EN: Crayon
The smell of your childhood. This is the ultimate art material for every Filipino kid, used to draw the classic 'bahay-bundok-araw' scene. The 8-piece set was for beginners, the 64-piece set with a built-in sharpener meant your parents really loved you. Also, the first thing you tried to eat that wasn't food.
From the brand name 'Crayola', which itself is from French 'craie' (chalk) + 'ola' (from 'oléagineux', meaning oily). The brand has become a genericized trademark in the Philippines.
Used universally to mean any wax crayon, regardless of brand.
