365 QOTD

What do you have too much of?

I have too much of......
.... scrolling in social media
.... too much daydreaming
.... too much plans

Hayst.

Today's QOTD was quite apt.

Deadlines are up again and I am getting overwhelmed about them pouring in. But rest assure that I am trying my best to approach all these deadlines with grace and calmness that I could mutter. Working on it.

Something interesting happened today. Someone sent me message in LinkedIn. Asking me to be more specific with my questions. So, in LinkedIn, there is this service that you can ask advice from so-called experts on certain fields that you have indicated and the system will bring up recommendations. I can't remember coming across that profile but he took time to look into mine and offered to talk about my queries.

Firs thing I asked of course, is if there is a charge for his time and service. After all, he had introduced himself as someone who had been in the international education sector for a decade and so, I would think that his time is precious and valuable but he said that it is for free and that he is willing to share what he knows that could probably help. He even offered that we can have coffee or lunch, maybe thinking that I am somewhere in Tokyo. I just said that I will just let him know the next time I fly to Tokyo maybe, I can set aside a time to have coffee with him. Apparently, he thought that everybody lives in Tokyo.

Meh.

As I explore career growth options, having someone interested to talk about it is quite refreshing and ego-boosting. Still, I have to take caution. Oh well, when an opportunity knocks, we just have the doors open.

For now, my goal is to finish that group paper, deliver the write ups for the raspberry pi team up and make the 4 lesson plans because I don't wanna submit any overdue papers.

And I have been sleeping past 12 midnight lately. Bad. Bad.

Because I am having too much of wanting to escape the loneliness I feel inside by keeping myself occupied with things that are meant to keep me productive and learning. Breathe Kat, breathe.

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.
