Moreover, the Kapamilya teen actress also uploaded a video snippet of her unconventional debut video on her Instagram account on Wednesday (March 23, 2016) afternoon. Through the video’s caption, Janella explained how she ended up deciding not to have a stereotypical birthday celebration on her special day.
“Hello! So…. i’m turning 18 in a few days. I was actually supposed to have a celebration, but I didn’t wanna go through the stress of planning. Plus, celebrating for myself and for the world to see made me feel quite selfish and I didn’t see the point in doing so. (Let me make this clear: i’m not saying people who had debuts are selfish. This is just me being weird.) Anyway, let’s get straight to the point. This was supposed to be shown in my debut- before it got cancelled- to replace the 18 treasures. I don’t really agree with assigning anybody to give me gifts. If you’ll give me one, then thank you. Simple as that. I didn’t even want to have this video broadcasted and i’m not asking anyone to marvel at this “good deed”. I just found the simple joy of giving and remembering others who deserve gifts more than I do instead of receiving. I am sharing this with hopes that people- especially the youth- will never ever forget to think about the others who are not able to enjoy the things we easily get everyday. To you it may seem normal, to them it may be a whole new reason to hold on to life. Think about it. Happy Holy Week, everyone.”
Prior to hosting her “18 blessings,” Janella received a surprise pet-themed 18th birthday “pawty” from her Star Studio and Chalk Magazine family at the Le Rêve Events Venue in Quezon City. Janella will be welcoming adulthood as she turns 18 on March 30, 2016.
