Birthday And Other Calibrations In Philippines Culture

[Mr Lee]

( Endless borrowing, live today and not worry about tomorrow (like saving for medical emergencies) are the typical Filipino way.)Hear Hear Jake.Lets have a party,   buy useless things,  buy a phone,   go out and get drunk,   Lets spend all our money today.Dont worry about tomorrow when the rent is due or we have no food, or the kids have an accident and need medical treatment.Now I am probably going to get jumped on by my beautiful and loving wife Che Che, BUT IMHO,It is not culture.....Just Stupidity.Waiting for the flakRegards Brock.                                :lmao:

I am going to jump in here because I do not wish this to get out of hand. Stupidity is a very strong word to use and while I believe you are directing it at your wife, and what goes on between a man and his wife are none of my business, IMO words like that should not be used on an open forum or even in a marriage or directed at a people, and IMO they will only lead to more problems. I of course cannot tell you what to do in your life, but I can tell you both that it would be best to argue in private. Cultural items and things learned in upbringing can be very difficult for many of us to understand but unfortunately for us, and for them, that is often their way and when it is, then IMHO that is why the PHL is in such trouble because of the live for today attitude.

I think this topic has ran its course and drifted away from the original topic so time to move on.
