I strongly doubt that ‘internetless’ is a word but for the sake of this post lets just let that one slide. I’m in an internet cafe on Bohol Island, Philippines and the stool I’m sitting on is making my arse ache and I just want to escape so go easy on any made up words or other literary crimes.
I’ve been spending time in some very cool, remote jungle hostels and haven’t had an internet connection. This has made getting anything done pretty hard. I’ve been filling my time instead with a bit of article writing for my new site and have been attempting to improve my terrible photographic skills.
It’s kind of relaxing being away from the net and not being able to check stats every 14 seconds. It makes coming to the internet cafe an event because I always have lots to catch up on. I’m still not totally comfortable working in them, though. Not sure I ever will be. This one is small and airy and there are no online gamers in site which is nice. It’s just this damned stool… so uncomfortable!
January is looking like a great month and might be my best or close to it. I’ve finally passed the $300 a month mark with Adsense and it looks like I’ll even clear $400 easily. I don’t have any explanation for this at all though.
On the budgeting side of things… the news isn’t quite as good. I’ve been having a great time, flying all over the place, doing what I want, drinking lots of rum and not keeping track of any of my spending so things could be bad when I tally everything up. Despite my lack of a budget though I still don’t think I’m close to spending as much as I’ll earn this month and that’s the ultimate goal, really. Budgets are boring!
Once I get back to Manila I’ll be checking in with some reviews of places I’ve stayed, how they are to work in and some photos and stuff so, fear not! I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth. Not yet, anyways.
