she made it

Guess what? Last weekend (April 2024) We hit the century mark last weekend in Brazil! My Aunt turned a whopping 100 years old! Can you believe it? She's the trailblazer in our family, hitting the big 1-0-0. She's currently living with my mom, who's on duty as her personal caretaker.

Last time I saw her was during my Brazil trip last summer. We snapped some pics, and who knows, they might just be the final ones!

I mentioned in my post about her 99th birthday bash that living far away, like abroad, can mean missing out on a ton of family shindigs. It's the price you pay for being an international jet-setter. But hey, it's not all doom and gloom. Thanks to today's tech, we can stay connected with free chats, video calls, and social media. The struggle ain't as real as it used to be!

As for me hitting the century mark? Well, let's just say I'll probably hit the "regressive count" instead. My life's been a rollercoaster, not perfect, but definitely a wild ride. My wish? That my kids, family, and even my students in China live it up and make the best choices so they don't end up looking back with regret.

My blog's chock-full of tips and opinions on navigating life's big decisions because, let's face it, where we end up is often a result of the choices we make. No pointing fingers here, folks!
