(While many of the items in Part I might be true, Bob Lingerfelt (also married to a Filipina) of FilipinaWives.com thinks they are a bit misleading. After all, Filipina wives are not mere eccentricities, they’re also loving, nurturing women who typically do their best to make a perfect home. So after you finish reading the preceding list, try this one. It’s a bit more even handed.) was edited & also from wedding@work

the Real Deal: You may be married to a Filipina if . . .

there’s always singing in your house, even when the radio’s off.
your own mom, who was lukewarm about your marriage originally, now calls you long distance…to talk to your wife, not to you.
your family announces that in the unlikely event of a divorce between you and your wife, she will always have a place to stay, but you better find a new family.
your wife asks to get a job so that you will both have a little extra money, then thanks you for not complaining about having to drive her to work.
your wife has a contagious smile.
you both decide to divide your spare income, and you spend yours on a computer game or a power tool, only to learn that she spent her money buying clothes for you
she might not have had a second pair of shoes growing up, but she’s rapidly making up for lost time.
you complain when your wife tells you that longaniza is only for breakfast.
you learn to like rice, even plain.
you have a budget.
she may only tell you she loves you once in awhile. But, she shows you that she loves you in everything she does and says.
you go to sleep each night knowing you’re the luckiest man in the world.
