It is like more on gaining confidence and self worthiness. Will you help me cheering myself and knowing this place? If you learn something like job offer or something, I would really really be interested to try. I used to be working in a busy office environment in the Philippines and studying law at the same time. And now, when I came here, its like bare foot, clothes that wrap the body and no penny.

I do not complain of coming here and of the capacity of my husband. He has everything to give what I need...But it would be nice if i could able to earn soemthing and spend something from my own labor and sweat. If you know what I mean....please write me...thanks!


Worry not Liz, I think we all have gone thru that stage... Just be patient enough, soon you will be able to adjust in your new environment.

I, too went thru that stage (the boredom... the active life, the busybeebuzzing all the time, missed the independence, missing friends & families, the tsismis, the tambay sa kanto, the lasingero lol...) here it's more of a "Mon-Fri 9am-5pm job..." then the gloomy weather makes it more depressing!

You will soon love this country, just be patient & keep on trying... Who knows...

Maybe a chitchat with your husband will help you a lot... Tell him your concerns etc...

U on Spouse Visa? If yes, you are definitely allwed to work
