  The vow was perfect. A lot of guests came to the holy matrimony. Now I officially am redFLASH Valdez-Arigatai. The surname came from both of our surname, my husband and mine. Too much memory led us to the conclusion that we should keep both and use Valdez-Arigatai after the marriage. As both of us raised in a patriarchal family, we agreed that llCerberuSll will be the patron of The Valdez-Arigatai. But that doesn't mean that I will wash my hands out of this family. Accepting llCerberuSll's proposal to start a journey in life together wasn't such a hard question for me to answer. Some people might raise their eyebrows as they might be remembering the "war" between llCerberuSll and I back then when we first knew each other.  Even though we know each other only for a short period, every single second I spent with him brings me joy and happiness. It feels as if llCerberuSll and I rotate at the same orbit, and ever since we are inseparable. Well, of course there are days when we fight but at the end of the day, love conquers all.


Being the only child in The Arigatai family, where I was born in, I find that it would be wonderful to have additions in our little family.
It's not a hard task to find candidates to be invited and become part of our family, yet, to find a trustworthy, humble, brave and grateful one, sure is a challenging task to do.

The first discovery I made was WhiteWarr. Out of so many friends, WhiteWarr is my first pick since he is an old friend of mine, we knew each other for so long that I always refer to him as my older brother. WhiteWarr and his wife, Xiuling are closed to llCerberuSll and I. We shared a strong bond and stories of life, we help each other endlessly and always have each other's back.

Few Hyuls passed and I made my second discovery, in the form of Neharoo the Shikari. His humbleness fascinates me. He is always helpful to llCerberuSll and I. This brings us to my latest discovery, BaliBagoes. When I first met BaliBagoes, he was in such confusion. He said he didn't recognize himself as if someone hit him hard on his head and left him bleeding to death. Soon l decided to bring him home to llCerberuSll. BaliBagoes then promised to be a good boy and he started calling me by big sister and llCerberuSll by big brother.

Getting to know a lot of people, good and bad, fake and not, have been an interesting journey for me. Out of so many people out there, I'm proud to have found WhiteWarr, Neharoo and BaliBagoes. Having them and also llCerberuSll completes my life as well as turned it into a joyful journey.

I, redFLASH Valdez-Arigatai, will always be loyal to my husband as well as brothers and sisters.
