tapos sila biglang titingin sa ibang direction. naisnab baga. buti pa yung mga bata.

dami mga Indians dito sa Irving, buti pa sila most of the time nag sasama sama, nagkwekwentuhan, etc. And they are the new colonizer of the america and the world by the sheer number of their presence. kaya nga most of them are successful.

[thebrain]

yehey, nakita na namin yung PALAYOK!!! andun pala sya halos katabi lang ng PNB sa Richardson. Ganda dun sa area na yun. Daming gimik places.

Wala na bang ibang wento dyan?

Next time maglalagay ako dun sa PNB ng mga cards ng PEX para dumami na pipol sa thread na to.

[FilipinaLvr]

for some weird reason...i have not run into any filipinos here in san antonio!!!


Vain,
Try Lilys Bakery on Marbach Rd.
They have food and Karaoke. Also, Sari Sari Oriental Store on Bandera and Wurzbach.


Anyway, My wife and I used to live in SA now we live in San Marcos. My wife is actually hoping to meet some Filipino friends around here.

Anyone else around?

[thirdeye]

^ I graduated from SWT..... it's a nice quiet place to live. Just 30 minutes from Austin and 45 minutes from SA. What are you guys doing in San Marcos anyway? I left there 2 years ago. I went to Austin then to Dallas and then I'm now here in Manila.

the brain - I went to Palayok years ago. It was decent pero masikip sa loob. All you can eat pero not buffet style. The food was ok. I heard there's another pinoy restaurant in Arlington but I don't know if they're still in business.

[FilipinaLvr]

Hey Thirdey, Yes San Marcos is nice and quiet unless your looking for a party :)

We just moved here from SA and hoping to find some Pinoy friends for my wife and i, although imnot filipino :)

[ariel madrid]

we went to Dallas Galleria kanina. ok din parang Robinson's Galleria pero mas malaki yung Robinson's. Meron syang ice skating rink sa gitna tulad ng sa Megamall.



pupunta ako mamaya sa Dallas G alleria.my first time ever.kararting ko lang dito sa dallas last jan.19,2005.

[thebrain]

elow ariel madrid. salamat naman may kasama na ko mag po-post dito.

yung iba kasi mukhang di aware sa PEX. Palaganapin natin to pre.

San banda ka pala sa dallas? Ako dito sa Irving sa may hidden ridge. Feb 8 kami dumating dito. Wala pa rin ako masyado kilala dito sa Irving.

Are u in vacation or relocating?

How's your trip sa Galleria?

[thebrain]

elow mga taga-IRVING dyan or dallas! meron bang manonood ng laban ni Manny Pacquiao dyan sa PPV. Makikinood naman kami dyan. Cge na po.

[thethinker]

hello pexers :) i'm here in texas as well, Houston in particular. second month of a five month job assignment. looking for other houston pexers! sarap manood ng pacquio match with fellow filipinos pa naman or just whatever gimik :)

[zen_g]

hi zen_g, medyo matagal tagal din training mo. hope to meet u and other pexers as well sometime.



Hi there :wave:

I'm back in the philippines already ....... more than 2 years na ang nakalipas ...... by the way, it's fun reading your post about the malls that you have visited ....... grapevine mills is indeed huge, galleria on the otherhand is quite pricey, but the other mall that we really like to visit is stonebriar in Frisco, if you are in 635, you have to go north at Preston Road, it's quite a long drive though :D

[zen_g]

pareho tayo. proud din ako sabihin o humarap kahit kanino as pinoy.

parang nakakailang lang na nginitian mo sila tapos sila biglang titingin sa ibang direction. naisnab baga. buti pa yung mga bata.

Nice to know that you both are proud of your lineage ...... Btw, there are a lot of Filipinos in Garland and Plano area, I can assure you that they are very nice, mga kasama ko kasi sila sa work :lol: ........ Some of the filipinos, who like me had their training there are living within the Richardson area ......

I would just like to share with you our experince when we were ther ebefore ..... When ever we go to the grocery or the Chinese market, most of the Filipinos that we met were very happy to see us, they're the ones who introduce themselves actually ...... They are actually glad to see Kababayans hanging around, they must have missed our country as well as speaking Tagalog :)

Oh, you had also tried PALAYOK ...... Naalala ko tuloy ng dinalo ko mga friends ko from work dyan, kakayuwa reaction nila sa lechon, pero like nila ang halo-halo ....... Kung miss mo turo-turo dyan ang tungo mo :)

yung iba kasi mukhang di aware sa PEX. Palaganapin natin to pre.

San banda ka pala sa dallas? Ako dito sa Irving sa may hidden ridge. Feb 8 kami dumating dito. Wala pa rin ako masyado kilala dito sa Irving.

Are u in vacation or relocating?

How's your trip sa Galleria?


hello,thebrain.
we changed plan.we went to valleyview instead.pero this coming easter sunday,sa galleria na kami mag-malling.ako naman,jan.19 dumating.nice to know na may kasama ako dito.i'm here in dallas,texas.until now,di pa ako nakakapasyal sa filipino resto o kaya sa chinese market. i would love to kaya lang di ko pa alam at gamay ang place.
i went to church kanina sa our lady of guadalupe at may nakita kaming mga pinoy at nag-tagalog pa.nginitian namin pero na-deadma kami as in parang walang nakita.grabe sa pagkamahadero at mahadera.
it's true.indians have this closer union than filipinos.in addition,they are friendlier to co-asians like filipinos.nasasabi ko nga,mas mababait pa sila kaysa kapwa pinoy.

[thebrain]

hi zen_g, salamat sa mga posts mo. pupuntahan namin yung sinasabi mong stonebriar in Frisco baka next week.

palagay ko talagang marami Pilipino sa Richardson area. probably the reason why PNB and Palayok are located in the area.

gusto ko rin talaga maka meet ng mga ibang Pilipino from time to time. sort of para mawala yung pagka home sick.

[thebrain]

howdy ariel madrid!

di pa ko nakapunta dyan sa valleyview at our lady of guadalupe. sabi ni zen_g dun daw sa may Richardson sa palayok ok daw na pinoy resto.

suplado talaga ibang pinoy. pero di ko alam baka yung iba alam mo na baka walang papeles. baka umiiwas lang.

yesterday sa palm sunday mass may nakita kaming lola na Pilipina, sabi sa min sabik na daw syang makakita ng pinoy kaya binati kami. kakatuwa lang talaga.

[thebrain]

nagpunta kami sa SIX FLAGS kahapon sa Arlington.

whew! sumakit yung leeg ko sa shockwave ride. di na namin sinubukan yung superman, yung batman saka yung iba iba pang mga umiikot ikot na rides.

but it was really fun! wala lang akong nakitang pinoy mga mehikano lang na napapatingin din sa min kasi mukha rin tayong kalahi nila maliban sa ilong. hehehe.

[wandawoman]

hows the weather here nowadays?

does anybody know any Filipino or anybody working in JC Penny in Plano? I really need some referrals.

[pay_see]

i stayed in Wichitta Falls Texas for 3 months.... to learn my job in the navy. it was fun. had ablast. the best experience is when we went to a strip club. my first time going into one. hihi. food is good. just like here in mississippi. my roommate's a texican. he's too proud to be a texan. they're being proud for them to look tall. i guess, coz texas has that distinction that most people make fun of. you know what is it. texas is very country, very southern. i love my 3-month stay there.

[vain]

sigh... ive been job hunting for a month and a half now, its so frustrating!! i guess ive gotten used sa pinas na when they see that im from a top university, sthen they offer me a job right away... ugh.. now i fully understand the term job hunting! hahaha... anyone knows where i can apply for a job?

:*)

[zen_g]

:wave: sa lahat ......

[Raingirl]

hello there! we're from Irving. my husband and i have been here for a year.


hello...my family stayed in Irving for a year...AMLI at valleyranch:) lots of pinoy friends back there...looking forward to be back in irving by end of this month ;)

[Raingirl]

Hi there :wave:

I'm back in the philippines already ....... more than 2 years na ang nakalipas ...... by the way, it's fun reading your post about the malls that you have visited ....... grapevine mills is indeed huge, galleria on the otherhand is quite pricey, but the other mall that we really like to visit is stonebriar in Frisco, if you are in 635, you have to go north at Preston Road, it's quite a long drive though :D


stonebriar is great ;) makikisabat lang hehehe i used to live in texas for a year but I am in phoenix,AZ by now for a project...miss texas a lot:(

[Raingirl]

and hey peeps...if you're looking for great food, my hubby and I really like the food ini Lion House ata or Lion City something like that...dun sya malapit sa kinukuhanan ng driver's license sa Plano...miss ko na nga food dun eh..ayan tulo-laway na ako hahaha

[thebrain]

hi raingirl :wave: great to hear from you.

are you in the IT field? maybe you can give me some IT job prospects.

Gusto ko sana sa JC Penny eh kaya lang ayaw naman nila sa kin :depressed:


Hello vain! same goes here. mahirap ba talaga maghanap ng work o talagang para sa mga puti lang nilalaan ang IT careers dito?

Sana we could get refrerrals or anything from our kababayans here.


btw raingirl, i'm in irving. kung sa valley ranch kayo, magkalapit lang pala tayo.

[vain]

hey u!

although, i have noticed that having a bachelor's degree puts me at an advantage here..... sa atin, halos lahat may bachelors degree, dito, madaming companies ang hinahanap lang nila HS degree or experience equivalent. but its so frustrating looking for a job here!! :(

San ba pinakamaganda at pinakamura mag stay dyan for a two days two nights getaway?

[FilipinaLvr]

Can you translate that to english plz, I see something about San Antonio but thats all i understand :)

Im from San Antonio, do u live here too?

[thebrain]

Hi there, FilipinaLvr!

No I dont live in San Antonio but my family and friends are planning to go there on a two day two nights getaway from Dallas and I just wanna ask you guys out there if you know of any really affordable hotel or inn to stay.

We're also kinda looking for really good two day vacation package. Maybe you guys know any discount package or coupon or contact person for either holiday inn hotel or seaworld or both.

Thanks a lot man!

[thebrain]

Howdy?

My family and other Filipino friends will be going to San Antonio for a getaway.

Anybody wanna give some tips on how to make our tour a great one?

Any suggestion on how to get Seaworld's specials passes?

[dreamweever]

hello pinoy texans... hahahaha di ko alam may thread palang ganito... had i known matagal na akong nagpost dito... you guys living in the big cities are so lucky... you have pinoy restaurants and all... i live in abilene... about three hours outside of dallas... there is nothing here... oh well... i guess there is a filipino store (which by the way is only one of two "asian" foodstores around). i live on the north side so very few pinoys here... although since there's an airforce base marami din pinoys (including nurses who work at the regional hospital). pero i miss flips ****. there are only 3 pinoys i know who go to the university i'm at and i'm the only one who speak filipino... so sad... so if y'all know anyone here hook me up!

[dreamweever]

thebrain, there's always the alamo and the riverwalk. i was up there with friends about a month ago and did the alamo (watched the imax movie of it to... it was "interesting") but according to a friend of mine who was down there for the 4th of july weekend, that's all there really is to SA (peace to all SA'ers out there)...

[thebrain]

Hello dreemweever!

Welcome to our Pinoy Texans thread!

I saw Abilene's location via Google Map and yeah it's sort of isolated.

If there's gonna be Filipino gatherings here in Dallas I'll definitely inform you so you could meet more Flips.

Meantime, keep on posting and lets invite more Pinoy Texans to post here.

[thebrain]

we had a really good time sa Seaworld in San Antonio! Shamu show is the best!!!

[putoti]

whew! ngayon lang ako nakabalik sa thread na to. hello y'all! taga irving pa rin ako.

magpopost ulit ako...mamya na...hindi ako makadiskarte sa boss ko. and babasahin ko muna *** mga ibang posts. nasa page 2 pa *** last post ko dito. :)

[putoti]

thebrain,
You were the active one here. Kumusta na? Nagkita na kaya tayo sa tabi-tabi? Hidden Ridge is fairly near my place. I have a Pinay friend from work who lives there. I live near Hackberry Creek sa tapat ng golf course along Royal Ln.

Madami na rin ako nakikita Pinoy sa Irving and Lewisville but nahihiya ako kumausap kase bka mapahiya lang ako. I always get mistaken for a Chinese so bka kaya hindi rin nila ako pinapansin.

Grabe it's still so hot in Texas!

Sa mga taga Galveston Houston area...sana ok lang kayo. Hope Rita doesn't hit directly.

[limizkid]

ey, kamusta sa lahat..ako naman from plano, cnu b malapit sa inyo dun? hehe..mejo bago ako dito, at *** p din friends hehe...sna safe kyo lahat lalo n sa mga taga houston..

[putoti]

hi limizkid! welcome! nakakapunta ako sa plano once in a while. not that far from irving. been to colin creek mall and willow bend. plano is malapit lang sa richardson. you can go to Palayok and eat Fil food. how long have you been here?

asan na *** ibang taga malapit lang? feeling friendly ako ngayon...want to meet some new friends hehe!

[limizkid]

ey, putoti..i've only been here for about a month and a half..hehe..kaya still no friends..hehe, naghahanap nga ako kapwa pinoy e..sana pwde tyo kita kits..dun sa malapit sa plano..maliligaw p kse ako pag malayo na..haha.... cheers...

[putoti]

^ i'll send you a PM...

[screamocrat]

Sa mga taga Galveston Houston area...sana ok lang kayo. Hope Rita doesn't hit directly.

Thank you for your concern. Para malaman mo, Rita didn't do a damn thing to the Houston-Galveston area. A few downed power lines, blinking streetlights, razed billboards...other than that, everything's intact. It's as if nothing happened. The local, state and federal governments all earn A-pluses for preparing everyone for what could've been another national catastrophe a la Katrina. For those Texan Pinoys who had to evacuate, kamusta na kayo?

Yung friend ko na Pinay sa Hidden Ridge may baby sya na tisay (Irish ang dad) mga 17mos old and *** mom nya ang nag-aalaga. Yung dad nya nandito rin dati but umuwi na sa Pinas. Kilala mo ba sya?

Wow kahit bago ka lang sa Irving ang dami mo kakilala. Yeah napadaan ako dati sa Nokia to withdraw sa ATM tapos may mga Pinoy ako nadinig na nag-uusap. D naman ako nakalapit para makichika na-shy ako eh. I dont know how to start a conversation.

Wala ako alam na tambayan sa Fort Worth.

[thebrain]

yeah, i know her.

we must have seen each other dun sa birthday party nung baby nya.

halos pinoy lahat ng bisita nun. kaya lang i didn't get to know everyone then

kasi nahihiya ako.

bago lang din ksi ako dito sa Texas.

[putoti]

Ow you're right! Then you must be the hubby of one of the nurses I met there. Ako lang din ang pinakabago (and pinakabata hehehe) sa group of working Pinoys na nandon.

Hindi ba kayo magpapaparty? Invite nyo ko hehehe! :)

Guys i need your help....

My friend gave me a call kanina lang. Gusto niya makausap yung asawa ng tita who's ANDRE F. KING address 8908 Park LN #167 Dallas, Texas 75231. Matagal na raw kasing patay yung tita niya, hindi man lang sila ininform ni Andre. Anyway, name ng tita niya ay JULIE C. KING....

Puede po ba magpatulong kahit makuha lang yung tel number. Or kung kakilala nio, just give to us the number so that they can call Andre. Worried kasi yung family.....

SALAMAT

[thebrain]

Sori po, mahirap ksi basta mag kuha ng phone number dito due to the people's right to privacy.

Suggestion ko lang is for your friend to send a letter to this guy and ask him for his contact number. Or he can write the Philippine Consulate here in the U.S.

[thebrain]

Ey pipol! Wazzup?

Simabng Gabi na! Meron ba dito sa Dallas, Texas na Simbang Gabi?

[dreamweever]

hey guys... share ko lang... you know how when you're in texas, people easily mistake us for mexicans kasi we're brown (well... except for those who look chinese or mestizo... me... i'm utterly brown...)... anyway, it was funny kse ever since i got here i've been mistaken for mexican, hawaiian, pacific islander and the latest was... irish... ha ha! it was actually a hispanic client of mine... sabi niya, "excuse me, are you irish?" i wanted to laugh pero siyempre hindi... every time i tell my friends here (puro puti... haaay... ala bang pinoy dyan from abilene!?! represent naman peepz! hahaha!) tawa sila ng tawa... personally i didn't think it was that funny pero they think it's sooo hilarious... eh kung pedyakin ko kaya sila isa-isa? haaaay... sorry po... pa-vent lang... medyo nawiwindang narin ako kasi christmas na... first time away from the family... alam mo na... :bop: :mecry: :bop:

Simabng Gabi na! Meron ba dito sa Dallas, Texas na Simbang Gabi?

Magtatanong tanong ako sa mga kaibigan ko. Wala yata. Meron sa Houston. Dami talagang pilipino nung minsang um attend ako.

[thebrain]

hey guys, may nakita na kong simbang gabi pero gabi talaga as in 7:30 pm.

but this is truly a Filipino simbang gabi. the priest is filipino and the mass is taglish. the best thing is most of the songs are in Filipino. so talagang masaya at mararamdaman mo talaga.

one is in St. Mark Church sa may 1201 Alma Dr. Plano, Texas and the other one is in St. Pius in 3030 Gus Thomasson Rd Dallas Texas. Both masses start at 7:30 pm from Dec 15 to Dec 22.

The last simbang gabi mass will be a concelebrated mass combining attendees of both churches to be held in St. Augustine Church 1054 N. St. Augustine Dr Dallas, Tx 75217

punta tayo lahat guys lalo na sa Dec 23.

[thebrain]

Merry Christmas sa lahat lalo na sa mga pinoy dito sa Dallas, Texas!

This is an appeal on behalf of my cousin Christine Pechera, a young Filipina-American woman who is dying from non-hodgkins lymphoma and is desperately seeking a bone marrow donor.

Her best chance for a match is someone who is full or part Filipino. Sadly, there are simply not enough Filipinos (all minorities, for that matter) registered with the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP). Can you please go to www.savechristine.com (http://www.savechristine.com)and see if you can help ? Make sure you check out her video.

Please let your Filipino friends and family know. Free self-test kits are available to Filipinos who are U.S. citizens. No blood is involved; you simply swab the inside of your cheek and mail back the kit.

She doesn't have much time left... :depressed:
Thank you and please say a prayer for Christine.

Please ask your Filipino friends and family if they can help, too.

Ilang tulog na lang, Christmas Day na!

Announcement sa lahat ng mga taga DFW area:

Kung wala kayong mapuntahan sa weekend ng Christmas, you can join us to party from the 23rd hanggang 25th sa bahay. The main event of course would be on the eve and Christmas Day. Potluck lang to, the important thing is magkakasama tayo to celebrate Jesus Christ's birthday.

So yung mga singles dyan, or yung mga nag-iisa dito sa Texas welcome kayo sa min. Reply na and I will PM my number and address to you.

We can all celebrate as one big family!

[thebrain]

Rakeena, pag natuloy kami dyan sa Houston, you can join us on New year's eve. We'll have food, karaoke and lots of kulitan. Marami kami pupunta dyan.

[rakeena]

oh i see. dito din walang ganong filipinos. i'm from cypress. galing lang kaming CA. 9 mos pa lang kami dito kaya wala pang gaanong kakilala. :)

Aws, I missed your reply thebrain ..... we went to a church (I forgot if it's St Mark) in plano last 12/14 but we did not find any ...... I'll try if we can still join .....

Btw, thank you for the warm welcome .......

[thebrain]

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

We had a great time in our Christmas Eve celebration. We started at around 3 pm and had our last round of Karaoke singing at 3 am. WOW!

Went to mass at 12 pm on the 25th. Tuwang tuwa yung mga kids. Kahit malayo tayo sa Pinas, we make the Filipino way of celebrating Christmas happen here.

Next stop would be in Houston, Texas for the New Year's Eve celebration.

God bless everyone!!!

[thebrain]

Houston, we have a touchdown.

We arrived at around 2:30 pm. Then we headed to Kemah Boardwalk. We ate at the Aquarium Restaurant. A bit expensive but not bad.

Tomorrow we will be going to Moody's Garden, will have a new Year's Eve Party and go to NASA on Monday.

WhoaaAAAA!!! Happy New Year!!!!!!!

[jerome1970]

Could you guys give us some info regarding Austin, TX? We're from Chicago and we would like to move there hopefully summer of 2007. Sa may Round Rock area. Ok ba ang area? Any negatives? Marami bang Pinoy? Nurse kami ng misis ko and mukhang maganda sa Austin dahil it's considered as the best place to live for 2006. Masyado bang maiinit? Mas mainit pa ba dyan than Manila? Sawang sawa na kami sa snow and winter. Been here in the midwest for over 14 years. Choice namin is San Diego, CA; Austin or Raleigh, NC. Post naman kayo for info please. Salamat ng marami.

[thebrain]

Nagyon pa lang eh Welcome to Texas na sa yo jerome1970!!!

Maraming noypi sa Austin Texas. In fact, meron sila dyan basketball team na from time to time e dumadayo dito sa Dallas to join tournaments. The climate there I guess is pretty much similar to Dallas. Sa Houston lang naman medyo warmer eh. Usually temperature there is 4 or 5 degrees higher than in Dallas.

Sana may mag post from Austin. Visit ka lang palagi sa Thread and I'll try to get some more info. Btw, ok din dito sa Denton, TX which is north of Dallas.

[thebrain]

Hey pipol, we're back from Houston. Touchdown in Dallas was 2:00 am Jan 2. Moody Gardens is nice although medyo expensive yung kanilang package. Better ***** kung it was bundled with Schlitterbahn. We also went and dine at boardwalk and we spent some time playing with the water sa Galveston sea wall.

Our last stop was at NASA. This time, Saturn V was available for viewing unlike last year. We didn't get to it at Gold Ribbon cause they were closed that New year's day. Sayang yung $6.99 na buffet. But anyway, mission accomplished. We had a great time with our friends plus with some other new friends.

Once again, Happy New Year!!!

[zen_g]

the brain: that was a nice new year drive there ..... I would have love to join you, but we had our christmas on the road na rin .....


Hope we'll have a nice year ahead of us guys :)

Anybody from the Denton/Lewisville area. Looking for a buddy to go fishing with. I live around the Lake Lewisville area.

[thebrain]

Welcome to the texas thread mrunner!!!

Yehey, unti-unti nadadagdagan ang mga posters natin dito.

Gusto kong matuto ng fishing.

[mrunner]

hello! found this article in the Austin Chronicle. Check it out.. It's a very good info for anybody living in the Austin area. *okay*

http://www.austinchronicle.com:80/gyrobase/Issue/story?oid=oid%3A449442

It's nice to talk to you over the phone thebrain. Maybe we can get together someday in one of the Pinoy activities in our area.

[nikkiflo]

Hello peeps, meron ditong Filipino organization sa Austin.
It is AFAA - American Filipino Austin Association. They celebrated
the Santacruzan last weekend in the capitol --- the event was a
very successful one. As usual a lot of Filipino food were shared
by everyone after the event. That's really great!

[urgudfella]

may alam ba kayong nearest outlet store sa arlington/dallas? we'll be there this june 10- aug5

[leland]

may alam ba kayong nearest outlet store sa arlington/dallas? we'll be there this june 10- aug5

Jerome, if you're still looking for info about Austin, I'm gonna chime in :D
I actually live north of Austin, maganda dito -- I like Central Texas, it's a tad cooler than Houston (where I lived previously), and nag-snow pa nga last Feb. Year-round, the weather is not bad. Summers are typically in the 90s, winter can dip into the negatives (pag may coldfront lang naman), spring and fall are perfect! It's nowhere near humid as Manila, so bearable naman ang init.
The Round Rock area is nice -- it's really booming and everything's within 10-15 min drive, only downside is the bad traffic. If you're driving to Austin on 35 it's like a giant parking lot :D
And yes, madaming Pinoy dito... unfortunately, I've yet to find a decent Pinoy or even Asian store...
HTH!

may alam ba kayong nearest outlet store sa arlington/dallas? we'll be there this june 10- aug5
Yeah, Grapevine Mills lang ang malapit-lapit. There's a cruddy one in Hillsboro, south of Dallas. If you want good outlet shopping go to San Marcos :D

[jerome1970]

^^^
Thanks, baka next year na lang kami mag-move. hopefully mabenta kagad tong bahay namin. because it's a buyers' market, medyo mahihirapan kami but it's ok, we'll see if austin would be the one for us. this christmas, travel kame sa austin. we'll find out what you texans have :)

we went to raleigh, nc last april and 2 thumbs up sa min yung city. raleigh-durham-chapel hill bale yung area. it's maybe similar to austin considering that both are college towns. unc, duke and ncsu being the schools.

pros ng north carolina; lots and lots of trees, very hilly, very green, maraming outdoor malls, and less humid than other cities in the south. cons naman is parang too laidback and malayo masyado sa pinaka big city ng nc which is charlotte, tapos 2-1/2 hours from the beach. a little far for us.

we're not expecting anything from austin, dahil sabi nila texas is very flat and not much trees. so we'll just wait and see on christmas. thanks again...

[roemar08]

Dami ba Pinoy Engineers sa TX? Dito kasi sa FL wala masyado. Di ko alam kung paano ako magiging Engineer dito sa US. Wala ako experience as Mechanical Engineer sa Pinas.

[cinemawall]

oo dude marami. sa pagkakaalam ko sa houston talaga marami. ewan ko lang sa ibang TX cities:)

[roemar08]

We're planning to move in TX once dumating na *** twin sister ng wife ko sa Corpus Christi. Wala kasi kami relative dito sa US kaya balak ng wife ko sa TX magmove once andun na ang hipag ko. Saka masmadami opportunity sa Engineering ang TX unlike dito sa FL...

[DjMOSA]

great engineering jobs in TX ....

[enaej426]

great engineering jobs in TX ....

Gusto ko makapunta sa Texas and makagpa-work. Madami opportunities ba dito for an Industrial Engineer / Supply Chain Experienced Professional like me?

Pahingi naman po ng advise!

[cinemawall]

basta sa TX maraming engineering jobs:) sobrang dami kang pagpipilian na companies

[roemar08]

Ano ba kailangan para makapagwork sa Texas ng Engineering especially Mechanical? Andito ako sa FL as H4 Visa pero *** dito masyado work as Engineer lalo na wala ako experience. Kelangan ba mag-exam ako or kelangan mag-aral ako ulit? Balita ko meron Mapua Alumni sa Texas... Sana makatulong ang pagiging Mapuan ko...

[enaej426]

Pano makapagtrabaho sa Texas, andito pa ko sa Pinas, seeking job opportunity sa US , specifically Texas.
Kaya lang mejo marami na akong nasend na resume , pero turned-down kasi Hindi ako Eligible mag-work sa US.

Any advise po naman , how to get a job there.

Thanks.

[roemar08]

^Well kelangan mo muna dumaan ng Agency sa Pinas na tutulong magprocess ng working papers mo sa US. Ano ba ang natapos mo?

[cinemawall]

can anyone here share a brief overview of Galveston.
any attractions besides beaches and museums.
chaka kung anong life meron dun if iccompare kunwari sa Houston or other TX key cities.

thanks.

[enaej426]

^Well kelangan mo muna dumaan ng Agency sa Pinas na tutulong magprocess ng working papers mo sa US. Ano ba ang natapos mo?

Industrial Engineering and natapos ko. me background ako sa Production Planning & Material Control, currently working ako as Buyer / Materials Planner .

Nagregister na ako sa workabroad.com saka monster.com, so far meron nagreply sa monster.com pero, mukhang automated , recruitment firm yung nag-respond , magsend daw ako ng resume directly sa email add nila.

[roemar08]

Magtry ka lang nang magtry magapply. Medyo maliit ang chance mo for US kasi IE ka unlike mga RN sten at PT na in demand dito sa US. Ang chance mo makapagwork dito eh mag-asawa ka ng US Citizen tapos kapag nasa US ka na pwede ka magapply sa mga company dito.

[marco_polo75052]
