Last year my dad had informed me he will be getting married in Tacloban the place his wife grew up in the Philippines . My dad said he would like all of his family members to attend since they couldn't go to the one in the United States. Carmina booked her flight during Philippine Airlines ’ year-end sale at the start of 2026. I told my dad about my travel plans for a short trip from Friday, April 17 to Sunday, April 19. My cousins also asked for my flight details so they could book the same flight. My dad said he will book my room for me sharing with two family members at Summit Hotel in Tacloban . Sending me the confirmation booking information for my reference. As the months went by, before I knew it, the big day had finally arrived—a rare event that doesn’t happen too often. Everything had been carefully planned by my dad and his wife, Tita Cielo. When we arrived, the check-in time was 2 PM, but there was a mix-up with the rooms. Some were ready for check-in, but the one...
Today is a special day for me and I just realized how there is a lot of people who is there for you not to be next by you, but to read out all the birthday wishes.
There are times you feel all alone and not realize there are really people out there for you.
I decided not to publish my birthday in social media. I was testing everyone if they would just remember on their own.
There are a lot of families and close friends who have passed the test.
I had received so many comments and birthday wishes it was over whelming. I had to turn off my internet for awhile to catch up and breath.
I am thankful for everyone having to think of me on this day. To send me birthday wishes and call me up just to greet me even if we're far away from each other.
The best birthday gift was receiving not a gift to unwrap and open it, but a birthday greeting that took courage for people to actually do it.
My younger sister had emailed me asking for our childhood pictures at first I was curious why she was asking for it.
I was thinking it was some sort of project for her children's assignment or she was planning to use it for something else.
I only found out when I woke up that she used the childhood picture when we're kids. My mom said, I was seven and my sister was 5 years old at that time.
I couldn't figure out our age since the picture had no date when it was taken.
As you reach your birthday you get to celebrate it with two days one today Manila time and the United States the next day. In Manila we are one day ahead and United States they are behind either way you get to celebrate it in two places.
In the Philippines when your birthday comes any buffet Restaurant has a free meal for the birthday celebrate. The only thing you need to present is your identification card to show proof of your birthday with a picture.
Today, I had celebrated my birthday with my Aunt whose birthday is the same month.
We would like to thank everyone for our birthday wishes.
