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!!
