I am sorry I have to air this out, better to say my piece than make myself go nuts with anger.

So I received a message from the admin of the PRETTY LADIES group. Apparently I said something foul to one of the members and that they have blocked me from the group for doing so. (accdg to their guidelines per se) So I replied and copy pasted the wall posts of that said member. I showed the admin how vulgar and tactless this member's words are. Not everyone wants to know her sexual escapades because some people have morals and values that she clearly is lacking. All I did is rephrase her words and make her realize how foul her mouth is. She prides herself from being an English teacher and a professional but her words and actions make her seem no less than a bar girl. Countless times I have seen her pipe in in conversations and brag about her man's goodies.

Not only does she have a dirty mind, but she clearly is lacking from common sense. She saw this post in VJ and could not believe that people will speak out about what is really happening. She just thinks someone is out to ruin the group. So she called the people who reprimanded her for being moralists and being self-righteous.

And guess what the admin did? She blocked me from the group. Why? 'Cause that girl said I was being foul. What is funny is all the words I used, that she thinks is foul, came from the girl herself. It is ridiculous! She got mad because the truth hurts. No matter what explanation I give and evidence to show that all I did is say "no one wants to know that your man is blah blah blah.." I got the boot. Well, it is clear; it's either they don't have any common sense or no good grasp of the English language. They only see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear. They twist your words so it ends up wrong and take it way out of context. I showed her the evidences but it fell on deaf ears and blind eyes.

I don't care that I am no longer in that group. I was gonna leave anyway. I don't care for all their drama. I just find it REALLY funny that I was there right from the start and this is what I get. We were even the ones who suggested creating a group! All that from a status message here in VJ when someone was out looking for friends. We made it grow, made it fun, made it helpful. It wasn't a one person team. It was a GROUP effort. The creator of the group wasn't even there most of the time. Now that it has grown so large, the idea of additional moderators doesn't seem to be grasped by the group owner. People who dare speak out get booted. Kiss their bum and you are saved. So let the walls be filled with filthy mouths and flaming posts and trolls since simpletons thrive in that environment.

And what conviction do the "moral and self-righteous people" get? Guilty. Judged without trial and removed from the group that they themselves created. It doesn't matter that you were once friends and that you once helped her.

Oh well, just another day.

Good bye Pretty Ladies. Good bye to all the negativity and drama. I choose to be happy :)

Aw! Being one of PL's pioneer member, too sad to see that the group whom i used to love seem to be going down the hill. Its unfortunate that Admins made this autonomic decision out of passion just to set an example rather than giving you your due credit for actually trying to be a moderator yourself even if it was by sarcastically repeating her banter in an effort of making her see herself how trashy the words thats coming out of her mouth. Its truly a shame coz she brags all over the entire forum that she is a teacher but unfortunately her behavior doesn't justify otherwise.The true violator of the spirit of the forum was her yet she still stands proud so I dont see this action as being fair and just. Furthermore its a shame that new members can freely bash with other members yet US the original members who originally put up the group all together, stand & guided each other thru out the process are always the one being misunderstood and being watched :(

hi guys! if bickering, vulgarity, drama, and other nonsense topics are not your cup of tea, there is another group where all that are pretty much frowned upon. These are mostly girls originally from PL who wants to have a group just like when PL started. Here you'll find help 24/7 without drama or negativity. It's called Happy Ladies and here's the link:

if i were on your shoes, id feel the same. what saddens me more is that, all these arguments and blah opinions have been recurring. this isnt just about that one person who claims herself a teacher but also about her backups too. i may not have a degree but you dont have to be a professional (teacher?) to know what is moral and what is right. instead of taking what happened a lesson, it was taken seriously in a bad way by some of the pl's members. it might be too early to assume but i think theres really something wrong with how the group/forum is being handled. ooops, how can i forget that its been repeatedly stated in words and in actions that its a group, not a forum, and that every member owns it. ok... say, its not a forum but its still a medium for open discussion. same thing. it needs a moderator. a mediator perhaps who can balance. who can stand firm but is just. and who wouldnt make decisions out of passion just to set an example (credits to ERY for pointing that out ;) ) i just wish that whoever started this group would take even a few minutes to reflect that PL wouldnt be where it is now (quantity speaking, members are there to exchange helps. i cant talk about quality for now, sorry) without the pioneers' support. and i can say that freely without bias coz im not a pioneer. :) oh well, as they say, right attitude is everything. good looks dont matter if u cant get along well with others. so yeh, be happy :D

What's rather funny is they got fuming mad I posted this here. I had no other choice, they won't discuss this like adults. They ignore my questions and act as if nothing happened. What do they do? Post jokes on the wall. Hehe. Now I no longer wonder why the quality of education in the Phils is going down the drains.. We have these people as role models :D

It's unfortunate, but fully understandable to the average American citizen after hearing about some of the things discussed and allowed on some of these groups, why during the CFO they have to instruct those coming to America on how to be respectable and how to represent the Philippines with pride, dignity, and some morals for God's sake.

But hold on, I'm certainly not grouping the whole bunch together. I know scores, maybe even hundreds, of ladies from the Philippines that are very respectable and dignified. But as the old saying goes, "One bad apple can spoil the whole bunch". Even though we have to be careful not to allow ourselves to be this judgmental and do this type of stereotyping.

And no wonder, when ladies want to post on a forum such as PL and some of the others that have spun off, talking about their hubby's dong, whether they spit or swallow, what positions they like...and on, and on, and on! I'm not saying you can't have some fun teasing each other about this and that...but to get so graphic and descriptive in a forum that is supposed to be for immigration help...GOD!

Notice I said for "Immigration Help" which was the original intent of PL. If you want to get graphic about your sex life, then start a group for that purpose. Don't start, and allow it, in a group with over 500 members, when most of those that joined did so for the purpose of seeking help, or wanting to help others, on immigrating and adjusting to life here in the USA.

agreed! that was why i left!

I received my masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology 04/17/2013

I received my 10-year greencard (ROC) in 3 months with no interview (March-June 2013)

My husband returned from deployment 06/20/2013

My naturalization journey took 4 months (April-August 2014)

I became a US citizen on 08/01/2014

Received passport in 3 weeks (regular processing)

Hahaha...Be careful what you ask for. My fiancee was there for a while...that group has turned from a Visa/Immigration support/help group into a bunch of arguing, backbiting, vulgar, women. Several splinter groups are now started and the PL group is fighting them and making snide remarks about them because they started a new group to get away from the bickering. They also quite often have lots of sex talk and non-immigration topics.

Of course that's OK if that's what the moderators want the group to be....but be careful you don't dis one of the higher ups or you will get plastered..hahaha

Yes - Luzi backed out too... It's been a horrible experience. The southern island girls (bisayas) against the northern island girls (tagalog) ... it seems. There was some bashing going on, that's for sure. What I found out is that it seemed to be the lack of respect and the full understanding of the English language that got a few girls in hot water.

Every time a read a smart post --- It seems to be YOU! LOL - You DO realize that HAPPY LADIES are just PRETTY LADIES that left the group but with the same drama? But now the ones that posted in Bisayas need to post in Tagalog or English only. Again, you girls (my sweetheart and you) made a good move to leave the group. You certainly don't need a Pinay support group if your husbands are your best friend and lover! What kind of support is it if your own country people bash you?

That Happy Ladies site is just as bad ... just the girls that moved from Pretty Ladies but now they have to post in English or Tagalog. The rest is no difference. No Pinay needs a support group if they have a loving and supporting relationship with their husband. There isn't any time for that nonsense. There are a couple groups here but they are mostly Mindanao girls. The rest of the Filipina we know don't bother with that stuff but mainly because in Southern California we are blessed with so many Filipino people and church groups.

Oh this may be a year late to reply but you are WAY WRONG. The only reason that group requires members to speak English or Tagalog is because everyone understands those languages unlike Bisaya which only a few can understand. Do you get it? In order to have unity, we need to have a common language understood by all. Just like with me responding to you in Tagalog, would you like that? No, because you don't know the language.

No Pinay needs a support group? The group is more than just that. I have a happy life and a wonderful husband but there are things I'd rather ask other women for some things, specially those that have gone through the same process and will understand the situation better. I've actually made a lot of real life friends from that group so don't discount it and act like you know what you are talking about when you clearly dont.
