hi shane23, the best thing you can do to get rid of that boredom is to simply socialize. if you are  a bit aloof with other nationalities, join clubs and gatherings of our fellow filipinos, or these wonderful filipino QLers here. That will give you some difference. you may also go to the bars, but not alone of course, as people might think wrong of you :). you wont like that unwanted attention  you'll get;).
