Life of a Kat

I woke up early this morning so I can have the hotel breakfast. Burn minutes on scrolling on my phone and finally was able to dress up for a good run and rope flow. I didn't really run that much but I had big and fast strides and a few seconds of running then running out of breath. Still it felt good to be out in the sun in the morning. Was able to do some more writing, and drafting and prepping, and from today, I am cutting off the netflix and chill vibe until I get my training manual in progress and going and then complete.  This is one of the biggest project I would be putting myself into and I am excited and nervous at the same time.  Time for bed. 

 Kids are on the side and minding their own thing as we wait for other kids to come and have their monthly English lesson with me.  Today was quite eventful. It is still hard to wake up at 6:30 in the morning, but had been getting good sleep, nonetheless after a long day, is good.  **** Getting back to this writing past midnight but still dating it for 20th of Feb as I just burned hours checking on luggage that I don't think I will ever buy because I am cost cutting and I am hoping that I would get something at a secondhand shop tomorrow for a good price.  I really should be sleeping by now. Tomorrow, I wake up early for breakfast, go for a quick jog coz I don't really run, just wanna enjoy the weather and the warming days ahead, and get on with the writing I promised my dear friend for her birthday.  Also, I just got less than a month to prepare for the training that I wanna do, might as well do what I can.  Thank you for today. 

​A friend so close to me is coming to Miyazaki and will spend a few days with me and I couldn’t be more excited about meeting her at the airport later.  I can already imagine my excitement when its my family who will come here to visit me.  It’ll happen. In God’s perfect time. 

 Tita Meow goes Plantita in 2023!  Ending Month 1 with a couple new things I have never tried before: 1. Learning how to care for plants and 2. Getting myself my first (take note: first) snap and build action figure of a Hello Kitty x Gundam theme.  I had always watered my lola’s plants in the yard but never really bothered to learn about anything about plants until recently.  A lot of complaining about January feeling like a very long month and here is it, on it’s 31st day.  Hmmm. I wonder what the rest of 2023 has to offer? Well, the 11 months will definitely just pass by if you dont take time to slow down from the demands of adulting and life itself. Go and try something new, functional and maybe (?) sunstainable. If it’s new like taking care of plants like I am starting, let’s hope these living things learn to thrive with a non-greenthumb human being like me. 😁

 I asked him to pray for us before going to bed. He is probably sleeping deep by now.  And yet, here I am still typing this away.  I am away for the week and we seem to be ending our days with video calls and chats until the weekend.  It was a long day for both of us and at 11pm, I tried catching up with the book I’m reading and since he was a bit chatty, I asked that he finds a book to read for himself as well until it’s time for both of us to sleep. I want him near yet I want him quiet enough that I can concentrate reading. Lol.  I want to grow old that way. Ending the day with a good book, next to a wonderful lifetime partner, who knows how to pray and lead a home. For the meantime, Thank You for a good Monday.  May the week be filled with Grace.  

​My new iphone14 arrived today! It was supposed to come tomorrow as per website but it made today! Better than I expected. I was thinking I’ll get it on the 4th coz we got a long trip coming tomorrow.  This is actually my very first brand new phone in Japan. Every phone I got since I came here were either passed on to as used or I bought it second hand from an online shop.  I got it on a 3-year installment directly from the Apple Store and I am hoping to pay it off sooner as soon as I get my other payables covered, my car insurance set for next year, my car paid off and being more familiar and set on savings and more ideal investments onwards.   I haven’t really had a longer conversations with my family but I do hope to do it more often, way more often and way deeper conversations than the last year.  Long drive to drop off Jay tomorrow and I really hope she had a good stay with me for the past 2 weeks. It was quite a holiday with her. I’ll treasure it forever. ...

I dont know what to make of the past few days and the new days ahead.  I haven't sat down to do a review of the year it has been nor had I taken the time to work on my 2023 year compass.  Today, I had my very New Year sunrise viewing experience and it was exhilarating.  The sun had always been a friend to me. As a morning person, it gives me energy.  In the afternoon, we watched Avatar and it reminded me of so many things I love to do such as yoga, archery and free-diving. In 2023, I don't aim to accomplish more, I just aim to get to finish the unfinished tasks and commitments I had made.
