100,000 HITS!!

September 1, 2008

thank you

Omg, I can’t believe that I actually hits the 6 digits ( > _ < ). I didn’t expect it to be this soon ^^;

As you might have known, I’ve started this blog at the beginning of January this year, the day when I switched over from my “dead” Livejournal account ^^; Of course, I won’t be able to get this far without the helps of you guys ^^

Most of my traffics came from Otaku.fm and Animenano, so I really want to give my big thanks to Danny of Dannychoo.com (Also for the occasional “hijacked” news) and Hung of Animenano for letting me join the community ^^

Also I want to thank the following Top 5 fellow blogger for reffering my blog the most:

1. Anime-Baka – Fariz Asuka
2. Exelica Meteor – James
3. Deathseeker – Panther
4. Gordonator – Gordon
5. Squee Junk Yard – Squee

I thought I would also share my stastics a little bit to celebrate this ^^

My traffics actually shot out around June and July after I joined Animenano, also after we created the Team Blue community (also I urged you guys to join us) ^^ Thanks to these, right now I’m averaging at 800 – 1000 hits per day, with August 3rd as the highest at 1,700 hits, thanks to Wonder Festival 2008 Summer ^^ Highest total hits fall at August with 29,500 Hits total.

All this statistics really motivated me to keep improving my blog. I definitely will try my best to keep you guys updated with the latest news on Figures and Gunpla (which right now kind of slow~XD ), and also other related news. I will also try to catch up with the backlog reviews on Figures and Gunpla as soon as possible ^^

Just want to thank you guys again for all the support all this time, and also for those who came frequently and commented on my blogs all the time. I apologized if I didn’t reply your comment in time sometimes ^^;

THANK YOU!!

To tell the truth, I’m not really that impressed with the paint work on the final one. Maybe because of the lightening or any that affects the pictures, but nevertheless, they still have time to improve on them. Looks like a rush work to me ^^; Both are scheduled for January 2009 release.
