Yay, I Won!
Woop Woop! Here’s a quick video to thank those that allowed my entry to win Nick’s Xanga commercial contest:
(I included people that voted for me along with someone else and people that voted for me after the deadline, even though they technically weren’t counted towards the tally =P)
Thanks again everyone! In return, I’m planning on stopping by the pages of everyone I listed above so I can drop a comment and a mini (it’s the least I can do). Expect a visit from me sometime soon (such a great way to procrastinate from finals, no?). Hope everyone else is doing alright as we wind down to a much needed winter break!
P.S. I’m trying to think up a good video idea to do when I meet up with people at the Bay Area Xanga meet later this month. Last time at the San Diego meet, I did a silly relationship skit which worked out pretty well. Any suggestions?
P.P.S. While I’m on the topic and asking for suggestions, I’m currently collaborating with TheCheshireGrins to figure out where to meet and what to do for the third DC Xanga meet happening on January 10th. If you’re going or are familiar with the DC area, is there anything you would recommend? Since a good amount of people that are planning on going are from Maryland, should we make the meet up in Maryland instead?

Congrats! It was a very good commercial
.
although i didn’t vote, i also thought yours was good. there were just plenty of good ones that were hard to pick. haha.
wooop woooooop! congrats alex
congrats!
i think my vote is not counted lol heh:P
congrats! so what’s the price? of course bragging rights is a price in itself already…
CONGRATS! I wasn’t keeping myself updated with the contest, but I would’ve voted for you too. Haha
Congrats!! You deserved it!!
there’s a dc meet?! i might be able to go! go study and do well
You should do one on dreams! I could make a lesson out of it! I’m uploading that video when I return to the States and am not blocked by the Korean gov. Too bad the meeting isn’t in the last weekend of January (because then I would be able to come!).
Congraaats =)
yay! I feel special lol. I forgot what I was going to type but…oh! I have finals this week too!…I hate them with a great passion. I would love to do the whole DC Xanga Meet or Maryland. I’m going to be in Maryland on January 10 for a scholarship ball that night anyway.
Your vote count was insanely high. haha Total win! Now go for the White House! LOL
of course you’d win, did you expect anything else?
GJ! I haven’t been so active on Xanga so i actually have no idea what commercial contest you’re talking about ahah xD
Woot!
cool
haha i can tell you are reading off of something
Jeez you’re traveling all over the Xangan United States! What’s next? International meets?
@TheTheologiansCafe - Cool, hope you like it
@JessxMaxine - Yeah, kinda crazy!
@CareyGLY - haha, congratulations to you then!
@elelkewljay - When are you done? I’ll be done for sure by tomorrow! I just need to focus on finishing this exam.
@repressedwriter - Hmm…how about somewhere in Columbia? I know there’s an ice skating rink we could possible go there.
@YouTOme - Hey, it’s the least I can do. Once I’m finish my exam I’ll go around to everyone’s site personally to thank.
@jeannie_dot_com - Me too. So effective!
@falconfraudless - Understandable. There really was too many good ones.
@s_h_a_sha - It didn’t, but that’s okay. It’s the thought that counts!
@on_call247 - I think it’s just the bragging rights haha. It’s all good, I had a lot of fun with this.
@mncjl - Ah thanks. I gotta admit though, Cakalusa’s commercial was wonderful. I’m surprise he didn’t get more.
@npr32486 - Oh yeah? You’re in town around January 10th? Stay tuned then for more info!
@mycontinuity - Oooh, I’m intrigue! Message me later to elaborate and I’ll see what I can do. Are you coming back to the states at the end of next month?
@suuperstar - @phosphor_stars - @Joanna_said_SO - @agmhkg - @crazy2love - @d_ciao - @inaean - @TheRiverIsEverywhere - @xkthily -
@GodaiTheRonin - @MomoLikesChoco - @CatherineMarshmallow -
Much appreciated
Congratulations, Alex. And you are such the gentleman to thank everyone personally.
@nepenthium - Honestly, yes. There were some really good submissions, so I was expecting it to be close.
@Agent_Spanky - Whoa, I just noticed my vote count was more than everyone else’s combined 0_0. Geez. Not complaining of course =P
@RaquelHiggins005 - Oh really? That would be amazing if you can come! We will probably meet up around noon time. Does that work for you?
@jhesyka - Haha I see. Click on some of the first few links in this entry to see what I’m talking about.
@sonychak - Yeah, I tried doing that video off the cuff at first, but failed horribly. I decided to jot down generally what I wanted to say and go from there.
@Meowmeowkimmaee - Ooo I would love that! I’m thinking about going up to Canada.
@christao408 - It’s only fair right? If they took the time out to vote for me I should take the time to check them out as well
. However, that will have to wait until after I’m done with this annoying take home exam.
@TheCheshireGrins - Let’s keep on brainstorming ideas for our meet!
@Jillycarmel - yes yes
@Manstration - thanks!
Hahaa. There I am.
Congratulations.
Congrats Alex – well done. *pat on the back*
@Roadlesstaken - Well, I won’t skate, but Columbia is fairly central and has lots of choices. Even if I don’t skate, I’d be willing to meet up there.
We needed to vote?
Wow…I didn’t know! I would have voted for you.
@Roadlesstaken - i didnt even see his!
@Roadlesstaken - Yeah, I’m trying to get a ticket for the last week of January and I’ll go back the first week of February.
@CutePaperHearts - Yup yup, you squeezed right in there =)
@ElusiveWords - Thank you sir!
@repressedwriter - Yeah, that’s just one idea. If people are fine with meeting in Columbia I can go do some research for things to do.
@Wangium - It’s all good, it worked out in the end
@mncjl - Yeah, his was on a Xanga video, which meant it couldn’t be embedded on the post. That’s probably why a lot of people didn’t see it.
@mycontinuity - That’s cool. Are you staying in the states, or will you be returning back to Korea?
@Roadlesstaken - tuesday!
@Roadlesstaken - Korea…after February, it’s only four months and I’ll get them to pay for the ticket back home and the security deposit.
@Roadlesstaken - a fair # of xangans in canada, yeah.
Congrats!
Hey that was a wicked commercial!!!
Congrats!!!!
Hooray, procrastination! Also, winning! But mostly procrastinating. It’s a life skill, ya know.
congrats!
sweet man! lol that’s great! ^_^
Congrats on winning! You deserved it!
@Shades_of_Athena - @BabyGurlDragon88 - @BigSarah - @icapillas - @haloed - @lonelywanderer2 - Thanks everyone!
@snapeful - Hey, I noticed you didn’t vote at all in the contest! Por que?
@randaness - It’s a skill I’m perfecting as I type this.
@Roadlesstaken - Psh, worry about perfection tomorrow ^_~
Congrats on winning
You totally deserved it.
Cheers,
Taylor

@skylar_rose - @lCrAzYAzNl - @amor_e_alegria - @PeaceSearcher - @karen0z - @leadheavy - @Kontzicles - @nimbusthedragon - @JL789 - @Got_Takoyaki -
@silverlocket_88 - @wyrdkismet - Thanks for congrats! That announcement was a nice distraction from my studies.
@indiechaos - Haha, that would be interesting. There’s already so many good one out there though!
@B1ANCACACA - I sure will. If we happen to make it in MD, would that be okay for you?
CONGRATS!!!
lol cute. did you actually win anything? or was it completely just for shits and giggles?
@wonderland7386 - I won a PS3.
Nah, I think it was just for bragging rights =P
@RestlessButterfly - thanks!
@Roadlesstaken - good luck on finals! look ahead toward the good stuff. Interesting you are going to SF.
Congratulations! I read the results myself and saw how overwhelming the victory was. Has there been an increase in subscriptions/hits?
@Roadlesstaken - If I’m able to go, the location probably won’t matter. The only thing holding me back is getting together money for a new radiator for my car -__-
@Roadlesstaken - Of course it works. That thing doesn’t start until after 6 anyway. ^_^
@LADYLILYTHAO - A little bit, I think at least 20 more subs due to the commercial?
@B1ANCACACA - Ah I see. Yeah, if we pick a location in MD it won’t be that much further than DC.
@RaquelHiggins005 - Cool. See my latest rec! It concerns the meet.
Okay cool
lookie here mr. popular! LOL congrats alex. sorry that u had to remind me but i haven’t been going on xanga, i’m just relying on the subscription email on my berry! nwaaay, why JAN 10?? lol thats a sunday! if it was a saturday, there’s bigger chance of me coming down there? or up there? LMAO up there right? haha sorry i’m tired and i dont know where the hell is MD from NY. i think its up there! lol kei, shutting up now
@pasaway4eva - Haha you serious?! MD is about two states under you! You can hop on a bus down here; take you less than 4 hours. If you do come, you could always come that Saturday and leave Sunday.
omg. im about to delete my comment above. haha my parents wont let me leave saturday night and get there sunday morning. you crazy?? lol i gotta go there and get home on the same day! [i'm a great nurse but my geography, not so well] haha
@pasaway4eva - Hey, you’re an adult now! You can make your decision!
aaah i wish it was that simple. please. lol
Good for you.
Love It!
@TurnAroundTime - @ForgoThePretense - I appreciate it
(: awesome, grats man! Damn, I am so tempted to fly down to that meet, but noooo school is starting for me then. ):
congrats, of course you would have won even without my vote
But man, you are quite devoted to your fans I see…
Have fun at your meet… as I suffer here in the freezing cold
wishing I was at a place with plentiful amounts of sun and I dont have to plug in my car so it will start the next morning ; ___ ; !!
congrats! (i seriously still don’t get updates on your blog in my subbies page! D:)
@jeannie_dot_com - creeper vid?
@jesuismir - Hmm, maybe you should just flat out bookmark me =P
@AzureRecollections - Kinda short notice, but you could fly down to the CA meet….got a couple of weeks!
@ordinary_gir1 - It’s actually not that much better, temperature wise, down here. The whole country got hit by a cold front brrrr!
@jesuismir - check out nicks entry. theres a creeper video jacquie made.
Congrats on the win!! And now go study!!:)
Awesome!!! Congratulations!!! I keep trying to watch the video, but my computer either doesn’t have sound, or the video doesn’t work. I’ll try on a third computer tomorrow night. If you go to DC you’ll have to take a picture of the Capitol building if you’re in that area.
@SamyuktaR - I don’t have to anymore, I’m done!
@ImperialDoctrinesOfTheNewWorld - Any particular reason why that building?
@Roadlesstaken - It looks like the Texas Capitol building, which is a favorite building of mine. I won’t be at the DC meet though…
Purely awesome,
definitely something you should mention to your proverbial children!
@Roadlesstaken - Oh, I would love to do that. But tickets to CA are not cheap, especially when flying out of one of the world’s most STUPIDLY annoying airport (Toronto). My cousin who works for airlines is practically useless.
What good are relatives when they can’t get you discounts???? >=(
@theRyeCatcher - they probably wouldn’t care haha
@AzureRecollections - well, if you do make that decision I can at least save you on room cost for sure.
Why am I not in the credits for this. I don’t know what it is about, but hell I should be in the credits. A. I thought we had something when we hugged that night. /sadface
i know i’m late on this and all but, congrats! and thanks for the shout out.
that was A LOT of people that voted for you. wow. you’re rather popular!
@The__Aesthete - Well if you had voted for me you woulda!
@PiscesPhishie - I was quite surprised by how much I won by 0_0
nice video haha!
@wolfgirlowooh - thanks
Yay! Some of those videos didn’t really make sense though. But most of them were good. Glad you won! I wish I could make it to these meets. Oh for a license. And money. Lol
I’m sooo close and I can’t go to the DC meet up ’cause I have to be back to school. Boo!
Congrats on your win!
@ccarothers - aww really? That sucks! Perhaps next time?
@Like_A_Tigah - I highly recommend attending at least one. I’ve been to a few already and loved each experience =)
Dear Alex,
I know you have a more current entry, and it looks like you’re one heckuva popular Xangan by the looks of your comment streams, so I sincerely hope you see this comment. I’m returning comments from my Dec. 14th entry, where you visited to say “thanks” for voting for you in the contest. (My “commercial” didn’t get one vote. And I voted for yours, cause I thought it was a better commercial. Boo Hoo.)
Seriously, I love this ‘response video’ and how you included special “notes” to certain Xangans in the “list”. I love to find grateful Xangans who are popular. Most of the “top bloggers” seem to berate their audience, which never stops them from getting even more hits and comments.
I only visit blogs from comments I receive, but I will make an attempt to come back here when I can make some time to check you out more. I believe I said in my comment when I voted (and I really can’t remember cause I write so much) that your video made me want to visit your blog, which was the purpose of the contest. (I think my video gave viewers epileptic fits.) I’ve been making videos under my “MikeVideo” banner for over 20 years now, and I always love to meet videographers who are more talented than the average “turn the ballcamera on and talk” videobloggers.
Please return to my blog someday, and perhaps check out my video section, or better yet, click on my site link above, with links to all my “internet movies”.
I’ve read about the DC meet on Meg’s site, so I know you’re busy with that now. But nice to “meet” you and hope we’ll reconnnect real soon. Thanks again for this.
Michael F. Nyiri, poet, philosopher, fool
@baldmike2004 - Of course I see your comment! I try to make sure I respond to every meaningful comment I get since it’s the least I can do.
I know what you mean about certain bloggers out there. For me, I just don’t respond to any of those antics so it doesn’t bother me.
Yep, I’m very excited for the DC meet. Still trying to plan out where to host it, but wherever it is I’m sure it’ll be a great time.
I’m sure I’ll stop by your blog again in the near future
congrats! such a graceful winner =]
@MariaBoscardin - Hey, if it weren’t for the people that voted I wouldn’t have won right? Gotta appreciate!
