Alone and Away from Home..

Well, maybe you can also make some new friends; that will help you fill in your days..

Yes carmela. That is actually what I'm doing as much as possible gain new friends. Yeah I felt fine already but there were still moments that I feel sentimental. But little by little I'm starting to get a hold of it. I'm not very much familiar with the place as well so I take some walk or tour around the place whenever I have nothing to do. It's a good thing that the weather is fine again that I can go out and find something to keep me busy. [em]happy[/]

Yes carmela. Actually I've already slept a lot this weekend that I can't sleep anymore. I was really excited before when I wasn't yet here or haven't yet started with this job because I'm thinking the way you do. I thought that time that it would be great if I will be on my own but I didn't realized or imagined that it was really difficult being away from your family especially if you're not used to doing chores. Before, I just wait for the food to be served on the table; when I wake up my clothes are already ironed; I don't also have to do the laundry. Everything becomes different now but I just put in my mind that it's better for me to learn on my own because I won't be a kid/child forever. I won't achive anything just by staying at home and doing nothing. Sometimes, we also need to sacrifice. I guess I just needed to express it out. I'll feel better soon especially tomorrow because we'll be back from work.

Well, it's not actually easy to do it to write legibly just on the phone but I've already started to get used to it. I've been feeling better and better now as time goes by. As I've said that I guess I just need some time to adjust with my current work and place. I've been doing well also with my new work, and I'm happy and motivated as well to overcome it. Thank you.

Well, I wish I had a television here so that I have some options. It's just the internet that I have on my cellphone at the moment to spend the time. I guess I just felt homesick because I also missed the things that I normally do before and I'm not used to being bored as well because I always find something to work with at home. I don't also want to sleep a lot because I'll get fat as I'm already getting big. I'm already getting used to it. I just need to adjust with my new environment.

I have actually a great admiration to those who work overseas. It's really a sacrifice for them because I know how difficult it is to be far from home since I have an aunt who also works overseas. Yes you are also right that this will soon pass. We just have to be strong. I believe that this experience will also be good for me because I know I'll learn many things in life when you're living independently. I felt fine already. Thank you all for encouraging me.

Yeah maybe I should stop thinking too much right now. I've slept a lot already that it's difficult for me to sleep now. I guess you're still a student, right? Maybe in the future you'll work far from your family as well. I guess I'll be fine again especially tomorrow because I'll be back working again. It could be that I'm not used to it because this is the first time I've been away from home this long and could be longer. Well, thank you for your concerns. I do appreciate it a lot. Have a nice day as well.

Seems that you've already gotten used to it, right? I did listening to music of the time but I felt really bored. Atleast I feel okay now because I got people to talk with here in myLot. I really wanted to test my independency as you have said. I just have to withstand this and I believe that I'll get used to it soon. Thank you for sharing. I hope I can be like you being independent already. I'll be fine since I'll be back to work tomorrow. :-)

Yeah I can see that I have a better situation than yours. I think it's even more difficult when you have a different environment and different culture around you. Atleast I'm still within the country and still have the chance to go out with friends. Don't you have friends in your place that you can have a chat with or hang out with? Maybe we should get in touch more with our co-workers so that we'll have more friends to spend time with. I hope we'll both be able to battle this. Have a nice day.

Oh I can't imagine being in your situation. As you've said, it's really horrible. I don't know how I will be able to withstand that. How long have you been with your job already? I guess if I were in your case I won't last a month with a boring job. Why did you find it a boring job? I don't know if you have prepared for that because you might have not accepted that job knowing it was that way. Well I just keep in mind that I'm not a kid/child anymore so I must learn how to be independent. I just hope that I'll get used to it soon. Good thing is that I love my job and I enjoy it. I guess you should also start loving your job so that you'll be able to enjoy it as well. It's better to get well with your co-workers so that you'll have someone to hang out with. I hope you'll be fine as well.
