Adding another year to her colorful life.
Through a series of photos uploaded on social media, actress-host Dimples Romana celebrated her 42nd birthday on Friday, November 13.
Shooting the said pictures inside a horse barn, she looked fierce in photos shot by Artu Nepomuceno.
In the lengthy caption, she wrote: “42. A lifetime of undeserved grace.”
According to the Frontline Sa Umaga anchor and Someone, Someday star, her birthday this year feels different.
“A little more emotional, a lot more meaningful,” she noted.
“Looking back, I see God’s faithfulness in every season-a steady and enduring career, a family that finds joy in the simplest things, and a life that has weathered storms we once thought we wouldn’t survive. Yet here we are, still together, still grateful, still blessed beyond what we deserve.”
However, turning 42 holds a deeper meaning for her as her father, whom she endearingly calls as her “Papa Bong” passed away a few weeks shy of turning 42 years old.
“And now, I am about to celebrate the age he never got to reach,” Dimples noted, adding that it humbles her to realize every year that she gets to live from here on is a “bonus year my Papa never had the chance to enjoy.”
“Suddenly, growing older feels less like counting years and more like counting blessings. More time to love my family, make memories, embrace the ordinary, and appreciate the beautiful gift of simply being alive,” she also wrote.
Romana then expressed her wish at 42 years old, noting that she does not wish for a perfect life.
“I only pray for a grateful heart, a life lived with intention, and the wisdom to never take time for granted.”
To conclude her post, she thanked God for bringing her this far and dedicated this new “chapter” to her late father.
It has been a special year so far for Dimples, who also celebrated her 29th anniversary in showbusiness last March.
