Dianne a Filipina Consultant and Author for Happier Abroad?
Posted: April 15th, 2011, 5:01 am
Rock talked to Dianne for a couple of hours last night, and the night before as well, in our hotel restaurant during our mini-getaway. He got a good impression from her and learned a lot, and recommends that Dianne become a phone consultant on Happier Abroad for Filipina issues.
What do you all think?
The thing is, Dianne has become more like me in developing a passion for spreading truth regardless of what others think, per my example. She told me last night that she has heard many dirty and terrible things that Filipinas say behind the backs of their foreigners and husbands, and feels pity for the deceived foreigners. So she feels that she wants to write a book to reveal the ways and thoughts of the Filipinas that foreigners become involved with, and what's beneath their gentle sweet exterior. I think that would be a great idea. But she worries that other Filipinas, if they found out about it, would be angry about it and feel that she is betraying them by exposing their "secrets" that they all know about but are never supposed to reveal to foreigners.
In fact, Dianne even told me what some of my expat friend's Filipina partners have confided in her regarding their true feelings about their boyfriends. She has a sly way of finding out a Filipina's true feelings by dissing me in front of them in tagalog, which in turn causes them to open up their "can of worms" to her and reveal their true feelings towards their partner to her too. (Should I tell my expat friends the bad news about what their Filipina partners really think of them?)
So I guess the potential is there for her to do some "psychological profiling" of Filipinas for people too, by meeting them?
The only downside is Dianne's English. She can't speak professional articulate English, only slow simple basic English. But she is understandable as long as you slow down and use the simplest phrases and questions. Rock was able to understand most of what she said.
So what do you think? Should I enlist Dianne has a Filipina consultant and add her to the consultation page or create one of her own?

I could have her do phone consultation for low rates as a start, so people won't complain as much if they don't understand her. Or I could do a double consultation with her in that I'd be there to explain the consultee's questions to Dianne if she doesn't fully understand them, at least until her speaking skills get better, or help explain what Dianne is trying to say if the guy doesn't understand her. What do you think?
It'd be a great way for her to earn some money and help people too. I think that as long as she has the intent and desire to do this, it could work. Rock saw potential in such a venture too, as he talked to Dianne for a couple hours, both last night and the night before.
The amazing thing is that Dianne told me that before, in the past, she didn't care about the "truth" so much. But after seeing me fight for it above all else, she feels motivated to do the same, in her own way, by revealing how Filipinas deceive foreigners and how to find out their real intentions. So in that sense, she is beginning to have a sort of "awakening".
Also, if she were to try to write a book, I could call it something like "Inside Secrets of Filipinas: Truths beneath her sweet gentle exterior that they never tell you" or something like that. I could have her write the book by dictation, in that she can verbally dictate the content while I record it and type it out, edit and organize it. What do you think?
