Weekly Reflection. One step down, thousands more to go. Week #4
March 24, 2012 § 9 Comments
Hello world,
This week has been wonderful. I have met my first milestone. It feels pretty good. My first step is done; all I have to do is keep walking. For those who have kept up with me and my journey, thank you. For the newbie to my blog, here is my journey so far:
Weekly Reflection. A Story that has just Started… Week #1
Weekly Reflection: How Blogging Superheroes does it! Week #2
The highlight of my week so far has definitely been my 1000 page views. And the fact that I have a reader from Moldova. I didn’t even know where that is until I viewed it from my status bar. Even so, it is still a tiny little country in relative to the rest.
Anyways, on to this week’s status report:
- Views: 1200 (+372)
- Posts: 31 (+7)
- Comments: 217 (+73)
- Followers: 77 (+15)
I’m just chugging along. Like everyone else, I am trying my best to be good with a promise to myself. A post per day. I’m currently trying different sites to gain new readers and perhaps, followers. It has been slow. It might have been me. I’m not too aggressive in my approach. But then, I want things to be natural, like what they say online, “let it grow organically.”
Therefore, I am staying focus. With that, I’ll share with you guys one of my picture of a place where I used to live back in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It was the roof, with one small room that I share with a buddy of mine. By tiny, it is comparable to a master bathroom here in the United States. But it was home. It was freedom for me.

Power Rush! 1000 Views Achieved!

Hello guys!
Usually, I do a weekly reflection every week to gauge my progress toward my goal. But today is a special day. Perhaps, not too much for you, but it is to me. Finally! I have or will reach 1000 views today! Yea, not too amazing, but considering what this blog is about and what it means to me, it is pretty awesome!
How awesome is it? Those that frequent my blog, you already know. But for those who are new or perhaps missed a few of my topics, here are some of my popular posts that earned quite a bit of views:
The Happiness formula is WRONG!
Be both a Reader and a Writer. Share your friends!
Weekly Reflection: How Blogging Superheroes does it! Week #2
How Social Media Affect My Life!
Road Rage! Instant Gratification.
This all started with my goal of creating an Internet Portfolio for my career path. I figured it would be something this crazy but I did not know how hard it would be. I guess if it wasn’t hard, it wouldn’t be worth it, now would it?
Granted, there are many times where I felt so discourage, but thankfully, I have a few encouraging supporters, you know who you are 
. The most difficult thing is to consistently put out a post each and every day. I did not want to spam my own blog with BS, so forcing myself to get something of value to my reader has been tough on my own schedules. But everything was worth it!
Once again, this might mean nothing to you, but it has great value toward my personal development. Therefore, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
P.S. I didn’t even realize today was the day I hit 1000 views until I came across another blogger who has just hit their own mark of 1000 views. Check out InsaneKeeper and congratulate his/her blog.
How did it feel when you reach your first 1000 views? Leave me a comment.
