    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.

    baka naman naghihintayan lang kayo kung sino una mag approach. minsan kasi akala natin snob.. yun pala iniisip nila tayo din snob. nagkakahiyaan lang pala.

    @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?

    ako strategy.. pag sa bus or train may nakatabi ko mukhang pinoy.. hinaharap ko yung bag ko na may logo ng Adamson University. tapos lage ko kasi pinapakinggan na mp3 e panay eraserheads.. kunwari matatanggal yung earphone.. so magiging loud speaker. pag napatingin at napangiti ayun.. kakakumstahin ko na. hahahaha. :D

    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.
