Unfortunately, love, almost always, isn't like that in real life.
Human nature. Very volatile. One day, the candle will burn out and the flame of love will die.
No wonder, divorce rate is getting worse and worse.
"I fell out of love with you,
what a banal denouement!"
- Yevtushenko
Why marry then? For me, to help a poor but deserving Pinay lead a better life. Deserving means one who has the best potential to help the Phil.
Otherwise, can always get me a disposable human blanket.

Believe it's an obligation for every overseas Pinoy to help, in any way he can, make the Phil a better place to live in.
Also believe people at home should set aside childish pride and synergize with us. From great sacrifice comes great opportunity. When opportunity comes along, grab it.
For them, we packed up our few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in search of a new life. For them, we toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth. Sending money home. Helping the Phil ailing economy.
