“Marking another beautiful year with a heart full of gratitude and love. For this milestone, I imagined a special moment with my dearest Manga, my Mom, in the magical Bamboo Forest of Arashiyama, Kyoto,” she wrote.
The Kapamilya singer-actress, alongside her loved ones, went around the famous Bamboo Forest of Japan. She then dedicated her birthday celebration to her mother who has always given her love throughout her life.
“Though we may not always be side by side, her love surrounds me- always. This birthday is for all the memories we hold and the dreams we continue to share. Here’s to 61 years of life, love, and light,” she added.
Apart from the Bamboo Forest, Zsa Zsa took her mom to several tourist destinations in Kyoto before making their way to Tokyo.
“Sometimes I joke with my Mama and say, ‘You’re like my baby now!’ It’s my way of letting her know that I want to care for her with the same love and tenderness she gave me when I was a little girl,” she wrote.
One of the tourist destinations they visited was the Yokohama English Garden which the veteran singer absolutely enjoyed. She revealed that she will make a yearly visit to the garden as it reminded her of her mother.
“This garden reminds me so much of Manga, my Mom- her love for flowers, her grace, and the way she lights up in nature. Just look at her… blooming with beauty herself,” she continued.
“I’ll always remember her this way- radiant, joyful, and surrounded by everything she loves,” she added.
