the blog of EVERYTHING JAPANESE!

*HK drama music plays*

…or something.

I don’t know what it is, but I’ve come to notice this little dramatic change. At first I thought it was just a coincidence, but it’s not. Really. No coincidence comes across you more than once, and it has to have happened around 7 times now.

As some should know, WordPress went on a deleting spree of sorts a little more than a week ago. Lex’s blog Beyond The Sea was deleted and so was Psycho Butterfly without any notice whatsoever (which are both located here and here now, for the record). Two of my blog entries were also deleted, but the little clever prick that I am, I restored them once more.

I think, from that point onwards, the traffic for this blog dropped dramatically as well. I went from 400 page-view per day, to 40 page-views per day, and the number’s dropping gradually even still. At first, it didn’t bother me much because I thought it was an unfortunate coincidence. But around the third day of this happening, I became curious.

I went to Google and typed out my blog’s address, and surprise surprise!~ It didn’t show up. Not in the normal sense anyway. I mean, if I go type “http://everythingjapanese.wordpress.com/”, it’s bound to show up, but not otherwise if I search for an artiste or anything. How do I know that it was showing up before? Because I’d checked earlier. And it used to show up when you typed ‘kagrra core review’, or anything else related for that matter.

So, yeah, I conclude that I’ve been blacklisted or summat because there’s no other possible explanation. (Apart from that the whole world hates me, but let’s not go there.)

I don’t know what to do. I can continue blogging and pretend that I don’t care how many people read, but that’s not the truth because I want people to read my opinions. I’m not an attention whore or anything, but seriously what’s the point of expressing your opinions when no one’s reading it? That’s like singing in the bathroom – you might be good, but no one can hear you, can they? (silly example, but bear with me right now)

Or I can transfer my server to blogger.com and be merry, that’s another option. But then, I do not like blogger.com’s services too much and I might be happy with 0 pageviews than blog about anything there. I know LJ is another option, but I do not like LJ either.

Or third and most plausible to me is to… go and start another blog, save a few of the ‘better’ reviews on it, and blog like I always do (and perhaps, blog about more personal things there too because I can never just sit with ‘reviewing’ stuff). In fact, that’s something that I probably would do in near future, because I just want to have one blog to vent out all of my feelings onto. I don’t care if it’s going to look messy, it’s just how I roll.

But most important to me right now is my studies. I would be on hiatus anyway because my exams are coming up (in less than a month, I might add) and I need to study for them. I won’t be able to update too often regardless of whether or not I have a new blog. So, if you were free enough to have read this much of this pointless blog entry, I thank you, and apologize for taking much of your time with my rantings.

In the end, the point of this long-winded typography is:

• Google hates me.
• Going to change to a new blog soon.
• Exams coming up, long hiatus anyway so not complaining.

Haha, sometimes it’s like mother-nature wants you to study so everything sets itself up in such that you’d have no choice but to cram your syllabus into your head.

Anyway, bless you if you managed to get this far. rofl XD
Arsal.

(PS. I never got the chance to post this. I made this button of sorts two years ago right when I got into Hikki. It sucks, I know, but just wanted to post it here XD)

EDIT: Just want to add something to this post. I notice I received some better traffic last night, so I checked where it was coming from. And ah, serendipity, the guys from International Wota have actually written a bit about my ranting place. XD HI THERE INT WOTA PEOPLE! THANK YOU FOR VISITING!

And um… yeah.
