It’s a sad day for me, I didn’t expect this… My Leah and Mogi died unexpectedly late this afternoon… Both of them just suddenly fell silent beside me and Ayu after a loud lightning strike somewhere around the area… err… Leah and Mogi is my other box I used, a dual boot system. Leah being my router and a firewall at the same time and Mogi is my win2k box, yup… They are both computers…^_^; so, anybody wanna lament with me and give me a spare of their old motherboards and maybe some extra processor? as they are kinda old now… I think I’ll be upgrading to a new one instead of returning them from the land of the dead… soon, but not that soon! I’m already missing both of them so very much! *sigh* ^_^;
There’s been a typhoon here in the Philippines since the other day, There is only one lightning strike I heard this afternoon and that one lightning killed them both though it was far from our area but it was really loud… But due to the power surge and spikes that it ‘caused… Man, I should have remember that I was in the province and on higher grounds than in Manila… poor cabling and shitty stuffed around here… and the ground to the electricity was not that good enough… Last year, I told them to let someone check the wiring and the ground around the house…As I’ve noticed that the grounds here are a little bit strong/high, I’ve kinda noticed that it was really a bit much higher than back home in the city as I was usually being grounded most of the time when fixing my computers which never happens to me when I am at the city, there are times that even the casing would ground you whenever you touched them…
So, that’s about it for this one… It’s a little bit quiet and sad around here at the moment but glad that Ayu is still around to keep me company… and a bit cautious now, as there are no Leah to protect us at the moment… ^_^;
Anyway… just a reminder… to me! ^_^;
Might as well turn off and pull the plug off of your computer or television sets when there is a thunder storm in your area… especially that I’m on higher grounds where the lightning could strike really low… yeah! A one in a million chance that the things I just said would happen to you… I’ve kinda said that to myself, now I’m crying over my Leah and Mogi, and now… the rain started to pour hard again, and I’m still online with Ayu, I never learned ^_^; Might as well finished this one fast… Even if you have surge protector there would be times that even it could not protect you… and I’ve read somewhere that even an unplugged laptop which only runs on its battery is not safe, as long as it’s connected to its cable… yup… Cable, Modem attached to a phone line are some that would likely be the ‘cause of your computers death when there is a lightning… uhm… I think my external modem is the ‘cause of my Leah and Mogi’s death, or the cable, I don’t know which one but It must have been the modem as I forgot to turned it off… and all it’s light going crazy when I did… Ayu, my other pc is not affected at all… ‘Cause the modem is not connected to her nor the cable… but the power outlet could also be the cause, mind you… Even humans can store and charge up enough static to ‘cause trouble when you are fixing your boards, that’s why we usually would ground ourselves before touching and fixing anything from our board… Now… I know now why the company I worked with before that creates microchips wouldn’t let us in the company if we don’t take our shoes off and change to our required sandals/flip-flops and wear a plastic to cover our feet ^_^;
Anyway… just be on the safe side… Turned everything off and unplugged everything when there’s a thunderstorm, it won’t last forever… Well, if you are currently at the office, you might just as well ignore this one as the company will probably replace the computer when this happens hehe… ^_^;
You’ll never know what hits you! But, I do know what hits me… My stubbornness to follow a simple rule about pre-cautions when there is a thunderstorm…
Now…
Now… *sigh and hugs the other lifeless monitor of Leah and Mogi*
Waaaahhh!!! ^_^;

Understand this...
So, We waited… me and my so-called sister waited for the bus to arrive at the bus station. And while waiting I notice this two vendor guys, err… The one who always carry what they would sell… like mineral waters and chips and jumping in and out of the bus that would pass by… Whatever… How can I not notice them, they where so noisy while running back and forth between those other passenger waiting there… others are really quite annoyed at what they are doing but couldn’t do anything or say anything… Why should they? Those guys looks like hooligans… and by their dress…. Much worse… Those guys wanted attention… When they see some good looking females, they would go around and play near that person… So, most of the people that are waiting in there kinda moved to the place where we are standing… And with that… the vendor guys… Damn these guys for I think they are enjoying what they are doing… And doesn’t really care if the people are irritated at what they are doing… And they would say things at the person when they noticed she/he is annoyed/irritated by them… And as I say, the others moved to where my sister and I are… And so, are they… Damn it… Now I’m the one they noticed… for my face shows I’m really irritated… How can I not be? I just woke up a couple of hours ago… and had to stand at this crazy bus stop… It’s annoying already with all the noise of the vehicles passing by and there are still no bus coming for half and hour now… and some of these people are gathering around me… I don’t like crowds really… but these guys thought I was irritated because of them… Now… saying things at me… from a couple of feet away… I hear the other says, “I can beat this guy…” Try that… I said to myself… Now… Why would I not hate this fucked up world? So many individuals are really up to no good most of the times… You would know this, if you were foreigners who had visited this country… heh! I don’t know what’s so interesting about that… I’m not a foreigner… but I don’t really care much if I see one walking the streets… to me, everyone is just the same… I don’t care really… mind your own business… but others would really be in your business around here… most would do anything to have your attention and if you ignore them? They would say things or do things and even sometimes would want a fight with you ‘cause you just ignore them… crazy! Well, better be careful when you want to answer them back… most come in group of vendors… and they don’t really care whether they are right or wrong… It’s not in their vocabulary… ^_^;
Anyway… enough about that…
I think some can relate to this next topic I had… I had a few conversations with my father in the van with the driver a couple of days ago while on our way to somewhere… I’m really not in the mood to go out that day really… Why? ‘Cause I haven’t had my sleep yet… as I was awake all night in front of my computers… I told him that next time he should have noticed me a day so I can be aware of the situation… and fixed my schedule… He said that I should have to sleep during the night… well… I think your known world had just passed… It much more different nowadays like in your old days… there are works that are going on during the nights unlike before, well… if you where living in the province you wouldn’t know that change right? ^_^; I really hate the province… It’s a city now, this place where I am right now… but far from the city I really grew up with… both being called a city but still much different from each other… Yes, there are a lot of Internet café around here… from 8am-7pm at most… yeah… Anyway… people around here kinda wonder at what I am doing in my room and not going out… only when I ran out of cigarette would I go out and they would see me… or If I needed some things that I had to go to the grocery store… ah’ I really missed home and my room in the city really! And I’m usually sleeping during the day… And I would wake up uhm… maybe after the sunset ^_^; People around here doesn’t seems to known a person with a body clock like that ^_^ yah! Keep on wondering… Seems strange to them… back home in the city… 8pm Is just the start of the day for me and my friends… but here at the province… It seems like it’s really late to them… boring really… most are really going to bed at this time… and I’m just out of my bed doing some stretching heheh ^_^; 0h’ better run to the store and buy a pack of my cigarette ‘cause it’s about to close at 9pm… even the store closed that early around here…
My aunt kinda annoyed me and the people around here ‘cause they always gets on my nerve always telling about me being in front of the computer… And others think they knows everything about the computers, when they only knows so little about its world… It’s not just a computer for typing and printing something… It’s the future… a vast world… hmm… kinda reminds me of something… at some late night CNN shows… I forgot what the theme is all about but the subject is about this 3D thing with games and the movie…anyway… one of the speaker tells a story about something that he and his son/daughter doesn’t get to have some quality time to have a conversation or something like that and that he/she is always in front of the computers… And a friend of him suggested that maybe he (the father) should create an account at some messenger and just talk to his daughter/son there… ^_^; and it works… My point is… though I doesn’t go out most of my time, that doesn’t mean I’m just staring at my computers and playing games… even if I’m just playing games… It’s not just a game to me… maybe I’m still hanging out with some friends back home and having some fun with them though we are miles apart… I remember this that even one time… back home while I was online at my messenger that I get to talks to one of my friend who’s already in the states and he asked me what I’m doing right now… And I said “drinking some beers” and he said to wait just a minute and he came back with a can of beers ^_^; we’re still doing what we do together when he’s still here in the Philippines even if we’re online… the only thing we couldn’t do was kick each others ass ^_^ but it still is cool…
Now, back to my father telling me that I should sleep at night… I don’t sleep at night… I’m always been like this since I was in young… I’m beginning to think that I was born at a wrong country with a wrong time zone as my body clock differs from where I am ^_^; I’m usually much more active during the nights… when I’m at the office working from 8am-6pm, I’m much more productive during the later hours… mostly when the sun’s about to set…
There are times when some friends wanted to hang out at some bars near our place… We would usually be home before the sunrise… Uhm… other times the sun would caught us, yup… especially if we are hanging at some female friends house for a sleep over… err… usually we don’t sleep really… we still continue our drinking when we get to the house ^_^; Man, we feels like vampires when going home during the day, as the light of the sun really hurts our eyes… We would run to the door of the car covering our face as if we are like being burned by the heat… and it’s only 7am ^_^;
There are times when I wake up late at night that I’m like a possessed person that I would automatically get out of my bed in be in front of my computers and do this and that… ^_^; back home in the city, I don’t stand up but just reach the keyboard as I just dragged my pc next to my bed most of the time… ^_^ I’m lazy really…. I even had a friend who would forget to change his office clothes first before going in front of his pc, yup… I went to his house one Saturday morning and found him dressed in his office clothes and I asked him if he had his work today… and he looked and laugh at me and said “Nope, I’m still wearing this clothes since yesterday! I still haven’t sleep yet :D”
So, even with all these stories they still wouldn’t understand me really and nobody really knows me … nobody really is, even my so-called relatives and family… maybe a handful of friends, my mom and her daughter… but the rest… Why waste my time on people who had no time and are totally selfish… Who hears things when they are deaf? Who sees things clearly but are blinds? Who like to looks at the mirror always but couldn’t see their own face…
I want the world to change to my own liking but the world is too stubborn to listen to my own little voice… but that doesn’t mean I have to follow the world… I’ll have to be interested first, you know… I’m also stubborn most of the time ^_^;
