OOOPS! I checked the YouTube vid I posted earlier, and it says that the URL malfunctioned. What to do? On top of that is a blank search box. Put in Pasir Gudang International Kite Festival 2008 and several YouTube selections will appear. Click /watch the one posted by Virtual Malaysia. It's a cool video. Check me out somewhere in 1:22 (orange shirt) and 3:37 flying a PeterLynn kite. Buddy L. is in 3:13 jacking off his kite, hahaha.
WOW! Look at that, my last post was in October 07. I must have been pretty busy. Oh yes, Jan 08 was so hectic that I declined the Gujarat International Kite Festival invitation (Jan12-16). Then the bad news about my 82 year-old Dad (Pepe) being rushed to the ICU due to multiple organ malfunction. I had to rush back to Davao to check on his health condition.
Thank God, he slowly recovered after several dialysis and blood transfusion procedures. He's still in his sick bed, but at least out of the hospital. He manages to take several steps at a time, but moves around in his wheel-chair. I hope he recovers fully so we can fly kites together and sing "Saranggola ni Pepe".
During that time, I have to fly back and forth from Manila to Davao since the organizer's meetings for the 12th Phil. Internationa Hot Air Balloon Fiesta (PIHABF) are ongoing. Then the big PIHABF event (7-10Feb).
PIHABF 08 done! Fly to Singapore a week after that with Buddy L. to attend the 13th Pasir Gudang International Kite festival in Johor , Malaysia. Check us out in action, watch- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr
March 14-18, Me and Lauro De Guzman flew to Guam for the 4th Kites for Wishes event of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Great hotel, great food, great flying field!
April 18, I flew to Xiamen, then Wenshou to Qingdao. I attended the 2nd Congress of the International Kite Federation (IKF). I was appointed IKF Official for Marketing and Promotions, a special Sub-Committee. April 19-23 was the 25th Weifang International Kite Festival, which unfortunately was rained out. But, we were there in the cold rain, still flying kites. I guess our strenght and determination came from the Tsingtao Beer we were drinking all the time. Fabulous event!
Now there! That covers up for the several months I was out. I'm posting some photos of these past events (hopefully).
