im talking general, but with him marami ngang control ang pilipinas sa maraming bagay. hindi na ako na surprise dun sa staement or isinulat nya, which is true.

Yes, he has quite a blog and he says he is not a republican? I like how you commented Bugsey.

Where else in the World besides in the PI do you find a very colorful Jeepney? No where! Yes, everyone has a hanky to cover their nose while riding. I have been to the PI twice now and I enjoyed every trip, to the point I did not want to come back to the states. In fact I was going to stay in a hotel when I got to where my Ivy lived, but she kind of threw me a challenge to live as a Flipino for a week and I did not have any problems, yes I know, no hot water, no ac, just a lot of family closeness, love and friendship and oh, yes three in a bed. I have a few friends that live around there also. Did you know a lot of people always move here and there trying to find greener pastures, but I have found it is what you make of where you live that will determine the pasture and the work you put into it will determine how green it is.

I know people here will find it strange to walk into my bathroom and find a bucket and an extra set of wash clothes and towels, but I want my BB Girl to feel at home when she gets here.
Peace and Luv
Alan

Hi Alan, perhaps you should get in touch with the owner of the website.. he's a nice person and his site is VERY intelligent :)

Hi all... I'm looking for some links to some good English-speaking Pinoy/Pinay blogs. If anyone can point me to some... I need at least 20 or so.

BTW, my wife is a Filipino-American, dual-citizen. Me, just a white dude from the U.S.
bugsey wrote on Apr 14, '07
try clicking briangriffin , davellorito, and from their pages you get the purely english speaking ones:)
bugsey wrote on Apr 14, '07
http://briangriffith.multiply.com - a good place to start for pure english blogs!

I am American and visit this site often....just curious why you need at least 20 english blogs. Are you doing an experiment, conducting a test, what? There are plenty of people here that do speak english.
rtcunningham wrote on Apr 14, '07
Kinda sorta an experiment. I just didn't want to be pointed to Tagalog or whatever only blogs. I speak Tagalog, but I can't read it very well at all.
michigangal wrote on Apr 14, '07
Just curious if you are related to Gregory Cunningham. He was stationed in the Philippines and he married a filipina and now they live close to me here in the U.S.
michigangal wrote on Apr 14, '07
Hmmmm now you have my curiousity as to what kind of experiment you would like to conduct that you come to this site.

Why are you curious? Just curious about why you are curious... LOL!
rtcunningham wrote on Apr 14, '07
No, no relation. Oh, Bugsey started it by talking about my site. :-)

It's a link experiment. Part of my drive-by campaign.
michigangal wrote on Apr 14, '07
Drive by as in drive-by shootings? LOL
bugsey wrote on Apr 14, '07
Yes I did, I like your site, it has more doses of reality than some other ones! hahhahaha!
michigangal wrote on Apr 14, '07
Bugsey, curiousity...okie being nosey always gets me. Just wondering why he comes to this blog looking for 20 english blogs when probably 90 percent of the people here speak english.
lahlahland wrote on Apr 14, '07, edited on Apr 14, '07
He means English, even the comments right? I like his blog too. Now, I am also curious.
lahlahland wrote on Apr 14, '07

Do you have violent tendencies?
michigangal wrote on Apr 14, '07, edited on Apr 14, '07
I growl a lot....fortunately my mouth stopped foaming a few days ago. You see I am overdue for my next rabies shots. LOL
rtcunningham wrote on Apr 14, '07
Hahahahaha... ah, people... It's just another term for surfing. I'm tired of using the term "web surfing" so I use "blog drive-bys".
rtcunningham wrote on Apr 14, '07
Perhaps I should have been much more specific. I'm looking for Filipino blogs where the authors write in English.
michigangal wrote on Apr 14, '07
There are plenty of Filipino bloogers here who do write in English. Are you looking for a specific topic?

I sent you a pm :) You can find them there:)

Gee, who'd ever believe a St. Bern could type!
rtcunningham wrote on Apr 14, '07
No, not specific.
michigangal wrote on Apr 14, '07
hahahahaha yeppers....but I draw the line when it comes to singing....then I would tend to empty the room. Will stick to growling and howling. LOL
bugsey wrote on Apr 14, '07

Okie, I get what you mean. What sort of specific quality and content are the blogs you are looking for?
bugsey wrote on Apr 14, '07

Hey girl you sing great, when you sing I recall "wma". LOL!
michigangal wrote on Apr 14, '07
rt - just a suggestion, you might want to check out Bugsey's Forrest Gump blog.
bugsey wrote on Apr 14, '07
hahahahhahhaahahhahah! yah nut!
michigangal wrote on Apr 14, '07
bugsey - seemed perfectly normal to me. LOL
lahlahland wrote on Apr 14, '07
I loved that Forrest Gump impression of Bugsey, the one about her critique of that slut Nicole is good. I suggest you read it.
lahlahland wrote on Apr 14, '07
bugsey - seemed perfectly normal to me. LOL
Me too, it was normal for Bugsey.
michigangal wrote on Apr 14, '07
I miss the "Nicole saga". I am not sure if there is anything normal for bugsey though. LOL Luv yah Bugs! LOLOLOL
rtcunningham wrote on Apr 14, '07
Nothing specific at all. Just good writing.
bugsey wrote on Apr 15, '07
Everyone is good here.:)
michigangal wrote on Apr 15, '07
rt - i was having fun with you. I hope you find the sites you are looking for. If there is something we can help with any of us would try....it is a good group here.
rtcunningham wrote on Apr 15, '07
I knew that. I'm just extremely busy right now. If I didn't receive the email notification, I wouldn't be here right now. Busy, busy, busy.
michigangal wrote on Apr 15, '07
One thing I have learned is that keeping busy keeps you out of trouble!! LOL
michigangal wrote on Apr 15, '07
I think that's the only reason Bugsey and I haven't robbed the bank yet. We have been too busy to make our get-away plans. LOLOL
bugsey wrote on Apr 15, '07
We will very soon after I get the secret numbers of the 35th safe and when I know when the guard dogs are in heat, will bring a male one!

Didn't he say his wife has dual citizenship, with a Filipino passport she got in 2005 in conjunction with her US passport?
bugsey wrote on Apr 16, '07
Yes that's why I said he lives here, he says so in his site.. lives at Subic and is now in angst too because of de heat!
nagpanaoan wrote on Apr 16, '07
Can't really blame him. It is really humid there. If it's hot for a Pinoy, so much more for them who are used with a/c.
rtcunningham wrote on Apr 17, '07
Yes, I'm dying over here! Three days at 35/95 degrees and 60-90% humidity. This isn't an island, it's a sauna.
bugsey wrote on Apr 17, '07
Text me! I have cooling tips :) hahahhahahah!
rambonsly wrote on Apr 17, '07
Bugs, tell him, "basta aircon!" hahahahahahaa.
bugsey wrote on Apr 18, '07
That's what I told him but he said he didn't have one now .. must be really bad for him this heat!
