I try really hard to keep myself busy with something new every day.

And although things aren't so bad at the moment, there are still a few ups and downs that, like, you know, make life spicy.

So here's a weekend.

Hey, guys, how's it going?

It's Michaela.

And today I'm enjoying a lovely stroll around old Horny Park in the center of Fukuoka City.

It's a beautiful, gorgeous day today.

We just had an awful typhoon blow by.

It was crazy and stormy until yesterday and then today.

Post type within the weather is so gorgeous, although a little bit windy still, today, it's video starts off at one of my favorite spots, holding park.

This'll has become a popular place for visitors to Fukuoka, so I want to show you a little local spot that I really enjoy.

Walking around Gopal Matsu is the neighboring area to the park, and the back streets have tons of character.

When Starbucks in the park is too crowded.

A short walk to know Paul Matzo will bring you to one of my favorite local cafes.

Days Cafe is a quiet little cafe, only a short walk from the park.

The drink list is extensive, with non coffee options available a swell, and there are light snacking options to like sandwiches, scones and cookies.

The cafe is operated singlehandedly by its owner, who also bakes a mean cheesecake.

It sells it really fast up, so if you see it, consider yourself lucky and give it a try.

The best part for me is that it has one outdoor seat available, which makes it a perfect pit stop during a walk with my two dogs.

The rest of Robot Matsa has interesting side streets and traditional shops that make it interesting for any visitor to Japan.

Don't forget to also check out the massive go Coco Shrine when you make your way back toe park.

Hey guys, how's it going this morning?

I'm up early.

I'm heading to the hair salon to finally get my cares Cut already cut the tips once already out of frustration just because it's been so long since I've gotten a haircut, I haven't had, like a financial stability to get a haircut in a really long time.

I've been dealing with, like the aftermath of separating from my partner, which includes, like, I don't know, paying with pets paid for the car.

The car's broken by the way.

The car's broken.

I can't use it.

And I'm still paying $150 a month to have it parked in my apartment complex So that car has to go.

And that's happening this weekend.

That's coming down from Tokyo to do it a little bit stressful, to be honest, like I'm a little bit nervous about how I'm gonna feel when I see him.

Like we haven't seen each other for about four months.

We broke up at the end of April, and then he moved out in June, and now it's almost October.

So when he comes to get rid of his car, I'm gonna see him.

And uh, that's I don't know, I don't know.

That has nothing to do with why I'm cutting my hair.

I'm cutting my hair is like for the first time in the past few months after like scrambling and like getting a job and like trying to get money cash flow in like a stable place again, I finally have like a little bit of financial leniency.

I can finally afford to cut my hair and not cut it at home.

Yeah, here we are.

Way have decided that we're going to give me a nice fall.

Long bob along.

Uh, that's gonna be a little bit longer in the front and shorter in the back with All right, It's supposed to be a long Bob, but I don't really want it back.

And then a bit longer in the front.

And I got the bangs back, which I'm really, really, really happy for, because they were in my face and I was constantly pushing inside.

And now I have them here, and I actually feel like this is improved my overall.

Look like I feel time here, I'm gonna show you my reflection.

Like when my when my hair was like from beef, I felt huge, like I felt really, really big.

And now that everything's, like small again, like my face look smaller, I feel like overall, like a lot cuter.

Uh, I'm really glad I did this.

I'm really glad.

Thank you very much.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

Okay, So I am wearing my running shoes my leggings.

My official Taylor taught merchandise, and I'm heading over to the gym right now.

I'm supposed to be going to the gym twice a week.

I have not been going to the gym twice a week, and so I predict that today will be a very tough day as I tried to get back into it and established routine.

It's just like past few weeks have been really draining and tiring, and I never have the motivation.

But today I had nothing planned, so forcing myself to go.

So here's Joe.

Joe has been training me very hard for, like, a few months.

So our once a week I hate it.

I hate it because it's always so hard.

When I get here, you makes me do things that I don't want to dio, right?

Yeah.

Exercise.

Yeah.

So we're gonna start with her shoulder, I think.

Okay, I like that.

You clearly exercise wise because what else?

You never know.

You never try, toe.

I'm not gonna tell you any time, so just hold on.

Ready.

Because I'm so bad at high intensity.

Exercise is like running Joe has me focus on weight training instead.

We do five sets for each exercise, which maybe doesn't sound that hard but always guarantees I'll have muscle pain the following day.

I don't want to do this anymore.

Thank you, Joe.

When I get home, I have roommate duties were pretty good with working as a team, and one of the things I'm in charge of is making food.

It's something I really enjoy, and we get to save a lot of money by eating at home, so I don't mind doing it at all.

Food is a creative outlet for me and planning what to eat based on what's in the fridge is always a fun challenge that give me a chance to eat things I wouldn't necessarily be able to find at a restaurant in Japan.

Good morning.

It's like 7 a.m. on a Monday and the weekend has passed by and that's it was supposed to come this weekend, too.

See the Pats and pick up his car and dispose of it.

And, uh, we're supposed to meet yesterday for lunch and around just before lunch.

I got a message from him that said he missed his flight and that he wanted to reschedule, and so I think he's in fickle gone now and he's coming later today and I've got plans today.

So I had to, like, move around my schedule to accommodate him, and everyone's like, upset at me for being too accommodating.

And maybe I shouldn't.

I have been so willing to work things out so that he could still see the pets and, you know, get what he wants.

But I don't know, I know that.

But that's do you mean a lot to talk So and I don't wanna be withholding.

And I feel like I'm in a tough position, so I don't know, I don't normally get up at 7 a.m. But today is supposed to be the day that I go see him after, like, four months I can't sleep on.

I'm just like I don't know.

I don't even know if I'm doing the right thing by going out and spending time with him, like Part of me wants to and likes high and make sure everything's okay.

But that I don't know.

I feel like a lot of next emotions about it, so we'll see how it goes.

Okay, guys, So it's around two PM I'm just heading out with.

Although I think we were a little bit nervous at first.

It didn't take long for us to feel comfortable with each other again.

I don't know what I was worried about.

Romantic relationship aside, We used to be really good friends after all.

You missed some every single day.

They missed you too, Sarah.

Maybe way.

Don't know.

So yeah, Kid definitely remembers you.

He missed you.

They're probably really happy to see you and have you here giving them settled at the end of the day.

Although it was a little bit stressful at first.

I'm really glad that we went out and did this.

Then it's off to work.

I've been working at the Holy Good, a Japanese daycare part time recently.

Obviously, I can't show you a lot of what goes on there, but I am there most of the day, but I don't really record at work and I'm not going to shoot any of the Children.

And right now there aren't any Children.

Real quick about what I'm doing today, which is this afternoon.

I'm just chillin and making a bunch of worksheets for Halloween.

The kids are gonna have a Halloween party at the end of this month of this really exciting.

So we're teaching them Halloween words.

So this afternoon I'm heading to the Hilton Seahawk Hotel.

Every month.

They have a chef flying for a different Hilton Hotel somewhere in the world, and they hold like a buffet that's based on the theme of the country.

They're toys I'm very about explain.

Every month they changed the casino buffet, and this month it's Thai food, and I'm really excited.

I love Thai food, and these pre openings are invite only, and I've been getting invited to a few of them this year, and I always have a great time.

You get to, like, watch a cooking demonstration.

Sometimes they've got displays.

It's like very educational.

I love food.

I love eating.

And so it's always a pleasure.

You lived in Thailand Rate.

Yeah, what's your favorite type?

Times cliches.

That is a major stick.

Your eyes go stick.

Your eyes is like the coconut soup.

I hope they have any time any time soon.

Media previous air traditionally for outlets like newspapers, local magazines and TV companies.

But recently more places are involving non traditional media through Web platforms as well.

Since they aren't paid, there's no obligation to post or spread the word about them.

But the Hilton is always finding their buffet menu has always done really well.

I'm getting so excited.

I just saw on the menu that they're gonna be making Tom Guy, which is my favorite.

It's like a coconut sour coconut soup.

It's really, really good.

I wasn't sure if they would have it, but I see it on the menus amount Really excited, hoping we get to sample it later.

Putting chicken.

I love the cooking demonstrations because I find them wildly educational, but that's the foodie in me.

The best part is that we all get to eat the food right after it's made way.

Got called Soy, which is like a curry with a nice dry noodle on top.

And then Tom co guy, which is my favorite, is the coconut soup.

I've been waiting for this coming to these tasty previews because I get to try all of this food before everyone else does.

But then I always end up coming like again so I could sit down and have more of the food like they serve everything in little bite sized amounts threaten preview.

But when you come here as like a customer during the daytime, you can eat like your favorite stuff in your favorite quantities, and I would probably have all the time.

And I think this really is like my favorite.

I pay a lot of money at the Thai Place in my house, have it, so I think it's almost worth coming here.

Just just joined.

Get my nails done.

Finale of Health Care Week.

I'm gonna go get my nails done here, called because very genes.

And they're really fast, usually about 15 minutes to an hour to get your nails, son and shoot the design.

They have, like a really good list of designs published every month that come for a set.

Cost you always how much you're going to pay.

I'm glad I got my nails done.

I really got still looking sauce that I looked so tired the whole time.

I was getting my nails, but I couldn't stop yawning.

I'm like I'm exhausted.

I feel exhausted.

I feel like I was tired.

I'm ready to go home and have like, a nice, quiet afternoon, but I'm glad I got this done.

All right, So now I'm back home and editing clips I'm putting together this week in my life.

I'm looking back, and I think like it's been interesting to see how this week played out and it was actually a pretty good week.

I stayed busy.

I did something every day.

I saw lots of great people.

I had good experiences, good interactions with everybody, and that was better than I could have possibly expected.

So, Overall, like I'm I'm really pleased with what this week has become.

I think leading up to my visit with Kat said I was a little bit on the edge.

I was a little bit down because I wasn't sure if my interactions were gonna be positive or if they were gonna be negative.

And I didn't know if we would come out of that, like, feeling good about each other, feeling angry, and I don't know, I don't think anyone will ever be able to, like, replace what toxin was in my life.

Like he was a really good friend.

And we were We were very close there.

A lot of things that we love to do together and In many ways he is irreplaceable in my life.

But I think accepting that like an understanding that I don't need to find like another version of ham, I like he can just exist as he is, and then I can, like, move forward and meet people and have, like, new interactions like that concept in something that's kind of only entered my mind this week.

It's like it's okay to know that the person that you used to be with cannot be replaced and they shouldn't be replaced because people humans shouldn't be replaceable.
