My brother is a retard....

WTF...

I once threw our computer chair towards my brother when he refused to let me use the pc for me to play my online game and I'd be more than willing to throw the computer table too if my brother does the same thing yours is doing.

I am not against getting married because of being in love with each other. What I am against though is marrying without any plan. Practicality plays a vital role for one to thrive in a very demanding and difficult world we call reality. If he can't even help himself get a job for his sake, how much more when he's got mouths to feed by then?

I know how painful and heavy it is in your heart to have such a brother, especially when there's really nothing you can do about it since he won't even listen to you. It does not feel good at all watching him make a huge mistake while you just stand at the sideline just watching him.

I hope he'll change his mind. I really do.

bitaw, i really hope he will change his mind...all i can do is watch him crash and burn...i know if he gets married he will fail because he is not mature and he is financially incapable of supporting himself coz he has no job...how on earth can he support his wife? he can't rely on my mom all the time.

Unswa!!! 100k pangayoon personally sa parents sa bride to be?

In getting married, actually, basing sa ako mga close friends and relatives, 100k is a decent amount for marriage expenses. If imo e total tanan, from the wedding rings, clothes, costumes/entourage, etc..., it would total jud to around 100k. Trust me kay best man ko sa ako amigo, I helped him budget his wedding.

If ang purpose sa bride's family kay para gasto sa kasal, then wala nay other expenses imo brother, I think 100k is just ok. But 7 lechon? Ka daghan ba ana?

Pero if ang full amount kay adto ra sa parents as pocket money... Nah! Unsa na ilang anak? Malibang ug gold, mangihi ug gasolina?

LOL...dako ra kaayo na ang P100,000 esp. karong panahon nga naay global economic crisis....wa ko sure para unsa jud ang 100K...mangutana ko sa akong mom...7 lechon is pakaon for the whole barangay / town.... i don't know why the girl's parents asked for that amount .... from what i know, the girl was a virgin and my brother was the first ... maybe it's for that? hehehe it's outrageous!

lingawa ani oi

[AntitaniC]

I'm looking forward to the wedding.......

It's like watching Mission Impossible THE WEDDING......

my advice? give him a luxury tour at Pasil.....

Let him see those married couples carrying babies while feeding LUGAW (rice porridge) to the other 4 little children..

Your brother is not a retard... (retards are inborn..) he's just probably within the scale of Stupidity.... Or Idiocy..

He doesn't know the consequences yet....

[annerhexian]

let him experience reality and before he can experience the so called reality.. take antitanic advice..


good luck.. marriage is SUICIDE whew

@TS

We cannot blame the girl's family if that is their tradition. So, your bro has to pay 100k and 7 lechon because their daughter is a virgin..

If ing ani palang ato tradition jud as a Filipino, maninguha ko nga ten or more ako babae nga anak, para naa koy 1 million sa panahon mo retire nako... Then para ma encourage sila to stay virgin, naay PROFIT SHARING..

Bitaw TS, wala man ko lain ma advice nimo... if your bro really wants to marry the girl, and he is lazy and just depend on your parents to pay for his bride, then mao na jud na ang imminent nga mahitabo.

Ask ko, pa apilon ka ug amot sa 100k + lechon?

[jangska]

iyaha sad na bai wa kay mabuhat...

bisan pa siguro dli pa apilon sa amot. the fact nga ang igsoon walay usa ka dako. unya mangayo 100k ug 7 ka lechon kay mag minyo na. ka maau gyung lamparuhon! pag tsure oi dodong....

yes, i can't blame the girl's family but that tradition is bullsh*t!.
naa na intawn ta sa computer age nya kana nga tradition sa panahon pa na sa stone age.

[rAiNe_]

7 ka lechon para pakaon sa barangay..pagka naman lang jud..
kuyawag tradition nila ui..igo man sad mapurdoy ang lalaki ana..
nya if mag minyo cla, sure kaha mo nga mo stop na ug pangayo ang sa babae nga side..

what if inig minyo, makaanak, basin naa cla tradisyon na inig bunyag need na pud ug 100k ad another 7 lechon..
nah ug akoy laki ana inyo nalang na inyong anak ui.. asa man tawn kog ana nga kantidad..

[Scott Bernard]

Stone age jud ang tradition... Practicality wise, what will I gain if I pay 100k and 7 lechon for marrying a certain girl? What is the difference if I marry a salesgirl who is cute and has also a capacity in becoming a good wife?

Of course, if the 100k is for the reception, entourage, wedding rings, ++, if I have the money, I am willing to spend it for the wedding, not for giving it to a girl's family.
