Month of May is actually a month of different town festivities in the country. There are hundreds of towns celebrating feast of their Saints. My hometown in Albay will be celebrating this coming week with the Feast of San Isidro Labrador. Unfortunately I cannot go home since I am too busy this year for my day job and project I handled.

This is only the year where I cannot go home on my Hometown I am sure I will miss a lot of things including meeting with old friends and classmates. Sometimes you need to say no when their is something big that is at stake like my job.

There are also occasions here in the entire country like Flores de Mayo where a parade is being held with beautiful girls of course. Good to see maybe I will take some pictures when I have time to watch some of them.

Recently the new seven wonders of the world just been announced in Lisbon. Portugal. The old ones yet also being recognized but needs to be maintained due to some destruction caused by nature. The new seven wonders named was the Great Wall of China, the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Brazil, the hidden city of Macchu Picchu in Peru, Jordan’s Petra, the Taj Mahal in India, Mexico’s Chichen Itza Pyramid and the Colosseum in Rome.

Here in the philippines we have also places that we can consider as one of the seven wonders of the world. There are actually lots of them and hoping that someday they will be included in the nomination or poll during selection.

So the best way is promote the paradise philippines to caught attention to everyone.
