Diversity in the Philippines Starts and Ends with Shirt Color

August 5, 2017 Timmy Bee

Growing up in the Northeastern part of the United States means I’ve been exposed to just about every race imaginable. You name it, I’ve hated and been hated by someone whose ancestors came from a particular part of the world. … Continue reading Diversity in the Philippines Starts and Ends with Shirt Color

Empty Seats in the Philippines Are Treated Differently Than in the US

June 22, 2017 Timmy Bee

One constant reminder regarding the difference between the Philippines and US is how people treat the empty seat next to them. Specifically, the way we handle vacant seats on public transit. For some reason, many Americans like to guard that … Continue reading Empty Seats in the Philippines Are Treated Differently Than in the US

Cold Showers Are All Over the Philippines

May 4, 2017 Timmy Bee

I grew up thinking cold showers were for torturing criminals and testing the limits of our nipple length. Jenny, as a Filipino native, thought differently. In case you’ve been living under a rock, there are two things you should know. … Continue reading Cold Showers Are All Over the Philippines

Benefit of a Long Distance Relationship: It’s All Yours

April 22, 2017 Timmy Bee

Long distance relationships don’t come with many benefits. It’s like my work offering a one-percent 401K match. It’s a kind gesture, but would take a couple thousand years to earn anything substantial in the retirement fund. One benefit in a … Continue reading Benefit of a Long Distance Relationship: It’s All Yours

Filipino Flavors: What’s an Ube?

March 5, 2017 Timmy Bee

Filipinos have many of the same flavors as we do in the US. Chocolate is common in the Philippines as are many other classics. I’m pretty sure North Korea is the only place without chocolate. As far as ice cream … Continue reading Filipino Flavors: What’s an Ube?

LDR No More

November 3, 2016November 3, 2016 Jenny Bee

Three days ago, I met Timmy again after six months. It was different from the last times we’ve been together. Back then it ended in painful goodbyes after several days. This time, it would take several years before we have … Continue reading LDR No More

Are You Afraid of Foreign Food?

August 29, 2016 Timmy Bee

Marrying a foreigner means an opportunity to eat the food she grew up with. What’s normal to Jenny isn’t always something I’m too familiar with. Filipino cuisine includes lots of pork and soups. Growing up in America, most of my … Continue reading Are You Afraid of Foreign Food?

LDR is Freaking Hard. And I Wouldn’t Have it Any Other Way

August 18, 2016August 18, 2016 Jenny Bee

Many times in a long distance relationship you’d have to force yourself to be positive. Positive that you’ll see each other soon enough. That you’ll be together one day and never have to say goodbye again. It’s not easy. Back … Continue reading LDR is Freaking Hard. And I Wouldn’t Have it Any Other Way

August 17, 2016August 17, 2016 Jenny Bee

In a couple of weeks’ time, I’m gonna rob Timmy of his glorious bachelor’s life. To do that, I’d have to move away from my family–that means, I can no longer taste Filipino food as often as I want. Unless, … Continue reading Cooking 101: Humba (Or How to Feed Your Husband-to-Bee)

Privacy in Filipino Bathrooms vs. American Bathrooms

August 10, 2016 Timmy Bee

A quick observation I’ve made during both of my trips to the Philippines: the bathrooms are different. I won’t even get into the tabos. I’ll save that for Jenny to explain sometime. Instead, let me briefly explain about the difference … Continue reading Privacy in Filipino Bathrooms vs. American Bathrooms

Love is Patient…Until it’s Not

July 25, 2016July 25, 2016 Jenny Bee

Loving someone from half a world away is painful at times. True, I wouldn’t change a thing on how my relationship with Timmy evolved. I believe that falling in love with someone living more than 8000 miles away has been … Continue reading Love is Patient…Until it’s Not

Love is Hiding Together from the Rest of the World

June 27, 2016June 27, 2016 Jenny Bee

I miss Timmy all the time. Sometimes even when we’re chatting on Facebook. The longing to be with, to touch your sweetheart gets stronger everyday.

What It’s Really Like to Ice Skate for the First Time

June 8, 2016June 9, 2016 Jenny Bee

Show Me Your Puso: Rice is Close to the Hearts of All Filipinos

May 5, 2016May 5, 2016 Timmy Bee

Puso is the Visayan word for rice. Puso is also the Tagalog word for heart. Jenny Bee speaks Visayan, an off-branch of the Filipino language. I guess it’s basically the English equivalent of Jive or just mumbling everything you say. … Continue reading Show Me Your Puso: Rice is Close to the Hearts of All Filipinos
