Pride, or joy?

I’m fighting real hard - ranking, or just money? Better pagerank, or better camera? Which one that i really want? Pride, or better toys? With a lot of evil around me, it’s really hard to keep a straight and clear head.

One side advocates for better pagerank, so that i can get better search engine searches, and eventually, self-satisfaction. The other side kept luring me back to the dark side, with promise of more toys to play with the extra money. Almost stuck in between. Pride, or joy? Damn it.

250 in 30!

I didn’t thought that i’m able to get that. At least, i haven’t really look into that yet. What’s that 250 in 30 all about? How about making US$250 in just 30 minutes? Yeah - not real money, it’s all play money. How? Forex lor…. tonight’s market is a little bit crazy. I almost fall off my seats looking at the chart going all the way up. Since i’m playing more like a day-trader, i closed all my positions when i get more than US$10, and i open another position.

I kept doing that like a clockwork. Of course - i look at where the market will lead me first - up or down. If it looks that it’s going up, then i’ll close one position and open another one almost immediately. And just now, within 30 short minutes, i have done 14 trades, making US$250 in play money. All the while still keeping another position open.

When can i go for a holiday?

Lately, i’ve been busy with work. Too many things coming at the same time and i felt somehow stressed at times, and need a break. I just needed that break, and i can go anywhere that would bring us both away for a good holiday. Choosing holiday packages by itself could sometimes be stressful. But why should it be?

I was looking thru holiday packages offered by Branson Getaway, and was kinda amazed by their options, and of course, the price. While all the packages are ground arrangement only (you got to sort out your own flight plans), i find that the price is kinda affordable, and offers comprehensive choices as well.

What i do further?

I don’t know when i’ll stop writing all this money-making ventures. I don’t know if i’ll continue writing. I don’t know what will happened in the future. I don’t know if the US dollars will keep on going down against Euro. I don’t know if i still have the time to write all this thingy i used to write on this blog.

But what i know for sure - i’m keeping this blog, and i’m keeping this domain. In fact, this domain won’t expire until 2010. At least, i know i won’t be like some places/domains that forgot to renew their domains and got into lots of trouble. Well - let’s just hope it stays that way for now.

Was it that long ago?

With not much in touch with the paid blogging world lately, i almost lost touch on how much i used to be able to get per month just by blogging. Don’t know whether i’m really proud to say “been there, done that”, but some time, i have the temptation and urge to just take that one opportunity, post away and just take the money.

Especially now that i’ve been eye-ing to get that new camera. Damn - the temptation is so great, i almost take that paid post and post it right up here! Trying to steer clear with a clear head, and keeping to what i’ve been trying so hard for this few months. It seems that my self-proclaimed paid post addiction treatment is really working nicely. Hehe…

Getting better?

I’m getting the hang on forex trading. While still trading on play money, i haven’t been losing any money yet for now. So far i’ve been making the correct calls on the trading, which is kinda scary because you’ve got to lose some money to start learning. It’s either the tool i’m using is very efficient, and market’s very predictable, or i’m just damn lucky.

Anyway, forex trading is something i’m dabbling into now. I’m still looking at earning money from my sites as well, so i’m not totally neglecting all my blogs and the paid posts. In fact, i’m still getting some odd jobs here and there and still getting steady flow of cash from there. Which is good.

The power of Google

I like Google. You know why? I like taking my nick and do a search in Google, and it spew wonders to me. I get to see who links me. I get to see who mentioned my nick. I get to see what else my nick is used for at other sites. Also, i get to know who link me (that I haven’t link back) and drop by to visit. In this Internet world, we didn’t know for sure who’s linking who, but by using search engine (Google roxr!), i guessed i can somehow know who’s been stalking me :)

This method is also useful to find out if anybody’s impersonating you online, and can somehow track who’s been doing what as well. Sometimes, i search for my full name and I get wonders as well :) Apparently, people loved me. Heheh…

So far i haven’t found anybody using my nick and sell some used cisco online yet, but we never know for sure, right?

What i do?

Let’s see - this blog kinda took a break for a while, what’s with all the election thingy. And also, the fact that I start meddling into forex world makes me kinda neglect blogging a bit. Why? Forex trading involves looking at charts and i only have one screen - i usually does trading on my notebook at the comfort of my living room, on the home theater carpet, right in front of the TV.

And with the chart taking all the screen real estate, there’s not much place left for me to blog while still keeping an eye on the ups-and-downs of the trading chart. Yeah - i don’t know if i can afford another LCD monitor for me to put in my living room - just for trading purpose. I guessed i’ll get that if i started making money off forex market. But i know that it will take a while more before i can confidently put my money in trading and start playing with real money. For now, it’s all paper money. Hehe.

Forex, forex, forex

I thought it’s going to be easy to trying out forex, what’s more since i have stock trading experience. I plunge head-first into forex trading, with play money of course, thinking i’ve known how to look at the chart and make that trading call. I was wrong. It’s not that simple.

Although i have help (and valuable tips) from some of my friends who have already been playing with forex, looking at the chart and making that trading call (to buy or to sell) is still kinda daunting to me. And i’m still not playing with real money! Damn… but i’m catching up and been trading on positive value lately (albeit making some wrong judgement and end up with negative flow).
