What is your current favorite snack? 
gyoza and daiko oden and 7-11 cafe latte!

An interesting conversation stirred over winter soup, a glass of highball and a plate of gyoza. 

Tita G just came back from Manila and tonight we had our first get together for the year. Having been reunited with family and her long distance boyfriend in Manila, she seems to be in an all-time high feeling of love and holiday. Quite a lot of happy stories she had and will be holding onto until they get to be together again in the next few months. 

Suddenly, she mentioned...

"Ang babae, kapag nakita ng lalake na kayang dalhin ang sarili, independent, hindi na nila nilalapitan. Kasi nga, hindi na kailangan ng help." 

My being single will always be a hot topic, I suppose. But in as much as I can, I try to stir away from the topic. Diverting all my emotion into this online journal, because I know, not a lot of people are interested with that side, and in truth, I have been longing for someone and have been nursing the feeling of alone without romantic interest for quite awhile now. 

Am I a damsel in distress? 
Do I look like a damsel in distress? Most likely, no. 

I can manage my way on getting things-- personal IT problems, translation issues, purchasing, directions, money management matters, kitchen challenges, academic desires... ALL AT A SURVIVAL LEVEL. 

I hope men would stop looking at women as human beings to be rescued and protected. That their purpose in their lives is to be mainly a knight in shining armor and protector. 

But if that is human nature, I bet I am, like any other ordinary lady, I am a damsel in distress. 

It takes me awhile to figure out Left from Right. 
I am directionally-challenged. 
I am a bad cook. 
I am clumsy. 
I have very bad temper. 
I easily get distracted. 
I am so bad at managing my own finances. 
I easily get influenced. 
I have no vision of how to get rich, but I always love sharing my time and helping other people even though it means sacrificing a bit of my own personal time and resources.
I buy books I can't read at once. 
I can't focus on one thing because I want to learn many things. 
I am bad at figuring out people's intentions. 
I easily trust people. 

I am emotionally in distress, wouldn't that be enough reason for a man to rescue me? 

Apparently, I have learned a few survival though I still fall into the same traps endlessly. 
Hayst. I have lost most of what I want to write about this thing in my head. See, that's another thing, I easily forget. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone to remind me? 

I had a lot running in my head for this entry but I had forgotten about it because I got distracted by many things.  Oh well,  one of these days, I will write more about it. Hopefully, in a more collective and meaningful and worth-sharing structure. For the meantime, let this write up be as it is. Sitting quietly in my crib until it gets the chance to bloom as something Thought Catalogue-worthy. LOL.

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.
