Why do some of the Filipinas like Foreigners to be their husband or boyfriend? What has to do with the Filipino guys? Is there any differences in attitude and character? Is money and luxury has great effect on it? or it has to do with love even if you belong to different culture and races?
Tell me your comments, answers and suggestions, I may post it and let our men redears know why, how, and what they have to do to capture a Filipina Heart. I will gladly appreciate your comments.

I was lucky this weekend. I got to attend a fun, relaxing and exiting weekend cruise. It was really a relaxing trip without any telephone and Internet. Really that is not totally correct. My mobile phone was working but at satellite rate and since I refuse to pay silly high rates for phone calls, SMS and Internet I was by all practical means cut of from the world.
For you that have never attended a Cruise I want to provide some background information. A Weekend or Mini Cruise is basically one, two or three night on board a luxury ship going from one port to another and returning. The marked for Mini cruises have increased at high rate for the last years and now you have offerings in Europe and the US that cost only from USD100 and up. Some packages includes 3 meals a day and for some packages you have to pay for your food.
My experience is that this Cruises now are really good value for money. You get 5 star hotel standard at less than 40% of comparable hotel rates. The ship included a big hotel with maybe 2500 rooms, in my case the ship had 12 restaurants and a few hamburger bars. So you can eat cheap or 6 course gourmet meals depending on your mood and your wallet.
My trip lasted for 2 night. The ship had 2 fantastic shows every evening and a number of other entertainments. There was a 160 meeter long shopping street inside with a number of tax free stores, a swimming pool and a cinema. I specially enjoyed the Massage and the bubble bath in the Spa and Fitness Center. I also tried the Sauna and spend a few hours in the Gym.
On my boat they did not call it Swimming pool, it is called Aqualand. It is a range of pools and fun for kids and grown ups. Really cool. For the younger population the boat also had Adventure Planet, Teen Plaza and Kids corner. For some adults the Casinos are very popular.
Since 1990 the cruise industry has grown at an average annual passenger rate of 7.4%. By year end 2009 the cruise market will reach 16 million annual passengers worldwide. Looking forward to 2011 that number is projected to reach 17.9 million.
Have you ever been to a Cruise or want to attend a Cruise. Please tell me about it by leaving a comment below.
