1st Anniversary!

Posted on 04.23.09 to Balderdash, Site Matters by foomafoo

Hisashiburi. I’m confident to say now that I won’t go hiatus anymore for the whole month until last week of May!!!

Anyway, wow, it is already my 1st anniversary as an anime blogger and it is such a pleasure meeting all kinds of people here in the aniblogosphere. I’ve experienced a lot of shortcomings as a blogger and I’d really like to thank all people that kept on commenting, supporting and reading this blog of mine, or did anything to help me(in any form and shape). These people includes: blissmo, kanzeon & tsui, Gargron, 7, ron~, Nagato, Choux, Hoshi and Sakura, Minnie, Kitsune, usagijen, hazy, Kairu, Kriselle, manga, scheneider, animekritik, ghostlightning(via twitter), Baka-Raptor(just recently), ritchan, Ryan A, tflops, and of course the readers that came across my site. Oh, please don’t hate if I have forgot mentioning your name… Oh and of course my very first linker and top referrer Ü Omni-senpai. Also, thanks to my first aggregator which is Anime Nano care of Hung and Kabitzin.

It was such a fruitful whole year since I can tell that my I have partly achieved my main purpose on blogging and that is to practice my writing skills. Well, I didn’t master any but I can tell that my writing style improved compared to my very very very first posts and I’m indebted to all animebloggers that I have read so far.

There are more years to come and I’m certain of it. –> Oops did I just pledged something.

Oh well, I’ll be working hard to maintain this site of mine even though you’ll get to see entries every month, I’ll be ensuring everyone that helped me so far to keep up what I’m doing so their effort in helping me won’t be wasted.


And of course, my short-term goal for this spring break would be to reach 100 posts since I’ve got 87 so far! And, 300 comments.

For now, what I’m trying to improve would be motivation and inspiration sources since I hardly have. I’m also trying to improve my post frequency which could only be achieved if I achieved the first one.

I really hate my finals week because I failed to do a wrap-up post for Tales of Abyss and Toradora and I just can’t motivate myself to do it just nao since it’s already 3rd week of Spring, it’s too late :(

Also, the only project so far which is covering DC episodes is still on! Haha, I want to challenge myself so this is still operational. I might cover the first movie in commemoration of Conan’s birthday on May 4. Hahaha. Okay that’s it for now.

                  ~Yay! Congrats on your 1st year and wishing you many more to come!

                  And you're welcome. Glad I could be of some help to a fellow anime (and DC!) fan. Keep up the good work! ^_^

                      Congratulations on your first year. Cheers to the many to come. Bloging is fun right? Keep working at it and the posts and comments will come.

                      At least you have stuff you want to write about. I have lots of ideas, but none of them work out nicely when I start writing them. Which is a real shame since there are just so much I want to write about.

                      Do take time and write about Tales of the Abyss. I want to read it :) If you´ve played the game as well then for all that is holy write about it.

                            I actually have wrote already about the RPG itself but I haven't wrote an analysis for the anime yet. I enjoyed the game but I don't think I enjoyed the anime that much as well although I appreciated the more defined cut scenes from the anime. (TotA)

                            I also have lotsa drafts as well but they are just stocked there waiting to be finished and polished.

                            Thanks manga.

                                      Yeah, you've commented and linked my site and that is already counted as a help so don't think about it that much. Anyway, Thanks since you've made it here after that long hiatus.

                                          I rarely have drafts :p I tend to publish them unpolished…

                                          and as said, I can´t think of a good way to write the stuff I want. And I have problems deciding on how to do things. And I spend way to much time editing the theme… still not satisfied with it.

                                                Sorry, I just experienced problems in replying in intense debate and I’ve decided not to implement it anymore. If you really want avatars permanently beside your name during comments, try getting a gravatar. Haha, sorry for the intense debate thing. Back to old style :?

                                                  Yeah, I’m also fond of editing the theme every now and then XD — which often eats up my time.

                                                    Yup. Very tiring to edit the themes. And I suck a choosing colors. How much ads should there be and what not…

                                                    So many choices, so little time.

                                                              It also brings a smile to my face that one of your reasons for blogging mirrors mine. :D
