A year into Problogging

Listen to article

I just realized when I woke up this morning that it has been a year now that I started going fulltime problogging. When you’re holed up in your hotel room with only the TV, you get to have a bit more time thinking or contemplating about stuff. So I thought, how the hell did I end up here? I never imagined I’d be doing this kind of stuff a year ago but here I am, enjoying every bit of it (and making a living too!).

It’s been a bumpy and fun ride, something I realy enjoyed in the last 12 months. This opportunity has allowed me to do a lot of things I couldn’t do before. It’s just been a great year for me.

Thanks to all my readers and my co-bloggers from all over. :)

Hopefully, the next 12 months will be the same if not better.

P.S.
I’m prepping myself for another loooong trip back home — Islamabad -> Lahore -> Bangkok -> Manila. If all goes well my 8pm flight tonight will be smooth and I’ll arrive in Manila just past 1pm the next day. That’s 15 hours in the air or loitering in the airport. I hope the ride isn’t as bumpy as before so I could get a few winks in between.

Who knows, Abe could get a link from his airplane seatmate. But Marc, I know you could pull off that real-life linkbait!

cheers sir abe!

have a safe trip! I hate stop overs, haha. 9 hours straight from saudi to philippines is kind of boring, pano pa kung may stop over, delays, at napakahabang biyahe.

More power!

Have a safe trip! I remember my trip to Surrey, Canada last April. Instead of going to work, I stayed in my hotel room coz I caught a fever after 23 hours of travel time. Manila -> Tokyo -> Detroit -> Surrey then 4 hours train ride from the airport to my destination. That’s really exhausting.
