Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 18

Today is the last day of my daily blog. A lot of people misunderstand me. They thought that I am just enjoying and having fun here just because I am living in their dream country. What they don't know is that living here is difficult. It may look easy, but in reality, it's not. People here are striving very hard for their living. Some of them don't even have their own family because they are too focused on their careers. Love is only their second priority. You can even see old-people still working 8 hours a day. There are no judgments here. They won't care about other people's life because they are too busy managing theirs.

It has been so much fun writing and sharing my day with the media. I can gather and express my thoughts freely. This might be the last blog I will be posting, but the learnings will forever remain on me. I hope you enjoy reading all of my blogs and I hope it inspired you in some way. Always believe and never doubt yourself. Your confidence, faith, and self-love will be your greatest weapon through everything. Have a nice day and God bless.

Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 17

I call this a chill day. There's no such pressure at work today because the company is busy doing other stuff. I slept late yesterday because I did a lot of things. Because of it, I was kind of sleepy while working. I tried hard not to fall asleep so that I won't be scolded by our shines. My neck keeps on hurting since I am too focused on watching and controlling the food production.

When its time to get home, I made sure everything was fine and perfect. I brought home my gloves and boshi so that I can put them in the laundry. Finally, when arrived home, I sigh in relief that I can now rest.

I still have a lot of rice to eat and challenges to face in continuing my journey. But I have a lot of faith that I can do this. I believe that I am capable of a lot of things. I believe in myself as much as how my parents believed in me.

Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 16

Wednesday is another busy day. I Woke up early in the morning to prepare for work. Even though my body was still aching, I still pursue to go to work. When the clock strikes at 7:00 am, I started walking even though it is cold and windy. At work, there are a lot of problems occurred. The machine kept on having trouble, the temperature inside was too low, foods had a lot of damage, and many more.

When I got home, I take a nap, rest for a while, eat my dinner, and wash the dishes. Then I took a bath to refresh. After a while, I started doing my homework and blog. This has been my daily routine ever since I moved to another country.

Even though it is hard, I won't give up reaching for my goals. Even though I will have to face a lot of challenges alone, it will never be a reason for me to stop. I need to focus and be wise. What is important is that I know my priorities and limitations. Smile, prayer, and faith are the most important things in my life right now.

Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 15

Today is another tiring but productive day. My workmate was on leave because she needed to attend the graduation ceremony of her daughter. As a result, I was alone in our work area. My body was aching, especially my shoulder and neck. Even from the very beginning, it was already stressful because the machines are having troubles. Because of it, I needed to do a lot of work since I'm alone. Thankfully, some of the leaders arrived and helped the operator fix the machines. My hand was freezing because I was doing some work beside the freezer.

Even though I'm still new here, I have already learned a lot. Life lessons, being independent and brave to conquer any circumstances alone. Yes, it is hard, but as long as I am goal-oriented, I will surely continue to fight for my journey

Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 14

We don't have a class today for both subjects because of the webinar. It was announced that attendance during the webinar is a must and will be recorded. However, I was not able to attend because of work matters.

I have missed all of my classes, and it is difficult for me to manage my time. Right now, I am trying my best to continue my studies while working. I work in the morning to afternoon and I self-study at night.

Every day is tiring and stressful, but I need to continue to reach my goals. I still smile even when I'm super tired because this is what I chose. Sometimes I talk to myself in the mirror or read quotes for me to be motivated. I reject negativity and embrace positive thoughts.

Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 13

Sunday is supposed to be a family day. A day where family relatives reunite, go to church, eat together, do leisure, beach day, go for a drive, watch a movie together, and other bonding activities.

In my case, I am far away from my family. Instead, I spent the whole day with my roommates and other friends. Some of them took the confidence to share things that bother them. Luckily, my friends are good at giving pieces of advice. They have helped a person in overcoming a problem.

I realized that it is relevant that we choose the right people. People who can be with us through success and failure. Who are not afraid to call you out when you are on the wrong path. I am lucky that even I'm still new here, they welcome me with open arms.

Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 12

It's Saturday, I have no class and no work. What I did for the whole day is bond with my workmates and some of my newfound friends. We took dinner together and talk about our lives.

Since I'm away from my family, it is nice to have friends I can rely on. People who are providing positive and fun vibes. They are also the type of people who makes things easier for everyone. Even though we all had such a tiring day, it vanishes when we are together.

Personal development - Daily Blog Day 11

I have missed a lot from my education. I am confused every time there is an activity that needs to be finished. I just got home from work, and I am super tired, sleepy, and drained. My body is sore and aching. I still have plenty of things to do, but I only have a couple of hours to do all of it. It feels like my mind and body are soon going to explode. After I post this blog, I will immediately go to bed and rest because tomorrow is another day.

Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 10

From now on, I am not just going to share regarding academic matters, but also about my work. Since I have work every weekday from morning until afternoon, I cannot attend my synchronous classes. Instead, I always ask for recordings and submit the requirements so I am going to be excused from class.

I work at a food factory here in Japan and I live here alone. My family is not with me and it is one of the reasons I need to be independent. I wake up early in the morning to prepare, cook, eat heavy breakfast, and go for a walk. It is very tiring to work especially because my body is still adjusting. Sometimes I sleep late because I still need to do a lot of things at home. I need to clean, take a bath, do laundry, cook, and do school works. As of now, it's kind of hard adjusting to a new environment and new people.

These are the only thing I am going to share for now. The situation I'm in might be difficult and complex, but I know that I can overcome all of this. I need to focus on my goal and always look at the bright side. I need to strive because I'm alone in here. I am thankful that I have family and friends I can talk to at any time. They are the people I can rely upon and trust at any moment of my life. The people who always support me, make me laugh, smile, and assure me.

Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 9

This is the last day for the first two subjects in the second semester. I won't keep this blog long since we didn't do much during the day. Students like me took an exam with the help of using an online platform. I multi tasked when I took the exam because I was not at home. I am processing some important documents with my mother. I really enjoyed the first 8 days of my class. It gave me a lot of lessons that I can use even in everyday life. I am thankful that my teachers discussed and guided us well, not just on being a responsible student, but also on being a responsible adolescent.

Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 8

Today is my daily blog day 8. My day didn't start well because I've been crying early in the morning, remembering those sad and hard days of my life. I decided to burst it all out so that I'll be okay after. I tried listening to some songs and reading motivational quotes for me to feel better. I tried to put myself together before attending the class.

When the class started, I was out of focus and was still emotional. I really tried to listen to the discussion but something is bothering me. Then suddenly, someone messaged me, giving me words of wisdom and lifting me up. After reading the message, I felt better and was able to focus on the middle of the discussion. 

I am very thankful that someone looks out for me and is always there for me whatever the situation is. It is really important that we surround our self with positive people because through them, we are able to disregard the negativity in us. They help us have peace of mind and be confident in ourselves that we can overcome the hard times. Let us help and look out for each other.

Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 7

I don't really have much to share for this day because there's nothing worth sharing. I was not able to do something productive and my day was full of pain. It is because it's the period of the month and surely, girls understand what I'm saying. What I did for the whole day are eat, sleep, and watch my favorite films. I spent my whole day at my bed, lying down while watching something for me not to get bored. Also, whenever I try to sleep, the pain makes me uncomfortable. But I just keep in my mind that this will be over soon and I just have to endure the pain for now.

Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 6

Today is Saturday, we don't have a class schedule for weekends. Since I have nothing to attend to, I just did some household chores such as sweeping, taking the dogs for a bath, and doing laundry. Half of my day was spent doing these chores before I take my lunch. I made sure that I finished what I need to do for the day.

In the afternoon, I spent my time in bed because I had severe menstrual cramps. It's like my body was glued into my bed and not be able to move. The pain always makes me uncomfortable, and it somehow changed my mood.

I can say that this experience of mine is considered an example of challenges that an adolescent encounter. We girls have a monthly period and the pain, mood swings, and cravings are really normal that we can't control. Sometimes it is stressful but we have no choice but to endure the pain. Because this is part of being a woman and we have to embrace it.

Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 5

Since this is my daily blog, I am going to share something memorable in my day. In the morning, I attended my online class, listening to the discussion while writing down notes. The topic discussed was all about Effective Communication and things that influence the behavior of an adolescent. It is explained how people and our emotions influence our behavior. In the adolescent stage, most teenagers have a hard time coping up with emotions and facing challenges. This causes them to feel stressed and conscious. But I’ve learned that everyone can overcome challenges and expectations as long as they think positively and have support from someone dear to them.

While in the afternoon, I went to our campus to get my official school ID for grade 12 and I make time to bond with my friends. It’s been a while since I saw them again, so we decided to spend and enjoy the day together. We went to the mall to eat together and played arcade games. Also, we attended the google meet while we are at the mall. It has been almost 4 hours spending my time with them. But with all of these, I can say that my day is full of happiness and joy.

Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 4

The discussion today is still connected to the topic being discussed yesterday. However, it focuses on the challenges that adolescents are experiencing and how we can overcome these challenges. It is known that adolescent individuals will face a variety of challenges because of their initiative and cognitive development. This causes them to make choices and actions based on their decisions. Some adolescents are facing issues such as teen pregnancy, anxiety, rebellion, peer pressure, emotional changes, alcohol abuse, and many others.  

Since I am also an adolescent, I have noticed some of the problems and the pressure given by our society. This is why it is really important that we have someone we can open up to. It can be our friends, loved ones, God, or someone we are comfortable talking to. Since emotions are hard to control, the support and motivation from these people will give us the strength to face the challenges. Their presence and advice are enough for us to handle the challenges, continue to grow, be responsible, and succeed. We need to remember that we are not alone, there is always someone who cares for us, who is willing to listen to our problems, and will always be there to show us support.

Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 3

I want to share what happened during the third day of class for the second semester. As usual, I started my day with a prayer, a stretching, and proceed on having my breakfast. While I was waiting for the class to begin, I studied the lessons that were being discussed for the first few days because it was announced that we are having a long quiz. Also, I was the one assigned to lead the opening prayer but unexpectedly, I am having some trouble with my microphone that caused me to panic. But thankfully, it functioned well again.

The discussion is all about the adolescence stage and development of a person. During the discussion, our teacher tackled the changes, improvements, and development that are present when a person is in his or her adolescence stage. The physical appearance, cognitive, socioemotional, behavior, and thinking of an individual will develop into something better and mature because it is the stage where childhood is transitioned into adulthood. The stage where a person can make judgments, decisions, and other serious matters by his or herself.

The discussion is very relevant to us, adolescents because it will give us a deeper understanding of it and we can help those people who lack knowledge about the topic. I personally like the topic because it will not just benefit me, but also, I can guide my younger sister and some of my cousins who are now facing the adolescence stage. Now that I have the knowledge, I can guide them properly so that they wouldn’t be afraid and confused by the changes happening to them.

Personal Development - Daily Blog Day 2

Every day I learn new things, but I consider today as a special day. I woke up feeling blessed but at the same time, I felt lonely. It's like there is a part in me that is missing and I don’t know what that piece could be. I don’t know the reason why I felt that way, but when the first subject started, my attention immediately got caught by the topic. It made me realize a lot of things that I am not aware of or things I lack an understanding of.

During the discussion, I was carefully listening to our lecturer while staring at the screen. It was written that our body, mind, behavior, attitude, and feelings develop as time passes by. It taught me the connection of the mind and the body, which is very essential for me before I do actions and judgments.

I am thankful to our Personal Development teacher and for the lesson that was discussed today because it really answered my questions on why I am different from who I am before. Also, I now understand the importance and benefits of taking care of our body as well as the mind and how these two are connected.
