I have seen mainly older people do so very often they take with them an umbrella when they go out. i generally do not take unless its raining or it is too hot. Do you take an umbrella so often? Or do you carry it while raining or its hot?

well i'm not a believer of umbrella. guess that's got to do with me living in a metropolitan. shelter every other step wherever i go. underpasses that links buildings together. in fact, i can get to my workplace without getting a drop of rain on me from home. so i don't have the habit of carrying umbrella. cheers.

hi applefreak... u make sense if here in the philippines we can find shelter every other step then...its more logical not to bring umbrella... but sadly its not the case here if it rains here its easily get flooded in my area if i am going to work, you not only worry about not getting wet in your head but...need to seek not flooded road to crossed...or sometimes need to hire pedicabs just to cross hehe anyways...SMILE ALWAYS...^_^

oh dear i'm sorry to hear that. it's quite bad that flooding starts when the rain comes down. i used to live in a low lying area that floods every time there is a heavy downpour. it's not so bad that i need transport to get across the street. but i'd be ankle deep in water wherever i go. thank goodness the problem was resolved when they cleared the nearby river. i believe in time to come your place will be as convenient as where i am now. cheers and take care.

Blah..blah.. i don't carry it for two reasons.. Mainly i never walk.. expect the times my parents compel me to go for a walk..( as the doctor advised me to go for walk regularly to have a control on BP) and i always go in Bike.. Secondly.. when in compelling situations if i go out, in hot sun or so.. even then i don't take umbrella, because i used to forget it, and leave it in the place where i visited.. P.S : I prefer, hot sun or rain.. than getting scolding from my parents for losing the umbrella.

Hi subba, when going to shopping mall I won’t carry an umbrella as I would usually park my car in the indoor car park so I don’t have to worry whether it’s rainy or scorching outside. I bring alone with me the umbrella only when going to the nearby market during rainy day.

Umbrellas, I have so many and you know what I usually go out when it is rainning with out one. It is in the truck, does me a lot of good when I need to get to the truck and the umbrella is in the truck. Have you noticed that the new handbags that they are selling now adays most all have a umbrella in the bottom of them. I guess if they make the bag big enough for an umbrella they think you will always have one handly when you need it, good idea I think. I don't carry a umbrella usually and just because it sunny don't mean it will be in an hour. I do see others that have an umbrella when you see them shopping or walking, I guess they are smarter than the rest of us that get caught without one.

In the past, i dun bring an umbrella out with me, but i dun carry a bag and it's quite inconvenient for me too.. Untill there was a period of time whereby it keeps raining, and at most will just wear a jacket.. hehe Til one day, i got a bag as a gift, and so i started to use the bag, and it's quite big, so i just chuck everything inside, mostly for raining purposes, items such as umbrella, jacket as well as cap.. lol =D ANd since then, regardles of the weather, all these things will be in my bag at all times ^_^

Its funny that you started this topic. I never have an umbrella when I need it. I live in Florida so rain is so unpredictable!!! If it is raining already I will grab my umbrella if I can find it. But most of the time I get stuck out in the rain with nothing. My grandma on the other hand ALWAYS has an umbrella. EVERY time I get rained on I always swear I am going to put an umbrella in my truck so that it never happens to me again, but somehow I always forget. LOL

kino makoto - makoto carrying an umbrella
hi subha! like you, i only carry an umbrella when its raining or when it is sunny outside. during the summer, whenever i go out, i always carry an umbrella. and i use a dark color umbrella to ward off the UV rays coming from the sun. the light-colored umbrella doesn't do that. sometimes, if its gloomy and cloudy outside, i would still bring an umbrella. i don't know if it would rain or not so its better to carry one. i use an umbrella that can be folded, its convenient because it fits inside my bag and i don't have to carry it with my hand.

Hello dear subha. When it seems to be a rainy day, I would like to take an umbrella with me and also when I go on business, I have my umbrella with me in case it rains. I always place it in my shoulder bag.

The only time i take an umbrella is if it is raining or if the weather forecast shows that it is going to rain.

I always do. I always have an umbrella in my clutch bag. Well, it is not my umbrella really. My girlfriend gave it to me. She said I should always bring it for her so she won't worry that I might get wet when it rains. And when I get wet, I easily get sick. That is what she is trying to prevent. You cannot know what exactly would be the weather nowadays because of the climate change. It could rain even in summer. So I also like the idea of bringing umbrella all the time. It's better be safe than sorry.
