3-in-a-Row!

-

It’s past bedtime and I just finished booking my flights!

On September 13, I will be taking 3 flights in one day. 

I already had set my heart that I won’t be able to join the first ever Asia Pacific Alumni Gathering in Bangkok in September.

I had already set my heart for a series of disappointments, self-pity party and just nothing else. Then, things just started pouring in.

God is just so good and the universe conspired.

A notice of a 5-day business trip to Tokyo by the end of August is like a post-birthday trip in itself. 

Flight seat sales came in, allowing me to be able to book very cheap-priced flights. I was also able to work with my manager about  my holidays.This was actually the hardest part of it all. I had been requesting changes with my summer holidays because I couldn't make up my mind. I have been trying to align it with a dear friend's holidays because I want to take a trip with him. I told him about my upcoming trip but I don't know if he can come along. I hope everything will really do fall in its rightful place eventually.

I am excited, because with this trip--

The convention it itself will be a refresher of how it feels to be with like-minded people and those pursuing equality in education for everybody.

I will be able to fulfill my dream of visiting Cambodia. I don’t know what is with that country that I really wanted to see it. Maybe my frustrations about Temple Run before or my fascination with history and old things and figures.

I will get to fulfill that yearly vow of meeting one of my dearest friends in the world, I also consider him as my mentor because his wisdom and humility are things I also want to have in my life.

Also, if schedules aligned, I will be able travel with somebody.

Yes, this is it. I hope to weave wonderful stories in it.

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.
