Welcome me back!

Has it really been that long? Well, time sure flies very quickly these days especially when you are living the life. My life has been in a whirlwind tour since you heard from me.

Let's see, after we adopted Dolly: Peter and I got married in Palm Springs, I got my green card, my sister Liza had another baby boy named OIlie, my mom returned to the Philippines, my other sister Remy moved to South Carolina, we spent Christmas in Warren, Vermont, we crossed the border to Canada and spent New Year's in Montreal. I have returned to work at FCB West, I left that job recently, and here I am writing as if these events just happened yesterday.

Well, that really summed that up my life in a nutshell--perhaps with some other, relevant or otherwise, events that happened not mentioned on this blog. And I have shredded the awful ones already.

How rich one's life is really matters and can only be measured in terms of happiness, and you tend to edit it and forget about the bad ones as quickly as you can, and move on.

The very happy memories of how that life is spent is what matters--and the time I married Peter on March 29, 2014, is the happiest of all that and is worth more than billions of likes in cyberspace. We were surrounded by friends and family and to say in their presence how much he means to me is what mattered. I am blessed with such a loving family and doubled (legally and emotionally with the Goodwins) and my friends are still out there sending me texts, and notes of happiness on Facebook and sharing their joy throughout the time I have not shared mine here.
And we are being endeared by a wonderful creature everyday named Dolly.

I promise it won't be this long when I see you in again Cyberspace. And I am very glad to share with you these images--the are the happiest of times. In random order.
