Ages and ages hence,
You'll tell it with a sigh:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all of the difference.

Robert Frost

Filipina Familiarity 101- Getting To Know The Filipina

Funny things, Filipina's. Common over here, every marriage has one. My personal Filipina ( you only get one, any more is asking for trouble) is an absolute gem. She absolutely adores me, so much so that if another Filipina even looks sideways at me she gives me grief for being so "Gwapo" (handsome). You gotta love that kind of thinking! She firmly believes that all us male bears are weak, shifty, can't be trusted, born cads and bounders who will forsake our sacred vows at the raise of an eyebrow. Not true I cry! I'm the first to admit I look, but I would never touch. Basically it is a case of temptation overload. Getting a bit on the side is so easy here, and so readily available, once you started you could never stop!

I really am a one Filipina kind of Bear. I think it will take several
lifetimes and a dozen alter-ego's to figure out the Filipina I have,
so why ruin a good thing? My Asawa (wife, or spouse) loves me to death. In fact she has mentioned my imminent demise should I ever stray more than once. For a little over five feet in her rubber slippers, she packs a mean Bolo! (large machete) This little gal used to drag half a ton of Carabao down to the mud wallow every afternoon after school, so a bear is no challenge to her. She's skinny, but she's strong!
Strong willed, too! All those of you who married a Filipina because you know Asian women are subservient raise your hands. I said "married", you're still looking, put your paw down! The informed among us know the Philippines, like most of Asia, is a matriarchal society. That means the women wield the real power, they're just smart enough to let us fella's pretend we are in charge. They don't feel the need to rub it in our faces like so many of their liberated western sisters. Mind you, they do have some strange habits. Like eating green mango's and bagoong, or shrimp paste. Or sending the Bana (that's us) out for fried banana's when Buntis (pregnant-you're getting quite a lesson in Cebuano, aren't you). At 3am. Do you know how many Fried Banana-Q sellers are peddling their wares at 3am in Bogo? One. Luckily for me! Or how about the time we were driving past the cane fields and she just had to have some sugar cane.


There was I, knife in one hand, purloined sugar cane stalk in the other when I was caught red-pawed! Out from the fields lumbered the biggest cane truck ever made in a Korean shipyard. This one had Panamanian registration it was so big. And filled to the gunwales with Bolo toting cane workers. I tossed the cane into the car, explained the wife was pregnant and got the hell out of Dodge. Then we came upon an even bigger cane truck loaded to overflowing with cane. Asawa's response? "Look at all that sugar cane! Hmmm!". My only thought was where the bloody hell would I hide the damn truck? Once they get a hankering for something, you can't fight it. Just go with the flow!

Romance and Retirement!

Maybe not a concept you have even dreamed of. Many of us just hope we can find a safe clean place to live out the years after we quit working.

We have heard our Social Security will reduce us to eating cat food and living in a dark and gloomy atmosphere where we will be lonely and either abused or neglected. Did you know there is a place where maturity is admired! Where love and loyality are valued over handsome and hunky, Yes where you could be spoiled instead of abused below is one man's experience! He says he lives like a king!

Check out this link

We have every reason to believe because we didn't save every spare penny and do without the extras we will need to do without food and comfort when we retire. We dream of eating and safety not maids and attentive companions.

Interested! Well perhaps a bit of practical information is in order. When you go to a new culture even finding a place to rent or buy can be a scary experience. We have some practical information for you. Most of the experiences here are by foreign retired men living in Paradise!

Many men become interested in moving to the Philippines because they have been chatting on line with a charming and beautiful younger Filipina. They have been completely captured by the fantasy of having such a lovely and caring creature in their lives. Allow your self to dream but dream with more information and some caution. Check out the next link with an open mind. We are not denouncing your lovely lady but there are some pitfalls.
