Family Matters

finally i was able to talk to my sister! she's in chicago with my parents and brothers and it's been a long time since we talked. it was bittersweet coz it was really fun talking to her again. it makes me miss them more.

it was so funny coz we were talking about our experiences with our jobs......how it's really hard to deal with a different culture from where we grew up. i think she's also having a hard time coz she's paying off the plane fare my aunt spent for when they immigrated there. she gets $500 for two weeks which is not bad....but since she pays for what they owe my aunt, she's lucky if she can save $100 from her paycheck. i just wish i was already there so i can help and do my share with the expenses.

it's good though that my sister has her boyfriend by her side. by what she's telling me, i think the guy is decent and is kind to her. the guy is polish and my parents really like him.

sigh....i wish i'll find someone like that......then again both my maternal and paternal sides have old maids in their family......it's not far off that i become one
