Happy, meaningful, tiring day

-
Today was such a wonderful day.

Happily meaningful tiring day to describe it.

It started out very early with jumping off the bed at 7AM. Grabbed the pot to heat water for coffee, turned on the laptop to watch an episode of Blacklist, I'm at Season 2 episode 11, if not for the morning appointments, I would have still been glued to it the whole day.

Come 8am and the ball started rolling, here and there and finally ended at 2:30pm. As soon as I was home, I stripped off my clothes and slip on the bed for a 2-hr nap. Woke up feeling hungry and I decided to go to the mall.

I realized that I really haven't done that kind of thing in a while. --
Going out alone and doing things alone, just like I used to do before I made good friends upon moving to Miyazaki. All of the days I was out, it was always with friends, to meet friends, or to be introduced to people.

I went shopping. I bought a few clothes. Experienced the struggle of choosing which restaurant to go while counting the calories for every food I would like to eat, finally ending up eating vegetarian omelet and then taking another round of walking into the mall, contemplating on buying new skirt or pants or shoes, and ended up buying four more pieces of tops because they were on sale.  Then, I dropped by the shop where we can get very cheap imported food and kitchen items and I bought a bottle of cheap wine, 5 bottles of ginger ale, a small bottle of extra virgin olive oil and a pack of mixed nuts. I am currently enjoying the feeling of nightly glass of wine with cheese and/or slowbread dipped in olive oil with balsamic vinegar.

The only thing missing was probably the random call from my sisters to which, I could have initiated myself, but didn't. Something I still have get used to doing myself. I will get there.

Some guy promised to come and visit me but when I said "No" when he asked if we will shower together, he obviously changed his mind and simply replied to my last message with "Have fun."

Today, I am reminded about the beauty of solitude and firm decisions. I would also would like to give myself a pat on the back for having the urgency not to do impulsive shopping. And I would like to tell myself to keep the randomness in life alive.

But, I still need to learn how to convince myself to get up and go for that morning run. It isn't just happening just yet. UGH.

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.
