Hi there

I'll be living 1 hour north of San Francisco. We can stay in touch and someday in a near future meet there.

I'm in process to get a fiancee visa. My interview in Brazil will be be in a month or so.

I already lived there in 2008/2009 and sometimes is hard to make new friends so it'd be great if we become friends.

I lived in SF for many years but don't live there anymore. I can tell you there's a big filipino community in the bay area the same as people from most any other nation and you probably won't have a problem finding some filipino foods in some shops. I'm sure you will enjoy the bay area.

There is a big filipino community in San Francisco. You won't have a problem at all.

San Francisco-Bay Area is beautiful. Perfect weather, wonderful scenery, but it's just darn expensive Nevertheless, you will not have trouble finding food you miss, ingredients you need because Asian groceries, Filipino stores and restaurants are plenty.

Take advantage of the diverse mix of people there. There's a Filipino nearly everywhere, but the biggest concentration of Filipinos (or Philippinos as a poster said - - LOL. Sorry, I find this too funny!!!) would be in Daly City. Going to Serramonte Mall is like going to Megamall. I think there are also a lot of Filipinos in Union City (go to Wal Mart and 80% of staff and customers are speaking in Tagalog). Bad as this may sound, but this is an honest to goodness advice -- be careful of people who will ask you about your legal status. Even if you know you are staying 100% legally, I would advice you to just keep your mouth shut about this for many reasons. Some Filipinos have a knack of using this as a conversation starter - - and I and a lot of people find it rather rude because at the end of the day, it's not the business of mere acquaintances.

If you're from Manila (hahahha), I would advice you to keep your penchant for being extra careful and alert. Just like anywhere, there ARE bums and possibly "high" homeless people around SFO (near Old Navy in Market - -you'll see!). However, you find that you can use your mobile phone with minimal risk of being mugged and killed randomly.

Enjoy the Bay Area and the idiosyncrasies that come with it.

Well, it's really up to you. But really, it's no one's business. Madami din kasi chismoso't, chismosa at ingittero. Ang sinasabi ko sa iyo ay sinabi sa akin ng mga kamag-anak at kaibigan ko dito, bago pa man ako mag migrate. Sinabi nila sa akin ito matagal na, nagbabakasyon pa lang ako dito. Alam nila ang kalokohan ng mg Noi-Pi Hindi nila sinabi ito para manira ng kababayan, pero binigay nila ito bilang isang payo. Yung mga nagsabi sa akin nito matagal na dito, kaya tingin ko naman may basehan sila.

Bago ka dito, piliin mo kaibigan mo. Kahit saan naman, eh diba...May mabuti, may masama

"there ARE bums and possibly "high" homeless people around SFO (near Old Navy in Market - -you'll see!)"??? - - madaming taong grasa sa San Franacisco. hahahah

I hope I don't burst your bubble. Hindi mo mababasa at maririnig yan basta basta. I say everything in good faith as my relatives and friends said before me Good luck in your new life. Enjoy and invest in nice sweaters!!!

Hi there,

I live in the SF bay area, east bay. We frequent San Francisco a lot, we go to Japan town mostly. Once you're settled in, maybe we can meet there.

I'm pretty sure you'd love San Francisco. Some open minded celebrities, such as Elton John, Perez Hilton, Rosie O'Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres, call San Francisco, especially the Castro District, their sexual residential preference, after they're tired with West Hollywood, of course. Then, these people, along with their partners, go up to Guerneville to drown their frustrations with flowing zinfandel!

hope we can meet cathy before i leave =]
