Hello May. We already said goodbye to April. And said thank you, April for the ride. Rollercoaster? I think not.
And now May here you are. Labor Day is what you offer in your first day. And it marks a new beginning to bounce back.
May 7th, our fiesta in the barangay. We call it Mayflower Festival. It's been years since I did not go home to celebrate.
May 11th, my mother's 62nd birthday if she is still alive.
May 13th, my nephews birthday. They are back home in the province for vacation.
May 13th, election day.
May 13, 2017, the day I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I was in high school when I heard about the gospel but did not understand the weight of the cross. Growing up, I embraced the belief I grew up with. And I evetually realize I was empty and there was no satisfaction in my life. I mean, I have work but deep inside, I am not happy. ( oppps, sorry, this is another topic for another time )
Some post I saw on FB says, "Hello May be good to me". And then I say why what happened to May?

@jobelbojel I hope you can remember them, so you don't neglect them on their birthday.

Looks like its full month with lots of memories and celebrations this month. For me I just hope that the brunt of summer would slowly simmer down and some rain would finally come and fill our dams with the watet we need. New month always brings hope to us always.

"What May did wrong to you?" 
I always encounter that post on Instagram. Obstacles are inevitable and it's actually our choice to solve it right away. Prolonging the agony makes things even worse so I guess it's best to calm down first in order for people to think, react, and act properly.
I like it that you have so many events. May 12 is also mothers' day. Your mother must have been so proud to have a son like you.
