THE JOY OF FLYING KITE

Now you have your kite. This entitles you a place in the town plaza and to show case your kite-flying prowess. You start by holding your kite couple of feet above your head while running up and down the runway. This is just one of the test flights you are going to make. If your kite does not go up, the tail is probably too long, shorten it. If it has the tendency to keep turning, it is the tail again, it is too short, add a few inches to it. If it keeps leaning on one side, balance it on the other side. And despite all these, still your kite does not fly, it must be the galong, adjust it to have the full wind force on its fuselage. Finally, your kite is airborne. What a feat! That piece of paper and stick glued together by anunang actually flies! This is where the most fun is. You position yourself in shade holding the tugot, looking up in the air with so much pride on your face. When there is less wind, you pull it back while whistling the tune asking for wind, and when you feel the wind, you give it more length. How high should I let it go? What? Sky is the limit! Fly higher kite, here is more length. Then!
