I'm missing my friends and family. I'm here abroad to earn money. In part times I use mylot to earn some extra money. I want to make my mom dad proud. I feel life is a mysery because only 2 hours a day I'm idle. Can anyone give me suggestions what I should do in the spare time? I'll be thankful.

change takes you from where you are to where you want to go...do change accordingly. Always be positive, everything is possible...dont ever give up. And for earnings do craigslist postings it is a good money generator...my best wishes

You're just homesick. Try to revert your attention to something else. Make some new friends out there. You're in a different place so why not start a different life? You can mold yourself into whatever you can think of there.

Making new friends is easy but making good friends is toughest, do u have any tips on how to make good life-long lasting friends? Yes, I want to start a different life but this life should bring positive result out of me but not the negativity. Any suggestion?

I want to make my mom dad proud.this is very touching. Your parents should be very proud of you. You seems to be a hardworking person. I only wish I have a son like you.

Why not try to go out and have some fun, so that you won't miss your family and friends that much. Get to know other people, watch a movie, go to the mall...etc.

Ya but I've already too much friend, I've been through so many friends I can't count but they are my colleagues and we enjoy our work in the company and pass the break times together in cafeteria. But I want to do something in my spare time that can benefit others.

Don't push yourself to hard for making your parent proud. We're human have some limit, so stop making other proud and be yourself. There a lot things to do to make your parent proud, not only earning a lot of money.

hmmm maybe you have a point but the thing is still there, what are the other ways? I hope you've heard of this that if you're determined to do something in your life, take the first step most carefully because that step bring you either closer or away from your goal. I'm being myself that is why I'm here in mylot with this question :)

You know, friend. There is no one will help you but yourself. Even if we suggest good things here but you did not take it to follow it's useless. Even if there is no one will suggest you to do this and try this...You can change your life. It's up to you and it's in your hand all the ways to make you change and your father and mother will be proud of you... The best advice is from your parents. Because there is no parents that want there children being ruin their lives...

Oh dear, very stressful for you alone to earn a living. Well for 2 hours, I don't think you can do much except washing car for someone else... The best thing is while making money, how about that? Fully automated...I like it. Happy Mylotting.

As far as I am concerned, I think there are a lot of things that you can do with your spare time. First, I think you can enjoy your hobby there. For me, I like to play with the computer, then most of my time is on line. If you like to play basketball, then you can go to the playground to enjoy your life there. If you have nothing to do, then you can create a friendship of your own there.Wish you cann enjoy a good life abroad.

This has to be very difficult and hard to deal with. I would suggest you venture out a bit and try and meet new people. Site seeing, movie theaters and libraries are nice places to meet people. Skype and or IM people back home and this will use up the time as well as give you great joy.

THere has got to be some sacrifices in life. It's either u concentrate on making more money at the expense of family time or vice versa. It's hard to balance the two. Just like me, i'm spending about 16 hours working everyday, while rest of my time are either use for sleeping or wiht my bf and family members. I rarely get time for myself because i have no choice. However all these are only temporary and i know it. Maybe u can make little adjustments in your life by planning some activities which allows u to interact more with your friends and also have fun, stretch your 2 hours.
