My previous post basically is all about the number of comments I received...
Of course, when I read it myself, I laughed, because it was intended as a joke, but when other xangan read the post, various reactions surfaced...
Some seem to be jumping up and defending the honor of Xanga... Well, at first I keep thinking, don't they get my joke? Am I too rusty nowadays to convey my sense of humor?
But, perhaps those reactions is due to the title of the post, which trigger such a response due to the depth of their love for Xanga... Well, that's a good thing, I guess...
Some others seemed to be giving their all to make me feel good, as perhaps I come across as being depressed by the lack of comments received... Of course that was the role I play in that post, so I guess their reaction is due to either their kind hearted personality, or their sincere care of me due to our friendship or some other reason....
For these xangans, I'd like to say that I truly appreciate your support, kind gesture, positive comments, humor, LOLs, etc etc.... You guys are simply the best... Of course I think I have to mention one of them, due to her courage of cheering me up without even any regard of her safety from the xanga police (LOL)... and I call her CAN (because she called me MS all the time).... I think she's the coolest 50 years over girl I ever know online (offline, my grandma is the coolest, of course)...
There are other type of responses of course, but the one that I wanted to mention is the one that actually trigger this post (and the post title).... <However somehow I went bla bla bla too much before arriving to this point, haha...>
It was a comment from IWEK, that goes: "It's the quality not the quantity of the comments that count. Can you rate the comments on a sliding scale and then average them and them compare on quality? LOL"
It got me thinking.... Is it the number of comments that make me happy?
Logically, what she pointed out is right.... I should look for quality rather than quantity, right?
But, then, this thought comes to mind...
Just like any shallow (read: most) men would be 'happy' with the size of the boob without regard of whether it is real or fake, that is also how I am, where my ego would be happy with the amount of comments received without regard of whether it is a quality and thoughtful comment or simply a "LOL" comment
So, yeah....
Anyway, that's how I am when I'm in the realm of Xanga, where two department of my system tend to be in charge; my humor department which wants to laugh, laugh and laugh, and my ego department which wants attention, attention and more attention...
So what about you?
Does receiving lots of comments makes you happy?
Or, what is it that makes you happy around here?

People always say "shit happens"...
and yet I wonder if this is what they meant...
because if they were here when it happened (very recently)...
they will really say it out loud, "Oh shit!!"...
Not only will they say it out loud, they will also point their finger to the bathroom floor while saying it....
Yeah, I think you get the picture....
No? You still don't get the picture?
You are a little bit slow aren't ya?
Okay perhaps an illustration would help you get the picture...
Yeah, now surely you get the picture...
That was what happened...
Something got clogged in the trapway....
If you don't know what that is, this picture will help...
So when you flush, the water got stuck and don't go down thru the outlet as it should...
but instead the water level in the toilet bowl goes up....
Yucks!!!
Okay, with that already happen, somehow there's some genius thought that a bit more water would push the blockage in the trapway down, so without much thinking, the hand goes for the trip lever, and twist it to flush once again...
and guess what?
The blockage, whatever it is, stand firm....
and thus....
(yes, it is the same picture... cut me some slack, will ya? I'm already smell like poo)
There goes all the plan to enjoy the day out...
New schedule; toilet cleaning...
Unfortunately of course, because I don't have the number of this guy, I have to do it myself...
In this process, if you keep repeating "Shit! Shit! Shit!....", you would not actually be considered as swearing, but you are actually counting....
So yeah...
Just telling you guys what happened...
That's all...
Oh yeah!
and just to confirm, from a very personal experience....
Shit do happens!

Okay, it's quiz time....
Just a time to relax, feast your eyes, and use some brain cells to think about the question being posed....
Take a look at these pictures, and try to guess where it is, or at least in which country it is located....
Okay....
In which country would you guess this place to be?
Dubai? Singapore? Malaysia? USA? Canada? Any other country?
Try to just have a guest in mind before reading on....
Just for fun, will ya?
Alright!
You have a guess in mind?
Are you sure?
Well, yeah, okay....
It is in fact in INDIA.....
Did you guessed it right?
Yeeaaahhh..... of course you did....
Anyway, if you are planning to visit this place, you can check out the official website of the place, Aamby Valley City, in this link; Official Website
Of course there are other website talking about the place too, for example, this site, but I think you can Google it yourself....
I'm not sure why exactly I'm promoting the place here, haha...
But my request to you is simply, if somehow some of you go to the place, please please take lots of pictures, and share your experience with them photos in your blog, and don't forget to tag me...
That is simply my wish, as I don't think I will have the financial ability to actually go there in the near future...

Yep! You heard me right...
Xanga is dead...
That is my personal conclusion on what is happening around here...
Now, before going so pumped out or pissed off or jumping with joy or anything, let me lay out the reason why I end up with that conclusion....
Recently I have posted two posts; Just lemme say something will ya? and 4 Successful Ingredients of the Ish-sites that you can emulate ....
For those of you that have known me long enough, you would know that these two posts are really up there with other of my bestest posts eva....
But then, how did the two posts do on the Xanga box office?
In the words of the movie box office, it tanked...
In the words of them nerdy scorers, it flunked...
Okay, for a better view on the matter, lets compare the two recent posts with some similar posts in the past...
Just lemme say something will ya?
Comments: 40 eProps: 72
Comparing with another "one word post" of mine in the past;
Just a Rant
Comments: 51 eProps: 102
Notice the diferent?
Yeah, my recent "one word post" fare much worse than it used to be...
Now, moving on, to another recent post where I used two things that used to work fine in the past, 1. related to Xanga, and 2. it gives a list...
4 Successful Ingredients of the Ish-sites that you can emulate
Comments: 24 eProps: 36
Uurghh, just looking at those numbers would give me heart seizure...
Comparing to similar posts in the past;
Yayy!!! Xanga is not last afterall...
Comments: 75 eProps: 122
How did any of those "How to be a Xangalebrity" or the such posts work for you so far?

6 Things You Should Never Fail To Say To Her
Comments: 135 eProps: 108
Now, what went wrong, I wonder?
After serious post mortem and analyzing, the most obvious and logical conclusion that I can make of these strange phenomena is:
I am no longer as famous as before,
ie. not so many Xangan actually read my posts anymore
However, the largest and powerful department in my system, the EGO department, has rejected this conclusion as being completely and insanely impossible!
Thus, this leave us with only other possible conclusion that can be made:
Xanga is dead
So you have it, a comprehensive conclusion on what is really happening here in Xanga, brought to you exclusively from the sicko lab.
R.I.P Xanga
P.S: Perhaps I should try another type of post that went quite well in the past; a toilet post
"This or That" - The Toilet Edition

P.P.S: Who can tell that I'm writing this out of boredom, say "Aye!"
