In Search Of F-r-i-e-n-d-s...

The City of Angels a.k.a Los Angeles: and yet I do not know where to begin. Just like any other major cities with huge influx of human population, I would say Los Angeles embraces all its upbeat traits of what a city should have been and likewise its own downturns.

I relocated here in this world renowned city a month ago. So much of things to be caught up on and yet too little time since I have a full-time job in this small, hip boutique hotel in the heart of downtown. I am even going to miss my friend's birthday bash in San Diego on Saturday evening just for that excuse.

Are people here superficial? Or is it just me who can't keep it up? I do not know which is what. I have been here for a good old month well may be a few days more yet hardly do I find anyone who is yet to be called dear friends.

Like any other hotel jobs, I am at my most busy moments at times when more people take breaks from work and more holidays have been created. When it is a major relaxing time for them, it is somewhat a headache at work for me to provide the worthy service on whatever they have paid for.

So there and then I was just wondering, since I have been busy dealing with guests who come with their friends and along come with their second degree friends to their acquaintances till the list goes on and on; why on earth could I ever not get any single friend here?

If I were to give up easily on certain things in life, I wouldn't even be here in the first place for one thing. So it would only makes sense if I continue on the hopes of trying to expand my social cycle and getting to know more people seriously from all walks of life. And you know what? I'll tell you next time if it really works and I might be able to write something more about some new friends the next time. May optimism gives you way ahead in life. Cheers.
