Heyyyy Russia :P

Today, while I was checking my blog stats, I found out that I had 12 views from Russia in the last 2 days, 6 of which today. Now, I didn't usually have many views lately because.. well.. I stopped posting for a HALF A YEAR and all.. but still those few views I got in the last 2 days got me wondering..

Is this one person who viewed more than one of my posts? Or just a few Russians who happened to barge into my blog through Google coincidentally?

I have always wondered about that whenever I get a 25 from Germany or a 20 from U.S in a day or something ever since I started my blog..
And I realized that I would rather my blog to be the least known among the World with a few loyal followers than post about all the popular "most commonly Googled stuff" (if a list like that even exists :P) and have a ton views of "passer-by's"- although by the way I appreciate every viewer, even the one who randomly bumped into my blog out of the blue and decided to leave and never come back ;)

So that made me think of all the famous actors, writers, even politicians and what they did to get that ever wanted fame. And I started feeling really sorry for the ones that passed my mind who were nothing but jokes- people who were ready to do anything and everything to follow the stereotype and become "popular". We criticize some actors and actresses for that, but history and society is rife with examples of politicians and even scientists (yes scientists! the only name I have in mind right now is of one who is still alive though.. ehem. Don't want any hate emails lol) who were moved by nothing but the lust for fame. And where has this got us?!

Countries all over the World that are deteriorating financially, ethically, politically, and in every other way because of unfit leaders- those with hollow and unrealistic promises in elections to get the agreeing nods of everyone, and nothing but selfish motives and actions when they get that position, a position respected by everyone. Leaders whether as employers, principals, professors, politicians, and so on- from the student running for head of student body to the presidents or countries. 

Sadly, most run for such positions for personal motives, for the "all for one" before the "one for all". I don't mean to condemn every leader out there. I just realized that we humans are inclined  to be selfish, but if we think, we will realize that easy popularity among everyone is usually not the right path to traverse. Doing what you believe in because you know it's the right thing to do will usually gain you a few avid fans that will respect your strong personality whilst standing for what you believe in against discouraging atmospheres.    

And just a side note, I just googled "Most commonly googled things " and found an actual list for 2012! I knew Olympics2012 would be on the 2012 list ! That's why my friend got all those views after posting about it! Gotta go google the "potential most commonly googled things in 2013"

... Oops!

Lost... and Found

Today, I cried.... Once, while I was talking to a friend about getting a Twitter account I remember she said " Twitter is like so stupid! You basically have to tweet all you do.. like you fart, you tweet 'I farted' " Now, although I told her how wrong she was, I couldn't help myself from laughing! I mean, yeah that's what most people now do, just use the social networks in shallower and shallower ways, that those networks lose the meaning they once held "to connect people". And the first sentence in my post probably gave you the same impression. XD But for a feelingless (which by the way, I know isn't a word that exists in the dictionary, yet I believe describes me perfectly that I decided to use it. It just sounds right; I mean "unfeeling", the "right"word just sounds wrong to me! Feelingless has more emotion, you know.. so the next time they ask you where you got a word you feel comfortable using from, you tell them

It's Strength to give up

There was this girl. (There always is isn't there?  A girl, a boy, a man, woman.. there  is always someone who is suffering out there. And do we care? Do you? Do I? We don't! No one does. I might be just going though hormonal issues over here. But maybe I actually have something worthwhile to say. I don't know, and I always cared about "tweaking" my every post before publishing it, but I won't be giving this one another glance the moment I finish it. I don't care if someone out there reads it or not. I don't care if they can/ relate/ agree or whatever. I am angry. I tried to make this a cheery blog, but I 'm angry. Deal with it.  I hate those angry blogs- always called them nonsense and "too dramatic".  I guess I'm just full of crap myself now!!) There was this girl.  She was sad.  And no one cared. She wasn't a saint, not even close, but she sure as hell knew she didn't deserve what she got.  She ma

Mercantilism

Image
This time I decided I would share with you something I learned in my History class.  Mercantilism sounds like such a tough word, when all along it actually describes a very basic economic aspect. Basically, it is an economic idea which asserts that government control over foreign trade is necessary for the prosperity and security of the nation. Which means that the country basically makes sure that it exports more than it imports to make sure that it gets as much income as possible. One of the most popular examples of mercantilism would be Great Britain, which used its colonies to the full, allowing all their goods to be exported through itself and only itself. Of course, some goods were even on the "black list" of exports, like gold, for example, which Britain only imported.  This is a really nice video that explains it all... not as good as Mrs. Zunaira of course, but close enough :P So then, basically, it was a country's main way of gaining supreme p
