My First Post for 2014

by Melvin · May 3, 2014

It’s amazing that this blog is approaching its 6th year. I have to say that time really does fly rapidly and reading some of the first posts, it’s clear that I have improved in many ways related to blogging itself. Unfortunately, it’s not possible for me anymore to pump out content the same way as I did before and do other things related to making this blog popular again.

This is my first post for this year and if I’m lucky, I might make at least 10 posts for the year. But then again, I’m not looking at it as a goal for myself. Perhaps making money online exclusively is not for me (first post).

Anyway, I’ve been busy with the same things on a daily basis. My work still takes most of the priority here and a big part of that is also traveling back and forth as I spend 3 hours on transportation time daily. Work-wise, I have been upgraded a bit which is always good for my young career.  Due to that, I may not look to move anymore.

Outside of work, I do work mostly on my hobby project which is about Headphones. The site is thriving slowly but surely and I can’t be more than happy with the progress. In a way, I would say it’s very satisfying as I get to try many headphones myself w/o incurring any costs at all.

I’m very happy too that I’ve received my first check from Amazon which is the only way I intended to monetize the website. While the amount is not extraordinary, I’m surprised that the website was able to make any money as I certainly did not have any expectations from it yet. Overall, I’m quite optimistic for its future.

Finally, I have very much decreased doing consulting work for friends, acquaintances because my interest in it is much lesser now compared to the previous years. The idea of delegating some part of work has only remained as an idea unfortunately.

That is pretty much what I’ve been doing for this year. I also currently tune in to the NBA playoffs which is appearing to be a competitive one for this year. Who do you think will go all the way? 🙂
