Hello,
Last year I intended to host a lunch or dinner in my birthday month of May for 20 of my loyal OMB readers but it didn’t push thru. I canceled it. Our family was beset with personal problems last year and I didn’t have the right frame of mind to do anything that month. I was moving like a zombie and just swaying with the wind. I couldn’t even stand up straight last year, I was always falling to the ground, crying. Wondering why those things were happening to us. It was an unbelievably bad situation.
Today, a year after, I still move with wonder, but in a good way. Our problem was huge and I thought we wouldn’t be able to manage it. The tsunami came on March 19, 2016, it’s been a year. We’re still here. Bruised but recovering. There are still remnants of the tsunami but with God’s love and support, we’re looking forward to seeing nothing but sunshine.
And now, it’s May again. And I would like to celebrate. I’d like to celebrate life. Last year I thought I was going to drown from my own tears and die from stress. Today, I am still here, feeling grateful although a lot uglier and looking older. The wrinkles wouldn’t go away anymore.
What a year it had been. My website’s name OH MY BUHAY really expresses and summarizes my life.
So, you are invited to a simple birthday dinner at our residence on May 12, 2017 from 7 pm – 10 pm. It’s two weeks early because I am spending my birthday with my siblings on my actual birthday. It coincides with our annual Tan family reunion.
I will publish the names of invitees soon.
Mark your calendar– May 12.
Praise God Maám that this year you have the strength to celebrate another year of your life. I hope mapasama ko sa bubunutin niyo, hehehe. Ako rin ma’am kala ko mamamatay na sa sunod sunod na problema…nabuntis di pinagutan, nawalan ng trabaho, nagka cancer. Kaya praise God talaga.
Hi Marie,
Getting pregnant was your choice. Quitting your job was also your choice. Just look at your baby’s face and wala lahat ng pagod mo.
My not smart choices in life…yung Hindi nag isip…..true when I look at his face I thank God for the gift he has given me.
Hi Tita Annie! How have you been lately? I hope you’re doing well. It has been roughly a year since I commented on one your posts. And based on this entry, I can deduce that you are slowly recovering from whatever hardships you’ve gone through the past year. I’m praying that everything will fall into their right places. And I know that whatever it may be, you can conquer it because you are an iron lady. In all honesty, you and Tita Det de Leon are two of the women I look up to. Both of you have golden hearts; I wish the world was blessed with more people like you both. Hope to see you one day Tita Annie, and Tita Det, I’m hoping to meet you in the games.
Always,
Khana Palo
Hi Khna. I am good, very busy. Thank you Khana for your kind words and good wishes.
Good to hear that, Tita. Wishing you all the best of everything! 🙂
