i survived the first week of school fyeah!!! :D
Sometimes you wonder why some people are so bloody famous for no reason.
Or even worse, for the very same reasons.
Fashion bloggers, how the hell did they get so famous?!
And the Singapore bloggers as well, how did they get so famous?
By blogging about their lives?
Well what makes their lives so bloody amazing compared to us, how did they manage to escape our boring system and have so much fun, or maybe they manage to play so well within boundaries that it makes their blogs so much more interesting than yours. Or their lives more enjoyable?
It's kinda weird isn't it, how people manage to get famous for nothing, because a bunch of humans are willing to spend a few minutes of their day reading about what he or she did that day and commenting on it, whether they even know the blogger or not.
If you really think about it, there isn't much to their blogs. The only reason why their lives are so amazing is because they have so many opportunities which, without their audience, would not be possible.
We empower these bloggers. Let's say if everyone stopped reading Xiaxue's blog for a month.
Literally.
She has ZERO views for a month.
How great is she now? She definitely would not be considered a famous blogger, she'd just be forgotten.
In case you're assuming so, I don't hate Xiaxue, and I don't read her blog regularly either.
I think it's extremely amazing that she manages to get so many views, and a few minutes ago when I read her blog to figure out why, well, I have no idea.
Her first post wasn't something huge like "WOOHOO just got signed on by Hollywood!" or anything like that, it was about her A'levels. Very ordinary. It was in 2003.
By 2004 she was getting hate mail. WTF?
And as the years go by her posts decrease and the viewership increases and she starts getting paid because others read her blog. Others are willing to read about a text message exchange between her and her friend, or her friend ditching her, or how her little birthday went.
Of course her posts are extremely entertaining now,
but how did she get her viewers?
Because she writes about her life the way thousands write about theirs?
it's so weird how the world spins around certain people.
it's like the CHI in all the universe swirling around that lucky person.
You know how sometimes you have NO text messages and then all of a sudden you get like 15 messages for different reasons, and it's a very ordinary day not your birthday or CNY or sth?
That's like CHI flowing around you.
And for these lucky people, they have LOADS of CHI.
Because they definitely didn't work hard to get where they are. They just... did.
ARGH CHI please flow around me, not for my blog of course that's so unimportant compared to other aspects of my life. Flow around my BANK ACCOUNT tyvm (:
Anyways I survived the first week of school so yay me
God please give me strength to survive the year!
