Where did you spend most of your time today?

Where did you spend most of your time today?

I spent 9 hours at work today.
I usually go home for lunch break but rained the whole day so I had no choice but to bring my lunchbox to work.

I would like to think of this day as Terrific Tuesdays despite some inner failed expectations I had.

I woke up and got up and dressed up for my 30-minute pilates workout.

Prepped breakfast while listening to the audiobook of The Pedagogy of the Oppressed. I started reading this book last year but never really had the energy to digest everything because of the philosophical discussions that are too deep for my comprehension but for some reasons, listening to it, its thoughts made more sense to me. I am still on chapter one, so I still have a bit of a long way to go.

I worked on the outline of the final paper for this semester and I look forward to completing it by Thursday. Hoping that come Saturday, all I have to do is read more for the upcoming exams.

I went to work and tried to be as productive as much as I can.

It's some sort of a special Tuesday as my friends had organized a dinner party with a 10-liter Heineken beer barrel. They started the gathering around 7pm and I followed through around 9pm. It will always be the same circle of people I am comfortable to be my slacky and clumsy and funny self. We had pasta, vodka and specialty ice cream!!!!!! The ice cream part was the best.

I always had by siblings connected on the side, my youngest sending me filtered pictures of her, my mom and even our cats!

It is a terrific Tuesday in itself. And at the back of my head, it will still be more fun to have someone to talk to about it or share it with intimately.

Still, Lord, thank you for a good day, for all the blessings, and for taking care of me and my family and my friends.

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.
