When I started working at Safeway in 2001. I was introduced to a guy
who was hired a little before named Brian. I worked side by side with
him for several years before he left to work another job. Mean while, as
I was worked there I got to know a few of the security guards who are
Filipino. That was my first introduction to knowing Filipinos.
As I got to know them I got to try different foods and then it happened. My advanced course started! I met a coworker who recently started working for Safeway in the bakery named Rea and that's when I really started to learn about Filipino culture. My friend Rea had met her husband through a website called Filipino Kisses. Rea gave all the the do's and don't's of meeting Filipinas online and off I went.
I met several Filipinas online,. Most of them, however were on at 2:30AM PST. To say the least, my job performance went really down during this time. Luckily it wasn't to long before I met my future wife, Eva. She was on at 5:30AM PST. Three and half years later almost I traveled there to meet her and marry her as I had promised about 2 years earlier.
In the three and half years we used the video call feature of Yahoo Messanger to chat mostly on all Tues, Thurs and Saturdays. During that time, our way of expressing oour unity was through putting our pictures into Imikimis. It was very important to both of us that we made those pictures. Even when my wife wife, then my girlfriend was mad at me, I would make pictures on the Imikimi website. Now Eve and I had our fights, mostly due to cultural and language issues.
During the early part of May of 2012, I went to meet my wife to be in Cebu. Most of my days in the various government offices dealing with the paperwork to get married. Because of the rush time-frame, we couldn't get a judge for the date we had set. My wifes cousin, Greg had a cousin who was a mayor of nearby town called San Francisco. Luckily we were able to go there to get married then come back to the Tavern Hotel for the wedding reception.
