August 1, it was a very nice day, the sun comes up and the weather is nice, it’s good to do a party.
It’s my friends birthday party, she lives in Goteborg, Sweden. She turned 29. We met in Nordstan, she’s the first Filipina I met here in Sweden and same as her. We became friends.
I was very busy also that day, preparing and cooking the food I will bring to the party,I cooked Beef Steak Tagalog, because she said most of the food are Filipino dishes.
When we arrived the guest are there, Filipina’s with thier Swedish husbands, it’s the first time I meet all of them,because most of the time Guia(the celebrant) just tell me about them. All of them are Peter’s(Guia’s husband)co-workers in a Hospital.
The celebrant made a short Swedish speech and then we eat. There’s alot of food, adobo, pansit, grilled and fried chicken,grilled pork, my beef steak, spring rolls, cakes, cookies and pastries, and alot of drinks.
Eating, chatting, and drinking, we had fun. Then we started to drink, we opened the Heavy Water Vodka, it’s very smooth to drink, you will not feel anything when you drink it. The fun and laughter started, heat up by Heavy Water Vodka, the celebrant started to dance in the music from my cellphone. She’s so funny, she always shout, “shot, shot the Water, hapy birthday to me”.
It was great party, we are the last to go home, because we help them clean up the mess,hehehe,she was so thankful and happy, it’s her first time to celebrate birthday in a foreign country.
We all had a great time!

Filipina girls, some are conservative some are not, Filipina’s are yet reserve for their feelings and attitudes.
Thai girls are not conservative at all; they are open in “every thing”, open minded, open in ideas, open in anything new. They don’t have reservation for their feelings and attitudes, maybe for some low class girls but for girls with breeding, sure they have reservation.
Filipina girls are religious and believe in Church, as a Catholic they believe in the Holy Bible and follow the teachings.
Thai girls are also religious; they have great faith in their Buddha and believe in their ways.
Filipina girls are polite, shy, kind and sweet. They pay great respect for the elderly and their family and parents.
Thai girls are also the same; most Asian’s have the same characteristics towards family. Thai girls are sweet and kind “if you have money”. If you don’t have they are also sweet and kind.
Filipina girls are loving and caring. They will love you until the end; just don’t make any moves that will lead them to leave you.
Thai girls are also loving and caring “especially” if you have money; they are extra caring and loving. If you don’t have money at all to provide their material things, say goodbye.
Filipina girls are supportive and hardworking; they provide everything for their family even if the husband doesn’t work.
Thai girls are also hardworking, they work to support their family but not their husband, if you don’t have money, sorry for you. They are supportive in telling you to find job always.
Filipina girls are quite and are not so talkative.
Thai girls are loud and talkative and noisy, they are more aggressive and straightforward.
These are just some of the characteristics and attitudes I had learn from our 1 month of stay in Bangkok, Thailand. I remember my husband told me one evening when we are having a conversation, when he went to a massage parlor, coz he always likes to have foot massage, he said one of the Thai girls says, she likes him, spoken indirectly coz she doesn’t know how to speak English, just the other masseur told my husband. Then my husband replied, “sorry I’m with my wife”, the girl said, its ok I want to be your girlfriend. See how they are so aggressive and open minded, and of course my husband is a European so they thought he has a lot of money to provide them what they want. Maybe some of the Filipinas are also thinking like that, but as known they are more concern on their husbands love and care than the money. And that’s for sure.
