Life of a Kat

Completed 13 Reasons Why and then started to read Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick wasn't a good idea. Now, I am in a way down low kind of feeling. Add the fact that it's my lolo's 2nd death anniversary today. Take me out of this darkness. Hug me tight and tell me that everything will be alright.

I had finished reading the book Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari. A very useful read, I should say.  Thanks Lubu!  It had given me a lot of things to think about as someone who is a millenial coz that is actually the main study/subject of observation of the writers. The very on-point and detailed descriptions and observations about online dating apps, really took my attention. It really made me think about my behavior as an active user.  Consider dating apps as introductory services. I totally agree with this. Online dating apps has made way for me to meet so many guys who works for different fields and interests. From the formal ones to weird ones.  In fact, my long time guy bestfriend, I met him thru MIRC, 10 years ago, I think. He would still check on me every now and then. And he met his fiancee thru Tinder. So, yes, he is a major promoter of Tinder to me. HAHAHAHA. A vast array of choices The wide variety of options had made it difficult to choos...

I said I had quit on Tinder. I actually did but before that, I was able to build a little circle of cyber acquiantances as my LINE contacts. (LINE is the most popular messaging app they have in Japan) With that, I was able to get onto a few dinner dates on the weekends, as of this writing, all of which were local Japanese. Usually on a Saturday since I work late on Fridays also. I met a few good guys. One was weird but still, it all went well in the end.  A few things that got me thinking in the end...... 1. Language Barrier.            It's very hard to communicate in speaking two different languages. How awkward it looked when we had to rely on depend on digital translator to keep the conversations going. No matter how I try to keep trying to ask for words in Nihonggo, some people aren't really that patient enough to teach others, I guess.  2. Getting Laid.        I don't know if it has something to do wit...

March 28, 2017 11:58 PM I noticed that I haven't posted any random thoughts since I came here... So... Let's go down the list: 1. I live alone, but I never ran out of dishes to wash..... There will always be a cup or a glass or utensils to wash. LOL. 2. Daiso is my baseline for quality which for most still happen to be of good Japan quality.  3. If I live in Manila, I probably would be buying a minimum of 5 books per cut off. Hardbound. 4. I need to finish reading Memoirs of a Geisha before the month ends.  5. Why did I even start reading the Pedagogy of the Oppressed? I wish I have somebody I can discuss it with. As soon I can get my thoughts about it collected, I'll probably just write about it.  6. Dandruff! Waaa... I didn't realize that suffering this is part of the deal. I keep trying different stuff, reading a lot about it in the internet but none of them seem to work.  7. I still need to learn the art of budgeting. Seriously. I fee...

How accomplished do you feel today? Me, I felt like the day just went by and I had done nothing anything significant at all. There's this side of my brain that keeps reminding me that I should be sad and sensitive. (F*c& these hormones!) while there's this other side of me telling that I should just keep myself busy and occupied so I wont have to entertain any negative ideas of sorts. It's hard to fight ones own thoughts. Indeed, our greatest enemy is ourselves. I've been busy the whole day. Doing this and that in school. Prepping for the new school term. Familiarizing myself with the new textbooks (which really sucks) re-arranging stuff inside the classroom and just labeling almost everything. I've been busy scrolling onto the social media again. Getting myself almost active on Twitter again. Hoping that at least, I can post something sensible that my crush would then take notice. That didn't happen today. Maybe I should tweet more and use more catc...

My Ex and Whys As any typical Filipino modern love story, they lived happily ever with all the "hugots" involved and all the supporting roles involved-- the pambansang bestfriend, the wingman, and the titas of manila. *** 365 Questions QOTD What advice were you given? ... my closest friend who's in Iceland advised me that I should never stop believing that there is the one which she emphasized in another statement that I should never stop swiping right. LOL. *** A Hug Where I'm at right now, every hug I get or I give out, it's just so valuable. It's rare. *** Cherry Blossoms Soon Cherry blossoms as per forecast, here in Miyazaki, will be next weekend. Hopefully it doesn't rain.

I want to tell stories. But I am very bad with storytelling.
