Yesterday, I didn't feel like working.So, I figured I will just find something to learn on YouTube.And I landed on this guy building a hand gesture controlled spaceship game with Next.js.I tried his site and it was super cool.I figured I will build something foolish and fun using what I learned from his YouTube video.And started writing PRD using Chatgpt.com.What is PRD?A product requirements document (PRD) defines the requirements of a particular product, including the product's purpose, features, functionality, and behavior.And started building with Cursor, but after 1~2 hours of struggling, I failed to build a working one.I guess too much instruction at once may lead to tangled up / messed up product.So, I approached it more step by step from scratch.And I managed to build the working one after 2 hours.I actually really liked the product, I even purchased domain name for that.You can test it out here on shitdrop.comIt's a simple game that you need hand gestures to catch falling shits haha.Give it a try.
I did yoga today morning with 3 other people.I like doing yoga in the morning, but the yoga at Naia is not that exercising.I need more exercise for sure.

I heard there's this new great blogging platform called Mento Blog.So, when you write a blog post and select your mentors to get feedback from, these mentors will take a look at your blog and give you a good comment.It sounds not so fun, but you can create your own custom mentors. I mean, don't create your ex as your mentor though. There's a reason when someone is your ex.Anyways, not only that, ai will automatically create a cinematic scene out of your post, and you will be able to see this amazing image even when you are sharing on social medias.Oh, my! That sounds great!But that's not all. AI will remember what you wrote last time and give you constructive feedback.So, it's not just a basic lame another ai application, it's a mentor agent.Shit! Agent! We need to call NEO.

The State of Investing in 2025: A Personal ReflectionInvesting has always been a game of uncertainty, but as we step deeper into 2025, the landscape feels more complex than ever. The past few years have been a whirlwind—pandemics, inflation spikes, AI-driven market shifts, geopolitical conflicts, and a rapidly evolving technological sector. As I sit down to reflect on my investing journey today, I find myself confronting a mix of caution and optimism.Macroeconomic Trends Shaping the MarketAt a macro level, several key factors are influencing my investment decisions:Interest Rates & Inflation – The Federal Reserve’s policies remain a crucial factor. Inflation has shown signs of cooling, but rates remain higher than the ultra-low levels of the past decade. This has created a shift away from speculative assets toward value stocks and fixed-income opportunities.AI & Tech Disruptions – Artificial intelligence is no longer a futuristic buzzword—it is fundamentally changing how businesses operate. Companies that successfully integrate AI into their operations are seeing outsized returns, while those that fail to adapt are struggling.Geopolitical Risks – From trade tensions between major economies to regional conflicts, the global economy remains volatile. These uncertainties have pushed me to consider diversifying more heavily into international markets and commodities.The Rise of Retail Investing & Crypto Resurgence – Retail investors continue to exert significant influence, particularly in crypto and meme stocks. While the 2021 NFT and DeFi boom has cooled, Bitcoin and Ethereum are reaching new highs, largely driven by institutional adoption and ETF approvals.Portfolio Strategy: Balancing Risk and RewardGiven these macro trends, my current investment strategy revolves around balancing growth with stability. Here’s how I’m positioning my portfolio:1. Blue-Chip & Dividend StocksWhile the past decade was all about high-growth tech stocks, I am leaning more towards blue-chip companies with strong fundamentals. Dividend-paying stocks provide a hedge against volatility and ensure a steady income stream.2. AI & Automation LeadersDespite some tech stocks being overvalued, I see AI as a secular growth trend. Companies at the forefront of automation, machine learning, and AI-driven cloud services are central to my long-term strategy.3. Crypto: A New Digital Gold?Bitcoin’s recent surge to all-time highs, fueled by institutional backing, has renewed my interest. I maintain a small but growing allocation in crypto, focusing on BTC, ETH, and select altcoins with strong use cases.4. Commodities & Precious MetalsWith global uncertainty and inflation risks still present, gold and silver remain essential hedges in my portfolio. I’ve also been exploring lithium and rare earth metals, given their critical role in EVs and battery technologies.5. Bonds & Alternative InvestmentsWhile I historically avoided bonds due to low yields, today’s environment makes them more attractive. I have also started considering alternative assets like private equity and REITs to further diversify.Challenges & Lessons from the MarketInvesting is as much about mental discipline as it is about financial strategy. Some key lessons I’ve learned over the past year:Patience Pays Off: The biggest investment mistakes come from acting on short-term emotions. Avoiding panic selling has helped me ride out volatility.Adaptability is Key: Markets change, and so should investment strategies. The rise of AI, the shift in interest rates, and geopolitical shifts require ongoing portfolio adjustments.Cash is a Position Too: Having liquidity allows me to take advantage of market downturns. I’m holding more cash than usual, waiting for buying opportunities.Beware of Hype: Whether it's meme stocks, crypto manias, or AI-driven exuberance, it’s crucial to separate genuine innovation from speculative bubbles.Final Thoughts: The Path ForwardThe year 2025 is shaping up to be another pivotal one for investors. While risks remain high, so do opportunities. The key is to stay informed, remain adaptable, and continue refining my investment approach.For now, I will keep monitoring economic data, company earnings, and macro trends while ensuring my portfolio remains balanced. Investing is a long game, and my goal is to stay in it for the long haul.
