"Life is what we make it"

Milk is color white it symbolize peace and no worries. Honey is sweet it means no bitterness and always happy. Some people think that living abroad is like Milk and Honey. What a terrible mentality! The only thing they know is how much the value of money and how beautiful is the place. There's no difference between living abroad or not. You have Dollars and Euro's, but you have to pay everything in the same money. "Life is what we make it" We are responsible for our own life. It's up to us to make our life be peaceful, no worries and to be happy.

Our own swimming pool

Summer is here in Netherlands and everybody  enjoying  it. This time is one of the warmest summer here. Since we've been in the Philippines lately, we don't have vacation anymore. We bought zwembad (swimming pool) not so big, but it can  freshen up. Bert me and Michelle had so much fun we did barbecue and it's like a vacation outside our  house.  What a nice feeling to relax.

Rest In Peace Father

Finally, I am able to open my blog and update it. I was busy this passed months like doing our garden, a lot of homework at school and Bert got operated. One day my sister phoned me with a very low voice. I knew that something bad happened. She told me that our father died. I was shocked. That moment, only Bert gave me comfort. I cried because we were planning to have vacation in the Philippines and give something for my father on his birthday. That will not happen anymore now that he's gone forever. We went to the Philippines not for vacation. It was not a good time and only one week. My grandmother is living with my father and she is 85 years old. We cannot show our emotion because if we will cry, she will cry as well. My brother said  that my father bothered a lot of pain even before. Even though we cannot see him anymore and that is so sad for us, but in other hand he finally rested.

We love you tatay..

My official day at school

I'm happy that I have this opportunity to learn the dutch language. I met my classmates came out from other countries like Romania, Poland, Africa, Czech Republic, India and China. I felt out of place at first  because I'm the only one new in the class. Some four months, six months and others were almost ready to do the exam. I can speak dutch, but just a little bit. My teacher Sophie was so good she let me feel at home. She gave me some books that I could read and try to answer. I'm at peace and calm now that I started my schooling at last.
