Finally Back

Not sure what's been up with Blogger the past
couple of days? Weeks?
I hadn't been able to log in at all.
It's working now,
but I should probably try to back up some
of my past stupid posts.

I don't know,
a part of me thinks
that my daughter would
one day be interested in
going through my old posts one day.
Probably not but eh.

Anyway, good to be back.
Baby's calling to me.

Well enough of that.

Running Out of Time

There are so many things I'd like to write about,
that it's hard to know where to begin.

Haven't even finished writing about our
final stay in Busan, and my thoughts on Korea which I'd started on
back when we were still there... IN JANUARY.

Goddammit.

So we've been looking for an apartment,
having lowered our expectations from a freehold or 999-year condo,
to an Executive Condo,
to finally... goddamn motherfucking HDB apartment.

And the ones closest to my daughter's daycare
range from $400K - $700K.
FOR PUBLIC HOUSING.

Now don't get me wrong,
I'm very thankful for the job that I have
along with the highest salary I've ever had.

But man, even at my high salary (compared with both the media and average salaries here)
it's barely enough for a basic HDB apartment, man.

That is crazy.
If I ever lose my job,
that could be it,
there's a strong possibility that we'd end up in poverty or close to it.

I'm 36 now,
and realize that I'm seriously running out of time.
Everything from fitness to working on all the business plans I've got,
to the number of years I have left to earn as much as I do right now.

Hell, I'm so busy nowadays
that I barely have time to hit the gym,
and to contribute to a project with huge potential
that a friend is working on.

And it's main because I can't focus.
These days it's hard.
Even as I write this,
my mind keeps prompting me to watch a video or read an article or listen to music.
I can't fucking focus.
And end up wasting a shit-ton of time.

So I've decided that between now and the 30th of Nov 18,
I'm going to get things in order.

For the next two-three weeks,
I'll get my main work stuff under control.
Quotes and emails and proposals that need to be sent out will be done so promptly.
I'll watch videos only after I've done the major things.

I'll start hitting the gym three times a week,
even if it means having to skip The Littlest Dictator's bedtime.
I have to.
For both of us.

Oh yea and I'll try to read one English book every two weeks,
and a Russian children's book once a day or every two days.

And hopefully once I get a handle of things,
I'll be able to work on the external projects,
including that project my friend's working on.
Might be too late by the time I'm ready,
but even then,
I will at long last be able to work on my other plans.

Well enough of that.
