Hate and Love
Why did people hated someone? Basically if that someone did something wrong on him/ her. If that person got jealous about what the other has more than what they've got. There's saying same feather pluck together they just like who are the same as them and hate those who are not. They are so denial in the fact that, there are also so many people has more advantages than them. What are the advantages? Oh.. for example the neighbour has a nice house, clothes, cars, toys, etc what the world can give. The same also if someone they know that much more brilliant and know so many things than them. The point is, jealousy is a combination of hate so many didn't notice that they've got that feeling. What about love? Love is unconditional what is unconditional? True love that don't have agenda like, you can better be good to me so that I will love you, better listen always what I'm going to say, like all that I like, please me and praise me always. That is some kind of a selfish behavior. That's why for me..? hate me if you want, Love me if you can.

What I observed
Many people asked how's Holland? Well, in almost eight months living here. It's really different it's a twist from the country where I've been. Wind mills and landscape are unique Tulips flowers are one of their pride and cheese. The houses are so organized and almost the same the landscape designed like a picture painting. Friesland part of Netherland where we live and it's so peaceful here there are no gates in every house the windows are made of glass, mostly people have their own car. A lot also using bicycle for its so handy because you don't have to park and pay for parking fee. Even you forgot your personal things nobody will take it. It's a rich and expensive country I can say.
As what I observed, dutch people like eating and drinking always a cup of coffee and cookies or cakes on sidings.The social aspect, the togetherness is more important than the food itself. While eating or gathering, they like to talk about personal topics and do not have specific to be discuss. Whatever comes up that's it. Most dutch people like meat and pork they don't like fish and vegetable so much. Filipino eat always rice, but dutch people eat potatoes and bread. I used to cook meat w/ vegetable and spices together, but here they like it seperately. In the Philippines, we have ate for the older sister and kuya for the older brother, but here only calling on your first or last name even little kids. Greetings should be three times and saying doei (bye) before you go and hoi (hi) when you arrived.
It's a custom on birthday party to give presents. The people will not be curious anymore what you give because the birthday celebrant will open it directly in front of you. No malls here in our place only shopping store and it's nearby. When I arrived here, am always looking for bargain clothes 10 euro still 600 in the philippines, but now I'm almost used to it. Not expensive clothes will not last actually, much more money I spend for I have to buy again and again. Doing transactions, meetings and appointment are so quickly here they are used to getting to the point straightaway no long time of waiting and done is done. The traffic rules so strict and so high when it comes to penalties. The people here have freedom what they want to do. A christian and democratic county.

What i like and don't like
The days are going so fast I'm almost eight months here in Holland. It's not easy to live in the culture that I didn't used to.I have to learn Dutch so that I can communicate to people. But I'm living in Friesland part of Holland and the family of Bert talking fries. It's so hard to understand because I know only basic dutch language. We have different personal characters and attitudes. My parents raised me to be frank and not to backbite. I'ts better to tell in front of me than to know it from the others. Don't start to be nice if you don't like and stay who you are. The thing is, why it's like there's nothing wrong and trying to be nice. Being nice in outside it's nothing for me. I'm not saying that I am perfect, but I will not do some efforts just to please everybody. Whatever you've seen on me that's me and I'm not hiding anything. I'm ok if I'm alone and not bothering others. I can say that there's no such a true friend living in this world. The less you talk, the less mistakes. Me and Bert understand each other we know our likes and dislikes. The relation is going stronger and that what matter most.
