 A very calm, alone Sunday. 

I spent the morning doing chores, cleaning, throwing things that I don't think I will need a use for, making space for moving and breathing inside this little sanctuary of quiet I have created for myself. 

I was woken up by the usual morning family video call, surprisingly, it was Papa's voice that I heard first! Our black dog, Noggie, is limping. Just like me! But I feel much better now, actually. While waiting for the spin dry of my clothes in the laundromat, I took time to practice some drills. Still very light moves but it felt good to be out in the sun. 

Then, I just stayed home after that. 

I was able to go over my payables and savings for this month! It is actually short but I had been able to move around some funding to make sure that I get bills paid with minimal unpaid responsibility, at least for this month. 

I finally had the chance to binge on Designated Survivor, it had been on my downloads folder for awhile. 

I had to pause it for a bit to write a social media post for our island school's current condition and it had been heartbreaking. It is as if every chance I get to talk to the school director is precious. Knowing that she is well and still sound so jolly. A relief and a bit of fear at the same time. 

They are living on a different time from a few weeks ago, I can only imagine how hard it is. Being poor was something I am continually working hard to be out from and it is never easy. 

Then, I realized, if ever I will work for a president, I can work as a Speech Writer! Writing publicity posts for our island school stirs a lot of emotions in me and whenever I get to read back what I had written, I just am proud and amazed of how my brain works in weaving words and narratives. 

Last episode for Designated Survivor and I am calling it a day.

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.
