And just like that, the week flew by.
It’s the weekend.
And just like that, it’s June.
Half a year has passed.
Time flies.
It’s been two weeks since I first started this freelance gig/almost full time job and I still have 2 more weeks to go before calling it a month.
Will I stay? Or will I go?
I’ve been asking myself this question as well. But the answer is most likely the former. Heh, I’m just leaving it a blank, empty slate there cos I know that things will just unfold as it goes along.
What’s concrete for this month at the very least is this though: lots of bills due (recurring) and additional expenses coming in with 3 birthdays for 3 pretty important people including my mom!
Oh and quite a few new collaborations (both potential and concrete) coming in as well. Pretty eggcited for all of them~
Indeed, it’s been quiet for mitsueki’s blog though I have one small collaboration that I’ve been working on over the weekend!(:
Anyway, weekends to me means ME TIME all the way and I love everything about it! Mainly because:
a) I can sleep in a little more!
b) I can attempt to concentrate on working on mitsueki’s blog and SG Lifestyle during my weekend!
c) go for bounce classes/fitness
d) slack around at home
Oh I love d) alot hahaha!
Sadly, my plans were a little skewed for the day! Went for my bounce classes and thought that I was on time so I took my time = ended up late.
Ah, look at the rolls of fats around my hips/tummy 😂
It’s okay, I always have back up plans HAHHAHA. So I swapped it out my Sunday plans instead and rescheduled it!
*Note to self to leave even earlier tomorrow!!
This means heading to my gym for a quick workout first!
Lasted only 30 minutes on the exercise bike and got a little bored then. Started incorporating a little weights and even a 2 min run on the treadmill in between to shake things up!
Had my late lunch after that where my mom boiled soup with some fresh chicken, watercress and mushrooms.
Yeah it’s good ol’ Cantonese soup that I really appreciate. Thank you Mom! Wouldn’t know what to do without you!
Meanwhile, I managed to do a couple of things on this day – some for fun and others, supposedly on my to do list!
This included:
Getting that post published! Yeah, it’s that post from Friday which we rushed out! Heh.
Hitting the PUBLISH button feels super good after receiving all the nods/rounds of approval and there were at least 6 people involved from the creation, vetting, approval and finally, to the publishing before it goes live!
On this day as well, I submitted my application for a freelance job I found on Cultjobs randomly. Indeed, what’s the worst that could happen la?
Meanwhile, my company’s laptop which I lugged home for work purposes had all these Adobe software installed and I figured to give them a whirl just for fun (InDesign and Lightroom)!
Let’s just say that I don’t have design talent and I’m really not cut out for it 🙅🙅😂😂
If you watched my IG Stories on @mitsueki, you would have caught me attempting to create the camera on the RIGHT side on Paint and I found it really hilarious how bad I was. Seems like my IG story viewers agree too LOL.
Don’t miss out participating in these fun occasional fun polls ya? Just follow me on Instagram @mitsueki! It’s a private account so I do vet through everyone who follows me! As long as it’s legit account, you’ll be approved within a day!(:
I also worked on a small collaboration post I have going on with SGshop – hop on over if you haven’t read my shopping experience with them during a recent Vesak Day public holiday!~
Finally able to schedule it to go live on this day is pretty shiok after working on it for a couple of weeks! 🙂
And to end off the night, I was so happy to see this! My newly published Osaka-Kyoto travelogue made to Page 1 of Google search for some keywords! Heh, it’s not exactly the core keywords that I’m looking for but still, not too shabby for Day 1! Will continue observing here and there cos organic SEO does take awhile~
(Not an expert btw, just basic self learning and experimenting over the years!)
Also spent some time analyzing the data on my Google Analytics account as well for both mitsueki’s Blog and SG Lifestyle! Don’t really fully know in depth of all the data presented there but the core details gives me a nice, basic overview at least on my blog readership profile and etc aka where YOU – my dear reader are from / what interests you / down to even what OS you use and which mobile operator (wth!) HAHAHHA.
Yep, so that’s it for my lovely Saturday~ Thanks always for reading and see ya tomorrow at 1228pm GMT+8!
(Note that you are reading a very backdated post from at least 2-3 weeks from when it was actually written. For LIVE actual updates – I’m on IG/FB stories (@mitsueki)!)
