If a
blog was a real touchable object, than at this very moment I would be picking
mine up and blowing the dust off. Underneath all the layers of dust would
reveal a glimpse of a life I had 18 months ago. A life that brought a smile to
my face and a pang in my heart as I read my very few blog entries posted. It brought back laughter and teary eyes and reminiscent memories. It's like a relationship that I was in, that I broke up with, and did not have anything to do with for 18 months.
My
last blog in LA (oh how I am LA homesick!) …it was supposed to be the beginning
of my blogging about the next chapter of my East Coast life. How am I ever
going to update this blog with all that has occurred in the last 18 months…I
didn’t even update about our cross country trip! Geez, I surely threw this blog relationship to hell. I am utterly disappointed in
myself and I must be a disappointment to whoever, in this vast virtual world,
is actually reading this (because in my hopeful mind I have at least 1 imaginary
reader :) ).
But even if there are no readers, than I am doing this for the pure reason of exactly
what happened to me just now: I was able to catch a moment of my life a year
and a half ago, during those last few months in LA, and be able to read and
relive that moment a year and a half later. Just like a photograph of an ex…but this photograph I cannot rip up and this photograph are actually words...
Speaking
of photographs… I do have a few memories that I would like to document here,
right now. My beloved Die Happy Design is becoming more and more into an actual
business! So even though I neglected this blog relationship, I rebound with an actual company! Here's how we met: when I returned to NYC, I joined with D and we formed a boutique. It’s
not an actual store front, but a traveling boutique and now it will evolve into an online
store. And boy did he grow. During this past year, dhd grew from one single table topped with exotic
pieces of jewelry I collected on my travels, to taking up half the area
of our rented show spaces filled with both accessories and apparel! And now
since this boutique is becoming its own entity, I’ve decided to branch it off
into its own company apart from Die Happy Design. I am now in the process of
searching for the perfect name for my new man boutique. And dhd will get it's own brand:
While I work on my boutique of apparel and accessories, Die
Happy Design will remain all about design. It has a domain page that is under construction and I’m hoping that
soon it will be an actual fully functioning page. The site will concentrate on
my resume of architecture & interior design projects; both that I’ve done
on my own and projects I’ve worked on for firms (Live Happy). It will also
feature its own future Die Happy Boutique which I plan on using to showcase furniture
pieces, home goods, and creations that I actually designed and made. Cause
Happy will be reserved for philanthropic or charity work, assuming that Die
Happy Design will become successful and enable me to participate in and
contribute to. This ability is one of my lifetime goals. And finally a new commitment in my life...Vision Happy, which will be the link to my photo
blog. If the Die Happy Design blog is about what I think and create than the
Vision Happy Blog will be about what I see. As of now it will be here on blogger: http://visionhappy.blogspot.com/ Vision Happy is all about looks and visual. It's a second relationship I formed...only I do not feel guilty of cheating :)

And so now, assuming that I actually stay committed to this beloved blog....my blogging will be a mix of backtracking the last 18 months of my life and what I am living in the moment, today. And boy oh boy, is there a lot to tell…so Hello there Virtual World! I may be ready to commit to you again...let's see where this relationship goes.
