late bloomer

I've always considered myself as a home body.

When I was a kid until high school, I'd usually spend my time away from school at home. There were just some instances during high school when my social life was a bit healthier, but I still couldn't go out often enough since my parents wouldn't allow me some times, or I wouldn't want to bother my dad to drive me wherever.

College, it was alright. I went out sometimes with friends. But sometimes I was actually craving for a night at the bar or something that was different.

In Singapore, I had a few chances. Since the public transport system was very reliable, I was able to go out some. But then there wasn't a group of people I really wanted to hang out with. (maybe I found some, but they didn't feel the same way haha) And it didn't help that going out in Singapore was expensive -- the food, the drinks, the taxi ride back. Since I was in OFW mode then, I just stayed in most of the time.

But what a change it has been since I started to drive. There's some more freedom. A bit costly to go out often, but at least I have more chances now, and more freedom to decide if I want to go out or not. I've been meeting some new people -- and I know most of them aren't lifelong friend material. But I'll just enjoy it. I'm single and young (don't argue!) so there's no reason to stay home all the time. :)
