2008

I quitted my job at an Internet Marketing agency in March 2007, and started a blog publishing company. The good news is that it’s making a profit after expenses. The bad is that it’s growing slower than I expected. I figured that by this time, I’d be buying a mansion, yacht, and sipping martini from a private beach in the Caribbean. Ok back to reality, I’m still optimistic about 2009. With 7 money making blogs, & various independent contractors, I plan to improve the quality & quantity of my content, and maybe build a web application.

Regarding health & fitness, I’m in the best shape of my life. Hiked about 8 different mountains in 2008. Jogged 23 miles in December, and plan to run a LOT more this year. I’ve also gotten into the habit of doing 100 pushups & 200 situps every other day. My flexibility has also improve dramatically due to regular Yoga practice, now entering 4th year. At this rate, I should enter a marathon or something.

My Salsa dancing also improved quite a bit. For an embarrassingly long time, I wasn’t able to hear the beat of some of the complex songs. But then suddenly, eureka, they’ve became a lot clearer, or at least 95% of the time. I’ve also came up with my own moves & combination to better express myself on the dance floor.

Finally got to see Whistler BC this summer, the site of the 2010 Winter Olympics. It’s very charming, yet commercialized, and expensive!

For 2009, here’re my goals

• Run 300 miles
• Do 15,000 pushups & 30,000 situps
• Read & review 20 books
