THE JOY OF FLYING KITE |
Woooooopsss, my kite is flying pilot-less! That is when you and some kid-spectators run as fast as you could after it. There is still hope it can be recovered. Some actually land on the ground, unscathed. There are times when a bunch of kids are already on-site, and would gladly hand your precious kite back. Then run back to the plaza while there is still daylight, to fly the kite again. Some actually end-up hanging on trees like Christmas decor. But that is not the only time your kite could end-up a decor. Sometimes the wind drags it to where the trees are and it takes skill to beat it. But don't worry, here is Loloy Titang (The Masai, may God grant you eternal rest my friend) who can retrieve your kite for five centavos. Five centavos! Where will I get five centavos? Loloy is a good friend of mine, he retrieves my hanging kite for free. Some of us fly the same kite the whole season, some lose two the same day, while if I lose two in a season, I already consider it lucky. Making a kite that actually flies is no-easy task, but I would rather take the time making it than fly the same one the whole time. I do not envy the play-safe guys, they are boring. |
