Fourth day today. There was a typhoon for the past 2 days here in Manila so it was quite difficult to jog around and work some sweat out of me.
I was thinking if I should enroll at a local gym again, but I don't know. I just want to go back to kickboxing. Or maybe swimming. I wish I could transfer our swimming pool here instead of letting it gather mold and mildew back in the province. Actually, I wish I could transport myself to the province and spend a summer's worth of days there just letting time pass by as slow as it does when you're living in a big house with lots of trees, in the middle of a rice field, neighboring mountains.
I'm aware of it (and I think this makes me a tad bit more irked of myself) but I'm really not using the most of the time I'm given lately -time I'm given to work, time I'm given to sleep, time I'm given to maybe insert a workout, time to do some writing, and time to just do nothing. I really feel like I'm taking all this God-given time for granted. I tend to let loose of my focus too easily that only when under immense pressure am I able to put everything back into perspective again.
Work may get suspended, but deadlines don't. Yesterday I had 3 deadlines. My laptop was almost dying with only less than 50% of battery life, and we had no electricity all day. I was just chilling out, indulging in the cold winds and enjoying the safety I was experiencing under the roof of our humble home...
I slept half the day. I started working late in the afternoon. Equipped with the pressure of having only less than 2 hours on my laptop and very limited internet connectivity, I fixed the clutter in my head and took on each item one bullet of an idea at a time until I got to finish the whole thing, in approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes. I got to finish my 3 deadlines, plus a new one that was recently emailed to me when I was about to send my first 3.
Mission Accomplished. And all I needed was less than 2 hours on my laptop to finish everything.
I guess when you know you have less time to do what you have to do, your mind and body just completely realigns itself and you just know that you won't back down unless you've accomplished your goals.
I have 3 months to change the rest of my life.
(WEH)
But seriously. I really gotta get this stuck in my head everytime so I won't take the time I've been given for granted anymore.
I can't afford to. (gotta remind myself of this, too.)
