Filipino Culture Thread

[citricacidcycle]

From my observation, there is a small few NT'ers besides yourself that is still grounded in the Philippines. They just haven't found and/or haven't posted in this thread yet to make themselves known (for instance, citricacidcycle )

Found and subbed. Currently representing NCR 2nd District.
Thanks @bigjny88

Moved out when i was 19, moved back in at 24 "temporarily"....Now I'm 26 I wanna move out but my mom is telling me I'm abandoning her???? Bruh I swear if you single, Filipino parents want you to stay with them forever. Can't be doing that in the US doe.

 

[gokickrocks]

Wow. I’m jealous. None of you tried to shoot your shot with her?

We all definitely tried, but she wasn't having any of it. The girls she was with were . They definitely made the visit memorable.

These older Filipino folks keep talking about me in Tagalog everytime I walk by their cubicle asking "Is he Filipino?"

That's the Filipino culture. Parents seem to be willing to having their kids live with them forever. My brother-in-law is in his mid/late 30s, live at home, has two kids, and doesn't pay a dime. His parents baby him so much. They do the same with my wife, but I tell her, I grew up in a family where I didn't expect my parents to come through every single time and I was taught to work to get what I wanted.

That thought boggles my wife at times.

I moved out, back in, moved out, back in, and out. I don't think I can move back to my parents house anymore. I'm past that.

They didn't just ask you outright? That's surprising.

I bet you can say 'balut' perfectly though.

That's me too.

But on that note, I want my kids living in my house until they got married. Hell, if I got along with their SO, they could raise my grandkids in my crib too

I do still own a 2-bedroom Condo on the side just in case it doesn't pan out though

Sometimes they have markups on items. It’s not always cheaper to buy items overseas.

Better off buying from FB groups. I wouldn't buy yeezys from there unless it's from legit consignment store which they double the price for everything
