Way different from my past birthdays. This one is quite melancholic for me
Celebrating 39 years of existence without my dear other half ‘cause he is currently in a locked in taping somewhere far away. My siblings and their families who are here in Manila can’t be with me due to current constraints caused by this pandemic. The rest of them are in Cebu, SG and NY, and again, I know that even if they have the desire to celebrate and be with me physically this day, they can’t
Despite the prevailing negativity during these times, I’m really trying my best, by God’s grace, not to allow myself to wallow in it. I am still and will forever be thankful!!! Couldn’t thank God enough for giving me my husband, my adorable kids, my family and loved ones, dear friends, and supporters
I thank God daily ‘cause I know He is faithful in all His promises. Constantly reminding myself that I need to hold on to Him now more than ever for He alone knows what tomorrow may bring. Only God is my sure assurance of what is to come. Thank you, loves, for all your thoughtful and touching birthday messages. It somehow lessened and ebbed this sadness I feel. You just blessed me today. 
May all of you be blessed too
PS. How come I still feel and think like 16?! 
Guess age is really just a number.

“Way different from my past birthdays. This one is quite melancholic for me. Celebrating 39 years of existence without my dear other half ‘cause he is currently in a locked in taping somewhere far away,” she wrote.
This is why the mother of three said her birthday wishes are for this pandemic to be over soon and a vaccine that will be available to everyone.
“Praying that for the remaining months and days of this year, CoVid will no longer infect any of us, that God will miraculously remove its presence from our country and everything will be back to how it was,” she wrote.
Despite the negativity from these times, Isabel said she’s still trying her best not to wallow in it.
“I am still and will forever be thankful!!! Couldn’t thank God enough for giving me my husband, my adorable kids, my family and loved ones, dear friends and supporters,” she said.
Meanwhile, her husband John posted a sweet birthday message for his “wonderful” wife along with their throwback photos.
“Walang sawa ang pasasalamat ko sayo para sa lahat, lalo na sa pag aalaga mo sa ating mga anak,” he wrote.
Despite the “physical distancing,” he also managed to organize a birthday celebration for his wife via Zoom.
