I'm back

Yes, this is really becoming a habit. I only update my blog like after 6 months but well I have been extremely busy and I seriously don't have the mental capacity to actually write about anything after coming back from work. However, things have tapered off right after that big as event my company had which was called GoMobile 2008.

So now I SHOULD be able to blog a bit more consistently though I still have a lot of other things to do. One of those major things is actually the revamp of the magazine I'm currently the editor of which is Mobile World (remember to pick up your copy at the nearest bookstore or newsstand :D). There have been some changes in the look of the mag since I've taken over but I'm really looking forward to doing more with the mag and hopefully bringing it to another level. Well all I can say is stay tuned for developments there and if you're not reader, why not pick it up and give me your thoughts and opinions. I'm always open to suggestions.

Also since starting this full 9-5 job I've managed to bring some semblance of order to this life of mine. I'm still picking up some of pieces of my 1 and a half years of freelancing like some financial issues and my screwed up body clock but hey if I had to do it again I would. Life for me is about lessons and well I wouldn't have learned anything if I didn't try freelancing full time.

Anyway time to get back to work and remember to post your recommendation for the mag.

A new phase for me

Yes, its been ages since I've actually posted anything and all those promises I made about changing, well lets just say they never really came through. Six months since my last post, which was not much of a post anyway, I've once again undergone some major changes in my life. I've decided to quit being a lazy ass and have actually gone and got a proper 9-5 job. Yes this one and a half year experiment into the world of freelancing is finally over and what have I learnt from it?

Well quite a lot actually and the sad realisation that I might not be ready or maybe not even cut out for doing things on my own. I had so many plans; grow my freelance writing biz, maybe start a site hopefully make some money, blog, actually finish some sort of higher education course etc. and did  actually do them. Well sort of but all of them in a half hearted matter. To make matters even worse due to the complacency I had during this entire period of 'working on my own' I found that I was becoming less and less financially prudent. I haven't exactly been very good with the money which has resulted in me being well less financially well off than I originally was. Yes I was earning a good deal but at the same time, I was wasting money on stuff just to kill my boredom. On top of that I wasn't even doing most of my jobs properly which saw me slowly cutting of one job by one until I was only doing bare minimal stuff.

So I finally decided some time last week that enough was enough. I was damaging my life as it is. Before I could ruin any rep I built up in the industry (which I suspected I was close to doing) I decided that a total change was needed. I found myself a new job with a set of challenges that I was looking forward to facing. I believe that if you don't use your brain, its bound to rot and that was exactly what was happening to me. With this new job, hopefully I will succeed in stemming this rot that has already permeated a good part of my mind.

This post is more of a rant but you'll soon be seeing a more coherent post on what I plan to do with my life and hopefully this blog will be filled again soon.
