Tired Frustrated Lonely

Energy is low from Manila; still recouping energy-wise. Somehow almost no one knows what happened so I have had to explain my story so many times >_<
"You lost so much weight" (about 10 pounds in one week)
"Wait, why aren't you going to China?"
"So, how was the Philippines?"

One step forward and two steps back happened so much today.
Computer progress met with more problems. (fixed the fuse in the power supply only to have trouble with the RAM, the heat sink on the CPU, four drivers, internet, and Windows itself so now I am again unable to even start the machine).
Was able to save money only to have to spend it somewhere else unexpected and am unable to buy anything unless I silicate the help of others.
Am able to communicate more with the people around me (very excited and very happy) yet am unable to communicate with either one of my bosses and took over 20 minutes to get 15 seconds of information (this has happened how many times?) So incredibly frustrating. Today I learned why so many English teachers say "forget it" and leave the country in the middle of the night.

Spent the best part of the last two weeks being utterly alone for almost the entire period. And now that I want to be alone to recoup I am being told I have a full schedule and no, I can't back out of it.

Wish to meet with friends but of course they are too busy to meet/talk.

And while traveling to/within the Philippines:
Cell phone is missing.
Old glasses were partially broken by students.
New glasses disappeared.
Toothbrush is gone.
Toothpaste was stolen who knows how many times.
Clean clothes drying either fell and were covered in dirt, tossed wet onto a dirty floor, or flat out disappeared.
Both towels for showering disappeared.
etc etc...

Unsure if I want to scream and break something or simply cry and fall asleep
