What's weird about today?

Weird today? Maybe...... that I got way more "maldita" than normal.

You know that type of person who only remembers you when they need something from you? Not even an intro of "Hi!" or "How are you?" to start the conversation. I was literally irritated that before I answered the question, I told the person that maybe next time he might want to include an introduction to his message first, a simple greeting at least. Then, I seenzoned his next messages.

Also, I tried to use my softskills with another person in terms of skills improvement.

From that bratty level then switch to angelic level. UGH. No wonder, my moodswings are over the edge.

Weird, right?

Today was quite normal. Tried to be "more" productive at work.

I also had my first teaching session for TOEIC Class, where I learned a new word:

明らか (な-adj)-- evident, obvious, plain

There is this part of the exam about photographs and one part of the test is looking into what is "obvious" in the picture. So, I had to dig into the word so I can explain it to my student. And I think, it will be one word that I will get to use often in the future.

Did a few backreading on my personal blog and it was just amazing to look back. My favorites were the stories I had during my teaching days in the public school. Nothing beats the realizations I had made during those days.

I got a copy of the novel Smaller and Smaller Circles by F.H. Batacan. And I intend to get a book copy when I get back home. I was thinking of rewarding myself a book purchase in Amazon.jp today but I hold off the thought since I am working on "delayed gratification" strategies for my goals moving forward.

I will need to write my 2017 yearend post before I fly back to PH because for sure, I will not have much time and energy when I get there.

I am not looking forward to the trips but I am more excited to just stay at home and annoy my siblings, eat home-cooked meals, go to Starbucks and collect stickers for my 2018 planner, and bum with our cats and my uncle's new ugly dog.

How's my heart? It will be okay. It had never stopped beating in anyway. I miss hanging out at my favorite place though. One day, I will gain the courage to walk that door and sit at my little nook and be "that girl" once again. I miss being invincible, a mere observer, a zero.

It's her time to go.

It's her time to go. I keep telling myself. Today, my former co-worker, E had already left for Hiroshima. She quit the company we used to both work for and had decided to find another job in another place for several reasons. I was hoping to see her before she leaves just so I can also thank her personally and wish her well on her way. I know it would have been emotional and wacky at the same time. She told me that she had intended not to see me because she is avoiding the emotional breakdown that may arise as she leaves the city. She has been crying all week-long, she said. I sent her a message telling her that another co-worker is set to resign and that I had decided to take a holiday flight back home at the end of December and be back on New Year's Eve in Miyazaki. I will be spending the last day of 2018 enroute back to Japan and welcoming 2019, either in a bus enroute to Miyazaki or in a capsule hotel in Fukuoka. Just because with the sudden changes, I may have di

​I weighed in and I’m at 55kgs today. I need to lose 7kgs to get down to my ideal weight.  I am filled with so much frustration right now about myself. I was able to reach it for 2 years and here I am falling out from it.  I am not sure which one I got so much high from, was the journey of being fit or being fit in itself. I remember telling myself that exercising and working out and seeing results of weight loss can bring a different kind of high, it’s addicting like everything else coz once you have somewhat reached a peak level of fitness in comparison to the previous self, it brings so much joy and confidence like never before. And I even told myself before, “If being fit is a form of addiction, this is the kind of addiction I would like to get stuck with for life.” I used to be the only one posting and sharing my fitness journey, now almost everyone who just used to message me about working out and weight loss, they are on the peak of achievement of their body goals.  It is so fru

 Second to the last day of the 9th month of the year. then, 3 more months to call it a wrap for this month.  If my life will be a content that I will curate a story from, I wonder how it will all turn out? Will it be a story people will be willing to pay for? Will it be a story I am willing to share to the world?  Am I willing to share my flaws? My bads?  Of course I am excited to tell the world my triumphs, my inspirations, my dreams, ..... my journey.  But it isn't easy. Even here, sometimes, writing can be very painful. Most of the time, I am just lazy to move and write.
