Oh, I can breathe now! Cool! And thanks for understanding that it was just a question and not blowing it out of proportion like some other people here..............

i dont really know if its a filipino thing, i mean i know thats a pretty typical asian tradition, but my bf's family isnt even like that (hes also filipino) it just depends i guess.. to me i find it really funny.. and kinda ridiculous at some point..

(IMO) It is kind of "ridiculous", like you've stated above. It takes time to find someone to get "hitched" to. Not necessarily just by your age.
In Hawaii, it's a lot of my Filipino friends I notice who have that type of living standard. Some Japanese too, but they don't stress it like I've seen the Filipinos I know do. The Japanese people I know just worry about work first, then a "life"! Which serves purpose 'cause you can't take care of a family if you work for, per say, McDonald's (like I used to in high school ) !!!

NP, i think i know who ure talking about but ure right, i do notice that some filipino families cared more about marriage and all that once u turn in ur mid-20s.. though my folks are different from my relatives, they want me to finish school then get married.. i think in the philippines, when ure like in ur mid-20s, ure done with school and i think my aunts were still hung up on that stage, thinking that all lifestyle are all the same or something.. and what i hate about them too, is that theyre big gossipers.. lol i think mostly asian families are anyway

from my experience that is.

Quite the pressure it puts on you huh?! Must be tough. But, after all, this ain't "caveman" times. And they should realize that already. (IMO)

Excellent support! Your parents must be really supportive people huh?!

Too bad it's like that for you. Even though you don't agree with your aunties and whatnot, tradition is hard to break. (Which they are living in) Give them a break, and have them understand your "traditions" as a 2nd/3rd generation. (If they can't, too bad 'cause it won't change) -- (You ain't gonna live in the Phillipines right?!)

Even Japanese LOVE to gossip. When I was in Japan, I stayed at my gf's house. All the "Obaachan" neighbors were all gossiping on who I was and what kind of relationship I had with her. Unluckily for t hem, I understood everything that they were saying.

[MixxDreamer]

yeh i think im gonna be the first person to break off that tradition anyway.. i mean shoot this is my life im running to.. not theirs
and yes my folks are really supportive, my mom is kinda bitter when it comes to relationships though, cuz she thinks im still young and i shouldnt be going out (<~~ i like this face) heck she just recently agreed bout my sister getting married this year, when shes been in a relationship for 9 years now (plus shes 3 yrs. older than me).. but in a way i know theyre just lookin out for me

yeh same goes with me, my relatives would talk in bisaya (a different filipino language) not knowing for them that i could understand it pretty well

It's your life. If you want to make the best of it, you can't live by other peoples' standards! Or else you'll be doing what they want to do.

You have to live by your own!

Your mom seems cool. She's just looking out for you if anything. Hey, it could be worse. She could demand that you get married soon. But she seems on higher standards than that.

I think I might know a little words in Bisayan 'cause I used to work at McDonald's in Hawaii and all......... (Plenty of Filipino managers only talking Filipino at work)

Ah, mou ii! Valentine's day is over and I didn't get anything from gf in Japan except for some video tapes of Japanese programs. Nothing else special.

No. I'm sure. But what words I know, I'm not sure.

I know there is Tagalog, Iilokano, and Bisayan. Maybe more, but I have no idea.

Happy valentine's Day everyone.
