Oh the comments and remarks we heard from family and friends after you were born exactly nine years ago, dear Bela.
"She looks just like you, Robbi... your mini me."
But comments like that would just as quickly be followed by a sigh and a rejoinder: "Ay, sayang. Sana kamuka na lang ni Patty."
Well, that's what you get for having a beautiful mom.
Many say that the two of us really share a lot of things in common: the wit, the humor, the bossiness. 
Yet you are definitely an improvement: your charm, you friendliness and your social skills are of an upgraded version.
And you are certainly growing up to be a very pretty young lady.
Happy birthday, dear Bela. And as you grow older, please don't leave your original vintage version too far behind.
Love you!
