Filipina 'A', Filipina 'B', or Filipina 'C' ? Which One?
Posted: May 9th, 2012, 6:21 pm
I've been on Cherry Blossoms for a couple of months and I think I've found three potentially good women.
Filipina 'A': 43 year-old nursing student, lives in Cebu City, has her own home, and has just graduated from nursing school. Writes her licencing exam in late June. I've offered to pay part of her airfare
if she will come visit me in Canada where I live. She wants to do that and thinks she'd like to stay for two or three months. We've discussed the option of getting a tourist visa for her to come visit.
I've warned her that the immigration department in Canada routinely denies tourist visas to Filipinos because so many of them overstay. She's not worried about this and says if that happens, she wants
me to come to the Philippines and stay with her for a couple of weeks anyway. She's considering working in Israel when she gets her licence, but this isn't definite, and has suggested that I could fly with her to
Israel on the way back, stay with her a few days there, and head back home. She worked in Israel for 10 years as a nanny. She hasn't yet got an annulment for her first marriage, but claims to know a judge who could help her expedite the process.
Filipina 'B': A little plain-looking, 30 years old and works in an electronics factory in Danao City. Has no family save for some aunts and uncles and cousins. Although we've known each other for a month, and have
chatted on webcam extensively, she seems to be absolutely nuts about me. She has not asked me for money and says she doesn't want anything but me. Her feelings for me seem sincere.
Filipina 'C': 48 years old, with a son who is now 26. She lives in a suburb of Manila and works as a loans administrator in a financial institution. Her English is excellent, and we really seem to have a lot in common.
Haven't seen her on webcam because hers is broken. But she did go to a nearby internet cafe in a mall to chat with me and I missed the agreed-upon time.
I'm less concerned about age because I'm pushing 50 and don't want kids. Filipina 'A' seems the strongest as a potential marriage partner. Filipina 'B' is really sweet and would probably make a good wife,
but I wonder if she could adapt to life in Canada. She has something like a kind of innocence about her, so I have to wonder. My plan is to bring someone back, live in Canada for ten years, then retire and expat to the Philippines or somewhere else where my pension cheque would go a long way.
If you were in my shoes, which one would you pick? Even if the tourist visa thing with 'A' doesn't work (and it probably won't) I'm planning a visit to the PI this fall so I can meet all three of these women.
