Girls Have The Highest Visitors

Posted by danielctw On June - 25 - 2008

My mind is in a dilemma now! Why do I think so? Simple, I was wondering in the world of blogging, if you’re writing about how boring is your life now, what you did in school, what you ate for breakfast it will be a not good enough read for most people. But you wait and wait and wait….. there’s something though regarding this kind of post in relation to guys and girls.

You see, if a GUY posted these stuffs, he’ll be deemed a crap, an emo and such an unimaginative guy who can’t think out of the box. He’ll be branded as a boring person.

Now compare it to a GIRL who’s been blogging about her everyday life, and you’ll see the amount of hits she’s generating even though topics such as those are emerging. Well, though there’s also a catch. All she needs is to show her pretty face and maybe flaunt a bit in the blog and TA-DAHHH, you’ll see constant visits to her blog. Weird isn’t it? But in a way it’s true coz I am one of those visiting LOL.

With my weird intuition it has finally made me understood as to what I should do. Now what should I choose now?

Should I become a Westerner

Danielle Loyd Sexy

Or Should I become an Asian

Do you get my point right now? If you don’t please ask your friends to come visit this page and figure it out. hehehe (more visits more visits…)

ps : I need more time to modify certain settings…

Made New Friends in SocialSpark

Posted by danielctw On June - 25 - 2008

It’s been like a month since I joined SocialSpark and I must say I am really impressed with all the ongoings and stuffs. Though one thing I lacked though is not doing any available opportunities in SocialSpark yet. Maybe this is the first one though.

Okay, for those clueless on what SocialSpark actually is, it’s a social networking site where one can also monetize their blogs, build community and drive traffic. It’s that simple really. Register and get ready to earn money and build up your network.

You must have wondered though, “But but but… Google’s going to penalized if we do sponsored post.”

Well, have no fear, one good thing about SocialSpark is that the links come with a nofollow tag. Now that’s one good news for those concern about their Page Rank.

As mentioned in their code of ethics, you have the answers to your everyday earnings.
-100% Audit-able In-Post Disclosure
-100% Transparency
-100% Real Opinions
-100% Search Engine Friendly

Well, the most though is I get to make new friends, which I don’t know exist. Well, other people from other parts of the world too. Here’s a sample screenshot of how the friend request goes…

Friend Request SocialSpark

Kinda simple to understand. Anyway here’s another note, who else has an account in SocialSpark, do add me. It’ll be easier to stay connected too. Unlike other social networking sites too, I can even add prop for a socialsparker and even get propped by them. This enhances creditability and your standing in the SocialSpark network.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, Advertisers are also welcomed to take part in SocialSpark, well, without advertisers there wouldn’t be bloggers at all right. Without bloggers there wouldn’t be advertisers too. I am glad that SocialSpark realized the importance of creating a medium for advertisers to advertise their advertisements using the blog method. In this age and time, going online is the sure bet.

Well, I am going to explore more stuffs first. Oh ya, you can look for me though, my name is Weird Daniel in SocialSpark. Hehehehe….

Gunung Nuang Waterfall

Posted by danielctw On June - 22 - 2008

Expedition to Gunung Nuang, the group that will be going up and climbing the whole time. Well, not necessarily climbing all the way to the top, but nevertheless at least reach to the first waterfall stop. Well, along with both of my Sony Alpha buddies and another Dark Side (Nikonian), we’re going to go on the hike.

D40

Here’s a description of Mount Nuang (Gunung Nuang) based on Wikipedia.

Mount Nuang (Malay: Gunung Nuang) is located in Malaysia with the height of 1493 meter. Its peak marks the meeting point of three Malaysian states; Negeri Sembilan, Pahang dan Selangor. The mountain itself is the highest point in Selangor and part of the Titiwangsa Mountains.

There are three hiking routes to the peak and all of them were built by Malaysian Department of Wildlife and National Parks. Two of them start in Selangor; one at Kuala Pangsoon in Hulu Langat and another at Kampung Kemensah in Gombak. The third path originates from Bukit Tinggi in Bentong, Pahang. Genting Highlands is visible at night from the peak.

So onward we go!

Gunung Nuang Walk

Snap!! Snap!! Snap!!

So we are now at the waterfall and eeerr… why is my photo dark. Well, actually right, I put in my ND filter too fast. O_o

Reached The Waterfall

LOL!! We’ve got someone who is good in posing there. Ho! Ho! Ho!

People kept saying I take better scenery than portraits. Well, in a way, I believe that is so too, that’s why I am Nikonian. Or maybe just that to me I hardly take portraits as I take scenery shots and environment more. Well, when you’re an adventurer, you’re bound to take more scenery shots.

Then I realized I had a shot at the waterfall. This shot is much better than the waterfall shot in Sabah. Well, thanks to the filter doing it’s work and improving on it.

Diving Break Redang

Posted by danielctw On June - 19 - 2008

The title is just your normal average title. But what can I say, I am going for a diving break in one of the beautiful island of Peninsular Malaysia. Well, I think all of you have guessed it again, it’s another round of Redang Island. Though this time it will be more and more people. I am bringing a group of ShoutOuters (some people refer to them as Shouters) with me and this time let’s hope for an amazing time.

Sad To See You Not Beside Me

See!!! See!!! Jolin also misses me. How eh?? Hehehehe…. well, but with every adventure, there’s bound to be more photos right :) .

I will bring in a surprise every now and then during the days I am not here. Yes, I will only be back on Monday late night.

Miss me you will – Yoda :P

Redang 2004 Photo

A backdated photo of Redang in year 2004. Those days the corals were magnificent. I missed the good old Redang Island days when there were not that many people.

ps: I created a function to close ShoutOut and Open Shoutout, mighty cool, actually there’s a reason to it :)
