I read some articles here @OfficialGamboaLikeUs about their neighbors and their different characteristics. In this article, I will share my side, what kind of neighbor I am.
A silent type of neighbor I am I don't talk a lot with my neighbors unless we are very close. A few weeks ago I learned my lesson when it comes to relating to my neighbor, especially in dealing with gossip. We cannot avoid that sometimes we like gossip especially when our companions are very chissmosa, and it's just normal for women to talk and talk. Some women here fight because of gossiping about others' lives . That's why I learned to keep myself away from them.
This is me;
Observant
I often observed my neighbor especially when someone is fighting and shouting on the other side, hehe. I just observe and watch but I didn't get come near with them. I always hesitate to talk to them especially when they are busy and also I don't want any delay with my household chores.
I'm asking malunggay(moringa) to my neighbor especially with my mother's moringa because my closest neighbor is my mother, so I'm safe.hehe
I ask for lemongrass too, to my uncle because he had a lot of it in their backyard, especially when I cooked native chicken that's a good ingredient to make it taste better.
I seldom visit my neighbors house, because I have observe when I go with them everyday they might find me very destructive with their daily chores so I choose to stay at home most of the time.
I always make myself available when they need some help except with money matters because I didn't have it now, hehe.
Pa hard to get neighbor
I never go to my neighbors birthday party if I'm not invited with them, it feels so shameful for me to go there if they did t invite me,especially when I'm not close with them.
I let my neighbors lend my things like nail cutter, broomstick , and I already lost three nail cutter because I don't know who used it, they just borrow it but no one returns with me.
In relating to personal issues,I don't interfere with my neighbors privacy especially with family issues and personal trouble of their family, unless they will ask for it.Everyone has its own rights to open up if they like to, but if they want to keep it secret I didn't dig it for the sake of good relationship.
As much as possible I want to maintain a good relationship with my neighbors, because I don't want to live in a life full of trouble.
Before,I used to have a small sari-sari store but someone has offended with me when I ask her when will she pay her debts.She's mad at me that's why I close my store to avoid conflict and it makes me stress everytime I see the very long lists of debts unpaid by my neighbors.After I close it,I finally find peace and didn't worry about debts anymore.
I like my neighbors here, they are nice to me and some of them are very religious, but everyone has flaws I recognize even myself that I've also commit mistakes with them, but that's what neighbors do, we should understand each other as long as we're alive ,there's always a struggle.
Our neighbor is the one who can help us in times of need and not our relatives from afar.I remember when one of our neighbor have a heart attack, our neighbor have help them until he become fine.They prayed for him and massage him and help him revived.In times of emergency our neighbor is the closest person we can call for help,that's why we should love them.
By the way,I have also shared to my neighbor this read.cash and noise.cash to help them also to have extra earning this pandemic, two of them have tried but they never pursue it,because they said they don't have much time and they are having a hard time with English language.
The people here are mostly in line with farming , like crops , corn , banana, and coconut.Most of the time they were busy doing their daily task, the women were gathered in the roadside sometimes, laughing together and talking about life.While the men are gathered in the motor shop and talking about men stuff like motorcycles.Were living here in a simple life.
So far, our neighborhood is peaceful there's no big deal with issues but there are some little issues but not that worst. I know that we are not perfect that's why we need to understand each other.
Just like with BCH community, if we are a nice person, who is polite , and accommodating we can have more friends and the people will loved us too.
I believe in the principle,"what you sow is what you reap",
If we plant good deeds , we can reap good deeds too. Sometime there are some situations which people mock at us, without any valid reason.But for me, it doesn't matter how people think of us as long as we know we didn't do anything bad to them.We should never please anybody, just be who we are, by showing our true self and not a copy paste.Its not our role to please anyone it's not a healthy way of living.
If we want to live peacefully , we should be nice to anybody especially to our neighbor.
I can't really say,that's it's true.Im already been done with having a conflict with my neighbor before and its so tired.
Make friends and avoid enemy
Our neighbor can be our closest friends, my childhood friends which is close to me are my neighbors when I was a kid.They are my loyal friends until now, even if we don't talk a lot, we understand each other.
