Life of a Kat

Ikoma Kogen Kobayashi Miyazaki Prefecture Autumn Season Cosmos Festival 2021 

Today's achievement is a 520km trip!  Miyazaki > Kurume, Fukuoka (VV) A friend asked a favor of driving him for his passport renewal and so, I tagged another friend and thought of visiting another friend who lives in that city and it all went a blast!  Sometimes, things would really just have to be spontaneous like today. Coz no matter how much I try to put things and priorities in a certain way, the universe will always throw a curve ball. 

Taken as the ship moves away from a loading point bound for Odaiba Port.  *************************** As of today, I am taking a cold turkey treatment for the use of social media, mainly that of Instagram to give more time and attention to things that matters. It had been an ongoing battle and I think that is one necessary step, but still not the main one to go for. Still, I know that it will do me so well eventually.  Whatever I want to write in the future, I intend to write it here. Who knows, it might be something people of the future would find useful just how Stoics are finding so much to embrace about the thoughts of Marcus Aurelius in his Meditations :D  Yes, hun. I dream big and millenially in long term.  Slowly putting life in order. Again. Longing for the old routine, but we all know that is just not gonna happen anymore. 

This whole washing machine breakdown is starting to get over my whole being. Sinong mag-aakala na iiyak ako dahil sa di ko alam kung pano gamitin ang self-service laundry services dahil hindi ako marunong magbasa ng kanji characters.  Tapos biglang may mag-eemail na meron akong coverage lesson na akala ko ay today, pero when I took the time to pause and re-read the email, para pala yun bukas.  Napaka-importante nung Pause Moment. It somewhat recenters our brain to be able to re-act non-violently and appropriately to the situation we are facing.  At the moment, the Move stage has reached its peak level and I am taking a Pause in this Flow. Take note self, a Pause and not a Stop or a Change Course nor a Self-Destruct. 

Autumn is here. 

Monday, you have been stressful yet beautiful. Thank you for a day that rolled so tiring, boring and confusing yet allowed me to survive and  that I had my first ever non-ESL-related webinar for Filipino teachers. It had been an honor.  This outfit had been so comfy and flowy and just cutieee... haha

Losing my grip on many things and I am finding it so hard to not even move forward, I am having a hard time finding my way to get back on track.  I lost a week's worth of time to paying under the sun, scrolling on social media and just doing stuff necessary for survival and not really growth. And now, I am consuming time to keep repeating this mistake again and this is my very first vocal and loud acknowledgement of the shortcomings that occurred and deliberate irresponsibility that I had made.  After this 8th episode of Money Heist, Season 3, I'll go to bed.  I declare that before lunch time of today, I have prepared my lecture notes and powerpoint slides.

 Yesterday, we were just talking about Kuya getting transferred to a new hospital and then just today, he is being discharged and deemed an outpatient. Meaning, he will be on his own and will just be picked up at his home whenever it is time for his treatments.  I hope it all goes well. I hope he has someone with him at home to look after him. I hope I live close. But I am not yet ready to give up my life in here. So many things going on right now and I just need to calm down and talk to Kuya about so many things as to how he plans to go and move forward with the treatments.  Hopefully, with the local travel restrictions lifted, the international ones will also be loosened up and then we can have better arrangements for Kuya.  I dont want him to go back to PH sooner coz who knows what is coming up, it is election, the pandemic isn't getting any better in there and just all sorts of problems coming up and about.  I kind now understand the significance of craving ...
