Here Or There?

[DonImus]

My amboy cousin summed it up when he quipped, 'You honk and have someone open the gates for you? Cool!'.

Although I think we're just too cheap to buy that automatic garage door thingee. Oh well, you can't have 'em all.

I agree with Defiant...

I was born here, lived here for 4 years, raised in the US but back here to live it out!

 

I love the US but like other members have already mentioned, its good here in the Philippines for the life.

Granted and thankfully I was able to find a high paying job here, but over in the US, you need to work crazy hard to live really good. I lived in NJ and taxes and the cost of living versus what I was earning was not "milk and honey" haha It was more money, more problems!

 

Its fun here in Manila, I work 5 days and sometimes even 7 days, 40+ hours a week. What I'm doing here is quite fulfilling. I'm doing what I like which is to help people, I help people go abroad so that they can have the opportunity my parents and I had living abroad. I always here from people that im baliktad, which I am but there's something about living in the homeland.

 

I've been out here in Manila for just about a year now and still loving it with the exception that I gained weight heheheh Food tastes great out here and is quite affordable if you go to the right places.

 

Okay, my two cents... eRr or should I say two centavos hehe

 

It really depends. If you're successful in the Philippines and you're earning a lot of money why go abroad? I wouldn't even migrate to the US if I'm making big bucks in the Philippines. Let's face it when I was still there I was just an employee. I was working as a call center agent in one of the top call centers in the Philippines. It's good if you're not supporting your own family. You get to keep a large percentage of your salary. But that's not the case.

 

I just took advantage of an opportunity to migrate to the US when a friend offered me to work for his company. He handled my petition although I miss our country I'm happy working here in the US because I'm able to support my family and at the same time I'm able to buy things that I couldn't buy in our country when I was still based there.

mas gusto ko pa mag drive ng jeepney dito sa pinas kaysa mag abroad pero nung araw mas masarap sa abroad kayang kaya mag pa inom ng buong barangay pag bakasyon ngayon ang kukuripot ng mga galing ng abroad hahaha mahirap na rin daw ang buhay. yung tatay ko nga sa san jose namumulot pa ng lata ng softdrinks dito sa pinas di nya ginagawa yun.

[Niru]

if the opportunity came why not???

 

one of the advantages living in the Phil. is that napaka-simple ng Standard of Living, marami naghihirap sa pinas kaya hindi pansin un but compare to other countries simple lang ang buhay sa pinas.

 

but still if opportunity came i would prefer to migrate in other country. :zorro:

I am willing to risk living outside the planet earth of there is a possibility.

[wanlei]

i wanna stay as much as possible..

[mwah]

No plans. Not unless the Prince of Wales asks me to marry him. Hahahaha.

[BallBreaker]

destined. it's Vegas baby!

 

 

but the plan is to go and live there for a few decades. I mean, the opportunity is there already, and we shouldn't waste opportunities. still, everything we earn, we'll invest it here. I also can't think of any place to spend my end of days aside from here.
