Binday, Larry and kids were over at my place yesterday. They wanted to greet me a Happy Birthday. I wish I had more time to spend with them but my friends had planned on taking me out for my birthday that evening. Jessica, Joshua, Jillian and Jeremy gave me a big hug and we had dinner at home.
I received greetings by phone from Kuya Rey, Ate Agnes and Oliver as well. Thank you!
I started my birthday early yesterday. I went to hear mass at St. Rita de Cascia church in Center City Philadelphia, then a few friends had lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant courtesy of a friend of mine. Thanks Bugs! (Yes, that’s the English version of his name. The original? Budigoy! Haha!)
Here are several pictures taken from the church and the Philadelphia Art Museum area.
This is the Santa Rita de Cascia National Shrine in Philadelphia.
Here’s her statue located in the basement of the church where her relics are displayed.

Here’s a picture of a Colonial home in Philadelphia.

A beautiful day in Philadelphia.
Time to goof around.

And here I am in the car.
I lit a candle for Ate Marita – who is my birthday twin. I also thanked God for another year and prayed for more healthy years ahead.
That’s all folks.
