Blogging Heroes

Assalamualaikum.

I was reading a some kind of interesting book entitled "Blogging Heroes" by Michael A. Banks which tells about the interview between the author with Top 30 Popular Blogger in US. I borrowed that book at my office's library. When I saw it for the first time, I felt like "hey, this is a good book!". Why I said like that? I have a blog and it was so frustrating because it's been more than 2 years but only have 33 followers! However, I am very thankful to those who were willing to reading and following my blog. I'm not such as other bloggers who have hundreds or thousands of followers although only a year. Perhaps they are more creative and know how to make work in blogging than me.

Ok, let's leave that story behind and let's read my review about this book.

"Blogging is addictive. It consumes an incredible amount of time, energy, and effort. It is their passion. And these bloggers wouldn't have it any other way. Among more than 1 million blogs, a few stand out as influential, ground breaking, and singularly successful"

 

It's very convincing and I strongly agreed with that opinion. The book's also shared about ethics in blogging. I'm not so good to portray this book, but I can only give a few quotes that are very useful for quick tips when making blogging.

 

"Use your blog to share your expertise and show your professionalism" by Ina Steiner (AuctionBytes)

 

"Be yourself. Don't try to imitate someone else's style or voice" by Mary Jo Foley (All About Microsoft)

 

"If you go into blogging because you have a passion about something you want to share or explore, I think you're going to succeed, because that's nature for it" by Frank Warren (PostSecret)

 

"Pay attention to other bloggers. Link to them. Connect to their sites. Assuming you're writing about subject that other people are interested in, you communicate well enough, people will find you" by Mike Masnick (Techdirt)

 

"If you want to bring in readers and keep them coming back, you have to produce good content, and be consistent, reliable, and trustworthy" by Christ Grant (Joystiq)

 

"My advice on getting more traffic is to participate in others blogs" by Gary Lee (An Internet Marketing Web Site)

 

Thus, it's the quotes that I think can be shared to all of you. The fourth quotation was very appropriate for me. I rarely participate with other bloggers. Maybe I can try that tips. ;)

 

So, good luck! And try to read this book.

Patience Is Part of the Routine of Life

Alhamdulillah, aku dah pun start semester baru. Baru semester 3 je. Sebenarnya, baru dua semester lepas, aku dah mula rasa penat. Patah semangat pun iye jugak. Aku rasa macam waktu tu panjang sangat. Maybe aku travel pergi balik Shah Alam duduk dalam kereta lama-lama kut. Bila penat belajar campur penat pergi kerja, Allah yang mengetahui segalanya. Cekal ke tak cekal ke, kuat ke tak kuat ke hati aku, no one knows. Only my Allah knows. Sometimes, i felt "that's it! Enough then. I'm so tired and had no times for my families!" Tapi bila aku fikir balik.. "Kalau berhenti rugi, separuh masa aku dah habiskan pergi belajar. Takkan aku nak quit macam tu je? Sikit punya susah payah masa kau nak apply kejar sana kejar sini, senang-senang kau nak lepas opportunity kau belajar? No way!" My dad had said "complete the matter that you have start" Sebenarnya bukan apa, hati aku besar kecik je nak pergi Shah Alam. Jauh kut!

Ayah aku sure tak happy kalau aku quit. Ramai classmate aku stuck semester 2. Sekarang tinggal seciput dua. Last semester aku tak ambil dua paper yang sepatutnya aku kena ambil masa part 2. Sekarang, aku kena ambil sebab nanti takut ada continuos subject. Kalau aku tak ambil sekarang, aku tak boleh more further with another advance subject. So, jadinya aku tertinggal dari classmates aku yang lain. Haih..

Thanks to Google Images.

Very meaningful. I'm telling you what, i am not a good learner. Very slow bila terima suatu pembelajaran. Orang perli aku pun aku boleh buat derk. Pasal aku tak paham. Slow nak paham. That's my weakness. Puas dah makan kismis siang malam kasi jangan tepu, tapi sama jugak. My others friends semua dah berjaya. Alhamdulillah. Ijazah surely dah ada. But me? Not yet.

Sabar itu separuh daripada iman. Apa nak buat? Sabar je lah. 

Talked About Diet

Now, i would like to talk about DIET. Eh, letih lah asyik cerita pasal diet. Kau tak kurus-kurus jugak! Ok lah. Memang aku tak kurus-kurus pun. Cerita lebih! Bila nak kurus balik pun aku tak tahu. It's hard. Really-really hard bila kau nak kurus. Kau kena kurang makan. Kena exercise. Kena active. And honestly, i'm not kindly in that type. Susah untuk aku yang berat macam berat jantan. Aku perempuan tapi berat MAK OI. Kalah kau nyah! Aku rasa aku pernah post pasal aku diet dulu. Aku lupa. Ah, malas lah aku nak link balik.

 

Sayur. Kau rasa, kau larat ke nak makan sayur semata tiap-tiap hari? Aku? Tekak melayu tetap nasi dengan sambal belacan jugak. Aku jugak bukan pemakan sayur sejati. Kalau order char kuey teow lepas tu ada taugeh, aku asing satu-satu sampai tinggal kuey teow dengan udang campur kerang je. Susah betul!

 Disebabkan aku susah sangat or senang cakap tak disiplin nak ikut diet yang teratur tanpa mengambil apa-apa suplemen, aku ambil Herbalife. Suplemen yang berasaskan herba. Aku ambil Formula 1 Shake dengan Tea and honestly, memang tak berapa nak sedap. Formula 1 Shake tu aku ambil perisa Dutch Chocolate. Bancuh dengan air sejuk and minum setiap pagi. Lepas tu jangan makan berat selama 4 jam. Sepanjang 4 jam tu aku bilas dengan Tea dia. Memang terkencing kut! Sikit-sikit kencing. Memang tak nyempat ah. Aku kena minum 3 liter Tea atau kena minum 500ml Tea bersama 3 liter air kosong sehari setiap hari. Kenapa aku kena minum Tea? Sebab Tea Herbalife bersifat antioksidan dalam badan selain memberi tenaga dan memecahkan lemak. Tengahari aku kena makan heavy tapi berpada lah. Lepas tu aku kena bilas dengan Tea Herbalife jugak. Makin banyak kau makan manis atau berat, makin banyak kau kencing.

Malam? Aku minum Formula 1 Shake lagi untuk kenyangkan perut aku. Kalau rasa lapar, aku minum air je sampai aku sendawa biawak. If aku ada kelas pulak, aku tak ambil Shake malam sebab tak berapa nak kenyang sangat and aku tak boleh belajar dalam keadaan lapar. Hahaha. So aku kena pandai-pandai bajet nak makan. Aku jugak ada ambil treatment London Weight Management. Weekend je lah aku pergi. Itu untuk fizikal sahaja. Nak firm balik body aku. So, tak lah flabby kan? Besides, boleh keluar peluh sebab aku memang jarang nak berjogging.

Em..banyak jugak berhabis. Aku nak kurus bukan sebab cantik semata-mata. Yang penting, aku nak sihat. Banyak penyakit bila jadi obesiti walaupun aku obes tahap 1. Aku sendiri tak percaya badan aku boleh lebar macam ni. Masa berat 50kg dulu asyik ingat diri ni gemuk. Sekarang, ha! Hambek kau! Apa yang kau pikir dulu betul-betul jadi kenyataan.

Takut!

Entry Petang

Assalamualaikum.

Selamat petang!

Dan selamat menjamu selera goreng pisang panas plus kopi 'o' kaow!

Em..kau nak aku cerita apa? Lately, aku macam kering idea nak merepek sangat kat sini. Bila umur dah naik setahun ni macam malas nak merepek-repek lagi. Hahah! Bajet nyampah kut macam kau matured sangat..

 Alhamdulillah, kerol balik esok dari Korea, insyaAllah. Result untuk game dia hari tu, unfortunately, Malaysia tak menang dengan Singapore yang ternyata tak pakai tenaga orang tempatan langsung dan  HANYA PAKAI TENAGA BARAT. Tak aci lah kan, kita kerah kudrat orang tempatan yang majoriti berbadan kecil, diorang kerah kudrat omputeh yang majoriti badan macam The Rock.. Takpe, takpe. Aci tak aci, aci kat India yeh! Sebelum kerol ke korea, aku tengok dia macam kurus jek.

Hari ni Malaysia against Phillippines. Malaysia wajib menang untuk kekalkan gelaran dan kedudukan sebagai Division 1 rugby team for Asia. Kalau jatuh Division 2, malu kut. Apalagi division 3. Alhamdulillah, ranking Malaysia tempat kelapan dalam Asia. Walaupun sukan rugby tak dapat tempat sangat kat hati rakyat Malaysia, sekurang-kurangnya sukan ni dapat kedudukan top 10 Asia walaupun kalah teruk masa Komanwel kat India dulu. Actually, aku frust sangat bila aku selak paper mesti tak ada perkembangan rugby. Balik-balik cerita pasal bola. Tak pun cerita pasal Safee Sali main bola kat Indon. Eh eh, jeles nampak! Em..kalau nak tau sangat kena bukak channel Astro Arena.

Bola..mana-mana pergi pun, bola. Masa level sekolah menengah dulu siapa dapat couple dengan mamat bola je dah famous satu sekolah. Haih.. Bola...Bola..

Takpe, takpe, be low profile.

Orang lain suka bola bulat, aku suka bola lonjong pulak. Bola rugby kan lonjong.

KAHAKAHKAHAK! geli kut!

Ok, nak cerita lain pulak.

Nama je ada laptop canggih, tapi tak pernah pakai. Aku godek kat paint. Aku pun start drawing.

Tada!!

Lukisan hodoh nak mam*tet*

Lukis pakai mouse je kut. Mana mampu nak beli tablet. Aku bukan cartoonist pun. Membazir!
