When the blog gets audience, the blogger gets famous!

Your blogger has just came back from strings of overseas trips for he has to lecture at the executive programs of 2 universities: one in Pacific and another in Atlantic coastlines. In addition, he also consults some private and public organizations. In other words, he is trying to inform on-line friends and foes that he does not have to suck the balls to get a job. He does not fly First Class, still flies in the cattle class (economy class) but he still does not need to go to budget airlines. That means to travel, to stay in hotel, to get serve a meal at hotel, he does not have to swallow after tiresome 24x7 sucking, writing crappy pieces in some blogs. And he gets invitations from leading professors of conferences, seminars, and symposiums, he prepares and presents keynotes in addition to preparing manuscripts for leading peer-reviewed journals. He is not that successful yet but he does not need sucking nor swallowing to make a living. Now this blog is giving him more invitations from overseas conferences as this blog gets famous. The below is the breakdown visitors last week:

United States            71
Myanmar [Burma]    59
Malaysia                   56
Russia                       52
Australia                   37
Spain                         33
United Kingdom       28
Brunei                       27
Sri Lanka                  19
Thailand                   16

To be brutally honest with readers, he was surprised to see traffic from Spain, Brunei, and Sri Lanka. What is going on? Why people in Saudi Arabia (it was in top 10), Spain, Sri Lanka interested in this blog? Why is Brunei always showing up in top 10?

And he also got an invitation from International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies which is in the Kuala Lumpur, that capital of Malaysia. They must be among the visitors from Malaysia; counted 56 hits in last week. Your humble blogger has no choice but to decline the email invitation from (Mister or Doctor?) Mohd Nuruddin<mohdnuruddin@iais.org.my>. This blog is set up and maintained for academic integrity and higher education of Burma. But the blogger is proud to show the invitation as follows:

Sexually abused boys will turn out to be PhD fakers!!!

Warning! Fakers and forgers will get arrested while those plagiarized will lose PhDs if they were exposed! But it is a pity as those sexually abused children today may turn out to be fake PhDs! See the article below:

Yes, I got a fake PhD certificate made: Meekin
February 3, 2012,  DC, Bengaluru

'Paul Meekin, the former headmaster of Trio World School, who was arrested on Wednesday night on charges of submitting fake doctorate documents to the management, told the police: I have been a victim of sexual abuse (sodomized or taken from behind by another male, penetrated between the bottom cheeks by the abuser) in my childhood. My parents abandoned me at a very young age and I was in the custody of an orphanage in England. I was sexually abused during my stay at the orphanage. And, this is where I started consuming alcohol at the age of 12. I have been addicted to it ever since.'

Sometimes smart young people make mistakes too!

An on-line friend of mine, an Arakanese who descended from the long line of Rakhines who have fought and paid their dues for Burma asked me why Dr. Nyein Chan, who earned PhD from UCL
at a young age of 26 made the YouTube video aimed Daw Aung San Su Kyi, our leader!

He lamented why Dr. Nyein Chan, has done that, made the Myanmar Express guy (from Canada)
happy and made us confused. So even your humble blogger is busy, he has asked Dr. Nyein Chan
why has he made Zar Ni's patron (sponsor) or client (sucker)  MBBS physcian Doctor - he is a physician so he is addressed as a dr. for courtesy - Ko Ko Gyi (who graduated from the University
of Medicine 2, Myanmar yet he is trying to bite our hands those educated him) delighted!

But Dr. Nyein Chan is a nice guy, he may be young but mature enough to confess when he did something wrong. His reply as follows in his own words:

"Thanks for forwarding this information and your advice. This time I made an error in my judgement. After all, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is a fellow citizen and I agree that she has done so much to restore democracy in our country. I was very upset with her attitude towards current Rakhine issue. In any case, I agree that I should not direct my attacks to her. I feel and believe that we, Myanmars, should be united especially at this time when we are facing foreign invasion and international pressure. I will behave next time. Meanwhile, apologies to you if you were offended by my video."

I think it is part of maturing process, young and smart people take from intelligent and educated to become wise. I hope this blog post will make both my friend and Dr. Nyein Chan happy. We all make mistakes! Don't we?
