How many pushups can you do?

I think 5 in a row. LOL. Still weak and lazy and fat.

******

I woke up feeling a bit better this morning and was even able to prepare a nice breakfast and lunchbox.

I went to the Japanese Conversation class but felt a bit disappointment because my teacher was absent and that since it has been becoming more popular than ever, more and more students had been coming and my regular test-taking practice is affected. I thought of just leaving but it might be taken negatively by my other Japanese teacher who would always give me something to eat before I leave for work after every class. So, I just stayed there with the new student and tried to enjoy the conversation.

Work had been uneventful. My to-do list is still filled and adding up. I like it better that way. Keeps me occupied.

My higher level class were all wonderful and I am just happy to see them relaxed and confident about their speaking capabilities. The other private student seem to have developed the skill of building meanings through context clues. Though it still takes a bit longer than usual to draw out her conclusions verbally, she is showing that solid foundation of language understanding through the clear definitions she would provide for every question I throw at her. I just cant help but be amazed how these kids are just so gifted and intelligent.

I walked home, forgot that I should have taken my bike so I can drive to McDo early morning tomorrow but then I realized that it makes it all better. I had to hurry back home to chat with my sister because my uncle was sent to the emergency room due to back pains. It appears that uncle has been suffering from poor nourishment. Obviously, because Tita stayed in Australia and we all knew that uncle wasn’t really a good meal planner.

I had to do a quick check on my youngest sister, how she is because I know that she is still trying to do the things I used to do for the two families of ours—looking after our parents and our uncle and aunt. She said that she is okay with and told her that if she isn’t comfortable about anything, she has to speak up rather than just blindingly following orders. She told about my father looking after uncle, how he took time to buy medicine for him and made sure he is okay.

I told her that we, as siblings, should be like that as well. That she should feed me, look after me and buy me Jollibee :P Haha. Of course, I know that we will always be there for each other. No matter what.

Did a 50-item Kanji test and still above 50% rating. I will need to keep reading and studying. Exam is coming up.

I posted a picture of me in Instagram today. Every now and then, I think I need that dopamine dose. I would honestly say that it felt good receiving compliments from family and friends. But I hope not to get overdosed and be drowned with social approval. Another thing is, posting on social media every now and then keeps the folks calm and lesser worried.

Tomorrow is Saturday. Then, one more sleep and I will have a chance to go surfing again!

    wall push-ups lang ginagawa ko dati, sa loob pa ng cr para magising before maligo or ma-stretch ganun hahaha! mga 16 counts lang naman lol

    siguro usual lang sa mga father (o lalaki, tulad ng uncle mo at ng tatay ko) na hindi sila ganun ka-conscious sa pagpa-plano ng pagkain, basta meron na, yun na yun eh :)

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.
