It's the last day of April and I feel like I'm going to miss the month. This year's has been a different kind due to La Nina-caused showers. It made the air cooler and the usually fierce equatorial sun during this time of the year bearable.
I remember being in Bangkok early in April last year and the intense heat I had to conquer just to maximize my visit. It was a special time in my life and it's funny how easily it was already a year ago.
I'm looking forward to May, my favorite month of the year in my childhood. Light rains start falling in the Philippines come May, and flowers start to bloom, and everybody gets a relief from the torrid March-April heat. May is also when the May flower parades of flores de Mayo happen. Most unoccupied little to teen-age girls look forward to joining this parade where you get made-up and dressed-up in special gowns.
Santacruzan, the bigger event, is normally prefaced by the flores de Mayo.
