Maraming Salamat! Thank You Very Much!

Baybayin Script reads: "Maraming Salamat."

Thank you all for the birthday greetings. It's always nice to be greeted by family and friends on your born day, especially as you inch closer to the "December" of your life.

I had a simple celebration with my loved ones at my sister's house with my parents, of course. The photo I posted here yesterday is from a unique situation. In all my life, I have spent each of my birthdays with both my parents (and sister). My parents immigrated to the USA a year ahead of my sister and me, but fifteen days after my birthday. My sister, Lola Rosita and I immigrated to the USA on August 19, almost one month ahead of my tenth birthday.

But I moved back to Chicago, Illinois by myself in April before my 23rd birthday. My 23rd birthday was the first I celebrated away from my parents and my sister.

The photo I posted was from my "speed limit" birthday. I had just gotten off my birthday dinner cruise on my actual birthday in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

I am very thankful to have celebrated my "Jack Lambert" birthday with both of my parents. And my sister.

The big bonus was my firstborn drove home all the way from San Jose to celebrate with me. Maraming salamat, ate!

Be safe, be well everyone. Please keep coming back to visit pinoybuilt.com to support the site (and me)!
