Full of the things that matter most to me. My kind of birthday in this season of my life.”</p><p>Beyond celebrating with her loved ones, Iza also spent part of the week rearranging their home, finally making changes she had been meaning to do for some time.</p><p>“I even spent part of the week rearranging our home, finally moving things around that I’d been meaning to for over a year, letting go of what we no longer needed and making space for something new,” she shared.</p><p>While she was letting go of some things, Iza also found a reason to hold on to something special from Ben 10 years ago.</p><p>“And yet, there are some things worth holding on to, like the beautiful red dress Ben gave me 10 years ago that I chose to wear again on my birthday. I love that it has stood the test of time and gets to be part of this chapter of my life too,” she expressed.</p><div> </div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:500px;display:block" width="500"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17878376424001787837640337.jpeg" style="width:500px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="500"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo Credit to missizacalzado on Instagram<br id="isPasted"/></span></span></span></div><div><strong> </strong></div><div><strong></strong><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/5/10/exclusive-iza-calzado-on-how-motherhood-has-changed-her-i-m-not-the-same-person-1145" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u><strong>READ: EXCLUSIVE: Iza Calzado on how motherhood has changed her: ‘I’m not the same person’</strong></u></a><strong></strong></div><div><strong> </strong></div><p>For Iza, the simple moments of her birthday week reflected how her perspective on celebrating another year has changed over time.</p><p>“Birthdays feel different now.
