Used and Abused

-
I was not part of the crowd but I have no choice but to pass through that crowd so I could get to the entrance of the mall. I didn't understand what the announcer on the stage was saying. All I wanted to do was get past the myriad of people and then take a breath of freedom in a safe place. I was so focused on moving and making my way, going against the crowd. Suddenly, the people began shouting and waving their flags. I had no idea what was happening!

I just wanna get into that door.

Then, altogether, they screamed, "Lusob!!!!...!" "Lusob!!!!...."

Fear crept all over my body. I felt stunned. I can't seem to move but I have to.

If I will stay there and not move, it would look like.... 

A cast of crabs spotted a prey and then trying to pull down on the prey on all sides....

A prey trying to cross a river full of crocodiles....

A human being in the middle of a zombie attack....

But I know I had to move and get going if  I wanna stay alive. So, my two friends and I swarmed into the crowd towards the stairs up into the entrance of the mall.

I was heavily panting as I gasp for air when we entered the mall. A safe place.

I will never ever forget that day.

Rather than anger, I felt pity for those people. They wasted their energy, effort and resources on something that is totally unreasonable and unjustifiable. They were used and abused.

    Natakot ka seriously? Nasa likod mo ako, secured ka baby kat! hahaha... Speaking of mod, sanay na sanay ako pumunta sa mob nung LFS pa ako. pero ibang iba ang ambiance last sunday. The energy, walang emotion kahit sumisigaw sila ng lusob! lusob! at sumisigaw ako ng SUSO! Suso! hehehe

      Oo fiel :( Hassle much. Superlate na din akong nakauwi dahil sobrang konti ng mga buses and cabs. On top of that, I lost my glasses pa habang naglalakad from Boni to Guadalupe. Akala ko nalagay ko sa case and kept it on my bag, yun pala, nahulog ko talaga sya :'(

      Well, there is really nothing good in the news lately... it's like 70% bad news. 10 worse news, 10 worst news and 10% good news.

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.
