 Standing in my way right now is the lack of energy and enthusiasm to pursue anything that of writing could make me discover and for me to be discovered. 

If only I would be able to overcome this obstacle, I would that I would be able to present myself more professionally to the international community but most of all, be more of service to the NGO I currently serve. 

I need to learn to be able to budget my time, have more patience in reading books, procrastinate lesser, exercise better and of course, worry lesser about money. I need to convince myself that I can do all these, coz I know that I was able to do all of them before. 

I had always been using the same excuse of lack of motivation and energy and just regretted it every time. 

I would like to think that these obstacles are just my own fears of being rejected and non-relevant, with the longest running obstacle called laziness, I have let life pass me by and kept me wishing I was in a different place particularly in career. 

I have picked up on exercise again and signed up for this writing activity and it excites me that I am able to just let ideas flow and write like this again. I have come far, I just took a break somewhere and need to pick up my butt to start moving forward again, coz actually, in that of my masters degree journey, I am almost at the finish line and I really just need to keep going to get to the finish line.

The doubt if I am doing things right had always been my biggest obstacle and still is. And the loneliness that comes with it. I just did it the last time, I just have to do it all over again. Maybe the feeling of endlessness that comes with it. I don't really know.

​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

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

 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.
