Miyazaki Homebound 2.0

-
I remember H talking about how it seems the world is getting smaller and smaller.

I fully realized that today. Today was my third trip back to Japan. I didn't cry at the airport but now, as I am boarded in the bus bound for Miyazaki, I cry as I type this one.

My two older brothers took me to the airport. Second older brother (Kuya E) hailed a GrabCar service and carried my luggage until we rode the service car. He has to go to work after that. Oldest brother (Kuya L) took me to the airport and made sure I was inside the airport. When I turned back to say goodbye, he left already. I just shrugged my shoulder then did the airport travel procedures.

Top 3. We are the first three kids of the family. Me being the firstborn girl (3rd child). From L to R: Kuya E, Me, Mama and Kuya L.

My flight was delayed for 30 minutes but it was uneventful. I am just a bit of annoyed listening to other passengers about the things lacking on our flight carrier comparing it to the flagship airlines we have. I was tempted to comment that if they wanted to get premium service, they should have paid for premium service and didn’t opt for a cheap airline service. Oh people.

I missed my bed. I missed my room. It is far more comfortable compared to the dilapidated state of our house in Manila. But I will always come back to it coz it is home.

I just have to remind myself that one of the many reasons I got blessed to work abroad is so that I can give back to my parents, and then my sibs and I, we will all work together to build our mom and dad a far more comfortable house for themselves.

They deserve the best because they have sacrificed so much for all of us.

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.
