31 Dec 2020 Randomthoughts

-

I don't want to let the last day of 2020 pass by without writing anything. It is a tradition and will always be good to go down the memory lane for the past 365 days to see what had happened. Let's make a list of all the good and the bads that had been or maybe a resolutions list? 

Random thoughts, here we go...

2020...

1. ... It surprised me and it crushed me at the same time. Well, it happens every year, but I think this year things had been more visible in terms of knowing that there are other people suffering the same issues. 

2. ... The gym and working-out had been a great escape and means to keep my physical health and mental health in check. 

3. ... I stalled with the academic writing but that is okay. I just realized that one of my friends took 3 years to complete his thesis. 

4. ... The only race I have to keep up is the goal I had set for myself and my only enemy is my laziness at times. 

5. ... Getting that foreign driver's license was a major achievement for me for the year. I swear. 

6. ... Having the chance for do a presentation in an international setting was something I am grateful for and definitely I could say, one for the books! 

7. ... Investing is a continuous process. It doesn't really end, it just grows and it is a choice to let it wander  or grow further. 

8. ... I am looking forward to finishing off a lot of tasks in 2021 and getting back into academic writing.

9. ... One of these days, I will write how I want my wedding to be like because.... why not. Claiming was my word in 2020, Defining in details will be for 2021.

10. .. Grateful will always be the word how I had been in 2020.

11. .. Blessed, saved by Grace, will always be my adjective for myself.

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.
