Hi Romsky and welcome! If we were talking face to face you would have to keep going "what?" "Huh"---I talk fast! Growing up with 4 brothers and 1 sister I had to if I wanted to get my 2 cents worth in! LOL! ------------- There is more to life than hair...Come on---Go get a life!!!!!!! |

Anyway, yeah I think it's one way of gaining some confidence to speak english. by the way, if you think that there's something wrong with my grammar, can you correct it for me please? It would be highly appreciated. 
You know, I don't have enough courage or should I say confidence to speak in english that is why I can't practice it. well, hopefully i'll be able to improve my english. keep in touch. thank you. Posted By: Susan W

Thanks for the compliment on my hair, yes, I'm trying to grow it long
(that was from a pm). I will tell you that I currently live east
of the Mississippi river. I do not have any kids. How about
you? I LOVE to talk culture! You must also share with us your culture from the Philippines. Have you ever met any americans in person? Its hard for me to say what we look like to other cultures, but I've asked a few non-americans this question. Some describe us as noisy, we laugh a lot loudly, and we can be aggressive. (That's not everyone of course, I'm pretty quiet and gentle as many of us also are - quiet, gentle people.) I said that because when I've asked europeans or russians their impression of us, overall they say we appear loud and like we laugh a lot...but some feel that makes us look fun. My fiance (who is French) finds us kind of aggressive (physically) compared to French people, but not necessarily in a bad way. If anyone disagrees or has anything to share, please comment! ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

Don't have kids too. I love to talk culture too. Never met any americans... and, I used to chat with americans but not meeting them personally. I agree with you Susan you're kinda aggressive (but as you've said, not everyone) -- that's your culture I guess. Sometimes also you tend to be more liberated. (sorry, it is my opinion) here in our country, well we're kinda conservative. We don't want being watch in the public, you know kissin and stuff. For us it's a big deal which I believe need to be changed! Hey, we're not in the stone age afterall. anyway, what i like 'bout you guys is that you are really friendly people, you trust people easily (is that correct?). Wait, is all my grammar correct? till then. |

I would say most people try to be friendly, there are a few who do not
care if they are friendly or not. Many people do try to give the
appearance of trusting people easily, and many actually do trust people
easily. For some, they want to appear to trust people easily so that
they do not make others think they are unfriendly or rude, but many are very careful about
who they really trust, and it takes awhile to earn trust from
strangers. If you come from a place where crime is worse, you tend to
be more careful. Are people not as trusting of strangers in the Philippines? So you aren't allowed to kiss in public, how about holding hands? What are your culture's reasons for being conservative? Religious reasons? Personally I don't think kissing in public is all that great, its not something interesting to look at, but it doesn't bother me to see it either. I guess it would seem more important if it were forbidden. I have never been to Asia. I know a few people from China and a few from South Korea, but you are the first person from the Philippines I have "met". ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

I agree with you. people try to give that appearance. about holding hands, it's so much allowed. we don't think that there's something wrong with that of course. philippines is, i would say religious country that is why we're kinda conservative. that contributes a lot. |
