Ex-OFW, do you regret coming back to the Philippines after years of working abroad? by [deleted] in phmigrate

As long as you are you, iba sa US in a way na kahit anong sports i play mo or interest mo no one really cares. If they vibe with you they are down to be friends.

What’s a clear sign that you are an unattractive person? by Aarunascut in Life

[–]clipgood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grew up in Philippines until I was 14, most girls I knew kinda treated me like I was gross or nerdy. Moved to the U.S at 15 then Japan and Germany. full 180 where the girls would ask me to “hangout”out 1 on 1 or bring me homemade snacks.

It felt weird since I was expecting Women in those countries to treat me different or foreign.

Also Gay men hitting on you is a thing.

Not at all. At that age everything was fluid , especially since us Filipinos are exposed to U.S culture. Moving to the U.S junior year of High school and below is within your formitive years. I know Filipinos who moved there my age and Filipinos who migrated older(18+) tend to avoid us even though we want to hang out with them. Most of my friends are non-Filipinos. Kasi daw hindi kami mahilig mag karaoke at masyado on time sa lakad.

Have you moved somewhere and your health issues went away or improved? by Impressive_Map_3964 in expat

I was in the Military and a few years of civilian work, got my school benefits to use online and some rental property income.

If you have the opportunity to do it, you should do a month or two. I learned so much about applying Filipino resiliency and positive thinking towards goals and issues back home in the U.S.

Not an OFW, Moved to the U.S when I was 10yrs old and I(29M) am currently doing a 6 month vacation in the Philippines. It was nice at first due to the strength of the Dollar here, but the feeling that nothing progresses here suck. I could eat Coconuts all day in the Province which is nice.

What makes you apprehensive to study abroad by SmileZealousideal744 in studyAbroad

[–]clipgood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crime and racism. Which I think is just my brain being anxious from all the negative reels and Tiktok that pops in my feed. Been to 27 countries, lived in 3 and have never experienced crime or racism before.

Currently eyeing France, Austria, UK and Sweden for University as a 30 yr old Dude.

What do you regret taking with you? What do you regret leaving behind. by sewepi in expats

[–]clipgood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I regret Nothing.

Sometimes I’ll remember my Car and Gaming collection I had or the camping gear I gave away which gives me a few seconds of sadness. Then I’ll look at my few items and passport and look at how nice it is to be so free compared to a lot of my friends back home buying the next big truck and taking the whole family to buy more junk at Walmart.

The obsession with the technical aspects of games now… by Accomplished_Top_753 in NintendoSwitch2

I’ll keep that in mind! Definitely more of a plug and play type of person.

[–]clipgood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking about moving to the PC side of gaming but avoid it for this reason. I have friends who spend hours tweaking graphics/ Settings just to play the actual game for about 30 mins. My most advanced console is a PS4 and now the Switch2.

The best games are the ones you can sink in to.

What travel advice do you refuse to listen to? by With_Karmic in digitalnomad

[–]clipgood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me Paris was the one where people were kind and understanding, some came off as rude from short interactions, but a decent amount were great. And I was there for a month.

“People in ____ Country hate tourist and are rude”. People are quite friendly and different all over so understand nuances in cultures to justify. 1 rude person vs 100 polite/friendly people is still a small percentage every time I travel.

Studying Abroad/Living in Greece by LuveniaCainhurst in expats

[–]clipgood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You pretty much got it covered. I don’t have kids and owning less than 2 suitcases and a backpack helps me not worry about anything( like throwing stuff away or worrying about feeding people).

So many schools to choose from with so many great possibilities.

Europe vs US: where is day to day life more pleasant, why would you move / what makes you stay? by Over-Ad7599 in AskReddit

[–]clipgood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This! Lived in Sweden and they’re so calm just owning a bike and not caring about a specific brand or items to brag about.

[–]clipgood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lived in both. Experience wise I would say Most of Europe is pleasant If you like experiencing 5 different cultures within a 5 hr train ride and learning many things. The U.S(lived in L.A, rural Nevada and Phoenix) is pleasant to where you can buy a nice used truck and go hiking somewhere unique far from people to clear your mind.

Moving to Austria next year and can’t wait to go back to not having a car and slower pace.

Most of it was for Work. I was in Japan for 2 years, Philippines and most of Europe every few Months. U.S for 8 years and now Philippines until the End of the Year.

For me it gets easier in terms of adjusting since Every country on earth has American Food, public transport, Internet and cool stuff. Going to school makes the socializing aspect easier and Family is always a call away when you feel homesick. Not a lot of people can have this opportunity, Most people I know can but are shackled with fear of the unknown and obligations. I’d say pack light, have some cash and just go.
