Flores de Mayo is a month long flower festival in honor of Virgin Mary. Everyday kids would go to church to hear bible lessons and offer flowers to Virgin Mary for the whole month of May. After the offering, they would line up for a simple snacks and play in the plaza before going home. I remember when we were younger, me and my siblings would go around our compound in search for flowers. We would brave the hot sun just to have flowers to offer to virgin mary. Those were the days ...
Today, Lola Moyette helped Elle Marie pick up flowers from the garden. They did not have a basket so Lola Moyette decided to make a bouquet instead. Elle was so happy, it was her first time to go to Flores de Mayo. However when Elle Marie and Lola Moyette arrived in the church, Elle was overwhelmed by the number of kids doing the flores de mayo. She hesitated to fall in line for the flower offering. But after a long talk with mama, she offered the flowers to virgin mary (she was the last one to offer). Since she was a very good girl, Lola Moyette brought Elle Marie to Gaisano for a Jollibee treat courtesy of Lolo Tito Joemel's gift certificates!This is one great bonding moment for Elle Marie and Mama Moyette... Elle looks forward to next summer again to spend time with Lola and go to Flores de Mayo!

thanks for dropping by my blog. it's a good relief however that the old yaya came back to us last sunday, and the newer one, the one who "abandoned" me for a couple of days last week, also came back last saturday, begging me to take her back. so i did get both, but gave them a "friendly warning."
