04 of 12 THE AFFECTIONATE AMERICAN AND THE FASCINATING FILIPINO (12 Months of Funny Romancing)

Welcome to my monthly blog. This year, let’s encourage a humorous romantic relationship. This is how to be a Funny Valentine couple all year round. Each month has one cheesy pun for an American-English speaker to share with a Tagalog-English speaking partner. Let’s begin with month 4 of 12…

MAY 2019: Happy Flower Month
by Dominique Liongson

In the Philippines, Valentine’s Day is not the only season to celebrate happy flowers? Check this out:

Q: Why in May are there flowers on the streets of the Philippines?
A: Because they are celebrating Floor-es de Mayo 
(sounds like “Flores de Mayo” which means “Flowers of May”)

If you gave your partner some fresh flowers last Valentine’s Day, why not try something different? Consider paper flowers —as cool as origami— and a bundle of wholesome jokes.

Jokes can be extracted from the internet and list them on paper. Or, write some down based on what you remember.

If you want a ready made compilation and spare yourself from too much exposure with the screen of your device, order a copy of Pun-tastic Ways for Brighter Days.

Imagine 365 funny riddles at your fingertips. Browse it and assign one joke per flower. If fresh flowers die, paper flowers with matching jokes age gracefully.

Buy a copy of Pun-tastic Ways for Brighter Days and get eye-rolls and laughter now! 

HAPPY FLORES DE MAYO!
