Carpe Diem

Seize the day. This is my motto for the year.

I had promised myself that I will sieze the day and live my life to the fullest, for this year at least.

Due to some (un)fortunate circumstances, I have been neglecting myself for a long time and I had vowed that I will make it up to me, for this year at least.

I am dedicating this year to me - my road for self-discovery continues.

Hence, I chose to start my working life as a teacher, so that I have time to complete unfinished responsibility, and have time to love myself and accomplish unfinished wishes. (Do not get me wrong, these are just bonuses, on top of my passion of pursuing a helping profession)



Carpe Diem - but there is so much that I want to do. There is so little time available, and money, and mental space, and courage.

I want to continue learning Japanese, but as of today, I've skipped half of the lessons.

I want to get a Class 3 driving license, but it is such a waste of time and money to do so since I already have a 3A.

I want to continue yoga, but I missed the registration date and have to wait for a month.

And of course, I have some crazy ideas, but I lack the guts to do it.

I want to help people, but I sometimes feel that I am being taken advantage of.

I want to write creatively, but I lack the flair for it.


I am such a greedy person, I know. How many things to do I want to accomplish in 365 days, or 8760 hours? Carpe Diem. You would never know when you will fall and bleed to your death in your own place while your family is sleeping in other rooms, would you?
