I celebrated my 56 birthday alone last October 9, 2026. I'm gratefully and officially reached 56 years of existence. No party or any celebration. Greeting from many virtual friends, and real friends and family completed my day full of joy and happiness. I was grateful! When I was in my elementary, I was I thought I couldn't reach 30 years and could it be the end of the world when it reached year 2000 or another century. But I got wrong, we are now reaching year 2030 and double my life span.
Since I am far away from home and they knew, it's not their culture here celebrating birthday and even death anniversary of the member of the family,they are not celebrating it. What my parent did everytime my natal day arrived, they light candle and offered chicken yearly. But now, they were gone and no one make it for me. I understood my boss, I need they are Muslim.
Yesterday, I I found out my sister cooking pansit and said to her caption that it's for my birthday.
I enjoyed my birthday replying my post and comments I also made and recieved a calls from family back home. I also enjoyed myself with my pet Blacky 2, the birds and garden.



I enjoyed from selfie and self documentation of myself. All. are sleeping and I went to the Pinoy store buying some stuff. I cooked but not inviting visitors instead I divided all what I cooked and gave to my friends nearby.
Some friends of me visited me and so happy for their respect and how they remember my day.

*She is my neighbor in the Philippines,my childhood friend that I helped to find employer here in Saudi. She is 10 years working too.
Thank you Lord for the life extension given to me. Praying for more years to come!
Love you all,
