happiness




FAST   FORWARD   to      2 0 1 3



My life was going down the hill until I seized the moment, and turned my CAN'TS into CANS.   


This year my personal life has reached many milestones that are enriching and which I can describe as life-changing.  The first major change was the wedding of my daughter.  To make the long story short, the news didn't go well with me and I had to struggle with my emotions not wanting to become a MOB (mother of the bride).  Boy, did I throw a fit worst than what you see in the movies!  But like in fairytales, it was a happy ending for everyone ...and we all live happily ever after.


The brocade gown that didn't make it (center) was by Jun Escario
                                   
the pantsuit I wore at the church was patterned after this iconic Givenchy ensemble

The gown I wore to the wedding reception was made by my ever fav designer VANESSA ANG

just added a cape for personal touch (below)



And the addition of a grandson!  You know the feeling?  When emotions seem to have gone to pit level low, a happy incident like the birth of your first grandson, can make one euphoric?  The birth of my grandson brought so much joy to the family.  The little man is so loved.  The whole family just gives and gives love the whole house is just filled with love and there's no way not to feel this special blessing.


co-dependency of family can't survive without each other





My soaps went online.  It's been more than a year since I started making soaps but it's only been 4-5months since I sold it online.  You know the feeling when you make something out of nothing and you sell it and people buy it and they actually like it?  ...And then they tell you how much they love what you do and how their skin problems just vanished because of your soaps and how happy they are?  I'm happier than happy.  I'm blissed out!
