Help! :blink:

I'm trying to help my new husband the best that I can. Of course we are like the rest of you playing the waiting game until the AOS & EAD are approved.

But in the mean time he is having a difficult time adjusting. Does anyone know of Filipino-American Networks in either LA or Orange counties? And/or Filipino-American churches?

Would appreciate any help & advice that you have.

Salamat Po,

Tita Key

I can wholly recommend Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California with Pastor John MacArthur as Pastor. It has an active Filipino bible study and is an all-around excellent church.

Almost 46% (if am not mistaken) of Phil and Phil-Am population is in CA. There's a lot of christian churches scattered over the town..

Compare to the ladies, guys are havin MORE hard time to adjust coz they are not that out goin like girls. I would suggest you to encourage and accompany him to go out while he has no pinoy friends yet..

God bless.

You were never a mistake. You were my realization.

My wife met some nice people over in Tustin so I will see if I can get the name of the church they go to. There are also some good places up in Chino, Claudeth went crazy at a food place, I think she bought just about everything on the menu :P

WOW - quite a list - eh?

I really pray that he will feel more comfortable soon. I'm trying to do everything possible for him; just like he would do for me if we (& probably when) we live in the Philippines.

Thanks again, :)

i'm sorry to hear about your husband having a hard time with the down time. i think it's a normal reaction. my husband was feeling like that at first but then i told him to just enjoy your down time...because it's rare...hehehe. and he did...although he said...another month of not doing anything would probably be too much.

my husband went with my friend who does volunteer work for Habitat for Humanity but he didn't get to actually work on building a house since he got his EAD sooner than expected. it's ok if he's not involve with filipino-oriented groups either. if he's comfortable with his English...he should be fine in groups such as Habitat.

Fate is building a bridge of chance for the one you love...

I almost forgot but when I took Claudeth to L.A. to get her passport renewed we found a Jollibee there on Beverly Blvd. It was like being back in the Philippines and the workers were from the Philippines on work visas to make it all more original. My baby just loves the Jollibee. I didn't think the chicken was the same but the hamburgers were just like they were in CDO and Iligan.

Here is the link for finding Jollibees in the U.S., there are 11 listed in California:

Here is the address for the one on Beverly:

Help! :blink:

I'm trying to help my new husband the best that I can. Of course we are like the rest of you playing the waiting game until the AOS & EAD are approved.

But in the mean time he is having a difficult time adjusting. Does anyone know of Filipino-American Networks in either LA or Orange counties? And/or Filipino-American churches?

Would appreciate any help & advice that you have.

Salamat Po,

Tita Key

titakey , CERRITOS! i think thats the closest pinoy are in OC. maybe im wrong but they have everything there. Chowking, pinoypinay restaurant, dj bibingkahan, goldilocks, red ribbon. there is also this karaoke place where they have comedians hosting and nang-ookray (making fun) of themselves and the performers. i cant remember the name of the club but it's hella funny. they also serve pinoy food there. Let me know if youre interested in going to that place. ill try to ask my friend where exactly it is. give you the address and stuff.

they are all on south street...

also if it means anything, we go to church here in irvine, along alton and culver. Its called st John Neuman (i hope i spelled it right) anyways, just to let you know, there isnt any mass said in filipino but there are alot of filipinos who go there for mass. especially at the 12PM mass...

my housband boy-toy felt that way too but he had too many hobbies to keep him busy. and i would make it a point to come home for lunch to keep him company.... and i kept reminding him to just try to appreciate downtime because when he starts to work full time, he's going to be wanting downtime... three months into his job, he already wants to go on a vacation... hahahahha

another tip: there's always TFC and GMA 7. i think comcast, dish network and cox have filipino channels they can offer you... depends where you live. if not, you can always go search for abs-cbn now and i think you can subscribe this for the PC so you can watch home grown tv shows. Another discovery of ours is this rental site for tagalog movies... let me know if youre interested. just PM me. :D

hope this helped
