eastcoastlife Quits Blogging -- My Last Post

I was kinda expecting this day to come. I'm forced to closed down my blog. The blogosphere is disorganised and thus not as powerful as the real world. There is no rules nor laws governing it. And when bloggers only care for their own benefits (higher rankings, more traffic, more clicks on their Adsense) and want more for themselves, it is harder to bring it to a higher level or expand. Someone will lose out in the competition for survival.

I would like to thank my fans, fellow bloggers, loyal supporters and readers for stopping by eastcoastlife. You have brought me joy, anger, tears and laughter. I only have a string of 4-letter words to describe my feelings now. Don't tempt me say it.

The End of Blogsophere!

siwwypig was swift to retaliate with her meme after I tagged her on Tuesday. This is what to expect when you tag people, they would tag you back at the very first opportunity! So lazy smart people don't want to do tags.

Long overdued meme. My apology to siwwgpig. I didn't forget, it was in my mind and draft all this time.

hehehehe .... feeling cheated? Remember the story, 'The boy who cried wolf'?' Wonder if the next time my readers would ignore my posts or not. Everyone who reads this gets tag. What will your last post be like?

Outwit. Outplay. Outlast. - Survivor Blogsphere!

Your presence on blogosphere is considered a blessing to many out there. Remember this, you will always be needed. =)

Dave said...

Dear EastCoast,

I too have been informed by the IBP (international blog police) that I will no longer be able to post to the net. They forced thier way into my computer screen and took away my cursor and the letter Q. I have been fined and sentenced to hard labor on a water raft in the Pacific Ocean. I hope to return to the world of blogger's through the black market and under an assumed idenity.

But you my friend are a riot. You made me smile with this post.

Fleck said...

Wah! I thot you really closing down! Don't leh, still got friends blogging around what. See you next post lah.

oceanskies79 said...

For one moment, I had thought you really mean what you wrote.

Jon

Tell me you're doing the silly end of the blog meme. Please! It seemed blatant. But after reading other comments maybe my England is not so good to understand what's happening.

oceanskies79 said...

Your English is good. As such, I was tricked into believing that you are really going to quit blogging when I read the first two paragraphs of this post.

Maybe I am gullible?

oceanskies79 said...

My last post...maybe I won't write an official last post. I don't have plans to stop blogging, so if anything ends up being my last post. It could be because I have left this world.

eastcoastlife said...

uncle sha,
alamak! You really think I'm quitting! aiyaaah...

eastcoastlife said...

oceanskies,
ok, hehe... you have no problem understanding my English. That's good enough for me. :)
