Could you hear Coyotes there too? I bet you hear Coyotes everywhere you go. Peek-a-boo...I see you. I wonder why the OP never posts on this thread anymore. or Maybe she still does.

Been to Inopacan twice and both times never wanted to leave. :) I love the importance of family there and I discovered I was not so bad at Videoke... lol. We had the best times going in town to the market riding around on her motor just hanging out with the family or going out to Canigao island or Baybay and walking around. When my fiancee goes to baybay now the potpot drivers ask her where her wrestler boyfriend is. The security guards always ask when I am coming back and that we are a sweet couple. :)

This thread started by Senorita Tessa is a

welcome break for those of us still struggling through the visa process.

I was born and raised in Mandaluyong City. Quoting from Philippine Travel.Ws, Mandaluyong City gained the moniker Millennium City, having come a long way from being a forested rolling hill to a bustling city of vibrant economic activities. It was a great leap forward. The city is considered as Tiger City of the Philippines, Metro Manilas Heart, and the Shopping Mall Capital of the Philippines. The city has a total land area of 1,124.97 hectares, which is 1.77% of the total land area of Metro Manila. The four largest residential lots occupying the citys total land area are Wack-Wack, Addition Hills, Plainview and Highway Hills.

My fiancee was born in Davao, the land of Durian and Mangosteen (salivating right now). He also lived in Butuan and Cagayan de Oro. Good thing he went to Manila for his Secondary schooling in 1978 because that was where we first met (1978). We were neighbors for years and established a very good friendship. But as we reached college, we lost touch bec he had to go back to Cagayan de Oro to finish his schooling there. My fiancee migrated to the US in 1987. 22 years later, we reconnect through a social media. Fr then on, he has been coming fr California to Mla to see me and I, him, for over 4 yrs now.

My interview was 6/3 but got a 221g. Not really bad though as I have already attended to the requirement.

Mabuhay tayong lahat! Although nakakamatay maghintay to be with someone you love.
