What r u doing bb?!
I just finished brushing my teeth… I’m winding down for the evening…
🤯 I feel like I’ve missed out on a whole chunk of your life today.
I feel like you’re pulling away from communication with me… 🥺
No darling, that is not my intention at all. Believe me. I’m setting up the foodie blog so that WE CAN COMMUNICATE MORE… in real life…
That I’m not delulu imagining these telepathic exchanges between us.
When ur really here… when we really set up how we’re gonna keep in touch — r u buying me a new Samsung?! A barbie phone?! Or both?! — yes my online presence is going to shift into another gear. Foodie blog. More focus.
More focus than a tech blog?
Evidently… I’m not passionate enough about the tech topics to work on a tech blog… 😅
I’m not deleting it yet but I haven’t posted anything there either.
Tech stuff still feels like work…
I thoroughly enjoyed setting up my foodie blog today my love.
My first post was a cafe review.
Link?!
It’s not published yet. I’m still keeping it unpublished for now… tomorrow, I want to think of a recipe to share…
I might launch it in August.
August… 🫠 so I have to wait that long…
August is not that far away at all my love!
And by then I’m gonna be busy with work and study and assignments again!
I just think that… I need this… for me…
It’s my equivalent of a crystal grid without actually buying crystals or making grids.
Ummmm…? 😅😅😅
It’s a hobby.
And it’s a hobby that I feel I can maintain more consistently.
And it’s a content channel that — perhaps — if it gets popular enough in the future, it could be monetised… it has that potential IF it becomes popular.
U wanna monetise?
Only IF it becomes popular enough.
What is popular enough? How many subscribers?
10,000 monthly page views.
Subscribers… I’m less focused on.
If I’ve got eyeballs then I can monetise.
Okay ✅️ I’ll keep a lookout for u 👀
Lol…
Do u want Fernando to mention ur blog?
NO!!!!!!
My love, this has nothing to do with Fernando!
I might add the link to my Tik Tok. I dunno, I’m still thinking about it… small details like that — that’s why it’s still unpublished.
I mean, could I end up creating Tik Toks, Reels, YouTube shorts along with the lengthier blog posts? Sure!
But do I want to do that in 2025? I don’t think so… because, I think I will burn out. I think I will say it’s too hard to maintain.
I still have my regular job and my classes.
I think if I simply keep up the blog posts consistently for the rest of 2025 then I will feel happy and proud of myself by the end of the year.
Then in 2026 I could consider expanding onto other platforms and making simultaneous content.
Uhuh… ur gonna get to take a LOT of nice photos when I take u out on our dates my love… ur food reviews won’t simply be confined to local eats. I’m taking u on a private jet to fly to London and Paris, New York!!!
Hahahahaha… 😅😅😅
That’s a nice thought, sweetie…
I dunno if I would blog those in real time…
Maybe… 💡
There will be a NiQii’s Kitchen — Gourmet
And it is a MEMBERS ONLY area. They have to register and log in to read those posts. And perhaps eventually it will be behind a pay wall?
Ooh! My wife is such a business woman 😘❤️
Lol… I dunno I’m just brainstorming 🧠
Eventually I would love to have a youtube channel and then the Gourmet content is a Patreon membership. So they gotta pay for those videos…
I’d love to get to the point of like interviewing celebrity chefs or other foodie content creators…
But that’s way, way, waaaay down the track…
Uhuh… 🤓📝… 📝… 📝…
Why r u taking so many notes?! I really haven’t fleshed this out that much…
BABY UR INSPIRING ME! I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS 💡 AS WELL!
Okay… lol…
Anyway my point is that — it’s not like every Gourmet post is gonna be our date nights. Because — I have boogie friends as well. Sometimes my family also likes to splurge.
So it could be that, some of the Gourmet content — it could have been our dates or I could’ve been with friends or family.
It’s the same the other way around. I wanna try regular low key hangouts with u as well when I’m there…
Yeah. So… I dunno… should I tag “Date Night” when it really is us on a date?! Am I reviewing cafes and restaurants for a date?!?!?!
Hmmmm… 🤔…
I would prefer it if you don’t…
Just keep ur blog about “friends and family” — me, as your husband, I am family. Only tag “friends” and/or “family”…
What about a VALENTINES DAY post?!
Okay… once a year, u can have a Valentines Day post in your Gourmet members channel.
What about Chinese Valentines Day?
There’s a Chinese Valentines Day?
Yes.
Okay. ANY romantic setting, whenever throughout the year. We’re going Gourmet with those, for sure. So it will be tagged “Valentine”
How about I have a “Valentine” tag and I refer to you as “my Valentine” — ?
Eg. “I went with my Valentine to this cafe today” bla bla bla…
Not always Gourmet?
No. I think we could be eating INSTANT NOODLES and it’s still a cute, relatable, romantic date!
Hmmm… can you… not post it in real time?
Yes. I can hold onto the drafts until you’re on Tour again and not in Australia. I can schedule them to be scattered throughout the year.
Hmmm… well that’s ok then 🥰💕
Good. I’m gonna write this out to myself tomorrow in a more “handbook” planner style for myself. Like my own style guide for my blog.
Okay. Cool 👍💕
And there’ll be no other explanations on the blog. There’ll just be a Valentine tag and it’s obvious to my readers, okay, that’s about date and romance.
Uhuh…
Ur my Valentine 💝
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 (Giggles!!!)
If we do travel… I’ll have a separate category for “Travel”
Uhuh…
And those also won’t be posted in real time.
Even the local stuff is not posted in real time. Maybe I’ll always wait a day or two… I dunno…
I think it’s better if u don’t post in real time. Especially when u start adding Tik Toks and Reels…
Yeah…
I’m gonna write u a theme song 🎵
Lol…?! I won’t need one yet… not until… 2026?!?!? IF I decide to start a youtube?
I’ll hold onto the song until ur ready to use it.
Lol… okay? Thank u baby…
Ur welcome 🥰💕
I want like, cozy chill lofi vibes for the song…
🤓📝 easy! No problem!
Mmm… I love u… 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️
🥰💕🥰💕🥰💕 I wanna help my WIFE! I’M SO PUMPED FOR THIS!!!
(Giggles!!!) 🤭💕🤭💕🤭💕🤭💕🤭💕
Does this mean u’ll blog less here?
Yes my love… as time goes on… but… I’m not deleting this blog either… I’ll still write POETRY… I still wanna write fictional short stories…
Maybe there’ll be less dialogue, more poetry…
Ooh… I see… 👀
Do u think that’s a good idea?
YES. I’m very impressed it’s all coming together…!
Hug hugs hugs 🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕💕💕
Because ur in my life again… Because ur love gave me the strength 💪 💓 💗 💖 ❤️
😍😍😍 That’s so nice to hear my baby!!! 😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
