Angela Luz celebrated her birthday on April 14 amid mandated quarantine.
Like the rest of the world who's celebrating their birthday sometime this month and the past months, it's safe to say that this year is truly one for the books.
The same goes for Angela Luz, former partner of Eat Bulaga dabarkad Vic Sotto, who celebrated her birthday last April 14th.
On Instagram, the former model and actress narrated how this year's celebration is definitely something she's not used to.
She wrote, “April 14, 2020… How can I possibly describe you? Unforgettable, for sure. Definitely the one birthday that will stand out among all the amazing birthdays I've had in the past.
“Why? Because every year I celebrate big. I usually take a bunch of people to the beach or a dance floor and I party hard.”
But despite all the wonderful memories of the past, Angela realizes that she need not celebrate big in order to make it a memorable one.
“And yet yesterday was the birthday I will remember the most because I had no choice but to stay home, which has never happened. But I will say this again, that I don't feel bad I had to celebrate in such austerity. I was just one of the millions who had birthdays in lockdown, so it was no big deal.
“This is what I believe... that you don't have to wait for any birthday to celebrate LIFE. And I have been extremely grateful for the past year (pre-COVID) where I lived my life to the fullest.”
According to Angela, she grabbed every opportunity last year and enjoyed every single minute of it being a “dancer, a showgirl, a party girl, a traveler” and consumed “bottles of wine and got drunk every chance I got.”
But the one thing she's definitely grateful for was the fact that she's loved --- by her family, her friends, and most of all her daughter Paulina.
“Without a doubt, I am a great mother. Because everything I have done has just come out of genuine, unconditional, immense love for my child.
“And as if my blessings were not enough, in the past year I found out my child is going to have her own child. In fact, the last thing that happened before the lockdown was that we all found out that the baby inside the tummy of @paulinavls is a girl. Sachi, the child of bliss.”
Angela reiterated that her daughter and the child she's carrying is by far her best blessing in life.
“I have been extremely blessed in my life, and I cannot complain about a lockdown where I find myself still living comfortably and still eating three good meals a day. I am still extremely blessed and lucky.”
As for herself, Angela says she will continue to grow old the way she's lived and not take everything for granted.
In her words, “There's nothing a twenty-.year-old can do that I cannot.
“Even if I'm fat, it has never hindered my ability to dance, or perform, or look pretty and sexy. I will wear a bikini no matter what anyone says because if you look at what has happened to the world now, everything has come to an absolute standstill.
“So I'm glad I celebrated each and every birthday like there was no tomorrow because sometimes there literally is no tomorrow.”
