Magandang buhay sa ating lahat!

How fast time flies. It seems only a year ago when I had my 80th birthday at the Heritage Hotel. I didn’t realize I have grown old so fast as I still feel young somehow. Now at 85 I’m still going strong and mentally alert.

I thank the Lord so much for letting me enjoy the precious gift of life in my sunset year still healthy and vibrant sans the maladies and pains common to old age.

I am especially grateful to Ophelia for conspiring with our siblings, my children and their own families together with my caring nephews and nieces to prepare this wonderful surprise for my birthday. Thank you very much Ophel for your love and care for me. I can’t ask for more.

I am also thankful to Dr. Amalia Tirazona, my youngest sister and Betot to celebrate this memorable event with me.

I thank the guests and friends who stepped out of their comfort zones to celebrate this memorable event with me.

My special thanks to Alma and Ely who took me all the way from Northern Samar to Tacloban to catch up with the plane. I am very happy Mariles, Marife and Jojo are here with me.

I regret that Sylvia is not with me today because of health constraints. I also miss Linda who is in the U.S. I regret so much Lito and Efren can’t be here with me due to the strict demands of their work. But they wanted so much to be with me here today.

To everybody around I say a million thanks. I wish you all an enjoyable day.
