Wow its been 5 days already and still having a hard time adjusting to the new time zone hopefully by the end of the week I would be fully adjusted and my body clock would be back to normal.
There are so many things that I need to get use to and definitely life here is different from what I had in the Philippines.
People here can definitely just stay home and do nothing. I mean they really just go out if they have some errands or things to do. I am not used to that but I am getting the hang of it (thank god for internet, tv and studies) its just that back there in Manila if I wanted to go out I could just walk out of the door easily or go with my parents. The places here are kind of far from each other so you cannot just walk around to go to the nearest malls, stores or shop.
People here are super friendly. You smile they smile back. They greet you and well of course you greet back. In stores and shops they are happy to assist you with whatever you need. Still need some practice on this aspect I am pretty shy so I need to be more outgoing and well gain confidence. But I like it that people are courteous.
You tell what you want or else you won't get what you need. Being sensitive here won't work so you have to be a little straightforward but not disrespectful. If you don't want something just say NO rather than saying I am not sure or I don't know.
I really miss my parents back home its just that their very warm and I am so used to receiving hugs and kisses all the time from them. Unlike here I barely get it and more often than not I have no one to talk to. So this blog becomes my form of release to whatever is on my mind.
Its hard adjusting to something like this but I have to take it all in since this is the life that I want for myself and for my family. I have to do these little sacrifices and then hopefully... eventually I can reap the fruits of my labor.
If there is one thing I realized in my few days of stay here if you work hard enough you can get what you want. This goes for material and other aspects of life. America offers every opportunity needed its such a nice place its a matter of persevering and doing your best and after that everything else just follows...
