[Master J]

Sorry for the off-topic basabasa. Anyway, my example is from an SP forumer a long time ago. Welcome pala to you!

[TARSIER]

when I accepted the job offer in thailand, my first instinct was to look for a Pinoy community so I googled it. I found some but SP registered first in my mind cos its soo easy to remember..di ko masyado inopen na ung site nung nasa Pinas pa. When I arrived in Bangkok, that's when I registered and started posting. The posts from fellow SP members are so unique and funny kaya nakakabawas sa homesickness. Hope to see some of you in flesh soon!

you will even see our soul soon...

hello @basabasa, di na fit sa yo handle mo, dapat change it na to "sulatbasa" or para medyo sosyal e "readwrite"

welcome to SP @basabasa, let us know your thoughts & opinions, that's what this forum is all about

btw, regarding sa pagkaka-ban sa yo last week, i don't remember na na-ban ka dahil in the 1st place ay di ka naman nagpo-post at dahil nga basabasa ka lang   tama si master, baka natapat lang na may glitch yung forum at the time na gusto mo talaga mag-basabasa...  

anyway, pasensya ka na kapag minsan ay di ka makapasok sa forum (try & try lang) at sana ay wag ka madadala.  you are always welcome sa SP and hope to see you soon in one of our gimiks

hello there....

strict ba ka mo parents este wife mo.... isa lang solution jan... isama mo sa gimik ng SP, matutuwa yan lalo na pag na meet nya sina madam h and the rest of the SP ladies...

@van helsing, salamat sa pg welcome mo. tama ka dina bgay skin ang handle ko na basabasa.
mas bagay skin siguro ang "basabasa-punapuna". pero wag kyo mg alala dahil wala akong kinikilingan at hindi ko sila TATANTANAN!  LOL...
at thanks din sa pg invite mo skin sa incoming gimiks. actually one of the reason na gamit ko  ang basabasa dhil bka hindi me mka attend ng meet ups kasi very strict ang parents ko este wife ko pala. hehehe..

@basabasa - sorry for a late response kc po nag-meet kami ng isang SPiers din today

@Master J - thanks for explaining to basabasa about his query

it's just my personal opinion and based on my observation, be constructive...walang masamang intention kung may tinamaan man po, bato-bato sa langit tamaan.... baka Guilty(joke).

Ask ko lang po @basabasa kung nagsisimba po ba kayo? If yes siguro naman po nakikita nyo rin.. Like what Master J mentioned, nagpupunta po tayo sa church para sumamba... kailangan po ba talaga ng chika/tsismis before and after and sometimes even during the homily? Mabuti po sana kung hindi naiistorbo yung iba mass goers. Wala po masama kung nasa labas na sila at mag-usap-usap. Pero yung inside the church.. especially kung on-going na po yung mass parang napaka-disrespectful na po yata. Sometimes din po during the homily.. nagku-kwentuhan.. so napatingin kami kc po nakakasira ng concentration them sabihan ka ng pabulong "PAKI MO" with matching irap pa. Pakipansin nga po if may ibang foreigner na ganun aside from some Filipinos?

Thanks and God Bless...

Welcome back din po sa SP..

[basabasa]

Hi reign-butterfly, salamat sa pag reply. you dont need to apologize,  actually very much
appreciated ko nga yang  positive responses mo, besides hindi nman urgent ang query ko
hehehe...I should be the one to say sorry coz bka na offend ka sa tanong ko. and I hope not.

and yes nag sisimba rin ako regularly, but Im very sure its not me nor my wife who did that act to you, So I guess we should not feel guilty about that hehehe.....but we all know that nobody is perfect. 

So you really had a very bad encounter with some pinoys during the mass huh, its really terrible.
bka nman sinit-sitan mo hehehe.............. joke lang din po
Now i fully understand the need of posting that issue in this forum.  Its good that I've triggered this point because it seems to me that now you were able to express how you feel on those destructive mass goers. And i hope, kung mabasa man ito ng iba pang pinoy eh magising rin sna tau at bka nakakalimutan na ng iba ang tamang paraan sa pagsisimba.

Anyways, siguro advise ko narin  sau sa eh loob ka ng church pumuesto dun sa unahan para siguradong walang istorbo. dahil mahihiya ang mga taong mag chikahan dun. 

Sometimes we have to accept the fact that we cannot please everyone, right? so for me what is important as long na wala ginagawa masama sa kapwa mo at di ka nakaka sakit o nakaka apekto sa kanila at nakakatulong ka nman sa iba  eh ayus na un.  But still its all depends in everyone's belief. Just my thoughts..

wala po problema.. you have the right to ask and express your opinion too..

and yes nag sisimba rin ako regularly,

sana makita ko kayo minsan hehehe.. basta wag nyo lang ako awayin hah.. (joke)

but Im very sure its not me nor my wife who did that act to you, So I guess we should not feel guilty about that hehehe.....

verdict: NOT GUILTY

but we all know that nobody is perfect. 

i agree 100%.. i have lots of imperfections too

So you really had a very bad encounter with some pinoys during the mass huh, its really terrible.
bka nman sinit-sitan mo hehehe.............. joke lang din po

tingin lang naman.. masama na pala tumingin sa nagchi-chika during mass..
hhmmm sana pala dati ko pa nalaman yun..

Now i fully understand the need of posting that issue in this forum.  Its good that I've triggered this point because it seems to me that now you were able to express how you feel on those destructive mass goers.

sana nga po ayoko na elaborate ito pero it's good thing na rin na malaman ng mga readers.. bato-bato sa langit... hehehe

And i hope, kung mabasa man ito ng iba pang pinoy eh magising rin sna tau at bka nakakalimutan na ng iba ang tamang paraan sa pagsisimba.

sana po it serves as a WAKE-UP CALL..

Anyways, siguro advise ko narin  sau sa eh loob ka ng church pumuesto dun sa unahan para siguradong walang istorbo. dahil mahihiya ang mga taong mag chikahan dun. 

na-try ko na rin po.. meron pa rin eh..

Sometimes we have to accept the fact that we cannot please everyone, right?

yup.. kayo nga di ko na-please eh... (joke)

so for me what is important as long na wala ginagawa masama sa kapwa mo at di ka nakaka sakit o nakaka apekto sa kanila at nakakatulong ka nman sa iba  eh ayus na un. 

agree

salamat @reign-butterfly sa mga comments. mukhang nag synchronize na tayo   
by the way we normally go church at 11am mass,  sna na nga ma meet kita  para mg chikahan tayo to the max during the mass este after the mass without disturbing others... oh ha!

[Master J]

Thanks RB and Basa-Basa for giving us more insights about this topic. I've been living here in Thailand for almost 12 years already (ganon na ba katagal?) kahit saang simbahan ka mapunta dami talagang mga distorbo. Di lang tsismis sa simbahan ang ginagawa nila kundi yung iba galing pa manira ng kapwa. Hindi naman lahat pero mukhang going to church serves as undoing to others. Pero pagkalabas na pagkalabas alam mo na na balik na naman sa dating gawi. Off Topic to the max na ako sorry!

Ok how did you know ba about SiamPinoy.com?

[basabasa]

oh yes @master J going back to thi topic; a friend of mine told me about this site.
at dun na nagsimula ang aking interest sa pagbabsa at kakapirangut na post dito sa siampinoy.
Very iformative and really makes sense.

[:::OrnjirA:::]

i bumped into mj at the pex forums.  he introduced the url to the original(?) siampinoy site, which was later hacked... didn't pay much attention. 

but, later on, out of boredom, and perhaps longing for some kabayan love, my pinoy colleagues have all gone back to pinas i was the lone pinoy in mukdahan and my friend was 2 provinces away in sakhon nakhon teaching in some rongrian anuban.  so, i tried to google for siampinoy once again and found the ".../forum2"

..so here i am 

[Master J]

Salamt pala sa mga friends ninyo

@ Basabasa - it's good to hear that SP is informative and sensible. Let's try to keep it that way. I hope hindi kayo magsawa to help SP keep the ball rollin

@ Keyser - oo nga pala. Tagal ko na ring di nakapagbisita doon. Laking pasalamat ko rin sa site na yun. At very successful talaga sila. I hope we can reach that level too here sa SP community.

dun ko rin sa pex na-"meet" si sn, sa photography forum namn..

dun sa pacland, i'm surprised, dami na ring mga thailand-based pinoys, kaya ibinigay ko rin sa kanila itong siampinoy address natin

the more, the merrier 

[LAPU-LAPU]

well, i am knowing the siampinoy because it is inside internet explorer.

 

fish yo!

How did I know SIAMPINOY site?


hmmmm ... almost three years ago ... in a far-far away land... hehhe joke!

Seriously, during my first weeks here in Bangkok, I had known that there is a basketball team named SiamPinoy .. but I don't know that they have a site and I never met one SPiers personally ..

then .. came February 2008 .. I was introduced by my friends (including the SPAS-VP)  to some SPAS members ..which turned out to be an awesome couple who whole-heartedly maintains siampinoy.com ...

during the SPAS mtg (of which am a proud member) ... Master J encourage us to post our shots for Ashley's photoshoot .. and to check the forum as well ...

come the 2nd day of March 2008 ...  I was able to register in SP ..  and the rest is history ....

SO, how did I know SIAMPINOY.com then? ---> simply because of SPAS ^ - ^

[ajarn_ph]

I was encouraged to join SP (siampinoy.com) this early leap year when I met erick (a siampinoy moderator) by ym (instant yahoo messenger). The truth is, I know him only by name and by search at ajarn.com, his identity as Jimmy Lee. It was in my own interest to find someone like him to join my group. It was like sharing the information. He is also a member to Ajarn Philippine yahoogroup.

[Master J]

It's interesting to know how each and everyone found out about SP. I hope you will not get tired of sharing SP to fellow kababayans. Mabuhay kayo!

[Darfur]

ako nmn inimbitahan ni Jimmy Lee kc dito raw kami magusap ng masinsinan sa SP. so ayun hangang maging at home na ako dito s site tapos 3 times n me nakipagmeet up na di ko nmn talga hilig. hermit kc ako. malaki ang nagawa ng SP s personality ko. Thanks for that.

[M!sS_D]

Mukhang marami tayong newbies ngayon.

Please share your stories on how did you know about SP.

TY

[Darfur]

Through my good friend, Sanel. Then i joined the 1st meet up at Shamrock and met Candy, Mark, Master J, Madam H and many more cool pipol.  It has been a long time, but back then SP was still sweet and charming
