Actress Isabel Oli couldn't help but reflect on the unexpected turn of events in the year 2020 as she turned a year older yesterday, October 21.

On Instagram, the mom of three said that unlike her past birthdays, her celebration this year was quite a melancholic time given that her husband, John Prats, is away for a locked-in taping and that her family isn't with her due to the constraints of the pandemic.

That's why for her birthday wish, all she hopes for is that “this pandemic will soon be over.”

She continued, “[I wish] that the vaccine will soon be discovered, and it will be available to all.

“I am praying that for the remaining months and days of this year, COVID will no longer infect any of us, that God will miraculously remove its presence from our country, and everything will be back to how it was.”

Isabel mentioned that despite the prevailing negativity, she tries to remain optimistic about what lies ahead.

“I'm really trying my best, by God's grace, not to allow myself to wallow in it,” she said.

“I am still and will forever be thankful. I couldn't thank God enough for giving me my husband, my adorable kids, my family. loved ones, dear friends, and supporters.”

“I thank God daily 'cause I know He is faithful in all his promises. I am constantly reminding myself that I need to hold on to Him now more than ever for He alone knows what tomorrow may bring. Only God is my assurance of what is to come.”

The 39-year-old then thanked John for sending her a bouquet of flowers and reflected, “How come I still feel and think like 16?! Guess age is really just a number.”

Read her full post below:

39🤍 Way different from my past birthdays. This one is quite melancholic for me😢 Celebrating 39 years of existence without my dear other half 'cause he is currently in a locked in taping somewhere far away. My siblings and their families who are here in Manila can't be with me due to current constraints caused by this pandemic. The rest of them are in Cebu, SG and NY, and again, I know that even if they have the desire to celebrate and be with me physically this day, they can't😢 Hence for my birthday wish, I am really praying and hoping that this pandemic will soon be over. That vaccine will soon be discovered, and it will be available to all. Praying that for the remaining months and days of this year, CoVid will no longer infect any of us, that God will miraculously remove its presence from our country and everything will be back to how it was. 🙏🏻 Despite the prevailing negativity during these times, I'm really trying my best, by God's grace, not to allow myself to wallow in it. I am still and will forever be thankful!!! Couldn't thank God enough for giving me my husband, my adorable kids, my family and loved ones, dear friends, and supporters⚪️ I thank God daily 'cause I know He is faithful in all His promises. Constantly reminding myself that I need to hold on to Him now more than ever for He alone knows what tomorrow may bring. Only God is my sure assurance of what is to come. Thank you, loves, for all your thoughtful and touching birthday messages. It somehow lessened and ebbed this sadness I feel. You just blessed me today. 🎂 May all of you be blessed too🤍🌹 PS. How come I still feel and think like 16?! 😂 Guess age is really just a number. 🤪 Thank you Cuff @johnprats for the flowers💐 Aaaaand thank you also...
