I’ve been anticipating September for the past couple of months. Only because it’s the start of the season for my favorite TV shows. Hello Gossip Girl, Grey’s Anatomy, Heroes, Prison Break and Ugly Betty! I missed my torrents. =P I wish Lost started this month too, but sadly I’ll have to wait until next year for that. Bummer!
My downloads are already complete for this week, but because we’ve been busy, I have yet to watch them. I went out to look for DVI cables the other day, so I can hook my MacBook to a bigger screen, but all I could find were HDMI cables. I guess I just have to be a little more patient and wait until we fly back to Singapore, so I can watch them on JR’s big monitor.

Things are finally back to normal. My MacBook’s alive again; I picked it up from the Service Center last Thursday. My grandmother also checked out of the hospital and has been back home since Saturday. Things are good. :)
Anyway, I was reading through my archives and saw what I wrote 4 years ago. I liked it, so I’ll share it now.
I’ve always believed that everyone we meet in life, we meet for a reason. I believe that there’s a purpose behind why certain individuals were made present in our lives. Some are there to make living a pain, and torture us emotionally. Some to keep us sane and happy. Some are there to show us what life is about and let us feel their unconditional love. Some are simply there to help and teach us life’s lessons. Some enter our lives only for a few minutes, while some enter and stay for quite a while. Either way, each and every person we encounter will leave an effect on us in one way or another.
So, if someone comes into your life and after a while leaves you with a feeling that you’ve been stabbed in the chest, don’t be disheartened; that person came into your life for a reason. If you have someone that keeps you sane, that never fails to make you happy, be glad; that person is in your life for a reason. If you have someone who loves you unconditionally even if your flaws are more than the good things about you, rejoice; that person is in your life for a reason. If you have someone that helps you understand the ways and realities of life, who shows you that there’s always something to look forward to, take great pleasure; that person is in your life for a reason. And, if you meet people who stay only for a minute and meet others who remain a while, be delighted; all of them came for a reason.
The reasons may be vague as of the moment. Some reasons may even take a while to understand. But, in life, nothing was put by chance or by mistake. They all come to transform and mold us into the person we were created to be. =)

Excuse my absence, things haven’t been too colorful in my part of the world.
First of all, my MacBook’s hard drive died on me two Sundays ago. I lost ALL my files and have been computer-deprived ever since. I had to say goodbye to the thousands of irreplaceable photos and files, and have had to resort to local and cable television to satisfy my TV Show fixes. That means no Grey’s Anatomy, Prison Break, Lost, nor Ugly Betty downloads in almost 2 weeks! It’s still in the Service Center, so I will have to bear with the loss for another week or two.
Then two days after my MacBook collapsed, we had to rush my grandmother to Medical City, Ortigas. She had been feeling and looking weak since she arrived from Canada last month, but looked too pale for her own good that Tuesday morning.The doctors sent her to the I.C.U and started her dialysis (she had actually been diagnosed with renal failure ages ago and was already supposed to undergo dialysis back in Canada) right away that evening. I’ve been sleeping at the hospital to watch over her ever since.
The first few nights were quite hard, because she looked really weak, but the whole family was relieved when she was moved out of the I.C.U to her own room last Saturday. She’s doing well now, and has been eating regularly. She was supposed to fly back to Canada this Friday, but now she’ll have to stay for another month or two until she is well enough to travel.
Anyway, I’ll go back to regular blogging as soon as things start going back to normal… and when I finally get my MacBook back.

After several gruelling hours of my eyes and fingers being glued to my MacBook, I’m so happy to say that this layout’s finally done. I’m all drained and poofed out!
The production stage took a little longer than I had planned. My vectoring and photoshop skills are a little rusty from months of not practicing. On top of that, I seemed to have lost the ability to write (and even remember!) codes as fast as I used to. I had to resort to numerous trial-and-errors in order to get everything fixed. Everything seems to be looking fine now, but I shall double check again tomorrow if there are anymore bugs.
Anyway, I obviously went crazy over the colors. I don’t even remember having any of my past layouts being this colorful before. Frankly speaking, it’s quite a bold change from my usual “safe” colors. But change is good. I like this change. I’m also hoping that the bright colors will motivate me to blog more frequently now. Hahaha!
It’s already 3am, so I’ll just end this post with the quote that inspired this layout:
Dance like no one’s watching.
Sing like no one’s listening.
Love like you’ve never been hurt,
and live like it’s heaven on earth.

The wonderful thing about not working is being able to loaf around and do anything as I please.
Since we got back from Singapore, I’ve been doing a lot of lazing. Sleeping in has no longer been a luxury. I love not having to drag myself early out of bed for a busy day at the office.
Most of my days have been spent sleeping in and going online as soon as I wake up.
But being on the computer almost the entire day doesn’t really mean that I’ve just been aimlessly surfing around. Well yes, I have been spending a considerable amount of time downloading stuff, watching funny videos on youtube, and bouncing from one site to another. But really, most of the time I look around for jobs, or fiddle around with AutoCAD. I do get bored (like mad!) and I am hoping to find the right job for me SOON.
Warning: Quite a lot of photos under the cut.

Oh yes! Today my mom finally got me a MacBook! :) It’s sort of a late birthday slash early graduation (I graduate this Saturday!) gift from everyone. No more fighting with my sister for the family pc. No more pleading with my brother to get my hands on his Ibook. No more invading my mother’s laptop late at night. :) Haha! I’m in love! <3
Thank you BPI madness for your wonderful promo! Thank you Rockwell’s Apple Center for calling as soon as your stocks arrived. Wheee! XD
I shall now go back to enjoying my new toy. ^_^
Anna. 25.
