In Taipei I was eating these every day for $1.50 each. Wish we had equivalent quality street food here, cause this is better than any fast food on earth.

Ham and cheese pancake?

 

[sfc415]

Yeah, it sounds simple but there's a sauce they put on it which makes it It's pretty filling too. I actually had more stuff in it other than ham and cheese; I pointed at the item on the menu that said "Everything" in English

Wait. Are you a girl?

Move to a city with a large asian population.

Move to Hong Kong

I plan on going to HK this year. Saving up some money for my 2017 New Year's Resolution.

I've wanted to move to HK as well but would I be shunned because I am a "jook sing". They can certainly see right through me but people have told me that I can speak it better than most ABC's here.

Wish I had a traveling friend.

Anyone else get in that notorious Asian habit of comparing yourself to other people?

I just turned 25yo and compare myself to my parents when they were the same age.

I'm directionless now. They were well on their way to becoming millionaires.

Nope. Different upbringing.
My mom grew up in Communist China. My father was an illegal immigrant in Mexico and didn't leave Mexico until he was 20. When my mom came to America in the 80s, she lived in a garage with her family. My dad struggled in America and didn't graduate college until he was 28. He opened his own business at 30 but didn't make much money until he was 35. My family didn't become middle class until the the late 90s. By that time my mom and dad was near 40.
But to put that in perspective, they worked very hard to achieve success. A lot of things take time. I'm not making millionaire money yet, but I have a plan. It takes time to figure things out.

F*** Steve Harvey.

That idiot shouldn't be talking, he looks like a muppet. It's still hard to believe women are stupid enough to believe he's a love and relationship expert.

one of the depressing things about media today is how everything is turned into these baiting type headlines, they don't even try to put things into context, it might very well be that he was being completely insensitive, steve harvey is corny but i'm not totally sure he is making fun of asian men, rather it seems like the jokes are based on the premise of the book-how to date white women: a practical guide for asian men?

What's the word on Filipino chicks?

As a non-Filipino, but Asian dude who has exclusively messed with Latinas, what do I need to know?

My 2 prospects are both cute pinays -- one refers to herself a "hypebae" -- the other is pre-med.

 

[SC kid]

If the pre med one has a good sense of humor shes a keeper.

If she has a dark sense of humor marry her.

 

[shogun]

I have no idea what a hypebae is.

I went out wifh a Filipina a few times. Known her since I was in high schhool. She was cool but wanted to take things extra slow and wanted me to take her on dates all the time. If i'm not getting action then I ain't taking you out all the time. I ended things with her and it was awkward between us for a few years. We have the same circle of friends and our friendship is back to normal now like before I touched her vagina. She was a headache.

Pre-med = traditional + classy + really smart + long-term goal-oriented + I have to take more charge with her

Hypebae (hypebeast + bae) = works in fashion + has a lot of guy friends + almost as witty as me + very tomboy-ish

Both girls' parents are still married for 20+ years. This is really a big factor with me.

I wanna dip my lumpia in both their banana ketchup, faxx

 

[tokes99]

...and our friendship is back to normal now like before I touched her vagina...

HAHAHA #impossible! but seriously it is not difficult to be cool with (unofficial) exes tough for it to be quite the same if you were cool beforehand tho kudos to y'all if you can actually pull that off...

i didn't know what a hype are was either...

 

[QU!K]

Hit up the hypebeast first, then follow up with the premed

No need to learn Tagalog. We all speak English. Tagalog is a dying language IMO.

Where you from?

If she drinks henn, She's a keeper.

Teaching you tagalog? For what benefit? 

I don't think it's necessary to learn tagalog...Unless there is a language barrier between you two.

Hypebae drinks Henny.

I'm in the process of learning a few new languages.

Since some homies are Filipino, I figured it'd be a nice addition.

 

[QU!K]

I don't want to be that guy

But Filipino girls have a steep drop off in their late 20s
