<p>This is chapter 80. We are 20 chapters to go until we reach the <a href="https://write.as/boringyetgraceful/chapter-5-a-goal-for-this-boring-blog" rel="nofollow">goal of 100</a> chapters.

And still don&#39;t know what to write about, you know that. I think if other people are writing this blog maybe they already hit some small success along the way. But we&#39;re not blessed enough to have some clout in this world.</p>

<p>The topics of for this blog are all over the place. There is a few <a href="https://write.as/boringyetgraceful/chapter-53-9-ways-to-beat-filipino-time" rel="nofollow">helpful post</a> filled with value then the majority is a <a href="https://write.as/boringyetgraceful/chapter-66-im-still-here" rel="nofollow">trash</a>.
