Happy Birthday to me!

WOW! Im 35!  A 3 and a 5? Oh my!  What can I say?  I still remember when I was in grade school that I ask Nanay how old she is so I can fill it up in one of my assignments about family and she says 35... and now I myself am 35 years old? GOSH!

Wanna see how my party went?

Your Nanay and I greet you a Happy Birthday.

I was 35 years old in 1984 and boy it was a miserable year. Ninoy was assassinated a year before. The peso's purchasing power took a nosedive. We could no longer pay the Pagibig monthly amortizations. And Danny asked me worriedly, " Tatay bat hindi mo na kami binibili ng hotdog ".

During those days, the nights seemed darker. With 3 kids in tow and the grand future to prepare for, we had to look up no matter what.

The beautiful dawn finally broke through in 1986, people power.

It's 2012 today and I hope all is well as we see and feel and dream nowadays.

Life is beautiful.

Again Happy Birthday!

Tatay and Nanay
