Cool story. I met my wife at a bar in Singapore as a young Marine during the Vietnam War. And we've been married 50 years.

A really fun video to watch. I have to check out that bar when back in the Philippines. So many times she starts to talk, but you step on her and she stops. It is cool to hear her thoughts too. Happy Trails

@airbubba 4 жыл бұрын

Ned you know that your public "gushing" means that you are hooked, Treble Hooked, like a largemouth Bass in a fishing tournament. I was the same way as you are now when I met my Asawa twenty four years ago. Don't "throw" the hook, slide safely into the net and be each other's trophy catch. You got a keeper (as well as does Chichay). Hope the future goes as well for you as it did for me when I was in your boat.

Hi Ned her genuineness and find character come across right away and it's only right for her and you to make sure to the best of both of your ability of the genuineness and character and intentions of the person your both interested in before getting to emotionally involved . wishing the both of you a very happy outcome.i only know you Ned from watching your videos with my wife for the past 4 years but you come across as a pretty good guy who's still searching for something special and trying to chronicle and live a decent life in the process and is not afraid to criticize yourself or laugh at yourself which is a good quality in my book . your also a progressive liberal socialist LOL That in of itself is very rare here in a ex Pat

@zacan-rj3mc 4 жыл бұрын

I think it's brave to share your story, it is a very nice story and Chichay is clearly a smart, sensible and talented young woman and it is clear that you, Ned, have a good heart which is the number one prerequisite for most genuine Filipina's; I feared that when I looked at the comments there would be cynics and haters but so far I see none. I wish you both happiness :)

Cool story. Love to share mine about my bukid girl and our amazing story. I believe God brought us together. It is a crazy story but it would bring hope and the belief that we all have a chance at love; even though I doubted I could have such a love in my life. Elle and I have a really incredible story that could make un belivers believers. I was blessed.

Hey Ned - Lots of good things in this video, but 2 of special note. 1 You are clearly in Love 2 You have dropped the intro of the N to the z blah blah, or whatever it was. If that is her influence, I like her even more. Good Luck to you both!! I have my own very special Philipino partner and she has reshaped my world in so many good ways.
