The Kiss

-

My phone battery juice is at 10%.
I decided to just stay at the coffeeshop to wait for him.
He said he needed more time to do something. I took that as a sign that he won’t come and I just have to finish my readings then head home.

He said he is on his way.
Battery juice at 3%.
10mins. 15mins. I turned and as I was about to pick up my bag and head home, there he was. The handsome face. I had seen it again. I thought I will never see it again.

He saw me as well and walked towards me.
I was smiling though I really felt tired already after a day’s work and reading and answering forum discussions for almost 1.5 hours. He stood in front of me, lowered his head and kissed me, it landed on my left cheek, very close to my lips. We were standing in the middle of a bookstore next to the coffee shop with a very few people around. The guy sitting next to me obviously saw the whole scene.

For a Japanese guy, his ways aren't totally that of a local.

He looks like the man from the romance stories I read for guilty pleasure- chiseled, clean-shaven face, clean-cut hair, broad shoulders and chest, tall and confident.

We sat on a table, next to each other. He noticed me folding my arms in front me, as if I am closing/protecting myself as I talk. He asked if I were aware. I said, “I think, I am.” I just can’t help it. He asked if I knew what it meant and why I do such. In my head, I know that I am protecting myself from him and that physical attraction I am feeling.

He held my hand and kissed me. This time it’s deep. This time, I let go. I didn’t stop myself, nor him. I didn’t put any logic to it. Just gave into the moment.

It was surreal. Being kissed again. Me, being kissed by Prince Charming.

Then, it’s time to go.

He will fly back to Germany and I will stay in Miyazaki.
When he comes back, I will most likely still be here.

There is no story to tell, only a moment to write about. There is an uncertain future to look forward to  yet always full of surprises.

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.
