We were by the Mendiola area and happened to have been held in place by heavy traffic due to this parade of San Beda Alumni.I had to look again, no he’s not a midget. He is just an elementary school kid and probably on the ‘small’ type. But why was he assigned to the cymbals? Looking at him, I imagined the instrument’s diameter is already half his height. Hmm, that should also probably be half his weight. Parusa!
The companion retorted, “alangan naming sa drum, e di sasayad sa lupa yun!”. I was laughing still and he added “alangan din namang trumpet, e kasing haba nya lang yata yun, lalo na hindi pwede sa trombone or tuba, so cymbals na nga, ‘wag ka nang magreklamo”!
Okay, agree hahaha! I had to control myself lest I become the first example that laughing could kill!
Oh well, to play music in these our times…
