Just a thought

I was discussing with a dear friend of mine a while back about the factors that will make your blog really popular. The factors that we could come up with were:

  1. You are a celebrity (of some sort. If you're not, then maybe you do know some celebs.)
  2. You've got a pretty or handsome face (or probably even good-looking friends)
  3. You include sex in your entries (or even sexy, nude pictures or best of all, porn. Your blog will definitely create a "virtual traffic congestion")
  4. You overflow your posts with discriminations of any kind etc, etc, etc.

My answer is probably all of the above. The reason why this topic came up was because I was just wondering what actually made so many blogs so popular. When I started blogging in 2003, I wanted my blog to be as popular. But now that I think of it again, I truly believe that it was a crazy thought. I mean, why should I even cares if my blog has thousands of people flocking to read it everyday? It's not like I will get paid for it, right?

Gosh, it's amazing, ain't it? I was so naive and gullible back then. I wanted to do and be excellent at what everyone else thought was cool. Shesh! But those were days that just makes me laugh whenever I reflect on it. The things I said, the people I met, the extent I would go to just to get something I cannot afford but which my friends had, etc. Sighs. Life...
