I met my Filipina friend but it was never a dating situation. She came here on her own passport and her own money. She even brought her sister for a month long tour of the USA.
I took them to a botanical garden, a dirt track race, and for dinner with my grandmother.
She sounds like she is into business. I woke up one morning at about 3:00 AM, and found my wife wide awake. I said you should be snoring away peacefully. She said she couldn't sleep, because she was thinking of different business ventures, to make money. I thought, now this is a real business woman. In the Philippines, however, one must pretty much be a wheeler dealer, or one finds it difficult to survive.
