Mayap a aldo pu koya. Abasa kula reng messages keni at magbakasakali ku pu na adinan yu ku naman advice.
Makalawut ku pu kasalukuyan at binata ku pa po. Ing kaku pu kasing problema ngeni tungkol kareng irog ku. Anyang atyu ku pa pu ken Pinas I had a live in partner and I admit na I loved her so much. Tapos nung makapagabroad ku things started changing hanggang sa tuluyan ng mawala siya sa akin. For more than a year we lost communication so my mom started worrying about me here and decided to look for a woman for me until she found one. I never met nor know this girl personally. (No need to mention her name but she's really gorgeous.) I saw her thru the Internet and admired her pictures. I called her often and at times came up to the point our feelings were on the same path, meaning we were in love with each other. Honestly, it's hard to explain falling in love with someone you never met in person. 'Ika nga "right love at the wrong time" ang nangyari. She visited my family and my family did the same thing. Bonding of both parties were getting stronger and our relationship was getting more exciting. Being far away from home and being a bachelor, I missed a lot of things back home, such as gimiks, barkadas and everything.Then my feelings started to falter when a friend of mine here, introduced me to her cousin. She lives about two blocks away. This girl is nice and pretty. I started dating this girl the moment I got to know her. I dated her and I told her everything about me. I noticed strange things about her, such as the way she cares for me and the way she treats me. I decided to tell her about what I feel. I found out that we both have mutual strong affection. The problem is my girl back home. She doesn't know that I have some one here. If you weigh my feelings for both of them, it's hard to tell who matters more to me.I'm happy if I talk to my girl back home and I'm happy if I'm with my girl here. Things became more confusing when my first love reentered the scene. I mean she started sending messages to me and calling me here. She's currently in the United States today but she keeps telling me that she still loves me and told me to wait for my petition. She wants me to go there, too. Just what I said, she is the first woman that I ever loved. I confessed to her about my other girlfriends but she just doesn't mind. The girl back home doesn't know about the other two girls. Koyang Ingo, if you're in my situation what will you do and what is the best way to determine who is the best girl for me. It's hard for me to tell the difference and my feelings about them are equal. I really want to get settled when I get back home but the problem is who shall I choose? I'm asking for your advice di po ako babaero but love comes in a confusing way.
salamat po and more power...

Confused About Love

Dear Confused About Love,
There is a lot of love in this world as there are many fishes in the ocean. That, is good.

Salamat abe keng pamagtiwala mu ing malyaring adinan dacang advice keng masanting mung cabilian a panga baintau. Manyaman ing bie baintau istung atin cang obrang masalese at atin ka naman panaun makipagkaluguran careng medio kasing edad mung babae o dalaga.

Ing problema mu kareng irog mu normal muyan at masanting a problema. Isipan mu namu....nung ala kang problemang makanyan, alang malugud a atlung babaing masalese queca. Ing sumangid na nita, nung ala ya ing problema mung yan...ala kang atlung babaing masalese a luluguran. Pupurian daca ing malinis mung lugud kareng kekang caluguran. Ala na sigurung malungkut a bie nung e ing metung a baintaung alang irog o caluguran o a yagkat man ituking mamasyal instung atin ocasyun o atin kang buring tagunan a social event, o bisa kang mamasyal magdrive leisurely keng sunset boulevard o makiramdam kareng favoritu mung musica, o misan-misan maglakad keng beach at mitatayid mitatalanan gamat. Kailangan ning metung a baintau at ning metung a dalaga nung nuya man carin keng panaun a ita bancanita ing bie ra mika color at ligaya. Nung misan, uli ning kailangan ning bie tamu ing makanyan, king e tamu sasarian makapanasakit tamung pilubluban kareng kekatamung caluguran. Pero ing bie tamu kerakalan e tamu balu ning nucarin na katamu i padpad o nung ninung salabat keng kekatamung dalan.

Ing planu mu, ambisyun mu keng bie, principio mu tungkul keng masanting at malugud a ugali, emo sana panasakitan deng caluguran mu agiang mikawani kayu....pakit mu ing malinis mung disposicion at dinan mulang panaun para makapag preparacion la nung nanu man ing malyari hangang agyu mu. E mula bibitin keng panahon uling ila antimo ika atin lang hangaran a masanting keng bie ra. Nung nanu man ing malyari keng relacion yu....gawan mu keng agyu mu ing era sana a sabi ing eka malinis a puso at sana gawan mu na nung karelang balikdan ...manyaman at malinis ing memory da keka.

Friendship and love many times come in the same color with differing flavor. Just be honest to yourself and to those you meet and learn to love as well as remember the golden rule. Someone you may not even know will take care of you. Love may die or grow stronger or bring new growth when seen through time and space. May your life continue to be filled with love that brings contentment, peace and nobility in purpose.

With every good wish to you, now and for all the years to come.

Dear Koyang Ingo,
Good day po sa inyo. Ang may problema ang sister ko kasi ang sister ko sanay siyang may ginagawa, nag-oofice,then nung nag asawa siya nag-stop sa work niya, naghintay na lang siya ng petition from USA, how long ba dapat maghintay ng petition? According sa lawyer nila sa USA, okey daw po ang maghintay na lang ng notice from the Embassy here in the Philippines. Kasi po naiinip na ang sister ko sa paghihintay.
Sana po mabigyan ninyo ako ng payo about the situation.

Marami pong salamat.

Gina Sibal Go

Dear Gina,
Salamat sa pagsulat mo. Mayroong mga general information tungkul sa mga iba ibang situacion ng mga petition para sa immigration sa Estados Unidos ng America. Karamihan ay ang bawa't isang petition ay may sariling situation. Halimbawa...ang nag petition ba ay U.S. Permanent Resident o U.S. Citizen? Sa palagay ko, ang nakakaalam ng status ng petition ng Ate mo ay ang United States Embassy, Manila, The National Visa Center in Portsmouth, NH Telephone (603) 334-0700, ang abogado ng asawa ng Ate mo, ang asawa niya, at maaring ang Ate mo. Itong mga sumusunod na mga websites ay maaring makapagbibigay ng mga general informacion sa tanong mo. Kung ako sa iyo, magtanong ka muna sa Ate mo, sa asawa niya o sa abogado nila at iba pa kung papayagan ka nilang magtanong para sa kanila.
