Flowers of May in "Manila"

in Hive PH β€’ 14 days ago

Hello @hivephilippines it's been a while. First let me greet you an awesome Wednesday afternoon. Fifth month of the year how time flies. Rainy season is about to come πŸ˜” we're all worrying about our situation here in water world. @katsuki29, my daughter experienced her father's life in Manila.

Her three days experience was amazing. The difference of our place to that place, made her want to leave our kind of lifestyle. His uncle's house is smaller compared to ours, but at least they didn't need to ride a boat or sunk in the flood. The reason why she we went on Manila; her cousin will participate in Flores de Mayo

Flores de Mayo (Spanish for "flowers of May") is a festival held in the Philippines in the month of May. It is one of the May devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary and lasts for the entire month.

Meet Dang-Dang or Reign Lexie. I know I know what you're thinking. Her nickname is really far to her true name. Let's accept it her parents decided that way LoL πŸ˜…

Before...

And After

Kids are all naturally beautiful because of their innocence. If I know how hard was been. I might wished I was a kid forever.

My ever supportive sister in law

She did the hair style and make up of the kiddo. Then she sponsored 2000 pesos for the gown. It actually costs 6000 pesos 😱 woah it's really pricey specially for us that can't afford to buy. Luckily my youngest daughter will be able to wear that too. Because she also take part of the Flores De Mayo in our place. It will be a remarkable experience because I dreamt of being the sagala when I was a child. But never had an opportunity to be choose lol 🀣. Now Ria will be doing it for me.

That's my brother in law

The reason why they bought instead of renting. Well they actually waited 9 years for Dang-Dang to come in their lives. Their eldest was a boy, same age as my son. And life was also tricky after one year Dang-Dang had a baby brother.

Before the parade start they were all gathered in the basketball court.

I can see how beautiful the gowns are even the simplest will make me happy if I we're just given a chance when I was a kid. πŸ€£πŸ˜… While my cousin since 5 or 6 was starting to be the queen of the stage. Will she's probably beautiful and gorgeous. While I'm just me πŸ˜‚

On their way home, my daughter had fun taking pictures of the buildings. I think she already had enough of the trees and water on our place.
