For one thing to be fair, ganito ako mapagod. Parang sige lang, activity lang after activity, keme lang ng keme, pero after few days, one week akong 'feeling' pagod, wala sa mood, irritated, grumpy - like waht what I am feeling right now - bago makarecover ulit. Know your body.
Anyhow, I just need to update this blog on a saturday summer afternoon, bago pa mapuno ng mga kahanashan ang mga susunod na araw ko dito.
I am back in this city on a summer season. Work-related, parang back to back to back lang ang peg, the weekday schedule is full packed, weekend lang ang pahinga. Can't complain. It has been 1.5+ years since the last time I was here - it was winter, February 2018. I left this city with a hope to heal and recover from home, and perhaps promise not to come back unless healed. Ganoong mga drama lang. Nakarecover naman. So, here I am again trying to get back the feeling again ang peg. Harhar.
Old. Could not help this feeling. Perhaps this fatigue. It dawned on me, big time, here in this city, kagabi habang may send off sa colleague ko - I think I am ageing. Wala akong magandang picture! Ang hahagard! Gosh. I don't like it. My knee jerk reaction was I realized I have not had facial since at least four months ago, have not had good massage since three months ago, a good foot spa and mani-pedi since at least three months ago (puro lang nailcutter), a good honest-to-goodness vacation (like one week beach) since I came back to Manila. I mean! Where is the Wellness now - to counteract 'ageing'? What have I been doing? And now I feel like I am tired and I feel 'old'. Gusto ko sana when I feel tired, glowing pa rin ako at matte ang finish ng face.
Sleep - the best antidote to ageing. But I cannot even afford to sleep 7-8 hours a day. Ito ang unang wish ko sa sarili ko ngayong taon. Forming habit is difficult. Blame my smartphone. On the average 5-6 hours lang ang sleeping time. Need to perfect this. Siesta on a saturday can help. Subukan ko after this entry post.
Top Three of the Day- heard about this in a random podcast about productivity. To have a more productive and balanced, fulfilling day, it is encouraged to just do three things in a day - not necessarily interrelated but they should form part of your bigger goal. It may be as simple as decluttering your table to attending a friend's wedding. It can work and in particular, it will keep you from doing all things at the same time. So what's my top three of today - rest, blog, read office documents later at night, job hunting later at night, and catching up with my siblings later. Yeah, that's five. That's the challenge - how to trim them down to three.
Yung neighborhood ko dito, it's so...real. Parang nasa Poblacion, Makati area lang ako, with all the spaghetti wires and pa gandahan ng concept ng coffeeshops. Pero to be fair, my hostel for 23 nights feels like home. Daming afas (a foreigner in seoul). Good reviews naman ang hostel. Lerd, bekenemen puwede - 23 nights din ito! Bekenemen pwedeng kumeme or sana mag converge ang pagkeme. huhu.
Wish ko lang hindi ako mapagod dito - in all spectrum of things, especially the physical, mental. Isama mo na rin ang financial aspect of it. Like sa financial, lunch (12 usd+ and coffee and cake (12 usd+), nakaka 24 usd na ako or 1,200 Php at least for today. Normal kain na ito ha. Hindi ito fancy.
Anyhows, I just feel tired on a saturday afternoon. Thanks for hearing me out.
