I remember reading your first post on this diary on the day you started it. Actually called the mrs over and told her about this incred guy starting from scratch and how impressive his attitude to life was. Really thrilled to see the progress you've made from that point to this. Happy Xmas to you and your family buddy, an inspiration to many.

I can't believe I've only just read this for the first time today. WOW.

your perseverance, determination and incredible spirit are truly amazing and it's fantastic that everything has turned around, but thoroughly, thoroughly deserved.

I hope in the near future you and your beautiful wife are living the life together you both want I'm rooting for you both so hard.

One for the good guys this. Merry Christmas

^^^^^^^ of what Lil Dave says

I've just read this start to finish - I'm not quite as eloquent as the previous poster, but just what an incredible read and a great story of the past three years. You're a pretty inspirational guy Mr Taxi, determined, focused and completely selfless in so many ways, and as Tikay said a few times, a phrase I love "proper bloke"

Wish I'd read it earlier, in my time with Compass I could have helped and would have given you a job in a heartbeat based on this diary alone - although I was one of those "dozy HR people" - after 15 years in that area I get what your saying - proper tea and tampax people. And regardless, you're the sort of guy that doesn't need job offers....they will just come - Law of Attraction and all that.

Have a fantastic first Christmas in the UK with your wife, and post more as I a, now hooked.

Wow, what a brilliant journey. It is one of the most uplifting things I have ever read.

It was like a film with the ending you yearn for.

Have a great Christmas sir.

Advent Calendar

Saturday 24th December 2011

So I made it into the blonde advent calendar and as I said in that thread I feel very honoured and humble to be included.

To anyone that is new to my thread I will give a brief history as to how it all came about.

In Sept 2006 I sold my business in the UK and went to the Philippines to pursue a personal interest/project I wished to undertake, if you have read through the thread you will know I am the type of person who acts on impulse not always thinking things through but tend to come through as I am not the type to give up and will generally find ways around obstacles.

At the time I had no intention of getting myself involved in any form of relationship but it quickly becomes evident that this is very difficult not to do as even someone like myself the Filipina girls find attractive ( yes generally because they think you have money and see a better life for themselves and their families).

I met Roxanne at the casino where she worked and like all the other dealers male & female she was very friendly, not just with me but the other players at the table also, but right from that very 1st time when I knew nothing about her I felt she was different in a nice way.

After having chatted with her a few times and she had shown a genuine interest in my project I asked her to have breakfast with me after her shift, she agreed so long as she could bring her friend (normal procedure), it was here we chatted some more and I explained fully my intentions and that at some point I would be returning to the UK with little/no money and this is where she showed her true self and in the following months that it wasn’t money that interested her it was ME.

The rest as they say is history and has been documented previously but honestly this thread wouldn’t have continued this far if it weren’t for Roxanne, I can honestly say hand on heart I love this girl to bits, and it’s my one remaining ambition to make her and her family’s lives safe and secure for the future and of course she is playing her part also.

We were chatting about Christmas the other day and being away from her family for the first time and she said “it’s just my dream to spend Christmas with you my special husband”…. A tear rolled down my cheek, she really is SO SPECIAL.
