Are you happy?

Are you happy?

Trick question. There many things in my life that I am thankful for. Nonetheless, there is always a portion for a “but….”

I am happy to have a loving family and great set of friends but I wish I can give more to them.
I am happy to have a job, but I hope to get to teach in a real classroom setting soon.
I am happy to be single but I hope to find someone to talk to about my day, argue about things and just be in full surrender and be weak and meek.

********
Monday was quite busy.....

Pancake and strawberry banana milkshake for breakfast
Paperworks at Tully’s before work with Yoghurt and Acaiberry Shake
I grabbed onigiri before noon time. (Woohoo RICE!)
Worked on decorating the new branch of the school.
A back-to-back class in preparation for the student’s business trip to Vietnam.
Helped Tita pack her stuff for her flight to Manila. She was kind enough to carry my old phone for my sister.

Monday flew so fast. Way so fast. Tomorrow is Tuesday and I am still on the outline of my paper due on Sunday. The other one is almost finished though.

Oh well, it’s gonna be a new day. Little steps. Little steps.

As that Milo commercial would always say….. “Great things start from small beginnings.”

Going back to the question, are you happy? ......

I am thankful for everything. For the feeling of sadness that makes me appreciate all the happy moments in my life. For the feeling of lackness that makes me appreciate the good things in my life. For the feeling of belongingness that makes me realize that I have to contribute. For the feeling gratefulness that makes me realize that happiness is but a part of my being, not the ultimate goal. 

Strive to be happy- Desiderata.

    I can be happy. But my job is really sucking out all the happiness left in my life. It has changed me. Now, I will find happiness if I can burn down my workplace and my boss together. Anyway, push pa more!!!

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.
