Back from Taiwan. Trip was great, spent Dad's 70th birthday with him, wish granted.
But it's not what I'm here to blog about... I need to reassess my immediate goals for the second half of 2025. Ever since I got back other than swift total unpack done in a day, I opened an EQ bank account with my first TFSA account attached to it. Now i really feel grown up. Then I got assigned a new primary health provider which is huge, the nurse practitioner is great, can't ask for a better gal. I also registered for a tax informative course that cost a hefty amount, but at least it'll be one more skill I gain on my free time and perhaps it could be my third source of income. Then week 2 I got my CV reorganized to a close to ideal shape, hopefully from now on I don't need much revision, just mass applications. Then I got done my blood work and got my next eye exam and dental exam booked. And I attended a new staffing company's orientation and signed up with them --- my 2nd-b income, yay, I need to keep reminding myself my dad's motto: "To be able to work is a bless. Keep working." What a great reframe for a working class, it does make me feel better about carry the weight on my own. Cuz even with my full-time close-to-minimum-wage job, I've managed to pay rent/utilities and be on many online shopping sprees (I really need to stop that), which is why I'm here, to reassess my goals in the following weeks and months.
First I need to focus on job and apartment hunting. Jobs still need to come first, so I can narrow down the location for my next move. Starting next week (last week of Aug) I just really need to suck it up and apply to as many places as possible. New deadline for job finding: End of October. And apartment can come after, either by end of year or next year is fine. Money is priority, keep that in mind. Set goals for next week days so that I reach an application quota.
Just got messages from Dad, he's doing well in Australia, happy for him.
Next, I need to resume exercise and have some massive weight drops. Lately I've been gaining more than I did in tw which is unacceptable. But once I get into the groove it'll get easier,
Third, and not any less important: Start my passive-income project(s). First really dive into the voice content creation gig; then learn Notion timetable making; lastly, pick up pixel-art making progress. Eventually we'll also delve into writing a epub self-help book as well as making some vids after I move to a new place. Also there's art creation on RedBubble.... There're lots to do in this section, but one by one, I feel as though I'll definitely find my own niche that could generate some income.
Ideally, I would have one full-time job; 2 event staffing contracts; seasonal tax-filing gigs; 5 passive income sources.... that'd be very ideal, but who said it can't come true, at least I'm staying positive, and busy!
