Happy New Year Everyone!

Wishing everyone a great 2025 with health, happiness, love and peace!

I have been MIA for a long time. I do not know if I will be back with regular posting but, here I am now.

Thanks to Farah, who reached out to me and wished me a Happy New Year. Since she said she missed my posts, I promised her to post what I have been up to and here it is.

In September my sister and I went to the US for a month to celebrate her retirement. She left her husband home since he didn't want to be too far from his dad, who is not doing so great. 

We rented a car at the airport and had it all through our trip. It was so convenient. SIS even took off on her own once to meet with an old friend of hers and several times to do shopping when I felt like not going. We did a lot of shopping needless to say. 

We stayed with my BFF mostly. We also went to visit some old friends who now live in South Carolina. They will be welcoming a grandson in February so, we brought some gifts for the baby. A friend of mine even sent them a handmade baby blanket and the cutest little cardigan ever. The funny thing is, my friends do not know each other at all. They never met. I am the only common denominator. It was such a kind gesture.

We saw my sister's favorite show Sunset Boulevard and it was truly amazing. We also saw the ballet, Coppelia which I love but, except for the two lead dancers, it was not that great. 

I had been to the One World Trade Center before, but, we went again so that SIS could see it too. 

All in all, it was an awesome visit.

My Stray Kids will be performing in NY in June and yes, I am going. I already bought my ticket. Asked SIS if she wanted to come along and she said yes to another US visit, no to the concert. That's OK. This time, I have a seat so, no standing crazy hours.

I have been studying Korean for a while now and I would like to visit Korea for about a month in the Fall. I also would like to go visit Japan while I am there. SIS initially wanted to go with me but then, decided not to. I guess she doesn't want to spend so much money on travel without her husband. I understand that.

So, my word this year is TRAVEL. I realized that, I am going to be 60 in a couple of years and I want to travel as much as possible while I still can. I have also noticed that time goes by faster than it used to. 

I also started seeing a dietician. I have lost a total of 55 lbs by myself but, I have been stuck for quiet a while and I need someone to keep me in check. Need to lose about 30 more lbs. Actually much more but, that, in my opinion is enough. 

Here is a cute Christmas song from my nephews I never had:

Hope you like it as much as I did. They have done great in 2024. They even broke a 69 year Billboard Record. According to Billboard "Stray Kids became the first act to debut at No.1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with their first six chart entries". I am such a proud STAY. Lol!
