"Hi. My name is Christian. I am a 2nd year law student in Oklahoma City, though I am from Seattle." Christian had actually transferred from a school located in Connecticut into a school in Oklahoma in order to reduce costs for at the time tuition at a private law school averaged $18,000 per year, not including other costs. Although Christian was considered somewhat gifted, he never put in more than a minimum effort in his studies.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Liezl. I work as an analyst for a bank in Makati. I have an MBA from Ateneo de Manila. Originally, my family came from Negros Occidental. I have been living with my aunt in Quezon City for the past few years. I take the LRT to work every morning."

That's how they introduced themselves in the Yahoo chatroom?

All the time I though it was like, 'ASL pls'...

[Nils]

What is a "pexer"? Please write standard English as I do not understand enough Tagalog for my translations to matter.

The thread title is 'Relationship stemming from PinoyExchange. PExers are members of this forum.

From your story, you and your wife met in Yahoo chat and not PEx, so I ask, why did you post your story here?

Why not? Did you not find it entertaining?

It's called a condensed non-fiction creative writing story with some license in less than 30 minutes.

[Nils]

Why not?

Because it's not related at all to the topic? Do you discuss things about your sick dog when you are presenting your case about a rape charge?

Did you not find it entertaining?

"The airline employees kept whispering and smiling, mentioning "movie star", "guapo", "'galing, etc." <--- that part was entertaining... especially the "galing" comment... it's mind boggling why they said that... what were they referring to? were you doing back flips in the airport? were you moving like jagger?

"toilet that needs water to flush," <--- this one is entertaining too... i haven't been to the US so I wouldn't know what americans use when they flush their toilets... whisky? vodka? crude oil? aviation fuel?

[JoBoy08]

in fairness to him, he's obviously unfamilar with PEx, but the PinoyExchange may have given him a different meaning.

and the "galing" could have meant "from" rather than "excellent performer".

the water for flushing baffles me also. hahah. waterless bowls like the waterless urinals???

[purpleheadd07]

baka kasi kailangan pa ng timba at tabo para makapag flush. sa kanila kasi de pihit lang.

[Nils]

and the "galing" could have meant "from" rather than "excellent performer".

not really... the tags that were being used by the crew, according to our writer, are praises about him... "movie star, guapo, galing, etc"... 'from outer space' doesn't really fit with self-aggrandizing comments...

[JoBoy08]

okay, if hinde "from" at talagang adjective yung "galing", baka "galing magdala ng damit" or "galing magbuhat ng bagahe". hahaha! may porter talent pa pala.

Toilets that must have water poured into them for excrement to be removed. In other words, the mechanical flush mechanism is absent so the poured water is a mechanism substitute. The above referring to a sick dog is a non-sequitur comparison. Pinoy exchange and online chat rooms share the common theme of potential online romance. As for the female airline employees, I'm not sure why they behaved the way that they did.
Why have you not been to America? A plane ticket and tourist visa are reasonably priced.

I don't feel that I'm self-important. I only heard and saw what I experienced. Remember, I don't speak Tagalog. For all I knew back then some words could have meant *******, **********, ugly, etc. I am only repeating what I had heard. Otherwise, I would be writing in Taglish or standard Manila Tagalog.

This is so sad. It means that you have never seen a toilet full of water that needs poured water into the bowl for the toilet to flush. My brown wife is from a poor background. Her father left his family who were landowners in the Visayas. He became a driver for a well to do family in Angeles City. My wife's mother was a maid.

Rest assured that I am not what you would call privileged and well to do simply because I am in the United States. My Chinese father's family had a successful electronics store for almost 50 years in the Philippines. I have learned to always be humble and to always be thankful for the Philippines and its people. Without the Philippines, my Chinese side of the family would still be living in poverty in China. For the past 100 years, they have become middle class in the Philippines. I refuse to look down upon anyone that has less means than myself. I am on this forum generally to be helpful towards others, perhaps even offer insight into different things. I also would like to form a greater social network and exchange stories and information with others. I will be buying a small condominium unit in Metro Manila because I know that I cannot live in Seattle or any other place in America when I get too old to take care of myself. Also, this place will be used for relatives there that would like to attend graduate or professional school. My plan is to help them by paying for their expenses. Contrary to what people think, not everyone in a family of well to do people are all equally well to do. Some of my relatives, yes on the Chinese side, need help to pay for Ateneo Law or a joint JD/MBA program. I encourage any of my relatives to study whatever they want to study including literature. I use the above simply as an example because there is one relative that would like to attend Ateneo after undergraduate studies at another college in Manila.

Cool Story Bro.

Toilets that must have water poured into them for excrement to be removed. In other words, the mechanical flush mechanism is absent so the poured water is a mechanism substitute.

So it's the mechanism that is absent. You should have said so. People might think there are frictionless toilet bowls already being used in America that's why they don't need water to flush waste down. Since you are an aspiring writer, you should know how to communicate the message you want to be received instead of just writing out something that simply creates confusion.

The above referring to a sick dog is a non-sequitur comparison. Pinoy exchange and online chat rooms share the common theme of potential online romance.

So you mean to say, when there is a celebration for Vietnam veterans, gangsters from all over can come too since gangster do violence too just like those who went to Vietnam? You don't seem to understand the requirment set by the thread title, the couple must be PExers. Not just any pair who met in the internet, not a dating site for maid order brides, not chatrooms, not some other online forum but one specific site.

As for the female airline employees, I'm not sure why they behaved the way that they did.

Yup! You just included what they said because what they did is completely related to your love affair. It has a relevance to the romantic story you wrote.

Why have you not been to America? A plane ticket and tourist visa are reasonably priced.

Because I'm just a poor pinoy. Our toilets don't have mechanisms to flush the waste with a flick of the hand, I'd rather use the fare money and buy an advanced toilet like what you have in America. I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy using that flush for over a month! Might become my hobby for life!

I'm not some Spanish aristocrat from the Philippines. My family 100 years ago was worse off than yours. We were not given anything at all when we first immigrated to the Philippines. You seem to be very critical of what I write. I would love to have this conversation with you face to face. I am a very direct person. Not to worry, I won't hold your poverty against you, I might even take you out to a nice restaurant such as Alba's in Makati. What is your phone number and address? Include your name as well. I will be sure to copy this information and set it aside for the future. Mine is Christian Santiago 3024 NE 143rd Street Apt 101 Seattle, WA, 98125. My phone number is 206.496.5477. I would love to clear up this so called confusion face to face. More non-sequiturs on your part by the way. It is irrelevant where the online experience takes place. You don't control the content on this site. I'm sure we can discuss all of this face to face when I visit Manila. If you don't live in Manila then we can make arrangements. I enjoy meeting new people and hope to be dazzled by your genius.

[F-A Soldier]

LOOL Please continue.

[christian5327]

LOOL Please continue.

I will be patiently waiting for this person's full name, address and telephone number. I am sure this person and I can have a discussion over a champagne brunch somewhere in Makati or Manila. I never write checks with my mouth that my a$$ cannot cash.

[Nils]

Now why would I want to spend some time and risk indigestion with a wannabe writer whose composition I really did not like?


BTW, do you even realize it's such a dumb idea to post personal details in the web?

[F-A Soldier]

Christian dude I just looked up your address, offtopic but was this your old vending company?
