Irene, have you been to Daly City, California. It is the Filipino Capital of Calif. They also have Jolibees, there is more opening in Bay Area. When your in Daly City, it may feel a little closer to home, plus it's a good reason to visit San Francisco.

I am the USC, what I liked about PI was the cheap prices for everything and no one begging for money.

What I don't miss is the hot weather, the feeling like I can't breathe and the cold showers.

I also miss my baby.

No never been there but maybe in the future we will visit .

What am going to miss abt being in Angeles was renting that 3 dollars a day Motor Bike. Man how I loved riding that Motor really. I would go anywhere anytime and skip that that traffic with my wife holding on to me on the back...

My wife will miss the traffic.....lol. I make her drive while we are in Manila. I'll be doing the driving here for a while though while she gets used to our interstate highways with their higher speeds and not pulling out in traffic when other vehicles are close because it's moving much faster.

Are you talking about the Red Yamaha Nuovo on your Friendster?

If you are.. What a coincidence.. I owned one.. Just bought it last year before leaving Philippines..

Yeap that's the one. They are so very cool to drive around town leaving all that mess of traffic in Angeles City behind. Takes me back really.. hehehe

Im not from the pi, Im from Guam which is pretty similar in culture, but Ive been in the pi for awhile and miss so many things:

Miss

1. my wife and in-laws, cool friends Ive met over there.

2. kare kare, batchoy, Dinuguan, lechon kawali (my favorite), crispy pata, sisig, goldilocks lumpia..the list goes on..haha..

3. riding the jeepney's, and cab's

4. waking up in the morning and hearing side cart motorbikes and loud jeepneys driving by our place...

5. definitely all the sm malls and having dinner at baywalk and fun nights at greenhbelt and cowboy grill..hehe..

6. shopping at greenhills and bacalaran

7. P650 "brand name" shoes..haha..

8. seeing people enjoy and appreciate the most simple things in life and dont complain and just work around it, not too many people like that here in the u.s. Its taught me a lot and was a good experience.

9. all the street food...

love about the u.s.

1. the weather and the clean air (san francisco)

2. no traffic

3. sight seeing

4. job opportunities
