New Year's Eve: The Dawn Of A New Decade (2020)

New Year's Eve: The Dawn Of A New Decade (2020)

 Today is Tuesday, December 31, 2019. This means that this is not only my last blog post of the year, but of an entire decade. ๐Ÿ˜ฒ Now it might sound kind of weird to say that, considering that I have only been using Blogger since January 31, 2016. Nevertheless, it has been 3 years of typing here. ⌨ That's enough of the boring stuff, so let's talk about the exciting things: 2020! ๐ŸŽ†
No, I will not be watching fireworks. And no, that end of the decade video is also unfortunately not happening.  ๐Ÿ˜ฅ This time period was just too busy, and when you do not organize yourself efficiently, you will ultra quickly get yourself into such a tight, awkward situation.  ๐Ÿ˜ฃ 

Over the decade, we have seen so much advancements in just about every industry on the planet: automotive, health, technology, security and beyond. Some of these advancements, however, are not always positive. Some trends have been seriously stupid and disappointing, such as the notches and removal of headphone jacks and expandable memory on smartphones. ๐Ÿ™„ Others, like the ever increasing number of all-electric vehicles are very exciting. ⚡

For some of you, it is already 2020. For those of us in the Eastern Standard Time Zone, or close to it, it is late evening at the time I wrote this. And for that reason, I will not keep this blog post too long. I just want to say that I am thankful to have lived through the decade despite the many disappointments, and hardships that I may have faced. There were also many joys and special memories that have also taken place: moving, graduation, relatives' weddings, getting my first proper computer, getting back intro instrumental music, injecting life into my YouTube channel, then rebranding it twice as time went on, getting into blogging, acquisition of several smartphones, visiting many areas, and so many more that if I were to go on, this blog post would end up becoming a book! ๐Ÿ“•๐Ÿ“—๐Ÿ“˜

For the next decade, I hope to go further, continue to learn new things, stay healthy, go new places, and be more successful in the things I do. ✅๐ŸŒ 

Thanks for reading and Happy 2020 New Year! ๐ŸŽ†๐ŸŽ‡๐ŸŽ‰

December 31st Entry: Final Day of 2018

GuuzakaTube                                                                                                  2018-12-31

December 31st Entry: Final Day of 2018

Ok, this is it: the final day of 2018! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ Therefore, this is naturally my final post of 2018. Wow, another year gone by.... ๐ŸŒ ๐Ÿ˜ถ Let us take a look at 10 photos from places I've been, or things I've unboxed. A few of these photos, you've never seen captured on video, so enjoy! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐ŸŽ‰

 As I looked back at my own photographs, it reminds me of how blessed it is to be able to have the health, strength and knowledge to go places. However, if I must be honest, 2018 wasn't my year. ๐Ÿ˜ถ But even with all the ups, downs, disappoints, laughter, and despairs 2018 may have brought, I am still alive and functioning. Being alive, means that there is the opportunity for a brighter, more fulfilling, exciting future. And if there is one major thing 2018 did for me, is it opened my eyes. After going through its unique good and bad, I now have a far better idea of what should be done to significantly improve the odds of getting the 2019 I want to see. Did you enjoy 2018? What did you overall think of the year? Are you ready for 2019?

The Final Day of Year 2017

GuuzakaTube                                                                                                   2017-12-31


The Final Day of Year 2017

Spring 2017 (Whitby)

Summer 2017 (Whitby)

Autumn 2017 (Milton)

Winter 2017 (Bowmanville)

Alright, so this is it: the final day of 2017! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Wow, not sure if it felt like it went by fast or not, but I certainly wouldn't say that it was slow. While 2017 hasn't personally been exciting for me, I can say that it had its ups and downs. I've been comparing the events of my life between these two years (2016 & 17) to see which year was overall better. The results? Well, 2017 is seemingly a marginal improvement. If I must be honest, I think the number of annoyances and other bits that took place, have me to believe that 2016 was honestly the better year for me. But then again, 2016 was also rather disorganized and I remember openly calling it a flop in front of people.... ๐Ÿ˜จ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Yeah.... for those reasons, I think I'll actually consider 2017 as truly the improvement of 2016, despite that it had a bit more stressful events that took place. ๐Ÿ˜… I know. I'm being rather vague about things here, but I'm just not the one for going into details about these things.๐Ÿ”’

So that was my personal life, but what about YouTube? How have things been in 2017? Well, it seems like YouTube was a pretty bad year for most YouTubers with this whole Adpocalypse thing, fake drama, real drama, complete demonetization for people who had less than 10,000 channel views, and what else? I'm sure there's probably plenty more, but those are the core things I can think of from the top of my head. Luckily for me, I have not gotten myself involved into any drama of the sort, nor have I ever gotten any strikes! ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ† Then again, my channel is also an low-traffic place, so that may have something to - actually, nope! You have some low-traffic and mid-traffic channels that have gotten themselves into unbelievable amounts of drama, so never mind about that being an effective measure of staying safe! ๐Ÿ˜ฐ Now, it certainly wasn't all roses, rainbows, sunshine and singing canaries for me, as you will know from "Why Your YouTube Channel Might Be Losing So Much Money (April 2017)" I don't know why YouTube had to make this brutal move, but they did it anyways. This made it very demotivating to continue YouTube, but I was determined to keep going. 7 months later, November time arrives and I met the quota, so my earnings were restored. Still, I wish they hadn't done that in the first place, and hope to God that they don't come up with some other shenanigans in 2018! ๐Ÿ˜‘

This aside, 2017 would also be the first full year of the GuuzakaTube era, after succeeding the longstanding ATA1201058 back in 2016. Has quality and diversity lived up to my expecations with the personal brand transition? Well, it's certainly gotten much better, but there is room for improvement. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I love how I've been to so many different places this year, and have done a lot of mobile gaming, commentary, and even a few music and animation videos this year. Definitely pride myself on that for making much videos to reflect the channel's theme, while also trying other categories. Speaking of categories, I wonder if I should categorize the outdoor videos as "People & Blogs" as opposed to the usual "Travel & Events" like how I normally do. You've seen my videos, so I'd really appreciate feedback on which category you think represents them more accurately.

Should I mention Instagram, DeviantArt, Tumblr, Twitter and Blogger? Why not? I'll just go with a brief rundown with how each went in 2017. For Instagram, it was painful when I got shadowbanned sometime back in May. Though long resolved, and haven't been shadowbanned since, it still sucks how the company just won't update their Windows application and make it functional! Argh! ๐Ÿ˜ก๐Ÿ˜  Oh well, 6Tag fills the void for now... For DeviantArt, I'm not terribly active there because I'm not the greatest (nor am I the worst) artist around. I initially created Tumblr as a placeholder after getting shadowbanned from Instagram. I thought that I would have abandoned it after getting my Instagram back, but I ended up liking the user interface a lot, so I'm still using it to this day. Twitter, like much of my other social media anchors, I mainly use to advertise my uploads, but do use it for other purposes as well. Blogger, hey, I'm using it right now! ๐Ÿ˜„ I use it for uploads, affiliate marketing and other times when I feel like discussing something - like 2017 New Year's Eve! Now, there are other anchors I have on the channel, but because I have not used them in 2017, it would be pointless to mention them. Maybe we'll see them come to use in 2018?

Alright web surfers! This has been it for the final blog post of 2017! Thank you for reading and watching my objectionable entries! ๐Ÿคฃ Have a safe, blessed, prosperous 2018 New Year! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠ๐ŸŒ
