Hello Everyone, My Name is Paul, my nickname wizard, I am here due to meeting a wonderful Filipina at the end of 2015, We met on Filipino cupid in Nov15 and had many back and forth conversations, we also skyped several times and had good talks. Her Name is Michelle and is from Laram San Pedro Laguna. I took my first visit in Feb of 2016. I was soo nervous and excited but after 10 minutes of meeting I knew we where sweet. we stayed in and around manila and Alabang and also going to her home in laram. Of course the first thing to hit you in Phil is the humidity which was intense at times, but I have now been 4 times and slowly getting use to. Another thing to notice there is that people smile more than the UK no matter what the situation, I have seen and read about the poverty and also the meth issue and how duterte is dealing with that, that is a debate on its own so will leave for now. Yes my first jeepney ride was an experience as I banged my head getting on haha. I really do like the Philippines and we have been talking on that's where we would like to retire. We have travelled a little too, going to Puerto princessa and Tagaytay, we also went to Hong Kong as Michelle had not been out of the country and thought would be nice for her. We applied for Michelle to visit the UK but where denied siting not enough funds in Michelle`s account which was true and also that they thought Michelle would not return home as no employment and the home is not in her name(moms name) and her son is over 16. this was last year, we decided to concentrate on Michelle`s annulment before reapplying. The annulment is ongoing and Michelles first hearing is on tuesday3rd. I am due to fly out again on the 12 April for nearly three weeks. We are staying in Malate for 4 days before going to Laram to stay at michelle` house. I want to see the Museum and Rizal Park etc. Thankyou for reading and apologies if vague, I have just realized I haven't written anything like this for a long time so am a little rusty. If you have any questions then go for it . warm regards to you all. Paul
