It took me a long time to reinstall the modem to our computer. It took a lot longer just figuring out why the computer doesn’t connect to the internet. Doesn’t matter now. I’m here, after a very long time. Oh, no.

Why did I have to reinstall that, anyway? We were having lots of problems with spyware, viruses and freezing, so we had everything reformatted. All the files in the computer before were erased. I’m relieved that it was cleared, except there were photos, school notes, artwork and lots of important stuff I wanted to save copies of first. Oh, well. I’ve got a fresh start on customizing it, though. And relearning how to. Then start organizing all my files this time.

So what happened between the last time I posted and now, which is almost a week from last time? A lot. I sleep off almost the whole morning, read or use the computer in the afternoon, then draw or watch TV at the nighttime. How fun. No, seriously. I’m not bored this summer.

My room got messy again. Intruders Slobs My sisters did it. The idiot box is on all day, the semi-organized stack of boxes and books under my desk toppled. I can’t find lots of my drawings anymore. All my pencils and pens disappeared. Horrible events, indeed.

Started going to math summer classes last Tuesday. Even though it’s a review of what we learned last year, it’s still tough. There were lots of topics we didn’t study in-depth in school and had to learn. That’s four hours of brain torture every T-Th, but it might save my grades from sliding below 2.5 (it almost did last quarter).

And it rained yesterday. It’s amazing. The rainy season will come in about a month. But it’s still hot.

The new layout: Darn it. This is too hard to figure out. It’ll probably take me hours to figure out how to fit a header image properly. Make that days, because I’m a big procrastinating slob. Or I might switch back to from XML to the original coding style. Or start a new layout from scratch. When I started editing the code, it looked terrible.

And that would be all for now.

It's been a long time since I posted. Or has it? It's been the first summer for a while I had lots to do, lots of places to go to, things to see... What? I probably should get on with the post.

Oh, yeah. Happy Earth Day!

Global warming should be put to a stop. While other countries still don't feel effects, we here in the tropics suffer from 36 degrees Celsius temperatures at daytime. Have mercy on the atmosphere, please.

We went out to Starbucks last Friday. It was crowded inside, as usual, and lots of our cousins came so we stayed outside. I don't really like sitting under those umbrellas because of cigarette smoke, the cars outside, the smoke from the cars outside and being bothered by people selling stuff outside. There was a kid who approached us and asked to buy rugs. I was tempted to tell him, "Why don't you ask your favorite politician for help?". The only thing I'm more bothered by than them was the campaign period. I thought again, though. It's also the some of the politicians' faults that they're outside like this at night instead of under a roof studying for school tomorrow (school is a pain sometimes, but it's still a necessity ^^;). We ended up buying the the rugs and giving him our takeout.

For the first time, I've gone shopping for clothes. Oh, great. Why is this such a big deal? I've always been bought clothes by either my mom or relatives from the States. Most of them don't fit well and don't fit my taste. Souveneir shirts, mailman shirts, stuff with medicine names on them... uh, those things. Now, after fourteen years, I've got some control on the way I dress. That's why it's such a big deal.

My brother is a control freak right now, making me download Thomas and Friends videos from YouTube. I can't really finish posting right now. I'll come back soon. Very soon, I wish.

Tricycle. Jeepney. Walk. Jeepney. Jeepney. Walk. Taxi. Walk. Taxi. Walk. Jeepney. Tricycle.

What a long day. We went out for my sister's enrollment for her first year, then paid for my math classes next week, go to the city hall, then back to my sister's school, then to the market, then to the lousy Chowking branch in town for some lousy halo-halo.

I feel too tired to post something today and was planning to blog tomorrow. Must start working on stuff to post besides what I've been doing offline.

This blog shouldn't even be neglected while I'm on vacation, but it looks like I don't post as often as expected. For the first time in a while, I'm occupied with things not related to computers.

Oh, wow. I just realized that I actually have a life D:


It says that my internet connection right now is 53.2 kbps. I get the feeling that the decimal point was supposed to be moved at least 2 places to the left.

What?

It's almost automatic. Once you log into the internet, you open your favorite browser and enter your blogging site. You enter your senseless username, your more senseless password. Then press the odd L-shaped Enter key. Then a series of colorful and dizzying menus, which make your supposedly "user-friendly" blogging site more of a burden in life, appear in your screen. Like a reflex, you click on "Post" or something like that. Now you are faced with textboxes, with fields like title, tag; lots of buttons on your wysiwyg editor. And you finally look into that big empty textbox.

Quick! What do you do?

What are you supposed to do now?



You still stare at the monitor a little longer, with your hands on the keyboard, as if waiting for words to appear.






Agggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!



Blogger's block. Oh, no.

Back. And not ready to post. I don't have any idea on how I'll organize this. Well, I almost always don't whenever I post.

First, about what I've been doing at home. Nothing.

Then, about what people at school talk most often about after Clearance Week: report cards. I won't be posting all of my grades here, so I'll just talk about the best and the worst things that happened to them. The good thing is that my GWA went higher and I was able to prove to myself that I could get a 1.3 something average. Bad thing is that a subject went down by 3 steps. And that's all I'll say.

Yesterday, we all went to Nasugbu, Batangas to visit relatives. It was a chance to see a new background, take pictures, eat empanada, eat some more at Kainan sa Dalampasigan, have abraisions on you knees, go to the recently built church-there, see the beach, not get to ride a boat, get out of the house, escape the heat in the house, get away from all the boredom of staying in the house the whole day and avoid being a couch potato. Whew.

And then I run out of things to blog about.

The new layout is coming soon. Very soon...
