Pen Pen De Sarapin


My Uncle Popoy and I have been playing Pen Pen de Sarapin.

This is actually a folksong.

It rans like this:


Pen Pen de Sarapin

De kutsilyo de almasin

How, how the carabao batutin.

Sayang pula, tatlong pera

Sayang puti, tatlong salapi

Tikbak, buang, binuno aswang.


To play this, we put our hands on a table or on a mat, with spread fingers. Then we sing, pen pen de sarapin. As we sing, for every note, we point a finger between two fingers. We continue this until the end of the song. Whereever the song ends, the fingers where the song ends, these two fingers will be "removed" by hinding them under the palm. The singing will be continued until only two fingers are left.. Whoever will have his/her fingers left, is declared the winner.

Here is my other new picture. In my school uniform.
