Coping Up!

I never thought that living in another country would be that hard for my 17 year old friend. They just migrated three months ago and until now she can’t cope up with the new environment. She’s always sending mails to me telling how tough it is for her to mingle with the people around their, because they really have different values compared to us Filipinos.

And so I wondered about the things that keep her busy especially now that she still doesn’t have friends to be with her. She told me few stuffs and I really felt her sadness. She’s always left alone in their house since her parents are working. Good thing that they have Direct TV subscription which she enjoyed the most while she’s watching at home.

Actually, her mom’s officemate introduced this DirectTV to them that’s why they were able to subscribe for it. As soon as they heard about it, they immediately checked on Directtv.com to know more about the application.

Aside from watching, my friend always visits the bookstore during her free time to buy new books for her to read. Honestly she really hates reading books while she was here at the Philippines that’s why I was a bit surprised when she told me that she already read a couple of books that she refused to read before. Oh well, I think that’s what boredom does. LOL!

Well, I just hope that sooner than later, she will be able to adapt her new environment. And I pray that she will be able to find new friends to have some company so she can enjoy her life there.
