sing a song, about kites and sorbetes



i couldn't sing to save my life. quite sad as the philippines is a world leader in karaoke singing. i envy the likes of ryan, janette, tina, etc, who can belt out tunes on the fly. if they are still in high school they could render their own solos for new directions, the show choir from glee.

as for me, i'm just happy being part of the audience. i clap and clap and salute their talents, which bring me to the song above, a performance number for my girl scout group. i can still recall the original choreography after twenty years. another song by celeste legaspi is mamang sorbetero, this was the showpiece song of my grade school choir (for which i was not a member, of course). it's easy to sing, very pleasant to the ears. in the san sebastian residence, max was the resident sorbetero. the chimes of his ice cream cart was a sound of mesmerising beauty, lights up the day of a dreary childhood.
