Help on Filipino parents?

My boyfriend is pinoy. Two full blooded Filipino parents. I'm a half Thai half Norwegian girl. In other words, Eurasian. I need help? Him and I have been together awhile, and I just need help on wooing his parents. What should I do to make them like me? How to Filipino parents act? I know his house is noisy a lot, haha. He says his dad is strict and his mom has seen photos of me as has his whole family. His grandma says I'm beautiful so does his mom. His aunty wants him with a full Asian girl -.- his two girl cousins who baby him say I'm ugly. But otherwise his other family who have seen photos f me say I'm pretty. But what must I do to make them like me? Generally I'm shy and laugh a lot.

    I'm a Pinoy guy. Uhm, I think your shyness is a good thing because shyness is somewhat associated with conservativeness and Filipinos are conservative people. You laugh a lot is an asset too because Filipinos generally are happy people, maybe that's one of the reason your bf's house is noisy. Don't worry much about his relatives judging your appearance, Eurasian-looking half-breeds are among the most popular actors in the Philippines. My suggestion is just be yourself and be respectful to his parents but at the same time don't be shy to talk to them and tell them some stories of yours, you're a nice and happy girl and I bet you can make them happy, for sure.

    Get to know their culture .Tell your boyfriend to invite you over for dinner or something.
