Hashtag Semi-Murakami Feels

-
So, I have been doing longer walks the past few days back and forth for work on a daily basis.

This morning was extra special as I met two of my former students on my way to work. R-chan hugged me so tight the moment she saw me. Then, when I turned left, I saw Y-chan who seemed so surprised to see me as well. LOL.

Roughly a 20-30 minute walk at a rate of more or less 3000 footsteps, it is just so boring, slow and just really boring. I am fighting the urge to feel unproductive and disappointed about it but at the same time, I am thinking of a lot of things in my head as well. So, I am not really calm inside.

I try to observe more of the outside and people around me. I am thinking of getting a handheld voice recorder to document my day or maybe do a walkthrough of my daily path as well.

I have been wanting to try out doing vlogs but I am just really lazy to do it.

I can't even commit to writing on my journal on a regular basis and now I am thinking of starting a vlog. LOL.

Just realized that I am having some Murakami vibe as I start talking long walks recently. But as for him, it was when he was running. Maybe someday, I will be able to write a book about the thoughts that ran into my head just like Murakami was able to have written books about the thoughts in his head while he was running.

So far, the walkathon continues while the paper remains blank. Except for my daily dramas in life.

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.
