Childhood Memories: Kudut-kudutan

Childhood Memories: Kudut-kudutan

When my mom's home barangay fiesta comes, this song is played in the kurudalan which I perfectly don't attend. Played a few kilometers away from the barangay proper to my brother's house, it can be heard a loud even by the mountains around the place. It was nostalgic, a time being a child. The calm moments of a child. The memory of trustful friends. When I heard this, I felt a deep longing for good old friends.

 Kan ako sadit pa
Sadit ka pa man 
Nagkarawat kita nin 
Kudot- kudotan  
Kinudot mo ako 
Kinudot taka man 
Ang simbag mo sako
Luway-luwaya man 
Haen ka na baya
Kakawat kong madaya
Ang kudot-kudotan
Sakuyang girumdum
Haen ka na baya
Kakawat kong madaya
Ang kudot-kudotan
Hinahanap ko ngonian.
Unofficial Tagalog Version:
Nung ako'y maliit pa
Maliit ka rin
Naglaro tayo ng
Kurut-kurutan
Kinurot mo ako
Kinurot din kita
Ang sagot mo sakin
Hinay-hinayin lang
Nasaan ka na ba?
Kalaro kong madaya
Ang kurut-kurutan
Aking naalala
Nasaan ka na ba?
Kalaro kong madaya
Ang kurut-kurutan
Hinahanap ko ngayon.

 Lasenggo Version:

Kan ika saday pa, saday pa man ako,
Nagkakawat kita nin kudot-kudotan.
Kinudot mo ako, kinudot taka man,
An kudot mo sako, hinahanap ko ngonyan.

Haen kana baya, kakawat kong madaya,
Nagkakawat kita nin kudot-kudotan,
Kinudot mo ako, kinudot taka man.
An simbag mo sako, luhay-luhaya man.

Duman sa Iraya, may parapamansag,
Hababang babae, halakbang an piad.
An natutukawan, duwang salagsalag,
An nakakabitan, botong garo takyag.

Haen kana baya, kakawat kong madaya,
Nagkakawat kita nin kudot-kudotan,
Kinudot mo ako, kinudot taka man.
An simbag mo sako, luhay-luhaya man.

Duman sa looban, igwang kamposanto,
Na piglulubongan, nin mga angelito.
Mabayad man ako, minsan pa gurano,
Makalubong lamang sakong payo-payo.

Haen kana baya, kakawat kong madaya,
Nagkakawat kita nin kudot-kudotan,
Kinudot mo ako, kinudot taka man.
An kudot mo sako, pighahanap ko ngonyan.

An mga daraga, an mapili-pili,
Dakul man matakot kan linta sa tubig.
Kasu matuparan, an linta sa banig,
Bakong sinisikwal, kundi kinakabig.

Haen kana baya, kakawat kong madaya,
Nagkakawat kita nin kudot-kudotan,
Kinudot mo ako, kinudot taka man.
An simbag mo sako, luhay-luhaya man.

An Easter in Dingalan Mountains

Jump to Itinerary and Expenses   The Bus Ride from Manila to Cabanatuan      At almost noon, we arrived at Cabanatuan after 3 hours of travel from Manila. At first, I was hesitant to take the non-AC bus bound for Dingalan, opting and hoping we could take the van to avoid the scorching heat. Quickly, we were time pressured to jump at the next available public vehicle (t his ride appealed like it would tarry no man ). And so, we were en route to Dingalan on an open-windows, non-aircon bus at the peak of the afternoon heat. But as the wheels ran, I could only think of my anticipation as we got closer to our next destination.        Next to us, an old lady accompanying a big group of fellow passengers asked the bus conductor for a fare discount. She claimed that her son, whose name she mentioned twice though I didn't bother to catch, works for the bus company. The conductor with his subtle anxious look explained in detail how or where the fare will b...

Misnomer no more, pronouncing "Laguna de Bay" the right way!

Few years ago, we went to Paete/Pagsanjan by commuting from Cainta via mostly R-5/Manila East Rd. On our return home, we commuted via mostly Manila South Rd/AH26. In short, we made a 360 Laguna de Bay trip. At Tatlung Kruz, overlooking Paete Town and Laguna de Bay  After visiting Bulusan lake, I started to categorize my lake travels and wondered what was the largest lake in the Philippines. I found Laguna de Bay– unconsciously included a few times in my past itineraries. I wondered why a lake was called "Laguna de Bay", pronouncing "Bay" as in the inlet of the sea that's smaller than a gulf. Laguna de Bay means "Lagoon of the town of Bay". The town Bay is pronounced Bä'ï or “Bae”, the latter is also the alternative name of the town. As I write this blog, I still say "bay" out of habit. Now, I must misnomer no more if I pass by Laguna de Bay, by the by!
