April Showers☔️ bring:
MORE May Showers! ⚡️
My dad grows beautiful blossoms🌸 in his 🌳garden. Now they’re in full 🌺bloom. This is great timing⏰ with my mom’s 🎈celebrations🎁 this month.

After Mother’s Day, Mami Aya asked Papa Jun not to give her anymore 🌹roses. She meant flowers in general, but since she wasn’t clear…

He gave her calla lillies for her birthday! 🌻
While my Nanay appreciated his always kind gestures, she passed along the bouquet💐 to someone more deserving …

Happy Belated 🎂Birthday🍰, Bishop Mike!
While everyone all over the 🌍world🌏associates May with 💐Mother’s Day, this whole month is devoted to our Blessed Mother, Mary.
As my Church💒 celebrated the Coronation👑 of our Queen Mother (the fifth Glorious Mystery 🙏 of the 🌹Rosary) at our recent Corpus Christi🌴 Procession👣 (in which my bestie, 🎈Birthday🎁 Girl Evie crowned her last year), we remember her as the faithful woman with the Immaculate 💝Heart.
Mary of Galilee is the epitome of Pro-LIFE. Despite being unwed to Joseph at the time of the Immaculate Conception, she still followed GOD’s will upon the Annunciation👼 (the first Joyful Mystery🙏 of the 🌹Rosary) and gave birth to the LORD JESUS👶 (the third Joyful Mystery).
Holy Mary, like parents who experience the tremendous ♥heartache of outliving their children, encountered not just burying her child, but also the anguish of witnessing her own flesh and blood being condemned to death (the Sorrowful Mysteries🙏 of the 🌹Rosary).

The Mysteries of the Rosary: Joyful * Luminous * Sorrowful * Glorious
Not only is the Virgin Mary the prime example of motherhood, she also exemplifies selfless service to GOD☝️ as the chosen one to be the mother of CHRIST. She is known by many names, including from her apparitions:
👑Queen of Mercy
👑Queen of Peace ✌️
Our Lady of Guadalupe
Our Lady of Fatima
Our Lady of Lourdes
Our Lady of Manaoag
Our Lady of Perpetual Help


👼 Hail Mary full of Grace! ☝️

Happy May the 4th be with You!

Monday’s multiple feature is about May days …
- First, I traveled to SA for school and to meet with my esés for the game and fight*

Pinoy Pride ✌
*My remarks about Manny:
- He has way more going on in his life than just being a fighter:
- He lives by his faith
- He is a hero to his family and my native country due to
- his generosity from his earnings and
- his political career
… while Fighter is the only identity that Floyd Mayweather has achieved:
- Professionally, obviously
- Personally ~ considering his history of violence
This self-proclaimed $Money$ was in it for
- The title and to remain undefeated
- $elfishly keeping his winnings
- Before and after my trip back home, I had to celebrate May the Fourth be with You

Strawberry Wine … Seventeen … Hot July moon … Saw everything…
How about this?
Strawberry Month … Thirty-two … Warm May sunshine … Tasted sweet!
Happy National Strawberry Month!
Now that strawberries are in season, they’re the perfect sweet treat that’s low in calories, fat free, good with other food …

or drinks …

or flying solo …

and a great palette cleanser.

Enjoy your Mother’s Day weekend!!!
