    maybe it's time for a new hobby... learn a new skill... find a new friend...

    "Nakakalungkot" is subjective, in my opinion...
    And it's always be there...especially if you decided to move to a new country..

    Mahirap na mahanap ang mga bagay na nakagawian na.. especially with our own definition of "happiness"..

    Reply to @welfred0518: Baka kelangan lang i-approach mo? Nakakalito din minsan i-dentify mga Pinoy if di mo marinig silang magsalita ng Tagalog kasi yung ibang lahi kamukha din natin like Malaysian, Indonesian, Thai. Siguro unahan mo na lang ng bati if alam mo ng Pinoy.

    @aldousnow: actually, that could be true too. like anyone who feels being snobbed, others could feel the same way too. pakiramdaman lang ang laro. sabagay, some indonesians or malay for that matter look like pinoys. better if u feel like one is a pinoy, ask in english. anyway, if he/she is an indonesian or say, a thai, he/she can understand what u just said. kung pinoy sya, sasagot sya ng tagalog, kamusta, ano balita, kabayan?

    Ok din yung style ng isang Pinoy na nakasalubong ko sa train station, siguro to try if Pinoy ako pinansin nya nyung boots ko, so ako naman napalingon. hehehe Pero sana ngumiti si ate kasi naghanap ako kung sino yung nagsalita then hindi naman nakangiti yung nakita kong babae na mukhang Pinoy.

    may kilala akong pinoy. nung nagpunta sya ng london madalas nya suot ung poloshirt ng SM kultura na may drawing ng jeepney natin & written pilipinas. gawin kaya lahat ng bagong pinoy sa AU yan, ewan ko naman kung di pa kayo maka buo ng grupo. :-))

    hehehe! ang problema lang sa kilala ko; sa NAIA immig, nagduda, tinitigan at tinanong kung hindi ba raw sya koreano. sa HK airport napagkamalan naman syang chinese. hinanap pa ung chinese passport kasi baka dual citizen daw sya. ahhh eto na, sa london napagkamalan syang japanese. bingo! duon lang tumama...may nihon blood talaga sya. nakakatuwa lang ang kwento. :-D

    Hindi nakakalungkot sa Sydney. You can go to any bar. Being alone is the best time to experiment and explore. Nakakalungkot sa Pinas kasi puro crimes. Pumunta or pupunta ka na nga sa ibang bansa pinoy pa hahanapin mo. No offense, but I guees its part of adjusting na makimingle ka sa caucasians and they are very friendly. Harmless sila unless naging intimate ka dahil liberated sila.

    Once in Sydney chill lang. Grab your coat and go to any bar.
