Hello fellow VJrs, I just got here last June 23, 2008 under K3, I can say that I'm really happy now that I'm reunited with my husband, but sometimes I can't control feeling kinda lonely, from being away from my parents and nephews in the Phils. I know I shouldn't be feeling like this, my husband is always cheering me up but sometimes I wish I knew somebody here in this new place wherein I can talk too, I also plan to work here when my ead is approved but I don't know when, where and how to apply here, I am worrying how I will adapt here because up to know I haven't spoken to any filipinos here, I know there's a lot of filipinos here but I am hesitating to approach them and be friends with them, they're all speaking english here so I'm afraid that since my english is not that good, they might reject me the first time I talk to them, I don't know if I can easily find a job here, I'm an accounting graduate and I used to work in a bank for almost 12 years in the Phils, I'm even worrying if I can find a job that's close to my course or job before, up to know I don't know how things are working here in this new place I'm living here. I hope somebody can help me out or talk to me about how things are working here. Thanks and God bless to all of us.

Hi NOVA! Finally I am able to see one Filipina that I can possibly talk to in HAWAII too! And Guess what? I am heading to MAUI, HAWAII soon too! YEAH! you read it RIGHT! ---> MAUI, HAWAII din ako! Medyo mabagal lang kasi ang Document Verifiction ko until now wala pang result. Hopefully sa end of July makuha ko na din visa ko. Don't worry may kasama ka na ngayon na makakausap mo ----> AKO! hehehehe :thumbs:

Hi Nova 71!!

I immigrated to Maui about 8 years ago and lived there for the first 3 years. I am currently living in Honolulu but I regularly fly to Maui maybe once or twice a month with my family. I do have a lot of friends in Maui that you could probably hook up with.

Maui is a small island... virtually everybody knows each other... esp if you're filipino... you pretty much hang out with the same bunch of people .... i used to live in Kahului.. behind War Memorial Stadium...

My girls from Maui are not in any relationships so they do party a lot.. are you 21 years old yet??

Pasensya na kung mejo weird ang pagtatanong ko.. and i know i'm new here at VJ.. but I have been reading and learning from members posting messages here and i believe it is time to pay back.. let me know if you wanted to meet up with some of my friends... they are all from Manila and they are very cool.. and we all speak in Tagalog everywhere we go...

If you were an accountant for a long time in PI... I could have you call my friend who works for an accounting agency and they primarily do books for business clients... Hawai'i have three standard banks: Bank of Hawai'i, First Hawaiian Bank, and Central Pacific Bank... starting salary ranges around $8-9 an hour so medyo mababa... you can probably apply as payroll administrator in an upscale hotel in Maui and would be earning twice as much.. depends on what your long-term goal is... kase kung sa hotel ka.. you could end up being a controller and you will be getting paid a lot...

anyway... if you have any more questions let me know... yngat parate!! :innocent:

Hello fellow VJrs, I just got here last June 23, 2008 under K3, I can say that I'm really happy now that I'm reunited with my husband, but sometimes I can't control feeling kinda lonely, from being away from my parents and nephews in the Phils. I know I shouldn't be feeling like this, my husband is always cheering me up but sometimes I wish I knew somebody here in this new place wherein I can talk too, I also plan to work here when my ead is approved but I don't know when, where and how to apply here, I am worrying how I will adapt here because up to know I haven't spoken to any filipinos here, I know there's a lot of filipinos here but I am hesitating to approach them and be friends with them, they're all speaking english here so I'm afraid that since my english is not that good, they might reject me the first time I talk to them, I don't know if I can easily find a job here, I'm an accounting graduate and I used to work in a bank for almost 12 years in the Phils, I'm even worrying if I can find a job that's close to my course or job before, up to know I don't know how things are working here in this new place I'm living here. I hope somebody can help me out or talk to me about how things are working here. Thanks and God bless to all of us.

Pricilla

Hi Nova 71!!

I immigrated to Maui about 8 years ago and lived there for the first 3 years. I am currently living in Honolulu but I regularly fly to Maui maybe once or twice a month with my family. I do have a lot of friends in Maui that you could probably hook up with.

Maui is a small island... virtually everybody knows each other... esp if you're filipino... you pretty much hang out with the same bunch of people .... i used to live in Kahului.. behind War Memorial Stadium...

My girls from Maui are not in any relationships so they do party a lot.. are you 21 years old yet??

Pasensya na kung mejo weird ang pagtatanong ko.. and i know i'm new here at VJ.. but I have been reading and learning from members posting messages here and i believe it is time to pay back.. let me know if you wanted to meet up with some of my friends... they are all from Manila and they are very cool.. and we all speak in Tagalog everywhere we go...

If you were an accountant for a long time in PI... I could have you call my friend who works for an accounting agency and they primarily do books for business clients... Hawai'i have three standard banks: Bank of Hawai'i, First Hawaiian Bank, and Central Pacific Bank... starting salary ranges around $8-9 an hour so medyo mababa... you can probably apply as payroll administrator in an upscale hotel in Maui and would be earning twice as much.. depends on what your long-term goal is... kase kung sa hotel ka.. you could end up being a controller and you will be getting paid a lot...

anyway... if you have any more questions let me know... yngat parate!! :innocent:

hi stmclemore, thanks so much for the great advice ha and for taking time to reply to me, I'm at ease now, you're really a great help, I am discussing now what you have suggested to me with my husband, that it's better to work in a hotel than in banks here, I am living in kahului maui too in one of the condominiums here, what a coincidence! We'll I'm already 36 years old kinda old na, I hope my age won't be a big deal here if apply for a job, thanks so much ha, bye the way if you don't mind can I ask for your email address para pag may other questions pa ako ma address ko to you, but if you don't like ok lang, thanks talaga for replying and for giving me great advice, what's your first name nga pala, God bless you and your family.

Pricilla
