After posting photos from her dreamland-inspired debut, actress Francine Diaz shared more highlights from her birthday this year with a recent upload on her YouTube channel last March 5 titled, “HAPPENINGS AT MY 18TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.” The video showed the highlights of Francine’s debut at Apogee events venue in Malate, Manila which included the cutting of her five-tiered cake, photos with her family while she recited a poetic verse describing her journey in life. “Nagsimula sa isang panaginip ang pangarap na mukhang mahirap makamit. Buong buo sa aking isip tuwing ako’y pumipikit. Mangyayari ito, matutupad ito… Yan ang dasal ko. Kasama ang mga taong totoong mahal ko magkakatotoo ito. Minsa’y naiinip pero patuloy na kakapit. Kahit minsan tila bangungot. Kailan darating ang sagot? Baka hindi na maging katotohanan at talagang panaginip na lamang? Ngunit muling masusulyapan ang dahilan. Kaya ako’y napapaalahanan. Dinilat ko ang aking mata, lahat ito ay totoo na. Mayroon ng liwanag at ningning ang bawat paggising. At ngayo’y muling pipikit hindi dahil ako’y hihiling. Ako’y muling pipikit, nawa’y pasasalamat ko’y Iyong marinig.”<a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2022/2/27/fresh-scoops/francine-diaz-thanks-fans-for-love-and-support-as-198803' target='_blank'>READ: Francine Diaz thanks fans for love and support as she marks 18th birthday</a>The five-minute video also shows a portion where Francine addressed her family and friends and shared her appreciation for those who attended the debut. “It’s my dream na yung mga nandito sila yung kasama ko sa dreams ko.
