been staying awake just so that I can write another entry into this blog. I am thinking of creating my own website. This is some-thing that I should already be doing as I have now a web developer. It has never occurred to me for the reasons that before I did not have a computer with me for the last 2 years. And the last computer I had was for 5 years and was extremely slow.
I cannot even begin to wonder at how much I have yet to learn about programming at least from my experience I am still sorely lacking in many areas. Not to mention, that I am trying to learn as much as I can everyday... whenever I am able to. But I have not been able to dedicate as much time as there is to it. When I have to work and with a boss that looks over your shoulder...
For so many reasons, whilst working I am interrupted to diagnose minor computer glitches which my fellow colleagues ask from me at work especially my boss. But that is all getting better now, as I have more time to dedicate to learning than before when I was constantly being assessed and scrutinized from every other angle.
Well, I am interested in learning more about the hobby that I wish to pursue. I have been interested in learning different languages and I have taken the time to learn Korean at one stage, and still am practicing and listening to audio mp3 files as I make my way to work. As well, whilst I am on the job I learn Chinese from my fellow co-workers. And they too teach me how I can improve my Chinese. In fact, I don't think I have been in either of the languages above. But my Chinese is definitely better than my Korean.
Now that I have the time to continue my revision and studying... there is just so much out there that I have to learn... not to mention, I am learning a programming language in C# .net technologies as well making use of the gimp software that I download to create more effective flash enabled websites. Interestingly enough, I have graduated in Business and I am working as a web developer. How interesting and yet so demanding!!!
So far, I have to update myself frequently with the latest technologies on the market. And by doing so, I do check out blogs, forums and other technology reviews from time to time. so far... I am doing my utmost best to try to keep myself abreast of the competition.. but it is tough... well... so much for what you consider a hobby.. Maybe in the future, people will ask each other what they do for a hobby? And nobody has a clue...
Everyone is just too busy nowadays... that work is the 'Hobby' and not the hobby becomes a job...
Well, I have to go now... got to get up early for work tomorrow.

Day 1 of getting a hobby
Hi there,
you might not have realized it yet. But I have had no idea what I would like to do for a hobby really. So that is why I am starting this blog. To find out what it is I like doing best. Personally, for one thing everyone enjoys doing something or another. But what is it that makes one's hobby the most interesting of them all?
Some may call various activities hobbies: 'sports, photography, hanging out with friends, writing...etc' So far, for me I have placed into my resume something along the lines of assembling a PC or even learning about various programming languages. This is so that it will improve my chances of getting an even better job. But to what end? I mean is this all really necessary? Getting your hobbies to align with getting a job?
For myself, I do not personally always enjoy fixing computers or even doing programming all the time. But they do consume much of my time. Hence, if work does not become a hobby it would be considered as a 'job' right? Much less to say, if blogging is one of the other outlets that I enjoy doing it is because I intended to venture into various grounds that being said... it does help if you had some money to finance a hobby...
What if you wanted a hobby that does not require much money... something that was cheap and valuable. I mean, look at our forefathers... they could just get by playing 'mahjong' (without really gambling), watching old fashion movies and listening to the radio, or even taking a walk outside...etc.. Do you really need to spend money for a hobby? Coming to think of it, look at the present generation. By spending money on playing computer games, watching movies, or even surfing all require some sort of 'expense' and investment.
Not to mention, money is becoming increasingly difficult and scarce. With this kind of mentality shouldn't we try to become less materialistic and enjoy the best things in life? The 'ones' that don't require money? It seems like I am rather naive, but upon saying that I am interested in finding a hobby that has minimal cost to it. Or at least if I were to spend I would find ways to minimize that cost. In the long run, I would indeed like to have the money to spend on the 'hobbies' which require spending... But how about trying to save worthwhile money on a hobby that needed some spending (minimal - at least)...
Take for instance, golf is an expensive hobby. And so is photography. But what if you wanted to do those hobbies and at the same time spend as little as possible?
Think about it...
