One evening i was working in the living room on my laptop. And sometimes i don’t like getting up when I am finishing an important email coz the other person is waiting for my reply.
I noticed some mosquitoes around and biting me,
i realized that  the doors are open.

And so i told our housemate to please close the door since she was near it.

I said…(in tagalog of course)

“Kindly close the door please, because mosquitoes are coming in, theyre biting me.”
(”paki sara ang pinto please, kasi pumapasok ang lamok, kinakagat ako”)
I got busy and later realized that the doors are still left open.

I asked again, saying,

“Please close the door…”
(”paki sara ang pinto…”)

I went on to work again, then saw that the door is still open.

With a little irritation (because i hate being bitten) I said,

“I’ve been requesting for the door to be closed, why are you not closing it, im getting bites.”
(Kanino ko pa pinasasara yang pinto, bakit di sinasara, nilalamok ako.)

She answered…
(”Ma’am, if i close the door, the more mosquitoes will bite you.”)
ATe, pag sinara ko ang pinto, lalo ka lalamukin…
With confusion, i asked,

“Why”(Bakit?)

“…because they can’t go out”. lol
(Kasi di sila makaka labas…lol…)

So instead of me, getting irritated, i laughed…
She was actually concerned of me, and not being disobedient…

It’s always best to ask for reasons why people do what they do,
sometimes what they do seems to be wrong to us, but
their reasons are right to them, thinking about us with concern.

But still…i prefer the door closed, no mosquitos please…:)
