selfish

so the neighbor was again playing basketball past 11:30 last night.  my dad got up from bed, walked over to the neighbor's and reminded them to limit their game up to 10:00 p.m. so as not to disturb those who are already asleep.  he was firm but this time he was not loud.

my dad already flared up on these people last august.  i teased him then that his voice was louder than the noise of the neighbors he was berating.  he was scolding them at the top of his lungs close to midnight!

my dad's rant:

1.  kaiingay ninyo
->  you are noisy

2.  gabi na, may natutulog nang mga tao
->  it's nighttime, some people are already asleep
[it was 11:45 p.m.]

3.  ilang beses na kayong sinabihan
->  you've been told many times

4.  matagal na kayong pinagpapasensiyahan
->  we've been putting up with you a long time

5.  hindi lang kayo ang nangakatira dito
->  you're not the only ones living here

6.   may mga kapitbahay kayo
->  you have neighbors

7.  hindi ba kayo nahihiya?
->  aren't you ashamed?

8.  hindi puwedeng palaging pasensiya
->  not all the time people will put up with you

the last one my dad kept on repeating...

it's really not just noise that has been annoying him.  he (and i, too) has many times called their attention to a host of other things as well.

if we'll go by track record, the scene will be repeated again in the future...  some people are just brazenly inconsiderate...  may the things they do to others come back to them a hundredfold.
