I never remembered flying a kite when I was a child. MIL told me R did when they were in Bicol. I asked him about it but he said it was not the real tugatog ng paglipad moment. It was more of "run, little R, run" than the kite flying with colors. So when we scheduled this provincial tour, I made a mental note that my sweet girl should fly a kite. I want her to experience those little things that can really make a great impact to her childhood. As much as I want to shield her from the harmful UV rays of haring araw, it would cause such trouble to explain to her the importance of sunblock. Buti na lang kikay siya - she personally asked for her pink shades and has automatically looked for where there is a shaded area. Thank heavens the weather cooperated. It was definitely a perfect day for flying a kite!
My husband is not the jack-of-all-trades kind of guy, neither a handy daddy. Never siyang nagpasikat sa akin na lalaki siya. Hindi siya nagsisibak ng kahoy, nag-iigib ng tubig, hindi niya sinungkit ang buwan at bituin para sa akin at lalong hindi siya nangongolekta ng kotse, motorsiklo or rubber shoes para mapatunayang lalaki siya. Kaya hindi na ako nagtaka na hindi siya marunong gumawa ng saranggola.
But because he's currently the father of around 200+ military men, he asked his troops to make his princess a kite. And the troops did. They even made one for themselves. Nakakatuwa!
