What are the achievements you are most proud of?

Hmmmm... I can't think of anything that I can be proud of as my own achievement. Parang wala naman. LOL. But it melts my heart whenever other people say that they are proud of me. It's something we don't get to hear from someone every day.

Proud moment for me will be those moments that I see my students proud and confident of themselves and abilities.

Proud moment  for me will be to see my youngest sister graduate on her baccalaureate degree with my parents attending the event.

Proud moment for me will be to see my parents taking time to enjoy what they love to do.

Proud moment for me will be to see my siblings and the entire family having a noisy dinner or lunch at home.

Despite the imperfections, lack of a beautiful house and other material things, I will always be proud of the family where I came from, the parents who raised me, and the siblings whom I had a long history of petty fights and battles over simple things.

Other than that,  I don't think I can be proud of anything else.

One of the four pots of cacti plants I had is exhibiting signs of extinction. And since I have no idea how to revive it, I googled for answers and asked a friend, who suggested I give it bath. Clap. Clap. I will give it a bath tomorrow. LOL. (I'm that gullible.)

Spent the morning cooking food for the next three days. How I missed sautéed vegetables and tomato soup! LOL.

Then, went out early to ship the reading kits I promised my friend to India. With minimal aids of online translations, but with my chop-chop Nihonggo put to use, in more or less 30-minutes, we were able to pack and seal a 9.21 kgs parcel bound for India in 1-2 months. I opted to shoulder the shipping alone and just consider this as an investment to the children and teachers of that institution. I look forward to hearing stories about how it will make all the difference.

The Sony E-Reader I bought was supposed to be shipped today but I left early and so I would need to wait until tomorrow. Hopefully, they ship it before 10:15AM. Another Japanese challenge over the phone. LOL.

Work went as usual. Meh.

Excited to go home and open Wattpad for the updates on the stories I am following. Truly it was amazing.

Tonight, I just started leafing through the modules and wrote the drafts and still have more drafts to work on tomorrow.

Bukas, pag gising, bangon agad. 
Harinawa.

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.
