You have to take the initive and get out there and find something to do! People are not going to come knocking on the door asking you to join them. Find an activity you like to do and join the fun.

i had the same experience when i first got here in the US. and yes, it's nothing like in the Philippines. almost anywhere are your friends. here, not even close. and yet you have the ability to have friends. as anyone would advice you, it's just about getting use to it. and it depends on the person too. some it takes a long time. some just a few days or weeks.just hang in there. you are one of the lucky ones to be here in the US. and a lot are still hoping to get here. you'll just have to find something that will keep you busy just to get the boredom out of your mind. it's hard but try it anyways. take care.

It's normal & natural to be homesick. I went from the US to Korea (for a year) the day after my 19th birthday, so I know what you're going through. I was so sad and bored until it was time to come home, then I wanted to stay. You'll probably make some friends and start to have some fun soon, but you'll have to come out of your shell and meet people and let things happen. If you're always locked away inside and feeling sorry and sad, no one will want to be around you. It will all happen in time.

you can never be happy if your alone my dear!!!
unless, you are a religious and can live like in a monastery.hehehe
we need someone to be with because it is our basic nature, needs and aspiration to be in loving fellowship with another person.
LA is not Philippines (obviously!hehehe). di gaya dito sa pinas na napakafrendly ng mga tao, even di ka nga kilala, kinakausap ka, right? But since you are there in LA, you have to do the first move to know people there. wag kna mahiya hiya, wla ka sa pinas noh!!hehehe
4 months kpa lang pla jan so you are still in the process of adjustment...just love your work or learn to love your work.ok? Have a great day my dear!

no wonder.. you've been there for only 4months so homesickness might still linger..no more familiar faces..no more public jeeps, pedicabs, tricycles...nobody shouts 'taho'! outside in the morning and 'balut!' at night..try switching to the filipino channel,you may catch 'eat bulaga' or other all-time favorite pinoy shows...have a collection of comedy movies..do a lot of chatting on the net w/ ol' friends back home,it doesn't have to be a bf, an x-bf..enjoy the view there, every country has its unique beauty,take pictures of them and send them back to your loved ones, it'll make ur mama proud and might spread those pictures all over town...like any kind of hurting,sadness, sorrow or just simply feeling low, it disappears after some time...saying a prayer before bedtime is like a sigh of relief. it worked for me, hope it does for you. take care of yourself now.

Join a group of some sort. Get involved in a new activity. The gym? Maybe a class? LA has lots of different activites.
Maybe start looking for a new job too! good luck!

...to be really happy being alone, first think about how you might be able to help your family by working there...knowing that you are doing a sacrifice to make others more happy and comfortable would make you feel easier...from here, think of ways to make use of your spare time wisely, since these are probably the times you feel most alone...have a hobby...go out...make friends...and enjoy...live life as if you have all the sunshine in the whole wide world...and importantly....SMILE!

Sorry but you can't. Humans are social creatures by nature, they need interaction. That is even more so with women than with me. You need to go out and make friends, that will change everything for the better.
I know how you feel, LA can be a tough place to live. You can always talk to me if you want.
