Parang ‘parapluie’ na hindi na ‘parasol’
Payong pwedeng pang takip sa araw at ulan.
“Parapluie” and “Parasol” are two French words for umbrella: yong una pag ang payong ay ginagamit kung tag-ulan (pluie is for rain), yong pangalawa pag ang payong ginamit kung tag-init (sol is for sun).
Earlier when I went down of our residential building for the day’s errands and responsibilities it was raining. I didn’t bring an umbrella because I thought it was just a gloomy day – mainit pa rin kasi sa loob ng bahay. When I saw that it was pouring my first reaction was frustration and irritation. Kasi aakyat ulit ako eh iisang elevator ang gumagana medyo late na ako sa errands. I tried asking at the reception if ever they have extra umbrella that I can barrow. The receptionist wasn’t ready for the rain also so she didn’t have one. Sabi ko tuloy, “Nakakainis!”
When I heard myself saying that out loud, I became aware of my awfulness. So selfish of me only thinking of my convenience when the whole country needed the rain since few months earlier! Without complain I went up stairs waiting for 10mins going up and another 10mins going down to get my black banketa-bought ‘parapluie.’ Then proceeded to my chores for the day. The good thing was, I was able to accomplished those before the day ended.
How are you when you experience a little inconvenience? Do you focus on your own frustration and wallow over it? How about thinking of the greater things people needed being provided despite of your small non-comfortability!
