Brain Dump on a Thursday

-

Let's go for an early morning brain dump. 

The other day, I was thinking of journaling and my introduction was supposed to be, "I don't like my body." 

I know! What a horrible thing to say to oneself, knowing that with this body, I had achieved and reached so many and afar. Probably the emotional roller coaster of the past few days. 

Today, I started calm. 

We woke up and of course, I felt the morning kiss on my cheek. An obligatory kiss. LOL. I asked him to do that to me, as the first thing to do when he wakes up beside me. 

I stayed in bed a little longer as he scour around the kitchen for his morning shenanigans. Then there's breakfast, then I am able to complete Day 1 of 30 of a Yoga Challenge I had put for myself. Not because I don't like my body but because it is time to give myself that tough love I deserve. Tough love because it is never easy to sustain, I know it coz here I am, whipping my butt and belly into shape again, as if its the hardest thing to accomplish in a day. Well, yeah, sometimes it is. 

I am happy to go back to this brain dump moments in my life, if ever I have a child or children to take care of and they would like to see a glimpse of my past and struggles, and of course, triumphs, this space will always be the perfect space to look into. 

As I go about my most favorite day of the week, I am nothing but grateful to the Lord for all the things He had bestowed upon me. 

What's the verse of the day? Let's check. 

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

—Ephesians 3:20-21


A wonderful reminder that there is great power in the Lord. 

I am powerful and wonderful and can do many great things because I have the Lord with me.

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.
