What's your real name
I send money through Remitly
Not pay pal.
I can afford to send 2,000 p a month to help a fellow American live the dream in the Philippines
Really? or joke only😁😂🤣😎
Dude, why would I give you money so that you can give it to your Philippine girlfriend. If you can't afford it get yourself another job. Are you really that desperate to find a woman.
Heard a saying from a guy from PI now in America. "A Marriage has three rings, an engagement ring, a wedding ring, and the suffer ring..."
@JustABill02. i had the suffer ring with 2 years of marriage counseling (cost $38,000) and divorce court (attorney fee $31,000). That suffer RING is damn EXPENSIVE!
Cheaper and less headache to stay single :)
do a "live in" with a Pinay in the Phil. Many Filipinos do that anyway .....
56 .. never been married .. no kids .. FREEDOM !! and hella ^&/#@%!!! LOT cheaper !
@@paulthurson Hello, Paul. Are you an expat living in PI?
@@quasimotto8653
I'm based in a north east asian country 7 months of the year and spend 5 months in the Philippines .. pre-Covid :)
@@paulthurson Sounds like a good setup......thanks for answering.
So when you try to "hook up", the PI girls don't try to push you into a relationship/marriage?
Bro you like one of them
I TOLD YOU SO PPL lol
This channel woulda save me some$$ and grief . Yall better listen cause this man on point
I've been to the Philippines multiple Times. That plane ride is Brutal. Filipinas are beautiful and Good women ( MOSTLY). They really have a unbelievably hard life. It's unreal in the beginning finding out the average salary of 100 to 500 dollars a month. I am changing for Dominican Republic and Colombia. I can take a plane ride to Either country and be there in the Same Day. The women are just as Beautiful, Cooperative, Respectful and Appreciative. Good Luck Everyone.
@@bobbruce4135
Google translate until you catch on to basic Spanish but the women will also catch on to English. Some speak basic english.
@@bobbruce4135 lower mileage is key.. filipinas from province are usually new to hardly used... I don't know about other places.
I AGREE WITH YOU BRO, COL/DOM/ MUCH SHORTER PLANE RIDE...

I would never ever take my girlfriend away from her family and friends and take her back to the uk.
We have discussed this and she does not want to do that.
I want to leave the western way of thinking where it belongs in the west 🇵🇭
I could not imagine the anger I'd have spending a small fortune to bring a woman from PI to the USA, only for that woman to toss me aside and become as promiscuous as the rest here.
Very likely to happen
Happens all the time.
There’s no fool like an old fool.
Yep, happened to me, and I was a young guy, early 30s.
@@johnwales4214 I was chatting to one on CB about a year ago, lives in a southern state in the US ( not TN), was cool at first then admitted she was still married has secret , skype and whatsapp . Married to an older guy (over 60) has a pinoy kid which he took on and one of her own. He is paying for everything , still working, rented house, and I said why are you on here??? Oh .. she said , need a plan B always . the guy has done nothing wrong. She works part time and sends that money home . The interesting part is that she meets with other Filapena expats regularly, six to eight of them for the usual pinoy food and karaoke whose husbands jobs range from trucker to Doctor. She told me half of them are looking for a way out or plan B .
Women's hypergamy is international and always present..
Thanks for the Information Brother.. have no plans for her to come to america! I know better!
I bought a ring in SM mall, 2013, 30 k , pesos ,... hell of a rock !!! Actually got it back when we split up. Bleeding another guy dry right now as we speak 😂😂😂
@@joehouston2833 Dumped me for a richer guy.
I myself grew up in the 🇵🇭. So therefore I know exactly what you talking about Filipino women and men.
Cal done his homework for this person that inquired about how much it costs to bring his Wife to The US! Thumbs Up for his Channel!
If yiou go to Iloilo the malls don't provide toilet paper and handsoap and sometimes no restroom are working. Half of the year it rains and yet no water comes out of the faucet. Philippines a sorry place to live but love is cheap cheap
yup the mall owners are very greedy. You need to complain and report because Filipinos are taught not to complain. It doesn't compare to anything close to first world convenience so The sexpat foreigners should really stop going there just so they can get cheap women.
@@noeminoemi1350 there is no word in Tagalog for complain and if you teach a Filipino to go right he'll turn left. Mall owners should be jailed but there is no jail in the Philippines. Filipinas love foreigner...they don't care if you are criminal in your home country the keyword is foreigner = money
Bangkok's is better guys more developed
I come across this video clips, can help but to crack up so hard, everything that you mentioned is so damn true.
😆
Another really good informative video. I’m definitely hooked. Even though I love in Japan, I may never go to the Philippines, but I still like watching your vids. In some ways the information you provide apply to all relationships anywhere.
It's cheaper to keep her in the Philippines. That's to much money to bring her back to USA.
That’s the best way to do it. Because the moment her feet touches US soil will the beginning of the end.
@jb79, you are 100% correct. No matter how well you treat them..and if its a large age gap they will be asked all the time "why".
To all guys , the USA $$$ buys lots of Paso, so keep her there
@@JelaniB28 yes bro fact, she can dum you and then say you abused her to get citizenship.
Perhaps, but the rest of her family will be moving in with you and expect to be taken care of.
Damn thats crazy. Is that very common there for them to pawn
their engagement rings? It really does cost a lot of money to bring your filipina here. I brought my wife here almost two years ago. All of the back and fourth traveling + hotels + K1 visa and many more do add up like you said.
Yes and a subscriber mentioned the price of coming here to validate the relationship 😊
@@calroach1 : Lol I heard you said $5k. It actually costs more than that depending on how many times you have to travel back and fourth to Philippines. Im not even talking about the entire process (I-129 -+ medical + visa + hotel for the embassy in Manila + adjustment of status etc.) When you did it, it was cheaper. I did it two years ago and I heard it's even more expensive. You've been giving us foreign men a lot of good advice. Some of these guys really need to listen to you.
Poor people need food and medicine and clothes, not jewelry.
Don't ever give a Filipina expensive jewelry. She will pawn it as soon as a family "need" arises. And then, of course, you will have to get it out of hock.
Don't upgrade her lifestyle much. The family will expect upgrades too.
F***** the family. I don't need a package deal. ...just her take it or leave,
Great points man! Hopefully the viewers will follow your advice carefully!
The best ring cleaner is an ultrasonic cleaner. Suited to domestic use, this ultrasonic cleaner cleans all your watches, jewellery, fountain pens, dentures, razor heads, printer heads, small silverware and small machined parts. It can also be used to clean circuit boards and components - just remember to let them dry thoroughly before re-applying power! Mains powered and easy to use.
That’s correct Calvin. Instead of sending money here blindly and having no control of how it’s spent, do yourself a favor, create a new saving account and save money monthly. This is huge for you once the time comes when your ready to have her join you in the states. It’s only a large amount if your looking at the total cost. Get your list like Calvin has given and know the process. It’s more time consuming and frustrating during the wait then anything else. Save your money so you can pay for the process. It’s really a broken up process where you need to pay here and there for certain things. Don’t let this be the reason you don’t have her join you, be prepared! I’ve also heard of a service where there are Filipinas that take on your case and walk the couple through the entire process. It’s done very professionally and in my opinion it’s the way to go. They even will meet you in Manila and attend your appointments with you.
@@jagaleo3141 hi Kevin, I’m assuming your asking me this question? If so, I can only give you my experiences in this matter. Frankly, it’s been a good 13 years since I used any dating site. I’ve picked up through watching different vloggers that there are a few different dating sites. I used only one, it was Filipino Cupid. I established a profile and was honest about myself. According to my wife, I wrote to much about myself and she became bored with my running on. So if I may suggest, keep your statements short and be precise. Give solid honest answers but don’t go on for to long. Your attempting to create an interest but not to come off as desperate. Now I’ve been told there are a few other sites you may want to look into and research them. Your looking for ones that have a picture and that you can establish online communication with. If you listen to Calvins posts he’s got a lot of solid rules to follow. In fact I’m kinda in agreeance that the dating sites can kinda screw you up if your not able to use it properly. I found it a vital tool to use in allowing me to weed out and narrow down a short list of girls I was interested in getting to know better while I was online. The ultimate key for you is to figure out when you will be traveling here and preparing yourself for that. example the saving of money. You have much more power if you don’t have a limited budget. If you’ve developed a relationship with someone you really like, it helps you prepare for where you will travel to. If you find someone, there’s ways to test her. It helps knowing someone here that can assist you with this. My wife has helped several people who thought they where in a good relationship with a Filipina. They would work with my wife who has a great ability of tracking and investigating others here. For example, finding out if the person has multiple Facebook accounts or other social media outlets that she may have. These are very telling and can make or break a relationship. My wife has exposed several girls as frauds that where lying about who they where. Your biggest concern is being taken advantage of by a con person that’s not truthful. That’s why I always suggest you are testing your girl how ever slight constantly and take great notes both on paper and mentally. She must pass all your test. Use due diligence always. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns, I don’t mind giving my opinion. Thanks for asking, and good luck.
Honestly even as an American woman, I think that a grand on an engagement ring is ridiculous. I mean I think the whole marriage thing is needless as well but definitely you shouldn't be spending that kind of money up front.
I have my engagement ring I didn't know how much is this coz I didn't asked to my fiance and I keep for 3 years until but he change he's attitude and he forgot he's promises so it's not matter what kind of ring it's that
Your refreshing attitude about it is uncommon especially for someone living in the west.
@@dewaynebanks1397 Thank you. I actually think that most people are going to start forgoing marriage altogether. It just comes with too many obligations.
@@heatherfeather9951 Yes, it is called responsibility. It takes tons of patience and effort. If you can not handle it, best not to be married. But it does have benefits, for those who can see and appreciate them.
Great video brother!! My cousin had brought his flipina wife here in the usa years ago and i asked him about how much he payed and he said he payed around 5000 usd with a lawyer!!
Thats about right. I did the paperwork myself but can cost atleast $3500 for a lawyer and fees by itself.
GREAT VIDEO...I been planning for all of this... so it's great to hear another perspective
U.S. Poverty line is $12,760 and the website says to add $4,480 dollars for every person in the house above 8 years old.
I'm glad I came across this post. I was told for years it was over $20,000 but it's extremely refreshing to know that I make twice that much so that part should be easy.
@@TakuX according to the website to be below the poverty line and be making above $20,000 is a 3 person household. You are considered below poverty if you make less than $21,720 per year. There is a chart the government deems correct on the link below.
www.healthcare.gov/glossary/federal-poverty-level-fpl/
It's best to keep her home eventually she will do a complete 180 once she has become Americanized.
Agree
That is soo correct . Or she will be unlike and will peer pressure and start developing depression from American women and society itself.
I say, just move to the country / province and live a simple life with her, let her plant all her food....
My Filipina gets $40 every now and then like every other month. I never spoil her with depending on me. She wants me to come back to have a family. I keep it very simple with her. Less is more.
“Less is more” you are correct Sir.
@@larryp3641 6 or 60
Larry p,They will hustle fellas there the same as women here in the U. S. my Filipina friends keep it real,I would never stop their hustle. I stay at their homes and not hotels and see it all but they are great ladies there. Some are to be avoided though.
@@larryp3641 😂😂
@@larryp3641 lol, lol, lol You must have read the filipina hand book on how to milk foreigner. 6 is the minimum. I saw an interview with online filipina and she said 9 guys were sending her $30 - $60 each per month. She's making a good living for herself and her local boyfriend
I think you should not go to the Philippines right out the box thinking about marriage anyway that's how alot of american men have got hemmed up. As Calvin has said many of times go there have fun and just take your time. Time will tell where her head is.
In Philippines, do not brag about having too much money to spend in front of a Filipina. If you like to have a serious relationship with a Filipina, do not spoiled them too much. If she start to be demanding, that is a red flag. Do not overwhelmed them with gifts for that will work against you. Comment from a FIL/AM Army veteran from California.
i just want to say thank u for helping filipinos during this pandemic God Bless u more a thousand folds.
Always good advice. Thank you for your research and experience.

Thanks and welcome to my channel!
Every westerner should listen to sunshine before hooking up with a Pinay....he is dead right! Perhaps ask the girl if she wants a nice smart phone and a cheap ring or an expensive ring? She will end up losing it, getting it snatched or stolen by a relative. My advice is take the girl to a jewellery shop in her city and see which ring she chooses....it will tell you a lot about what you are getting yourself into
Agree 100%. Some guys are really rushing through things. I'd really take my time (4-5 years before even thinking about proposing to a filipina)
@@NYJGreatness yep slow down Bro's
Some of the old foreigners looking for young pinays may not have 4-5 years😁😂🤣have you seen some of the age gaps😎
@@NYJGreatness Yeah I hear ya but will a girl wait around that long for a ring?
Yea Bro...they don't appreciate the money you spend..ie...computer or washing machine...if they break it they don't care cause they NEVER paid 4it..😡😡😡
cause we Kano have an ATM card attached to an unlimited number of dollars
This time i spent exactly that on an engagement ring and she is happy ...my previous one i broke it off and chalked it up to experience lol
No more rings in my future....divorced twice, I’ve learned my lesson. 😂

We got married in the Philippines and I brought her here with k-3 visa. It cost about the same as the k-1 visa but takes longer. It took almost 2 years to finally jump through all the hoops and get her on a plane. But... It was well worth it.
More great insights - thanks again.
Lol 😂 I love how you said that if you have to ask the price then you probably can’t afford it
Hey brother im here putting another 👍 really enjoying the channel with quality content. The accent and the info is gold. If you ever do a good (boots on the ground) t shirt im ready to support. Also do you think the currency rate will go back up when international travel is allowed again?
Thanks brother I appreciate you. Yes the dollar will rise once the pandemic subsides and trading resumes.
That's true....My ex pawned her ring and my ring, til this day never had a wedding ring. They will pawn anything and everything if they need the money, Trust Calvin :)
Great information. Thanks for your effort.
Then youre expected to support her family when she is in the U.S. not working
My Wife had Tuberculosis..it took 4 years to get her to the U.S ..Apply 1 year..tgen medical fail...1 year tb treatment..reapply..1 yr app process...all the money supporting her for 4 yrs travel to manila..then the best part after 4 yrs of seeing each other 2 months a year...she got to the U.S. and got depressed and cheated..havent seen her for 2 years..now i have to divorce that scammer
Live with any Filipina in the Philippines first..
Dont bring them to the U.S. theyre greed takes over..theyre born cheaters..its cultural
Wow sorry to hear that. My wife failed the sputum twice and we waited 22 months. No TB though. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, great info.
Add another $2-5K to go to PH for proof of relationship.
😆😆😆 how did I forget that one!!!
I never bought an engagement ring and never wore a wedding-ring, because I don't like such stuff. My Pinay wife occasionally wears a ring (a present by my mother, who didn't buy it either, she already owned it), but not the wedding-ring. There were such, but I never wore it and don't even know where it is. Travelling to my country cost exactly the economy-prize-ticket. We are both no big spenders, but prefer to think where we could both save money to better spend it on the house-renovation over there and later travelling to countries we currently don't have time to visit. I am satisfied with a comparably simple life and my wife is not a "luxury-lover" either despite being a university-graduate. She didn't marry me because of my money (which I never had so very much), but because of my personality. Some of her siblings have more money than I have.
* NEVER , EVER bring her back to your country! A losing game! Stay in PL.
Very expensive to bring a scammiphina home
Your videos are awesome.
All in for my foreign wife (we’re separated now) was $4000 USD in mid 2000s dollars.
All hail Calvin, All hail Calvin, Once again great words of wisdom. Thank you
Thanks brother and happy new year!
Most Filipinas online are poor and looking for opportunities. Here in the Philippines there are plenty women with decent job and income. My wife bought the condo we live in and she has her own money. Marry with in your age, education and status, that makes things easier.
Best advise Mauritis. Marry up up not down
It is so easy to clean jewelry and it only takes 1 hour. 1st, soak the item(s) in a mixture of Dawn Soap with warm water for 20 minutes...Then gently rinse. After soak in a mixture of Witch Hazel, Tea Tree Oil & Baking Soda for 20 minutes...Then gently rinse & dry with a $2.00 Ultra Soft Micro Fiber Polishing Cloth.
I appreciate not having ads on your videos. I don't know how the ad works but maybe start adding some to make a little more income coming in. I don't mind not skipping the ads to help/support you out with exceptions of the ones that are like 2hours long or something. Just a suggestion.
Its actually up to TH-cam how and when to place those adds.
(portaloi ads, etc) informative...thanks
Another way to clean your jewelry is with acetone and just dipping into the hours at home for a few seconds and then they clean it
All "spot on".
I agree with you. Everywhere is hard right now. Hope next year will do better the world .
6 k keep preaching brother they will come
Been there done that! No need for diamond either! Simple gold band remember they do everything by hand like laundry they get caught on everything!! Ps check the pawn shops might find mine cheap lol
Haha, you might just find some other poor guys ring at that shop!

I was wondering if there's a cheaper way of sending money. When I sent you $40 dollars, it only cost me $40 dollars. When I send money to Thailand, Western Union charges a large fee. What if they set up a PayPal account like you did? Then it would be no fee. What do you think about that?
Hi! I just want u to know I really enjoy your channel. I watch on my smart tv so I don't comment as much as I'd like but I do give you the thumbs up! Great advice. Your right about the ring although I never had to worry about her pawning it. One thing the viewers should know when it comes to the K1 visa. She (your Filipina) must stay in the USA a minimum of 5 years IOT collect payments from your social security when I croak. That's what we were waiting for when the pandemic hit. And we're looking forward to coming home (back to the Philippines) December 2021. It would be nice to meet u. I think we'd get along great. Ohh and your message of helping the less fortunate does not fall on deaf ears. I find myself looking to help the local homeless more so because of you so good Job! Take care. -Pete
FYI: Not all banks will transfer money to foreign countries for free. My credit union wants $35/transaction.
after the ring conversation.... the K1 visa conversation was very interesting. you placed everything in order...Going to need details on that.
But over all the prices. seems better just to move to their! and get her a pass port or dual pass port and both travel. sounds cheaper...
Jewelry Cleaners are everywhere in Colon St. in Cebu City. They are in the sidewalks not inside the malls.
Yes I am engaged to a beautiful Filipina and because of COVID we can’t see each other and so I pay for her housing food gadgets. I will probably move there in Dumaguete once this COVID crap
is over. Never ever spend money on diamonds 💎 as you will overpay by far. A gold band will hold its value.
Calvin, the 10 year support document can be a nightmare if the woman isn't sincere!
For self remittances, the simplest solution is to open a Citibank account in the USA. Use your Citibank ATM card at any Citibank Philippines ATM (or anywhere in the world), there is no ATM fee. Just have to deal with the exchange rate fluctuations which wasn't too far off from XE.com, as far as I remember.
I emailed you, Cal. Please take a look.
Hey Calvin....Good Morning to you....Have you heard of this area or town in the Philippines call Lapaz?....it is suppose to be about an hour away from Tacloban!....If you’re familiar,what kind of area is that like and the people that live there?....I watch your video about places to stay away from and people who speak different dialogue...I’m wondering if this might be one of those funny places!...Please advised?
Hey Bruver, enjoyed your video full of information. Giving to others is so important at this time people are in a bad position over there because its about putting food on the table. I am saying this not to give it the big I AM but to encourage others to help if you're in a position to.
I have been sending $125.00 PCM to an old lady we call Nana. Also, I have been giving money to the Rotary club because they have a "feed the kids" program. I have been doing this since the scamdemic started. Every little helps those less fortunate than ourselves.
Enjoyed your video great information. Thank you. GOD Bless you and yours. M
Hey Calvin. Great video. I'm going to live in the Philippines after I retire and my girlfriend and we discussed it. It's ridiculously expensive to bring my girlfriend to the US and more expensive to live in the US also. We enjoy the warm to hot weather there and I won't have to worry about shoveling snow living there. Thank you so much for the info you gave in the video and it's very helpful. Keep em' rolling!

@@joehouston2833 It depends. She may have kids depending on how many, she may not have kids, she could be living with family or alone with or without kids.

8000 aud to have a marrage visa in Australia thats just over 10k us money + airfares and a 19 month wait.

Yeah, and all that just to eventually deliver your wife to some other guy in the US waiting for her at her job or at the club. 😂
@@dewaynebanks1397 Damn! That’s cold 🥶 FACTS! The US system will swallow up any women from another country.
Don’t forget about the cost for the divorce, child support and possibly alimony once she gets over there, gets indoctrinated by feminists ideas and gets constantly approached by countless simps to eventually change and explore other options.
It was not nearly as expensive paperwork wise since my wife was already on a visa here in the US to work. But wow that would add up. New subscriber and your videos are amazing. I and my wife are very young, me(24) her (27) and I’m curious as to wether it is possible for an American to find a good job as well or if we should only plan on staying long term after retirement.
Welcome to my channel. You’re doing well young man so stay in America until you retire but visit here frequently. I wish I had met a filipina at 24 boy would my life have been different. Congratulations brother.
I really enjoyed your video this is the first time I came across you on you tube. I have spend a lot of years in the Philippines starting in 1971. And one of my many trips I stayed for 8 years without leaving. Sure all couples have problems but my wife and I have grown in to best friends. Now we are old and gray with health problems and relay on each other. However I was single during many of trips wink wink ;0). There was no internet or you tube when we got married so what you do will help others and entertain me. My wife and I also enjoy watching " The Filipina Pea " channel on you tube. We find we agree with most things she says. I do not know if you read two day old comments like mine.
My humble advice
If you planning to get married or engaged, think twice
Theres no divorce in the Philippines only annulment but good luck.
Dont bring your wife to America even tough you think your wife is the best woman in the world.
Hey you know charles Schwab gives free international transaction fees. You can use your debit card, and you will be charge, but it gets reimbursed on the statement. They are a must for Expats. I will be Swing trading with them while I live there. I don't know what problems I will run into tax wise. I know there are Filipino's that trade on the U.S. Stock market, so I'm assuming they pay U.S. taxes. All you need is WIFI and a Laptop. I will do a trail run when possible, 2-3 months to see different cities to decide where I want to live. I just wish this pandemic will end so I can move along with my plans.

No that would be too dangerous and I’d stick out like a sore thumb. There are red flags though, too many to miss!
No worries Cal, I understand Fratello. If you could make one suggestion for a 1st time to the phillipiens, My motive is to just unwind, chill and enjoy the people & the culture. Not looking for a party i get plenty of that here. Just a chill place where i can relax. Cause i also stick out like a sore thumb. Appreciate you & what your doing with your channel. l know to stay away from the bad land's. 😂
Calvin thanks bro for the video, I knew that they will pawn it n u forgot to mention they will loose it. DAMN Bro u really are the real deal, i listen to u. Ur unique.
Thanks brother. Lose it? 😃😃😃
Agreed
I got a k1 for my wife who is dominican after everything it was like 8 grand without tickets. She had to get shots because the us required them not in the DR. Also finger prints and we went threw a service.
Regular Crest under toothbrush my friend. Hope that helps.
Yeah, I purchased a pricey engagement ring for my then girlfriend she only cleaned it when 2-3 time's I asked her to. She did everything in that ring 24/7 unless her finger swelled. Eventually the diamond cracked and she insisted I don't replace it. She said it's just a waist of money to do so. I don't like or wear jewelry...not even a watch. That's when I realize she has the same outlook as me. I could've bought a much cheaper ring and she'd been just as happy. It's the idea of what it symbolizes and not it's value to her. She is from the province and thinks it's better to live off of your money than just have shiny thing's. She's my wife now.
Another good video Cal, I gotta get back in this rat race and make this $, have a good night
Awesome and factual.
FYI. If you want to keep your USA cell phone number, and not pay crazy international rates, you can port your number with Google Voice for $20, and connect it with your Phills numbers when you get one for your time there
Or you can just use Google fi it works everywhere
@@edt8378 how does it work bro. And can you use it anywhere in the world?
@@1herbsforlifeentrepreneur198 You only get data anywhere in the world with a max bill of $60 or $80 if not mistaken (unlimited data anywhere). International calling that's a different story. So if all you need is just data then google fi is for you.
Yes I'll have to and I will look into that
I did all my own paperwork back in 2002 I don’t recall it being that expensive but it took along time between steps she lived in Quezon City no regrets loved her very much
That was 20 years ago 😃🥳🤔
Don't understand why ppl keep saying don't bring your wife to the USA or any other country, that's ridiculous, especially if your still young and your job or career is there and you have never been married, you need to be with your wife or husband eventually. A family needs to be together and if your married this is the way it needs to be, if you feel you won't be able to trust your partner then you shouldn't be getting married, who's to say American, European or other women won't be worst....SMH.....
Just bring her in the US through Mexico. Completely free.
K1 visa.. you can have them sign prenup.
I was looking in Fisher Mall (Manila) and saw this cool selection of stainless steel rings. I like steel/silver so I bought one for me and my ex. She called me CHEAP. I go by how much I like something and not the price but I still felt bad. I'm like but wait, you live in a rooming house sharing a room the size of my guest bathroom in the US with a family of 3, and you talking smack?
One of the reasons she's an ex 😒
FYI... Jewelry cleaner= toothpaste and a soft toothbrush.
You can clean rings with toothpaste - research if you never heard about it.
I know a Filipino friend you does watches and jewelry
