Adieu, 2025. I thought about starting this blog with a reflection of the past year’s trials and triumphs. But with a 3-year-old and 1-year-old at home, I can hardly remember what I did last week, let alone last year. (I wonder if this part of parenthood ever gets better…)

Instead, I thought about the things that I want to remember when I reflect again in one year’s time. Here is what I’m most looking forward to in 2026:

  • Bringing my daughter to the Philippines for the first time
  • Seeing the World Cup in Boston and Toronto
  • Celebrating America’s 250th in Boston
  • Attending my brother’s wedding in Chicago
  • Finishing my master’s in data science at Harvard

Have a blessed new year, everyone. À 2026 !
