hi.

I'm really just curious. I have cousins who grew up abroad and has never set foot in the Philippines. Of course when I ask them the same question, their answer would always be "yes" because, well, that would be that "polite" answer.

But I'd like to hear it from people I don't/hardly know, and vice versa. Smile thanks!

I was born here in Australia ... both my parents are born in the Philippines though.

It's okay here, but i really don't like the heat much. Though it could be worse in The Phils?

I've been to the Philippines a couple of times but it cost a lot to go there so i haven't been for years. We still keep in contact with relatives there and such.

I like being able to know another language ...

I think the heat is worse in the Phils, only because its humid.

I was born in Bacolod city,
i moved out of there wheni was two to Australia.
I had to learn english when i got here, i still have a weird accent.
( esp. when i say ' four' )

I visited the Phils last year, it was amazing.
i love Boracay
and Manila, the shopping is so cheap.
the only thing is, the sizes are too small :\

well, there's the SM Mall of Asia now...it's supposed to be the biggest in Asia and the 3rd largest in the world. Very Happy

wow, lucky you: I'm living in the Phils all my life yet the closest as I have been to stepping on the shores of Boracay is when my sister brought home a plastic bag filled with Boracay sand from her trip. Ahahaha.

On another note when I was in grade 5 I made friends with girls with limited English after a while I stopped talking to them becuase comunicating got too hard

One time in SM I was bored so I put all the tester nail polish on my self, and one of the ladies who worked there came up to me and said something to me..I didn't understand her as I only know English and Indonesian, so I walked away when she wasn't looking
