Yes I was my birthday yesterday and I was 46, so that was 1962 when I was born.
However my father in-law passed away last Thursday and his Funeral was yesterday, thus all birthday celebrations were postponed for a couple of weeks whilst we observe a period of mourning.
For those of you who are interested in different traditions, in the Philippines the hearses are white and people wear white not black. Also the body normally resides at the home until the day of the funeral, and the family supply sustenance and accomodation to all those who arrive day and night to pay their respects.
Also there is a mamouth gambling session during this period with a cut of the pot going to the bereaved.
