I hit another car.

-

 We ended up a nice dinner and I was really having a good time with the new friends I have made courtesy of V. We were planning of going to a coffee shop we all love going to but I haven't been there in a while as well. 

I knew I am gonna have a hard time exiting the parking space. I was taking my time. I forgot to release the handbrake coz the car didn't move as I step onto the accelerator. So, I moved my hand to release the handbrake, forgetting that I was stepping on the accelerator instead of the footbrake, the car just moved quickly, my right side mirror hitting the next car's right side mirror and my right front wheel, scratching the driver's door side. It was really bad. I couldn't believe what just happened and what I just did right there. 

I was so lost and I know I had to talk to the owner of the car. One of the new friends I made today, Y, was Japanese and offered to interpret for me and the other person, he called the police too. V never left my side and had been comforting me about it and just making sure that I am well. I called Y, the previous owner of Blue, about what just happened and he had been looking after me and even called my car insurance company to inform them of what happened right away. 

So many people are involved, have been giving their precious time to make sure that things are covered and that I am well. 

This day unfolded so many things to me. From the early morning shitty drama about someone whom I knew eversince will not be good for me, I am so grateful for C for taking time to talk things over to me. 

It was quite fun flying my drone to take footages of cherry blossoms before it got stuck. I had to swing up a bark of a tree and it fell on its own. Then, I let it fly a few more times. See I had an accident, but I didn't stop doing it anyway. I just learned a bit better. Or so I think. I learned how to take it down from tree in case it happens again in the future. 

Then, I had made it to the long drive back to the city. The parking space was a challenge itself. 

The accident might have taken some of our precious time for having fun but it made me realize a lot of things: 1.) Life is wonderful, as always said by V. I just really needed to hear that. 2.) There a lot of people who also are passionate about development work, as like that of Y. 3.) It is okay to just be yourself, as how M would just be himself. 

I drove Y back to his hotel and V and I drove back to the city. 

I got into the shower, readied for bed and I know I had just to write this one before I go to bed. 

It ended well despite that accident. All is well that ends well. 

Thank you Lord for today. As I declare taking a break from social media, know that my blog entries will probably be more frequent as I decide to write down daily stories and realizations.

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.
