FEEDJIT is a widget that display real-time webpage traffics, as oppose to Google Analytic where you have to wait for 24 hours before the data can be seen, a delay in other words. On the other side, the downfall of this widget, it's not as detail as in Google Analytic with graphs, pie charts and etc. to reflect a better traffics' characteristics. Pros and cons on both tools, therefore I added both. You can observed the instant traffics from this widget placed at the bottom of the right panel of my blog.

Anyhow, I discovered a funny data feeds from FEEDJIT. Let's venture:

The circled says, a visitor from Japan visited my blog with a title "The Beauty of the past" via search engine Google Japan with a searched keyword "beauty anus" :p! On clicking this link, it leads me to:

32nd Bon Odori (盆踊り) 2008 festival - Panasonic Sports Complex, Shah Alam, Malaysia.

1:20a.m, 13-July 08, Home.

On 12-July 08 (Saturday), one of the auspicious Japanese festivals was held in Panasonic Sports Complex, the Bon Odori. Our Japanese class organised an unofficial trip to this event. This is my first time to attend such event and it was a magnificent and an exciting trip overall :).

In the past, where I worked in JVC Shah Alam as an engineer, once a while, heard of this event, however unable to participate, due to tremendous workload. Tremendous as in, where everyone delightfully countdown for New Year, undoubtedly, had to work :(! By the way, for your information, Panasonic Sports Complex is just opposite to JVC plants. So near yet so far :)! Anyhow, it was still a fabulous experience working in this multinational company :).

Definition of Bon Odori (盆踊り) quoted from Wikipedia:

"Obon (お盆) or just Bon (盆) is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the departed (deceased) spirits of one's ancestors. This Buddhist custom has evolved into a family reunion holiday during which people return to ancestral family places and visit and clean their ancestors' graves, and when the spirits of ancestors are supposed to revisit the household altars. Also called the Feast of Lanterns, it has been celebrated in Japan for more than 500 years and traditionally includes a dance (Odori - 踊り), known as Bon-Odori."

プレストンさん、体 が いい ほしい？

午前１２：３６、７月１１日２００８年、家 に。

私の　体重は　重く　なりました。　体重　を　下げる　ために、　ジムへ　行かな　ければ　なりません。







２月２６日２００８年　から、　カリフォニア　フィツネツーに　申し込みました。　健康　が　いいか　どうか、　ジムで　初めて　運動　する　時、　体の　調子　を　はかって　おきます。


体の　資料　を　まとめた　あとで、　インストラクターと　相談しました。

Bla….bla….bla…

結果は　私の　体重　８０．２４キロで、　太りすぎ　でした！　気分　が　悪かった　です！　すぐ　毎週　三回以上　運動する　予定　を　決めました。

二週間　あとで、　インストラクターと　もう　一度　会う前に、　私の　体重　を　はかったら、　８０キロ　でした。

私：“この　運動の　予定の　とおりに、　すれば、　一ヶ月に　どれくらい　体重　が　下がるか、　説明　して　下さい。”

インストラクター：“フン。。。。、　この　予定は　３キロ以上　ぐらい　が　下げられます。”

私：“本当　ですか？　今　二週間　あとで、　０．２４キロだけ　下げて、　１．５キロ　が　下がりません　でした？　どうして？”　びっくり　して　言いました。

インストラクター：“オウ！。。オウ！。。多分。。。食べる　習慣　が　適当　では　有りません。　毎朝　何が　食べるか、　 言って　下さいませんか。　例えば、　ロチ　チャナイ　か　ナシ　レマク を　食べました？”

「ロチ　チャナイ　 と　ナシ　レマクの　カロリ　が　高いです」

私：“いええ、　食べません。　パン　か　面　だけ　を　食べます。”

インストラクター：“夕食は　どうだった？　よく　食べました？”

私：“食べません。　いつも、　二杯　晩御飯　を　食べて　いました。　しかし、　今　一杯　しか　食べて　いません。”

インストラクター：“おかしい　結果　ですね、　ちょっと　すみません、　分かりません。”

私も　当惑　しました！

三週間　あとで、　体重　を　もう　一度　はかったら、　７９．２キロ　でした。

私　が　私に　話しました：“１キロだけ　下げました。　一ヶ月に、　１キロ　しか　下げられません。　３キロは　正しくない！”と　思いました。

四週間　あとで、　土曜日に　私の　部屋　を　自分で　掃除　したり、　片ずけたり　しました。　私の　体の　資料　を　見ました。　もう　一度　読んで、　びっくり　しました！

私の　体重　が　違う　のが　分かりました！　８０．２４キロ　では　有りません　でした、　でも　８２．４キロ　でした！　意味は　一ヶ月に　本当に　３キロ以上　が　下げられる　ので　嬉しかった　です！


自分で　見ま違いました！ Cehhhh! :p
