Hello..

As part of my effort to ease my wife's transition… and her very serious issues with boredom and homesickness, I am looking for others in the Sacramento CA. area that are also from the Philippines and have gone through this process. Chat friends, bowling buddies, phone pals, etc. I find it has actually been HARD to find friends for her…I never thought about just how hard it is to go out and meet folks when you do not know anyone.

/pm me if in the Sacramento area… and need some more information.

Sorry to hear she's been having a tough transition. I'm from the east coast and have a few Filipino friends and family in Cali. However I don't have any in Sacramento.

I don't know if this will lead anywhere but it couldn't hurt to check it out...

Filipino Community of Sacramento

Good luck!

I suggest subscribing to TFC (The Filipino Channel) http://www.abs-cbni.com/programming/tfc/index.html This will help her to feel like she never left the Philippines if she watch Filipino TV programs. Try to connect also with Fil-AM Associations in your area. I'm sure there is one near you.

Awww. That's really sad. I believe you should bring out to the park, carnival, beach, six flags, restaurants, etc...everyday. Bring her outside everyday. Let her assimilate the surroundings quietly. This will probably give her relief. And, I know Sacramento has places to go. Have her goto Pier 31, I think that's what it's called in San Fransisco. Oh, she'll have fun in Chinatown. There's the Cambodian's New Year coming up. Bring her out to celebrate Cambodian's New Year in Sacramento. I'm sure there's a community that celebrates it publicly as well a Bon Oum Tuk which is another event.

I think that would be a suggestion to make her feel more comfortable. In the USA, we work more then we spend time with our families. She's probably feeling that type of characteristic. You have to try.
