Birthdays…birthdays…
As you all know, we have a lot of May birthday celebrants. I’m one of them of course. I share a birthday with Marita Lavarias-Phillips, who now resides in Poway, CA. We share the 24th of May and usually commemorates the “Fiesta” in Baclaran in honor of our Patron Saint, Santa Rita de Cascia. I’m sure that our town is bustling again with youths trying to put up banners and organizing amateur singing contests. The things we miss huh?
Well, the weather has been crazy lately – in the Philippines and here in the US as well. It’s either rainy, too hot or too cold. I hope that the weather changes won’t damper the celebration this month in Baclaran.
Shout out to our “kapitbahay’s” who are still residing in the area. Enjoy the month of May – - we will say a prayer or two for Lola Chayong who was very involved with the “Alay” to the Blessed Virgin Mary during the month of May. We miss you lola!
