    After the newlywed stage goes away, its hard. But it gets easier with time specially once you get your employment authorization and a drivers license. I enrrolled into a gym and started meeting friends here and there. Once I got a job I felt like I had a life again...now I'm very busy with a baby, a full time job and persuing my masters degree on top of my marriage. It makes miss my old days doing nothibg

    When I first got here I was participating in family parties and volunteering to help out in school for my nieces and nephews. Now that I am working, I am learning a new language like Japanese. With great internet and platforms like youtube, it's easy to find free stuff online. It can help enhance your skill set and could later on be beneficial financially if your hobbies generate income like cooking or crafts. Try to find stuff that you used to do in the Philippines. There is bound to be a version of such here in the US. That way it won't feel like a chore also.??☃☃☔☔

    I will really ask about volunteering in d military base bear me...and maybe try to walk the dog here in the neighborhood

    When Chinook arrived in the U.S., she stayed busy studying for the NCLEX-RN and learning how to drive. Also, at every opportunity, we explored the local area so that Chinook could learn her way around. She enjoyed walking around our neighborhood and taking the bus downtown. She did volunteer work at a hospital until she got her first job.

    If you have a local Filipino community center, you can meet kababayan there, and also volunteer. Church is another good place to meet kababayan. It's never too early to start networking to find a job.

    Thank you Tahoma...Im kinda reading about driving...I think im going to ask if they have a volunteer work at base...

    Thank you so much for taking time to reply...Maybe I'm just really adjusting and used to being workaholic before but I cannot work unless the work permit will benon hand :)

    Get involved in the local Filipino community. You can start by doing a Google search. Also consider going to local Filipino restaurants and markets. You are certain to meet others from the Philippines, and build a community network of acquaintances / friends from there. The more people you meet, the more opportunities become available (lunch dates / shopping / day trips / jobs). You might also consider volunteering at a local charity on occasion. The most important thing to consider (if you are having difficulty adjusting) is to GET INVOLVED. There are plenty of Filipino clubs, events and resources near you. It is very important that you keep close to your roots. The Filipino community will help you adjust to your new life here while making you feel like you still have a little piece of home with you. You will have people to share stories with and speak in your native language with.

    If you prefer to stay at home, consider taking up a hobby (crafts / design / painting / music / gardening). You can also take classes online and work toward a certification or degree. Many classes are free. You just have to research. COURSERA offers FREE computer classes in many areas of study. If you are a reader, go to the local library for thousands of free books and other great resources. Maybe join a health club and start a regular exercise routine. Many local clubs offer classes in yoga, exercise, aerobics and more,

    Finally, if all else fails, you can submerse yourself in Netflix.
