Review and plan for 08/09

It is nearly end of 2008. This year I have discovered a few things in my life and also rediscovered some stuff I have forgotten about on the past few years. It has been nearly two years after I came back from Japan in October 2006 and I still miss Japan a lot. But still, I am back on the otaku track although it was not the same as the one I had before. I met some friends online leading up to more friends. Things are getting in place slowly.

I started this blog on end of September and I think I have worked hard on it for the past 3 months. Total of 101 posts and with the help of some  major event report like BAKUC, ACF and Comic Fiesta I got total of 3,562 views to this date with the highest acess per day on 17th November with 215 views. Most of the traffic came from The Figure Mall and I want to thank Kev, Aiko, Valho, Quaz, Haruji, e-jump and Sora for including me in your blogroll and linking some of my posts on your blog. I was also added to Happy Soda’s link page and I really want to thank SuperRat for including me there. 

I still resist to register myself on Danny’s otaku.fm because I still feel this blog haven’t achieve anything yet. Sometimes I was thinking “borrowing” Danny’s traffic will benefit me in many ways but I just don’t want to be a pathetic blog serving Danny’s fan with crap stuff on every post. I am not ready to stand the pressure so I will wait for just a little more.

Some things I want to improve:

- a lot of grammar and spelling mistake 

- very few description on photos, sometimes the description are lame

-overall I am suck at writing description – need to read more and do some googling about this

For the planning part I have finally decided to blog on my own host. I have been depending on the easy way now I need to learn the real thing. Everything need to start from scratch so I really need to stay focused and do things accordingly. Roughly I am thinking of a blog logo and theme. I want to use more of Kusakabe Misao and she will appear here and there in the new design. I am also thinking of printing some name cards for cosplay/potrait photography purpose. 

That is all I can say for now. Let’s hope what I write here doesn’t end up remain as plan on next year’s review and plan.
