Plain and Boring
I've been living in California for the past 6 years of my life. Life's been good ever since i moved here and started working on my very first job as an office clerk. It did very well for my first step here in America and getting green instead of brown money...Of course I'm very satisfied with my life with the amount of paycheck that i am getting. The things that i need and i want are easy and cheap to buy. I don't have to worry about my rent because my Aunt offered me to stay in her house for a little payment of $200 per month which is hell a cheap for a new Californian like me.

As times goes by, I encountered a lot of things, people from different places, I've learned so much about American culture, I experienced ups and downs. The only thing that i have noticed is that most people here don't have a permanent FRIEND. For the past 6 years of my life i never had a friend who'll call me buddy and sometimes during normal day he/she'll call you just to say "whats up?" . But i survived doing my life on my own. My college friends back from the country where i came from who moved to United States also are 1 or 2 state away from where i am right now. Its either, they 're too busy or they 're out with their friends. I realized that things are not the same as it used to be. People grow old, build their career, meet new friends and go on with their new life as times goes by.

My Sweetheart was also back in my homecountry. So, things that's going on with me during that time until now are too much. I dont think an ordinary couple can stand a long distance relationship like the way we do.

So this is why my mind isn't always here with me, It's like I'm going to be insaned. I am always thinking of going back to my country. Life is quite good over there. It is so simple and sometimes hard but I am happy with the people around me when I am there.
