Default A Success Story

I met my friend Barry in Costa Rica in 2005 and he took me with him on my first trip to the Phils in March 2006. It was mainly planned at a party adventure but I met Divina my third day and she traveled with us for the rest of the trip. I had fallen in love with the Philippines and Filipina women. On the plane trip back Barry told me "Now no one will understand you except me".

In November 2007, he met Lina in Scores Bar in Subic. This was the same bar where Jessa worked so they were friends. I met Jessa in December and in March 2008 she became my GF. Lina became Barry's GF in February.

Lina was a widow of an American and since they had a child together she was receiving $1200 a month from US social security. She didn't need money at all and the only reason she worked at Scores was she wanted to meet a man.

In November Lina and CC (her daughter) came to the US on a fiancee visa and they were married in February. Lina's back here for the summer (for 11 weeks) and Barry will join her for the last seven for his vacation. It is obvious from everything she says and does that she is totally in love with Barry and I know he adores her.

There is a 25 year age difference. He's 53 and she's 28. He brought her to the US and I am certain he has nothing to worry about. She doesn't even have Filipino friends and spends her life taking care of her husband and duaghter,

Barry was here last summer before they were married and Lina, Jessa Barry and I went out almost every night. I was a little worried that maybe Lina wouldn't be warm to Mitch since she was a friend of Jessa's but this worry was completely unfounded. In two days they have become like sisters, hugging each other, planning a ladies only disco nite together.

So this is an example of a huge age difference and bringing the woman to the US. Walang problema.
