Simple Birthdays / Lasting Memories ❤️🎂

Hello everyone!

Hope all are safe and well!

In just four days, I’ll be turning a year older. ☺️🙏

But this year feels different. I’m currently in Luzon, far from home. It’s been raining endlessly here due to a typhoon, and sadly, some areas here are already experiencing flooding. The gloomy weather outside somehow mirrors what I feel inside, the quiet sadness of knowing I won’t be spending my birthday with my family.

So here I am, counting down not just to my birthday, but also through memories. Instead of preparing for anything this year, I find myself reminiscing about a birthday that still lives warmly in my heart, the one I celebrated two years ago with the people who matter most to me: my family. ❤️

That was after the nice celebration with my ex. But coming home and celebrating with my family felt even better. I felt something deeper, a genuine kind of happiness that no romantic relationship could ever replace. There’s just something about being with your family on your birthday that brings peace, comfort, and real joy. ❤️

It was a simple celebration, no big party, no grand setup. Just a small cake, a few dishes, and the company of the people I grew up with and love the most. We gathered around the table for a group photo. The food was simple, but the presence of my loved ones made everything feel complete. It was one of the most meaningful birthdays I’ve ever had. ❤️

When I was about to slice my cake, I paused. I didn’t want to cut through my name written on top. 😁🤭 It looked too special, and I wanted to keep it that way a little longer. 🤭

Later, we were all seated on the couch, sharing laughter and doing wacky poses. That moment was filled with pure happiness. It made me realize how priceless time with family truly is. ❤️

No expensive party could ever replace the joy of being surrounded by your family.

That day was full of genuine joy. Celebrating with family brings a kind of happiness that’s hard to describe. It’s the laughter that fills the room, the teasing, the stories, and the comforting presence of people who accept and love you completely, those are the things that make birthdays unforgettable. ❤️

As I count down to my upcoming birthday, I already know it will be different. I won’t be home. I won’t have my family beside me. But I hold onto these memories because they remind me how truly beautiful life is when spent with the ones you love. Family love is always the most lasting.

Even with the storm outside, I find warmth in remembering. And in my heart, I know that love always finds a way to reach us no matter how far we are from home.

Have a Blessed Wednesday everyone! 😀😀😀💖💖💖

Thank You Lord for the blessings and love!

Be grateful in every little/simple things and you’ll find happiness you ever wanted! 😀😀😀

Everyday is worth to be grateful of!

Praying for the safety and wellness of all.

Heal Our Land Oh God!
