Baka Sir kumportable lang? Feel nya na safe place/environment yung Tsikot to express herself/himself dito without judgement(s)? Or minsan wrong choice of words / terms..

Baka lang naman po (giving her/him the benefit of the doubt). [emoji4]

My Uncle had to work in a hotel as a staff. He told me yung receptionist sa hotel na pinoy, saw him and another Filipino nagtutulak ng luggage and the receptionist said "yung 2 abogado nagtutulak ng maleta" (something to that effect) OMG! What an ahole.

Either tamad or walang oras? I find healthy food cheap here in the US. Sa Manila tipid na tipid ako sa fresh mushroom. Dito USD3 worth of mushrooms, more than a week ko kinakain araw araw. Healthy fruits (pang keto) like berries 99c lang isang pack. Lettuce na 5 heads, USD3 din lang ata. Fresh Salmon, cheese and nuts (almond, pistachio, pecans etc) ang mura din, definitely easier to go low carb here. Yun lang, you have to prepare talaga.

Sa bahay pala we drink individual bottled water kasi USD1.99 lang for 24 pcs of 500 ml. Siguro yung matataba choose the easy to eat food lang. I don't eat fast food here kasi namamahalan ako

Exception ata yung pinay na kilala mo? All my first degree cousins from my Mom's side, their parents paid for their University. When they got married, they were given either money or a house to help them start. That's a very Filipino trait yung parents talaga bahala sa college at start up pag nag asawa.

I was also supposed to study in the US for college which my Aunt and Uncle (who has no child) offered to pay for. Pero ayoko talaga umalis Manila and that's too huge a favor, nakakahiya. So I thought the college student loan problem is only a caucasian problem.

That's true. I live with my second degree Uncle and Aunt, hindi naman ako pinapabayad but my Mom said out of politeness, I also have to give money for my usage of kuryente and water. I know tatanggi but my Mom gave me instructions to give a Thank you card just before I leave and enclose the money there. Nakikipag unahan din ako sa bayaran ng grocery and resto. I have another Aunt who is well off, na definitely hindi ko kailangan magbigay but I don't wanna live with her kasi boring.

That pinay’s family is really well off. Unfortunately, the parents decided she has to pay her way through College. I am not privy to why the parents decided so. I know she used to study in UP but decided to study in the US. I think the parents paid for her 1st year only. I don’t know her personally. She was just introduced by a client to me for advise.

I think she has one year to go and she's free of student debt.

She also works when she's not in class. So, each semester is quite busy for her.

I got my BS in Computer Science last year. I used the 9-11 GI Bill and the VA. So, I'm also free of student debt.

The next one is my youngest daughter. She's not exactly academically inclined (so far). So, we'll probably have to spend more on her when she goes to college.

Come to think of it, should you be a US citizen to avail of a loan?

Nope, student loans are offered to those who qualify, regardless of citizenship.

I knew someone from Cebu before who proudly states that he is only fluent in two languages, Cebuano and English. Hehehehe
