Sam, my laptop, died due to complications to her eyes (video card). I tried every possible way of reviving her, but it was too late. She wasn't even a year old :( I'm still looking for her insurance documents (warranty), hopefully HP can do a miracle and bring her back to life.

Please pray for her speedy revival.

I just bought an iPod! (for people who can read this, don't tell anyone!) Harhar. Classic, 120GB. I know it's old school, but that's why it's called classic 

And we watched Confessions of a Shopaholic! Really funny hehehe.

Just removing the cobwebs from this site.

DSL's back!!! Damn I missed blogging. I missed the Internet for crying out loud. Course we had Internet at work, but it's just different, what, with 90% of the sites blocked, and the remaining 10% is Wikipedia. Totally not fun.

I've been busying myself with Sex and the City episodes. I'm at season 3 I think. It did it's job pretty well on making me forget that there is such a thing as Internet.

So what was the problem with our DSL? I don't freakin know. I did every troubleshooting I know and still it didn't work, and lo here comes a technician from PLDT and it's all fixed now. Am I really getting stupid because all I know now is XSLTs and XMLs and all those acronyms we learn at that friggin company? I don't even think I can code a complex Java program now. Okay, enough geek talk.

Watched Bride Wars twice. It's a good movie, but I didn't really like Emma's ending. I'd give it a two and a half stars out of 4.

Catching up on my downloads, specifically Gossip Girl and Brothers & Sisters episodes. They'll probably finish tomorrow, I'll just leave them running.

Nothin' much, just trying to brush up on my writing/blogging skills. LOL.

Anyone know a good dentist for braces?

God, my Multiply is rotting. I don't even have a Merry Christmas or a Goodbye-2008-Welcome-2009 post. What is wrong with me?

Just wanted to say that. I have a lots of pictures in queue to upload though. I'll probably do that tomorrow. Gotta sleep, we have this relatives lunch thing tomorrow. Godspeed 2009!

I actually didn't want to blog about this, I'm not really a fan of being on the spotlight. But I needed some type of release.

My brother woke me up yesterday at around 530AM and told me the bad news. Our grandmother has passed away. I surprised myself by not crying on the spot, maybe because I mentally prepared myself for this, or maybe I'm just still groggy. My grandma has been in the hospital for weeks, almost a month. It was only recently that she was allowed to go home, though she was still in a coma. When we visited a few weeks back, I overheard my aunts talking. They asked the doctor what were her chances of waking up/surviving. The doctor said, if my lola were in the 60s, they could tell, but seeing that my lola is already 84, they didn't have a definite answer. Or rather, they didn't have a positive answer for us. I had to walk out of the room right then and there. I walked to the end of the hall and cried. I know that everyone will die sooner or later, it's just that all my life, my lola has been there, it seemed forever that she will be there, always. Of course it's stupid to think that, childish, you might say.

If this is hard for me, it's probably harder of her children, my mother included. My aunt, grandma's eldest child, who came home from the US three weeks ago, was supposed to go back yesterday. It's probably better that grandma left us before she had to leave for the airport so she doesn't have to come back.

It's sad, because most of our relatives are out of the country. This is probably the most incomplete we've been.

Thursday's the burial. I'll be taking a leave from work. It'll be time to part ways, physically. I know she's with us everywhere we go, together with our grandfather. We now have two guardian angels.

Bye Lola. We love you.
