NOONG September 10 ay kaarawan ni Joyce Penas Pilarsky. Ang celebration niya ay ginanap sa Music Box, na ang nag-organize ay ang mister niya, ang actor, producer, at philantropist na si Marc Cubales. Dumating sa okasyon ang mga mahal sa buhay at mga kaibigan ni Joyce in and out of showbiz.
Nang hingan si Marc ng birthday wish para kay Joyce, ang sabi niya, “Ang hirap niyang bigyan ng wish kasi lahat nasa kanya na eh. Minsan hihilingin mo pa lang nandyan na sa door mo. Ganyan siya palagi sa akin ‘yung parang may iniisip pa lang ako , nasa door step ko na o nasa dressing room ko.
“Joyce is so wonderful inside and out, totoo po ‘yun. She’s like a Wonder Woman talaga. She could do anything, and everything. She can paint, she can dance, she can sing. So talented. So articulate. Grabe!
“I dont know kung paano ko siya i-describe. But for me, right now, she’s everything. She’s everything for me and my son, who’s almost 1 year old righ now. Kung hindi lang siya baby, nandito siya to celebrate with her mom.
“Well, I just want to greet you happy birthday kasi everyday is like a birthday celebration for the two of us. Lagi ka naming..you know, the fountain of youth. It’s just to think positive, be positive and be healthy.
“And dami kong natutunan kay Joyce for more than three years . She met me a long long time ago as a model. And then she met me during the pandemic again. And then we became partner, business partner, and we got married silently.
“She and I are really born to be partner together,” aniya pa.
Sinabi naman ni Joyce na, “Thanks for spending this night with me kasi it’s very important for me, because all of you are part of my life. There are always memories that we cherish, and when we grow older, there’s so many memories will have to go back to. And this is one of those that I will always go back to when I’m in my rockin’ chair already.
“But of course, aging will be experienced by.. I hope everybody..and we have to welcome gracefully growing older. Kasi every stages in our lives have impact on us. And for me, it is very important that we cherish everyday of our lives.
“Thank you so much sa lahat ng nadito, kasi you are very important sa akin. Hindi naman lahat pwede i-invite, ‘di ba? So you are the selected few na friends namin ni Marc, na husband ko.
“Kaya thank you so much kasi you spent this night with me. And this means a lot to me. At kung sa iba, this is just an ordinary day, but I want you to remember, that friendship is very important in the world. And having a good heart, ‘yun ang importante sa mundo.
“Kaya thank you, thank you so much for your friendship, for your love and support for all of us.This means a lot to me.”
