The point of the exercise was to make some money off things I don't use and help recover my broke-ass salary account. I managed to sell just one item so far. JUST ONE.

Some things I have learnt (will keep updating this list):

- I was better off selling on olx. Turns out my friends are bigger low ballers, with more tantrums
- It's easy to impulse purchase and stockpile on stuff you don't need
- Electronics depreciate like butter on a hot pan

A couple of friends did send in messages asking if I needed help. I'm fortunate to have some people who still care. God bless them.

Back to the old days

I've decided to shift all my rants from facebook and other social media platforms, to this blog. That way, I have a platform to vent and don't have to deal with judgmental friends and relatives.

Cheers to new beginnings.
