My so-called life
Just called my best friend, En-en, tonight. While talking to him, I realized how isolated (and even lonely) my life is here in Chicago. Ever since Johnna left for Taiwan, I've kept to myself, pretty much. My only other friends are my roommate, who is busy working on her dissertation; several people in my department, who are as busy as I am with school and work; and my nun-friends. I told En-en I seem to have more contact/interaction with my online friends. Having a limited circle of friends is so unlike me. I had a wide range of friends in the Philippines. Then again, it's hard to find true friends in this country, especially when certain people just flake out on you and don't think you have any reason to get mad at them.No wonder I don't have a love life. And no wonder I tend to be more neurotic these days.

I can relate to this. Moving out of your home country, then feeling like starting all over again esp in building and finding friendship. I met some "friends" here but for some reason I think they're all in a bit of superficial level. *sigh*~ eLa @ sundrenched.blogdrive (bloghopping hehe)
Anonymous (Ela?): Yep! That's exactly what I'm going through here. Oh well. Glad to know I'm not alone. For a moment I thought it was just me being neurotic.
Take care!
