Sincere and true friends

I am glad to have found a sincere and true friends here. There are a few of them who are willing to pick me up and take me home anytime I want to attend a special gatherings. Oh!! it takes a lot of sacrifice to do that huh? But anyway, there is one who is really sincere in offering here service to pick me up and take me home. Wonderful!!! We always go together at least once or twice a week. I like her because she is really a good friend. She always help people.

This type of friend is rarely found in a busy society today. Most are very busy with their own thing and no time to help others but focus their time on themselves and their family. But this lady has it all. She has time for her family even if she is busy everyday helping people. She always has her phone with her, calling to her sons or husband while she is on her way to do errands for people. She never forgets to have constant communication with them. Can you imagine that?

I wish there are more people like her in our friends circle. She is really nice and worth to keep.
She is prayerful and get your nerve to be inspired in spite of the odds of life. I really treasure our friendship.

I'm glad I know you

How many times you heard that from a friend? Well, for me, I can just count it with my fingers. Yesterday while cleaning the house, I keep on thinking about a friend whom a just know for 2 months but I am really glad to know her. Why? well, since I know her, I already have a chance to go out from the house because she can drive while I am not yet driving. She will just pick me up when she wants to go somewhere and I love it because I have never been into that place before. When she needs a helping hand to do things in her house, she will just called me.. and it is a blessing for me because she will pay me.. hahaha.. Then one day she told me.. I'm glad I know you. I appreciate the help that you have done for me, it is such a blessing to know you.. Oh!!! Well, I feel the same. Since I know her, I was able to roam around places my hubby do not usually go.. you know? the girl thing? hahahah going around shopping, hopping from different stores to another? ouch, mu hubby do not like that kind of thing.. But when I have this friend of mine, I feel like I am free.. hahaha.. I can go anywhere. It is such a blessing to have a friend,, and the good thing is She is also a Filipina who have the same way of life with me when we were in the Philippines therefore we can relate to each other.

Friends who have good hearts

I'm just glad I have friends who have good hearts. Americans and Filipinos. when I first arrived here, It was fall... and few months will be winter time. My new American friends give me winter clothes, socks and all kinds of stuff. My hubby has no more problem of buying me things for the winter. Lol. My mom in law sent me package full of clothes,jackets and boots for winter use. Wow!! it is a nice feeling when people have concerned about you. I have no idea of what to prepare because it's my first time to experience winter time. There are times that I go out in my simple attire of just shirt- and pants then people would ask me, where's your jacket? I said, well, I did not bring one because when I left home the temperature is high. They said, I should always take jackets with me because it is winter time. No matter what the temp is, it is still cold. Oh !! wow I look funny with my shirt while other people are in thick jackets. I shivered hahaha.. and it's a lesson learned. Now, I always go out bringing extra coats all the time.

I am glad to have found Pinoy friends around. I feel comfortable with people in my race because we can relate to each other. Well, my Pinoy friends are already working and they are driving too. Well, it is in our culture that we will help each other. Since they were able now to come up with the standard of American living .. hahaha I should say, they also have plenty of stuff that they don't need. They keep on giving stuff to me. Oh!! I have a lot of things that I don't even need them. But I keep on accepting the things they will give... hahaha I end up collecting things
that I have no place to keep them . My goodness...Well, there are people in my country who need these. I will send it in balikbayan box and share these stuff to them. Relatives and friends who are waiting for blessings. It makes a difference when the tags says MADE in US. they will really treasure it. Lol.

Finding new Friends

Finding new friend is not that easy when you have no access to go anywhere. My only exposure is when I go to church and when I go to the super marker for grocery shopping. All the rest of my time is at home. I am confined in the 4 walls of our house. since I can not drive, I have no other option to be with people and make new friends except by using the phone. Well, I called my friends who are also a stay at home wife like me and ask them if they knew other Filipinos near me. Of course I am comfortable with people who have the same culture with me because we can easily relate to each other. I'm glad she did introduce me to other Filipinos she knows and I started to be alive. When I felt lonely I just dialed the phone and talk to them for an hour or 2. I'm so glad that one of them live close to my house and she can drive. hahaha.. then she will pick me up sometimes and we will go out to the malls and other thrift stores we Filipinos are fond of. The most exciting one is when we cook Filipino food in their house and eat as much as we can. It is a different thing when your friends are in the same culture. We are helping each other and sharing our bits of advice on how to survive in the foreign land.
