Photo, photo, photo! *goes the crowd*

I believe your photos will make the web look much nicer.
I can't be sure of course, for I haven't seen you in person, but a girl who runs has usually a nice posture to show ... and I guess there isn't more to your pictures.

I will comment. I am very much looking forward to it too.

PS. Should we, who're going to see you, also publish the photos of us?

One scantily-clad photo is worth a thousand words :)

P.S. Or is this all an elaborate April Fool's Day joke?

Oh, I just realized that your P.S., commenting on girls who blog their shopping in an unengaging way ..., is also about Ulala, right?
Well, she's engaging to me. She definitely has a sense of humor, not at all profound, I agree, but not that cheap either; a light spirit she is.
It's so that more profound blogs deserve less attention than lighter ones.
Ulala also has a very cute sister.

Oh, regarding the April Fool's Day, its point is to be somebody's fool, right.

My pleasure, if that is so. :)

PS. Nekaj prvoaprilskih slovenskih blogovskih

I have a nagging suspicion that we won't see those photos. I wouldn't mind seeing them, though.

United wankers guessed right. :) It was an attempt at an elaborate April Fool's Day joke. For details see my newest (Aoril 2nd) post.

Bo - I was speaking of a type, not a person in particular. Also, maybe there are men who have these self-promotion/adore-my-good-looks blogs, but I haven't spotted any such (male) blogs so far.

As for Ula I wonder what is so engaging about her apart from the fact that she likes to post photos of her in mini-skirts, talk about sex and make vague, first-impression, oversimplifying comments about her surroundings. And the fact that she needs to be praised, adored by everyone is just a bit too obvious to me. I despise attention-seekers.

The more profound blogs DESERVE to get less attention? Did you really mean that?

And I'm not even going as far as to comment that now, supposedly, how well one's sister looks determines the QUALITY of a blog.

I wonder what is so engaging about her

Maybe the fact that the doesn't lash out at people she disagrees with quite so harshly as you do :)

Nor does she deal out quite so much of that cold stern contempt that makes sensitive people shrivel away and cringe in fear :)

Sorry, wrong expression:

deserve -> get

PS. However, "deserve" can also be understood in the meaning of "gain", but in my context it's somewhat dubious, I agree.

PPS. Ulala is engaging to me, because she seems very positive to me, despite her faults you mentioned.

United Wankers - maybe she didn't lash out at you, because men are very protective and positive towards her (I can't imagine that being anything else but a direct result of watching photos of her underwear...), but she did at me. I only meant to kindly remind her that she was constantly using the plural (men) instead of singular (man) and I thought that she might appreciate the tip-off. However, she didn't and said very bluntly that she doesn't like people who posted suck kinds of comments. Perhaps she meant people who reminded her that she was only human, who made mistakes? Or people, who reminded her that she has (even if very slight) faults? I would have welcomed (and I did) such a comment and corrected my mistakes (you learn all your life), but obivously she's beyond that. (I find that sometimes bad grammar and poor spelling can make reading blogs difficult and improving both of the above would help people understand the writer more. Ula seems to disregard that fact. Maybe that's why she posts so many photos?)

Ah! Cold stern contempt! That's exactly what makes people who know me double over with laughing. In reality I'm a very warm peson, though I have an outspoken grudge against people without self-esteem and a firm backbone. I can't stand whiners and if that's what makes me so little popular comapared to Ula, I'm willing to accept it. :)

(Love your nickname, by the way. :)

Bo - I'd consider myself a very positive person, too. But regarding blogs my view is unchanged - you have to have quality content to offer. Now, if her blog was a photo blog only, then maybe I'd rate her differently.

Nadezhda!

She is still a child, take that into consideration.
Your comment borders on mean.

She is still a child, take that into consideration.

A 26-year-old calling a 24-year-old a child? Somebody wake me up please :)))

She might even turn out to be older than Nadezhda, which makes your observation even more bizarre :)

Your comment borders on mean.

I admit I thought it was a tad ungallant, too.

Bo - judging by your age standards, then I'm a newborn. I still stand behind what I said about Ula's inability to accept criticism and the fact that she in my opinion doesn't have much quality content to offer and that what she has to offer is sometimes difficult to understand because of the typos/grammar mistakes she makes. (I don't mean to suggest I'm perfect, either, just that I'm willing to correct my mistakes - sadly you can't edit comments - and she doesn't seem to be.)

What I said about whiners wasn't meant to imply that I thought Ula was one. (Although looking back the juxtaposition of my words could have led you into believing I meant her. Which again, I didn't.)

What defines the quality of a blog is, I suppose, very subjective. i find her blog to be mediocre and someone might as well claim this for my blog. I never meant to suggest it would be wrong to read her or any similar blog, just that I don't agree with her methods and means.

Now if you stopped acusing me, that would be really great because I've got a workshop to go to...

Ok, ill-advised, it may sound funny to you, but you also took merely an age into consideration, which is wrong to me.

I understand that criticism spurs in big part out of a will to do good, to ultimately try to give somebody some values. But then criticism should be engaged lightly, first taking into account what one does good, only then saying what he does wrong. Like Nadezhda who made some lovely felt comments on my posts.
This is only more so, if a child is in concern.

Yes, but why should the criticism 'be engaged lightly'? If people behaved this way all the time, we would live in a mediocre world where no one would want/dare/think to criticise anyone because they would want to be polite. Oh COME ON.

Criticism is the BEST way of acknowledgement. I personally despise anyone who implies that something that I've been working on is perfect, because:
a) They didn't take a minute of their time to really evaluate what I've been working on (which implies lack of interest or laziness)
b) They didn't really look into what I've been trying to show them (which implies superficiality)
c) They are too 'polite' to point out the mistakes (which is just wrong, because then no progress could be made on my part to improve the thing I'm working on)

Think about it. Rather then being blinded by some good looking chick with a blog.

I, of course, would also be verry happy if you criticised my comment (contents, grammar, anything). If you don't know why, you fall under a) or b).

Mr. anonymous,

A fair comment this is. You are mostly right and wise, but I don't understand why are you then convinced that your a), b) and c) are a complete set?

For the record, I am not completely blinded by Ula's or her sister's good look (I fancy the sister more, that's true), I just feel truly sorry for her misfortune that she shared with us, and I would never want to back her down with some "criticism, which may be very well accustomed in business world." Not everybody can progress equally well, not everybody is equal of course, people live in different "worlds", we know autists and we know merciless capitalists. Hard criticism doesn't help with everybody, hence my saying "engaging lightly".
I will strike down upon thee ... no, really, I will always be on the side of Ula, if somebody is mean to her, for she is essentially a positive spirit who just want to share, which is: rare and also uncomprehensive to many people.

I would also like to remind you of the need to do bad which is intrinsic to any person to some extend. I sense some comments in that respect too.

P.S. Your comment has spelling typos, since you asked for that, but:
- that's no biggy, English is not our mother tongue!
- but we can try, yes, and you can always use a spelling checker of some sort. (I sometimes, now for example, write post or comment as an e-mail draft in GMail, for it has a convenient spelling support.)
