Hello my name's Chris, nice to meet you all. This is my first ever post. I'm from Edinburgh in Scotland, which is part of the UK. I'm 33, I work at a sports shop, I like watching tv, console games, films...all the usual stuff a guy likes... ..But the most fun I've had in my life was going to see my filipino girlfriend for the 1st time ever last month (October 2015). I was there for a whole month, landed in Manila, met Rona and her family, stayed there for roughly a week, took the coach to Eastern Samar with Rona (it took 24 hours my gosh i can't sleep on the coach..) but it was totally worth it. Eastern Samar was beautiful and i met so many of Rona's relatives including her mom. Now I'm back in the Uk, alone (but living with my family), its cold, its wet and im working at 7am every other morning haha. So thats me guys, feel free to say hello (I will post a separate post in the correct section for immigration soon..)
Hi Chris and to the forum. Glad you have had the realisation of meeting a wonderful Filipina I'm sure you're still buzzing from the experience of your trip. Any questions and we will collectively do our best to assist.
Hello Chris and welcome to BF, I enjoyed reading your write up I like console games too, I'm hoping a little Filipina Santa brings me a PS4 with Fallout 4 included
Thanks for the warm welcome HaloHalo, I wish I could say I'm still buzzing, but I think I dislike my job so much that I'm losing that great feeling haha...zero hour contracts what a joke.
Haha good luck maybe she will..I actually love Fallout 3 & New Vegas but I don't own a Xbox One / PS4 so I'll have to wait hehe. I currently have a Xbox 360
As soon as I saw Fallout 4 was coming out I knew I had to have it, unfortunately I only have a PS3 which the wife bought me a few years back, it niggles me a bit that Fallout 4 isn't coming out on PS3. I have been playing Fallout 3. New Vegas for ages now, for me the best game I have ever played, even better than the Call of Duty games. Good to hear you have been to the Philippines and that you enjoyed it so much, back to reality and Skype now unfortunately but it wont always be like that
War....war never changes.... Its true, Fallout is just one of those games that I will never give away or trade-in because there's always more quests to do, unlike Call of Duty which you could possibly complete in a day haha..saying that i wouldn't mind playing that new Black Ops 3 game..you'll never catch me paying full price for it though (I still haven't played Black Ops 2 or CoD:Advanced Warfare) Yep back to reality and finding a way to be together again...I really must write that posts..
hi Chris--and welcome to the site. you may hate your job--most guys do--but--have you checked out the earnings rules if your thinking of sponsoring your lady ?
Hello Chris and a warm welcome to British Filipino. If you think you could just be embarking on a long relationship, do take time to peruse the forums and absorb all the information.
Hello nice to meet you, I haven't properly took the time to research in depth but from what my asawa ko to be tells me, I need to be earning £18,000 per year, which I definitely don't earn right now so I need a better job
Hello Howerd nice to meet you, I will at some point soon take the time to read alot of posts, it was actually a Google search result that brought me here to find so many people in the same boat as myself, I read 2 different members struggles with immigration laws and saw how supportive the forum members where
Hey there Chris, welcome aboard as so to say. Fallout 4 isn't just amazing, it's off the scale. Think most of my Xbox live friends have abandoned Destiny (Which we were playing to hell) for this, and it's all anyone talks about on our FB group. There's no way it would have run on last gen though, the graphics are something else. Price of consoles are coming down, but it's still a big buy I guess
Hi Welcome Chris If you cant make the financial requirements there are other European options if you have a willingness to adventure, having been to the Fils i guess you do
Welcome aboard. All I can say, really, is that you should start looking for a better paying job, with better future prospects and leave expensive games and gadgets. Filipinas have a special knack of taking over your life, and consequently, one has to comply and desist in any other activity... 0 hour contract, huh..?? Sounds like you being Sportdirect victim........
I know, I've seen the graphics in person as my younger brother has it on PC running at very high settings I'd rather get a console myself..at least as you say the prices are going down to £299 for either now, I could trade my old 360 in but..its hard to part with that haha i've had it so long and its served me well...saying that..Xbox One's backwards compatability is looking nice...
