Migrate or not to migrate to the U.S.

[_Cathy_]

Go for it Cath. At least Trump's idiosyncrasies are acceptable. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

It's an immigrant visa so once I give this up, I won't have a second chance anymore. I have 10% that wants to go only for the US passport. Yun lang gusto ko, but I have to stay 5 yrs there and that is a long time to be a bum. 40s na ko pagbalik ko dito and would be hard to find a job in corporate.

My Mom will make my life a living hell if I disappoint her, also my Aunt who helps me out a lot (siya yung financial sponsor ko) will not be happy as well

Also, alam ko a lot of people would jump at the opportunity to become a resident/citizen sa US and the nerve of me to reject it.

Hirap lang talaga kasi masaya naman ako sa Pilipinas but my 2 close friends are encouraging me to go kasi iba pa rin daw may US passport

If thats the case, then go ahead and dont look back. Opportunity of a lifetime yan.

In most cases talaga people who migrate to western countries end up working blue collar jobs. Lunok lang talaga ng pride. Pero hindi naman permanent yun.

I’m also prepared to do that. Work blue collar jobs i mean. For a better future for my family.

Can we trade visas?
My recent trip has solidify my want to migrate there asap.

For a couple of years now, i feel like an ofw. Baliktad nga lang. Nagtratrabaho dito sa pinas for a year then go there for weeks para magbakasyon.

Just count your blessings since what you already have is what others want in the first place.

A blessing many pray for. No kids, no spouse, no baggage. No brainer, ma'am. A life of whatcudabeens can be meaningless. Carpe diem!!! Your only investment is time.
If this were a poll, LEAVE would be unanimous....Unless, you're among us, the foolish few, who opted to serve our purgatory sentence out, here & now.[emoji4]

recently I met one of my closest friends in San francisco dito sa BGC, they live in a beautiful town in the outskirts of San Francisco. I stayed there also some 9 years ago. I love their place.

now, they told me they want to come back here and buy a piece of land coz of this

California Wild Fire basta siusunugin na lang anything on its path, parang Scorched Earth ni Nazi Hitler pero this time nature ang gumagawa. even the fire fighters who are called to fight the fire. are dying also

kung sweldo lang ang pag uusapan madami mga mas malaki ang sweldo nag migrate parin sa States, Canada, etc. yung iba may business pa

it's no longer about money. it's coz they wanna leave the 3rd world. the incompetence of 3rd world govt

they wanna be taken care of by competent govt. they wanna be in a country where human life has higher value

This is so true! I know a lot of people with very comfortable lives in the PH that left the country. Recently, I noticed even more FB friends migrating to the West (US/Canada).

What surprises me, even showbiz people are leaving the PH. They have fame and money here but still chose to migrate to a country where they will be nobodies and second class citizens (they aren't white)

an ex-classmate once told me na masaya din to live a normal life.

they can go to a mall, eat cheap/street food, and be a normal person.

Egalitarians would choose to live a middle class life in a first world country rather than a wealthy lifestyle in a 3rd world country. What's there to enjoy when everyone around you is suffering in poverty?

member sila ng Star Circle. di naman ganon ka-popular, pero meron pa din daw pa-isa-isang selfie when they go to the mall

Pwede din naman yan dito for as long as you're not a celebrity. May mga taga AAV ako na meet na ordinary looking people who go out and mingle with ordinary people in ordinary places.

Dude, stay in the Philippines. Americans are leaving the US and moving to the Philippines. Once our youngest kid goes off to college, we're moving to the Philippines too.

If you do plan to move there? Join the military (get US citizenship with PH dual), retire in 20 years, and then come back to the Philippines with a pension (and/or VA disability compensation) plus Social Security later on. Spend those US $$$ in the Philippines.

[Jun aka Pekto]

Also, as much as I love the quiet life where I am right now? I like how the people in the Philippines still have a cheerful demeanor even with poverty. I spent a few years there. A whole year was spent living and mingling among the squatter folks. They're poor. But, they certainly aren't bad. I felt more at ease with them than the "rich" folks I later lived among with.

Here in the US? You're going to be alone a lot. That's fine if you're like me. I like being alone. Yet, somehow, I ended up getting married and having a family.

But, if you like to socialize and close ties like in the PH? Forget it. You're going to be homesick a lot.

If you do a short research on racially motivated hate crimes on Filipinos, you'll find out most of the perpetrators aren't white. Who they are? Do the research.

Most probably black. But how did this become about hate crimes. What I'm saying is NON caucasians or non white people will always be second class citizens/minorities in the USA.

I have nothing against white people, in fact, I prefer to be around them.

How do you think all non-whites are second class citizens? Gimme some bullet points. We'll go through each one.

Wala ako kamag-anak sa US.. Ramdam na ramdam ko yung homesickness and loneliness.. 1 month lang ako sa US (Kansas-Chicago-Michigan-Kansas).. Maliban sa Kansas, every day ibang tao nakakahalubilo ko at ako lang mag-isa sa hotel. Ok lang kapag nasa work, meron kausap pero yung weekend and after work.. Ang lungkot, lalo na winter ako nagpunta..
Sa una lang masaya ang winter at snow.. Pero sobra lungkot naidulot sakin nung weather..
Swerte kapag may kamag-anak sa US, mas madali ang buhay.. Pero kung mag-isa, di ko kaya ang lungkot.. Kaya siguro madaming baliw dun.. [emoji1308][emoji16] (joke lang)
Baka mas masaya siguro sa California.. Balita ko 2nd language daw ng Cali ang Filipino at meron daw subject sa school.. Mas mahal nga lang cost of living dun..

Malungkot talaga kaya dapat may boy toy [emoji16][emoji3577]
