What was in your email today?

Today, I received an email for my inactive Couchsurfing app-- a message from a couchsurfer from Hyuga, Miyazaki, asking if he can stay for 1 night in my place.

Hmmm.. If it were my younger self, I would probably have replied Yes in impulse. But now, that I am a bit older and an overthinker, I quickly replied No and sent him a message apologizing, saying that I have to work late.

Well, I technically work late. Until 11pm since my online classes are already booked for that evening.

**********

I didn't realize that I haven't properly deactivated my Couchsurfing profile that's why I still got the message. So, today, since I'm off, I took the time to click on the Deactivate button and hopefully, wont be receiving surprise emails from it any longer.

I remember telling my JP friends about a couchsurfer request last year and their reaction was, it was unsafe and that if I want to, I should let one of them sleep in my house as well to protect me. LOL. Since then, when I rejected the request, I never received any message until today. I know that my friends were just worried about me and my safety and so I have to be more careful about myself as well.

Plus, I 'd rather not meet someone late at night again just for the sake of getting to know somebody. I'm not in the mood for surprises nor evening meet ups. For now, I am still hooked into the last meet up I had with someone whom I met mid-morning at Misdo and whom I really found handsome and smart. Add the decision I had made that I am resigning from online dating apps and meeting new people unless otherwise serendipitous in nature or introduced by a common friend or family.

Today, I really didn't feel alone. My Filipina friends and I went for a lunch buffet, I think the name of the restaurant was Farmer's Restaurant, famous for its vegetarian buffet. It was good and worth all the money. After that, we went to the mall for shopping and I got a tank top I will use in Okinawa and a blazer which I am not sure if I will get to use soon.

Went home and did chores. I feel so accomplished doing the chores. LOL.

Did a few nihonggo vocabulary review and I am off to bed soon after this.

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.
