EN: to fly a kite
To fly a kite. A classic Filipino childhood summer activity, usually done in an open field. Involves a lot of running, getting tangled in strings, and yelling "taas pa!" (higher!). The adult version is trying to make your dreams take flight despite strong winds of adversity. Charot.
From Spanish 'volador' (flyer, flying thing). The Spanish 'v' is often pronounced and written as 'b' in Tagalog.
