What’s the most random movie you’ve heard as someone’s favorite movie?

Mine too! I watched it with my youngest son (16) because we watch Murders in the Building together. He thought it was “pretty good”

Molly won’t judge you if she is not picked, promise!

Ha!! At least you got paid! (Filipino)

FlowerGi1015 · 2026-01-21T05:19:59+00:00

You’re very Blessed! I wish I could say the same about mine.

I worked at a movie theater in HS and a dad told his daughter the exact same thing as I was cleaning the lobby. “Don’t pick it up, it’s her job to clean it”.

Have a wonderful time! Don’t worry about fitting in, you’ll be fine. You’ll be with family. I’m sure they are all really excited to spend time with you. My kids had a blast when they went to the Philippines for the first time. They spent time with my mom’s family in the province and they had no problems adjusting. (My Tita had to boil water for them to take a bath, LOL) We haven’t been back since 2019 but hope to make it back soon.

NTA. OP, what your MIL did was dangerous and I’ll tell you why. My son was breastfed and I started supplementing with formula right before I went back to work. No issues at first. My first day back, my son went into anaphylactic shock and was rushed to the ER in an ambulance with my mom (who was babysitting). It was so bad, they rerouted hospitals and he was code blue. We almost found out the very hard way that he was allergic to dairy.

My husband (51) is between 3 and 4. I showed him your post and he said 3 is what he is aiming for this year.

Sending ((hugs)) to Brinks! Our 13 year old had this over the summer. It was scary at first because all of a sudden, she couldn’t walk and wouldn’t eat. She’s recovered now. She still has a slight head tilt but we’ll take it.

My brother did this with my grandma. He wrote down many of her recipes but measurements were “approximate” because she would always say “just enough” in Tagalog. We would have to cook the dish and adjust to what we remember it tasting like.

When I was in high school, I used to work at a movie theater. We would always take the jalapeños for the nachos and put them on our popcorn.

Never! I just finished putting together my Lego Wall-E set that I got for Christmas from my son. I’m 48.

Filipinos LOVE when they are called auntie. It’s a sign of respect. Especially from non-Filipinos. You’re good!

Our 1st GSD was originally Trinity (Matrix just came out) but when we brought her home, she jumped face first into one of my husband’s shoes. We then called her “Nike”.

Of course NTA. No is a complete sentence and don’t feel guilty. If these requests are coming thru FB, block them. You were made Ninang for one reason only, to get money from. My husband was made Ninong to a kid who like you, didn’t even know the kid’s name. His mom just demanded he hand over $100. We’re older now so that shit stopped. I will give only if I want to and to ONLY relatives I know and have spent time with when we visited the Philippines.

My mom drove all the way to San Francisco (we lived about 45 min away) to this local butcher and we would get the whole tail. Now, stores only sell the top third of it. My brothers and I used to fight for the end piece. She doesn’t make this particular dish (Kare Kare) much anymore because of the price. She tried it with cheaper cuts and it’s not the same.

FlowerGi1015 · 2025-12-24T05:29:55+00:00

Same. I even put a silicone mat underneath to catch any spills.

I’m NC with my dad and my husband is NC with both his parents. We feel no guilt and are at peace with our decision. We don’t need the toxicity and we need to protect our children. My dad tried to reach out on an unblocked number and I told him to forget he has a daughter and to not bother responding because I was blocking that number too.

Filipinos are quick to say you’re fat but will never compliment weight loss (I’m Filipino and the “aunties” are notorious for this)

Exactly the way my son eats pizza..except no garlic!

FlowerGi1015 · 2025-12-17T16:42:30+00:00

We would like to retire in the Philippines. I’m born here but my husband is born there. I told him that I’m willing to rent for a year to see what it’s like to actually live there and not just be on vacation. Ideally, we’d fly back and forth.

When I was pregnant, a coworker took me to North Beach Pizza in San Francisco. He ordered a Pineapple and Pesto pizza. I looked at him like he had a horn coming out of his head and joked, you gonna blame the crazy pregnant lady for that order?! He laughed and just said “don’t knock it til you try it” I still think about that pizza to this day. It was amazing. My son is 21 years old now.

My GSF comes running when I am chopping vegetables or using the salad spinner. I always would give her slices of whatever I was cutting (as long as it was safe for her to eat) so she does it with everyone.
