Cinco De Mayo

I'm back, not with the palm or easter or post easter posts.. but with something rather random..

Today's.... CINCO DE MAYO~!

Well, I never knew what it was till I visited www.yahoo.com and saw that there is some special event going on with mexicans~! Since the Swine flu is being discussed almost everywhere, and that most of them said it originated in Mexico, thus Mexico is now a famous country known for Swine Flu.. But we should not just think of Mexico when we think of Swine flu, but I believe we should know Mexico for something else, thus I shall introduce you to Cinco De Mayo~!

According to wikipedia....

Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a regional holiday in Mexico, primarily celebrated in the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico.[1][2] The holiday commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely defeat of French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.[3][4]

What do people usually do? It was written, food, music, folkloring dance... Well, quite typical for a celebration.. Nevertheless, we should enjoy Cinco de Mayo as well by splashing people on their faces with MAYO~!

PS:
1. It's only celebrated on 5th May, thus I shall splash people with Mayo next year.. beware...
2. Swine flu is known as selsema babi in Malay... (Pig Flu)...
3. There's injustice and unfairness in this world so that people can exercise justice and fairness... (something unfortunate happened that led me to think of that...)
