Well Mrs.JMajor... you have confused me a bit there? (jack,its mano po ,not mana po, mana-heirs (wink)) somehow your words seem to be the same, but hey, I am old and my eyesight is not as good as it used to be..hehehe.. Plus I'm in a bit of a tizz at this time..Just talked to my missus and she tells me she wants a.......little Girl.. now to go with Junior..when we get together......Oh my Goodness, when will this ever end??? I just want some peace and quiet now in my life..Ahh well. Duty will be calling me again later.....And I hope no-one thinks I enjoy this....hehehehe (just wish I was not so Gwapo at times)

Thanks for the tips everyone.

My mother must've been the Filipino version of Emily Post so I doubt if I'd be talking through a meal or cleaning my teeth at the dinner table. But thanks for the reminder!

What do I call his parents when I first meet them? I feel rather rude to call them by their first names, but too assuming to call them Mum and Dad. Any suggestions?

"Hello Mr. and Mrs X" until they say "Don't be so formal, call me "Mum" etc.
