A lot of things has happened. Just a lot.
My bf and I already started to do video calls. Like the real thing, itself. Webcam and microphone, those sort of things. No one and I really mean no one can ever make us leave our laptops. For hours and hours, we're in front of it, talking to each other just about anything under the sun. In the process, I've learned so many things about him that I never really knew before. He felt the same too. Then there would be times, that we'll just stare at each other like hopeless romantics. It was such a fun activity and bonding moment between the 2 of us.
Saturday, I got this headset with a microphone on. We did video calls all day. Came early Monday morning when this laptop of mine suddenly crashed and I almost lost everything. Of course the OS is still there, but with the hard drives unreadable, the thing's completely useless. I appeared calm but inside, I was scared as shit. Both my bf and I tried numerous things to get it back to normal. After several failed attempts, we decided to switch it back to a certain restore point. So I switched to safe mode, ran the chkdsk, did the system restore and restarted it on normal mode. Then voala! Everything's back.
Or I guess I thought so.
Some things are apparently missing, Skype won't work, the default display settings not working properly, device running noticeably slow, threats detected almost every other day, from the same file. I don't know what's going on with this thing. I would've restore it already to it's original factory state, but the system is asking for an OS disc, something which I don't really have. So I'm actually stuck with a device not functioning properly. I wish I can do something about it.
Monday morning, at approximately 11am, Bacolod City was rocked with a 6.9 magnitude earthquake. The epicenter was felt in Dumaguete and Guihulngan, Negros Occidental. Roads were cracked open, buildings damaged, people missing, lives gone. It was a sad day for all of us. We thank God that there was no tsunami scare but after the first earthquake, we felt more aftershocks. To this date, more than a thousand aftershocks were felt. It was really scary, I, for one, have never felt an earthquake that strong in my entire life. Not to mention that the aftershocks were as strong as the main one, we feared for our lives. All of us were praying at that time. We prayed to God to keep us safe. Everyone was calling relatives and friends, asking if everything is alright. My bf was totally worried. Not just for me but for my entire family. Thank God Bacolod wasn't damaged nor any life was taken.
Well, things aren't really all that bad. My best friend and I went out earlier and we went to this mall. We were strolling along a certain alley when instinctively I looked at one of the stores. First thing I noticed was Manchester United's logo on a certain soccer ball. Then I saw the rest of the items - Liverpool, Real Madrid and Inter Milan jerseys. It was then I realized that the store was a football merchandise store. I immediately rummaged for some Manchester United jerseys. I found one and I immediately exclaimed. It was then I realized too, that I didn't bring any cash with me. But then, my best friend was my savior. She bought the jersey for me, provided that I pay her whenever I can. Then she purchased the soccer ball, too - the one with the United crest on it. I was so happy because now, I have both the home and away jerseys, even if they were last season's. And now I didn't have to order those expensive items from a certain group in Facebook. We even planned to go to our university to play a little football there, but the weather didn't agree to it.
Well, half good and half bad. Celebrate the good side and do something about the bad side.
God help us.
