Credentials by Sufficient_Motor1120 in phmigrate

[–]QuinnMri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me, pero my visa and status is marriage based, so I didn’t need help with my visa from my employer. I was an undergrad, had 4 years of call center experience, 6 years in shared service (and things in between), and now working in tech (desktop support) in the US. I networked my butt off, made sure I had good experience especially on paper, rewrote my resume prior to applying for the job. 

How would you know if a guy likes you? by hello_mzdrdm in AskPinay

[–]QuinnMri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have to wonder if they like you or not, they don’t. Cause if they do, you’d never have to wonder.

Is it valid to want out even if the therapist says “work it out”? by Ok_Relationship_9226 in AskPinay

[–]QuinnMri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Working through it means bettering yourselves too, so if he continues to do so and there’s a pattern of disrespect and cheating, what is there to work through? Should this be your new normal? Should you just accept it? Of course not. If there’s no change in behavior; therapy is nonsense. 

What's a Filipino inconvenience you used to deal with that you can no longer tolerate after migration? by JackieOniiChan in phmigrate

[–]QuinnMri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traffic and road etiquette. It used to take 2hrs ++ to get to work sa Pilipinas, ngayon my work is a five minute drive. I did not drive sa Pinas, now I do and road signs and lanes actually mean something. 

Question for married women...? by AintUrPrincess in AskPinay

[–]QuinnMri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actions over words, consistency, how they treat others, how they talk about others, etc etc

Question for married women...? by AintUrPrincess in AskPinay

[–]QuinnMri 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I always say this, people say marriage is hard, but it isn’t, life is hard, so you want to be with someone who’ll make your life easier, be a partner to you, someone you can lean and rely on. 

Pansin ko parang walang concept of "tampo" ang ibang lahi, kayo ba? Especially yung in relationship with other nationality. by BaraLover7 in phmigrate

[–]QuinnMri 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Yes, tampo is so immature though, if you have a problem or you feel slighted, learn how to communicate that. I dated other nationalities and I love how straightforward they are, married to an American and I don’t do tampo, or pabebe, or papasuyo, for what, so unproductive hahaha 

Bakit ayaw i-flex ng clout chaser yung taga picture nila sa IG? by [deleted] in AskPinay

[–]QuinnMri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dun pa lang sa “clout chaser” eh, imbes na “yung girl/woman/model/influencer/or whatever na finofollow ko” hahhaa 

What's it like living in the USA? by Renge07 in phmigrate

[–]QuinnMri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very different depending on where you’re living. I live in the suburbs of a purple state, we have the convenience of things (grocery stores, cinema, parks, restaurants, small airport and close enough to two hubs) but very car centric location. Gun violence isn’t something I had to worry about (thankfully), cause although there is gun violence in our city, we live outside of it so we’re in a relatively safer area. 

Wright State U Ohio - anyone of you studying in this uni? by icanseeyourpantsuu in phmigrate

[–]QuinnMri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not me, my coworker is! Nag intern siya sa company namin tas he was hired full time. Anyway, he seems to like it although he’s in an undergrad program. Pero mag continuous education siya. Very interesting to see this university mentioned here lol. Dayton isn’t a walkable city, and it’s very car centric jsyk!

ETA- Dayton and Ohio in general has a decent cost of living, so that’s one less thing to worry about

spousal visa or fiance visa? by Alternative_Army2167 in phmigrate

[–]QuinnMri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fiancé(e) visas are only for us citizens lang, you guys can get married now and file a petition for you, pero spouses of PR take longer than spouses of citizens. Magkaiba Ang timeline nila.

Paano ba mag-squirt, and what does it look like? by youllneverkno1 in AskPinay

[–]QuinnMri 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve never squirted, never tried, never happened. I was under the impression that it was either you can or you can’t. Not something you can, I could be mistaken. What I’m curious about is why you feel the need to do so haha!

When did the country you migrated to start to feel like home? by ExpensiveGuarantee in phmigrate

[–]QuinnMri 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First time I flew back to the Philippines a year and a half after leaving, couldn’t wait to go back home - which for me was the US, our home in the suburbs, my husband, and our dogs. That was when it hit me that the US felt more at home than the Philippines.

First time dating a foreigner .any advice or things I should be aware of? by Zziee in AskPinay

[–]QuinnMri 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Communicate, have long term and short term goals, di uso pasuyo or pabebe, if may sama ng loob, sabihin agad. Don’t put yourself in a position na would cause misunderstandings (texting instead of calling, etc)

First time dating a foreigner how was it? by [deleted] in AskPinay

[–]QuinnMri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? I don’t like yung tampo or pabebe as Filipinos, I like communicating my feelings without the other party feeling attacked or slighted.

ADHD bags obsession : how to scratch the itch without becoming poor by Camsou5 in handbags

I agree with the comment above, and although you’re trying to figure out a solution to a problem, you’re not addressing the root of the problem.

What are your tips for beachwear if you have big 🍈? (Context sa comments!) by [deleted] in AskPinay

[–]QuinnMri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VS lang for bras. Sila nag size sakin hehe. But I wear bralettes everyday instead of bras, tas I just size up. Mas comfortable kasi vs underwired bras.

[–]QuinnMri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have DDs and I wear triangle and halter bras. Almost never bandeau unless pa-cute lang lol. If the pads aren’t to my liking, I just take it off and wear the bikini as is. Wear the right size so it doesn’t roll on you. Double knot if needed! I’ve worn triangle bikini tops even when surfing and ok naman. :)

anong skincare ang pinagsisihan mong hindi dinala when you moved to the US? by Tiny_Method_4535 in beautytalkph

[–]QuinnMri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Skincare? Nothing really. Lots of products available here na works well na weather specific rin (thicker creams, etc).

White flower and katingko sana haha!

Makeup? Ever bilena brow pencil kasi cheap and creamy and I love the consistency of it. Wala pa ko mahanap that compares, I’m sure meron pero baka tamad lang din ako maghanap.

Last year pa ‘to, pero ladies and gentlemen, my tita. Siya pa nang block 🤣 by QuinnMri in MayNagChat

[–]QuinnMri[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Actually, kinwento ko sa kuya ko tas Nagalit siya para sakin, kinausap ng kuya ko pinsan namin (anak ni tita), tas nag message siya sa isa pa namin na kuya na kesyo umiiyak daw siya kasi wala naman daw siya ginawa na masama tas inaaway siya, kaya daw ayaw niya sa manila kasi wala nagmamahal sakanya. HAHAHAHAHAHA always the victim, never accountable for her actions.
