People have different interests. Most of our passions and aspirations come from our interests. But there are things that we got interested in for some reason even if it’s not our passion.
There are so many things that I am interested in. For example I got interested in taking pictures of small things in macro shots. More like a hobby but I don’t have skills in photography.
Sometimes things that we get interested in are necessary for a living. We can be interested in things, people, hobbies and or sports.
When my brother in-law was once my neighbor, he encouraged me to learn video editing. He is currently a videographer in the Department of Agriculture. But before he was connected in that government agency, he was a freelance videographer and a video editor.
During those times the video editing business was a good source of income. But with the existence of smartphones and the innovative technology, competition becomes tight. Anyone can become a video editor using any smartphone these days.
Before it became more competitive as a business, my brother in-law taught me some basic video editing skills. Whenever he has lots of videos for editing, he will call me and I will assist him. So I kind of had extra income with him and so I got interested in that thing because I discovered something. Those are the times that I am still on the verge of something like I am not sure of the path I was going through. I was in the publishing industry at that time but I don’t see my future there. You know it was like anytime that an opportunity came in, I would leave the company right away.
It appears to me that video editing would be good if I could learn more. That is why I got interested in it. But it seems like that kind of interest was not my passion because no matter how hard I tried it didn’t just work out as I wanted it to be.
I had an AMD Celeron processor and it was kind of slow to use for video editing so I lost interest because I couldn't make way to upgrade my PC. There were more things to prioritize than upgrading it and besides, my monthly income was not enough even if I was a regular employee. I was not properly compensated because my previous employer was kind of hard when it comes to giving incentives to its employees.
If you get interested in a hobby, a game, sport or anything that drives you to get hooked with it, what did you do first before diving in? What are the things that get you interested in it and why?
Previously, I mentioned about me having an interest in photography using my smartphone. The reason was that I was fascinated by the photos I have seen in some other platform captured only by smartphone. So I said to myself why not try it. I have what it needs to make that amazing capture so I think I can do it too. Then I started to share my photos on some social media platforms.
Blogging for example was already one of my interests and considering it as a passion. It’s just that I was kind of on and off and can’t give full attention to it in the past years for some personal reasons. Now that I am working from home and with a stable internet connection I can devote my spare time to it. Somehow I have reason to pursue my dream of becoming financially independent.
Admirer not a stalker
If you are interested in one person, what do you do? What are the things that got you interested in knowing him/her?
We have different reasons for knowing a completely strange person. For example Marc Demesel is not known to me. I got only interested in knowing him because of read.cash and Bitcoin Cash. So when I found out who he is, I got more interested in knowing more about him. By following him on twitter and subscribing to his YouTube channel, I was able to know him better and from then on I admire him for his investing skills. His views and ideas not only about crypto are remarkable but I'm not kind of stalking him. It’s pretty much a different thing. When you stalk a person there might be feelings building up. Some people stalk other people for their own personal profit.
Innocent collector
When I was a kid, I was fond of collecting keys for no reason. I just got interested in holding keys and attached them to my backpack. It gives me pleasure hearing those sounds of keys when shaken. I tend to pick up those keys when I find one on the street. You know I was like a keys master back then. I can’t find the reason why I got interested in collecting keys as a child. I think the keys attached to my backpack when I was in fifth grade was more or less 500 grams when weighed. I just laughed at myself whenever I remember those childish acts. It’s kind of nonsense but figuratively speaking keys are symbolic and child's intuitions are real and always right. I’m still trying to figure out what those keys have something to do with my life now.
Our interests over things and stuff sometimes are not permanent and it’s kind of seasonal too. You know it’s like a trend or viral things.
My neighbor for example is a business minded person. However his business about selling is like on and off. Before the pandemic I saw him selling local burgers and a few months later it closed and then he re-opened with a milk tea business. It closed again and now he is having a barber shop business. It appears that he has lots of interest when it comes to business. I just don’t know why his business was on and off. But I’m impressed by how he seem to don’t lose interest in business.
Right now I don’t have new things to get interested in. My hobbies, my job and my family are the things that are going on with my interest. But it seems playing axie infinity is kind of interesting these days. I’m thinking about it.

Actually nung nagtanong ka if ano ginawa nung may napaginteresan ay naisip ko yung business ko. Super interested na nag-isip ako kung ano magiging name ng business, logo, etc. Ilang gabi ding puyat nun para lang sa name and logo. Same with Youtube channel. Gaya ng kapitbahay mo, on and off din ako. Hahaha. Pero kasi ang problema ko was funds. Magstick pa din ako sa mga yun kapag magkafunds na ako. Sa kapitbahay mo feeling ko kaya paiba-iba siya is hinahanap niya kung saan yung tingin niya para sa kanya. Hirap explain. Hahaha. Sumunod siya sa trend pero hindi nagclick so isip ulit ibang business. Kaso baka ang kulang lang niya is marketing strategy
