What's with the "whatever" attitude in PH?

They have a phrase for it which I won't put here coz the mods like to delete any tagalog words.

"Whatever happens, happens"; "things will turn out ok"; "I'll manage it".

I don't get it; my lady friend had a really high electric bill for May. Couldn't pay it in full. Ok, I helped her. She has her younger sister living with her now, the sister just had a baby 2 months ago; of course the guy that knocked her up nowhere to be found. So. Two adults, two teenagers and a 2-month old. The sister's cell phone broke. So what does she do, she buys her sister a new phone; a cheapie like 6000 peso. Still, the 6000 could have been used for food, water, essentials. Yeah, I don't get it...

Would this woman's (35) heart ever be open to someone again?

I used Google translate so not 100% sure if this is accurate.

I know there is still fear—the weariness of being given promises only to be left all alone. I took a chance once; I loved and got hurt, and my heart—-which was once let go—-has learned its lesson.

How far in advance do you book your flights - To/From USA-PH

I'm looking at flights to PH in October and China Air is indicating a few seats left. It's a basic business seat with a decent price but I typically don't book four months out, I mean anything can happen. No refund, no cancel on that particular ticket.

What's been your experience with LDRs?

Mine:

LDR #1 was an OFW I met in Hong Kong who could never seem to give up the OFW life.

LDR #2 was a single mom with an ex-husband that was still kind of in the picture. Very sweet lady but that ex- wanted access to his son. I was strongly advised to let it go.

#3 After laying off for a few years I just met someone via FB about three weeks ago. So far just a lot of sweet words but she seems very open to me. She's 36 and a single mom with two teenage kids. Told me she never married. Dude split like 14 or 15 years ago. She works overnight shift for 12 hours. One thing bothers me is she always sends me a video chat request when she's on break, and it's her eating with her co-workers. It's very noisy; she can't hear me, I can't hear her and then after 10 minutes or so she just cuts off the call with no warning. Not sure what to make of that. Uh, to be honest I find it kind of rude. We have an age difference as well. More so than the previous two girls.

Another thing kind of bothers me, on her FB she has pictures of herself with an older man (looks a lot older than me even). Not that I snoop around but it's one of the first things you see when you visit her page. I know he is American; the photos include part of his handle and I can see a first name and the state he's (likely) from. Words on the pic (from her): I love you, I miss you more than the distance between us. Like, if you're looking to meet someone new, not sure why you'd leave that stuff hanging around? Anyway. Haven't really broached the subject with her and not sure if I should. It's from well over a year ago. Also what came before me is none of my business. Somehow get the feeling my insecurities might get the better of me but damn I like her, I really like her.
