Murphy's Law.....

if something can go wrong, it will go wrong...


For the past days, ang dami kong bad trip experiences,  ito ay isa lang dun, masyado nang personal yung iba..


Nasira ang keyboard ng eeePc ko.  Bago ko pinagawa binackup ko muna files sa Xpc ko.
Nagawa ang keyboard pero bago ko pa man nalipat uli sa laptop ang files, navirus naman ang xpc at nacorrupt ang windows.

Triny kong irepair ang Windows through xp installer cd kaso nag-error yung installer, merong file not found.  Nagsearch ako about the file, normal daw yun sa non-original copies of XP.  Since wala naman akong orig XP installer, nagsearch na lang ako how to make bootdisk (USB) para ilipat ko na lang files through DOs.

Nakagawa ako bootable disk, nagboot pero hanggang DOS prompt lang, walang maaccess na ibang drive.
Giving up and as advised by friends, binaklas ko na lang xpc at sa clumsiness ko, nabali ang kuko ko! as in nagbleed ha!
Anyway, kinuha ko ang harddisk at bumili ng enclosure.  Buti na lang 180 lang ang enclosure for 2.5" SATA HDD sa Cdr-King. At least, hindi gaanong masakit sa bulsa.

Binackup ko ang files sa laptop, at ibinalik ang HDD sa Xpc.  Kinagabihan, Sinaksak muli ang XP installer cd, para magreformat...guess what? ang ayaw gumanang repair biglang nagtuloy!!!! Sabi nga ni Paul "sabi sa 'yo honey, dapat nagrereklamo ka muna sa akin para gumana."

Sa inis ko, hindi ko na inantay pang tapusin ang repair tutal nakapagback-up na rin naman ako at may virus naman yung HDD.  So, nirestart ko ang pc at inistall ang XP.  As advised by friends, pinartition ko ang HDD - 40gig for OS and apps, 120gig for my personal files.   After mainstall ng XP, inistall ko naman ang motherboard drivers, then apps - avira, google chrome, java plugin, messenger.

Kinabukasan, binalik ko na ang files at binackup ko na rin ang pics sa DVD.
Kinagabihan, nagyaya si Yuro manood sa youtube at nadiscover kong hindi gumagana audio...
Chineck ko, corrupt daw ang driver... triny kong iinstall uli from sa cd, nag-fail.  Inisip ko, iuninstall ko uli lahat nung motherboard drivers, then reinstall uli from the CD.  ganun kasi nangyri sa akin dati. Ang problem, hindi ko makita kung saan ko inuunstall.  Nagdownload ako from net ng driver sweeper kaso hindi naman gumana.

Giving up, cinonsider ko nang ireformat uli ang hard disk.  Ang problema, ayaw naman gumana nung XP na cd! as in hindi siya maread!  Ang weird kasi kakagamit ko lang kahapon.  Hindi naman drive ang sira kasi nababasa naman ang ibang discs. hayst....

So naglogin ako sa  online support ng Qube. Tinanong ko pano mag-uninstall, ang sagot sa akin good morning.  Naggood morning din naman ako, then tinanong ko kung nareciv question ko...after 10 minutes, ang sagot "check ko po".  Dahil ang tagal nya magcheck at hindi ko alam kung ang ichecheck niya eh yung question o yung sagot, tinype ko na lang uli yung question.  After a while ang sagot, "pakireformat na lang po uli"! Eh di nga ako makapagreformat di ba, kasi ayaw gumana nung XP installer ko kaya  tinanong ko kung wala bang ibang way, and through phone, sinuggest sa akin na magdownload na lang from website ng Shuttle nung driver baka daw corrupt na yung cd.

24MB yung file, malas pa rin ba ko? Well, at 19.6MB hindi na nagtuloy ang download.  Cinancel ko at triny idownload uli. As of this writing, mukhang huminto na uli sya at 1.5MB!!! grrr....

So para saan ang post na ito? pang alis irita!
Tsaka madalas kasi, pag nagrereklamo ka sa mga kabwisitan mo sa buhay, bigla silang umaayos, parang nauusog, parang gusto ka lang ipahiya! hayst... So yun ang wish ko, matapos ang kamalasan ko... hindi lang dito, pati sa ibang aspeto...malapit nang magFriday, baka sumama pa sa Clark ang malas na iyan!!!

Oh and by the way, suggestion ng friend ko, asin ang pampaalis ng malas, gagawin ko rin yun!

whooo... saaaaa.....

update:
Matapos kong ipost yan, cinancel ko ang ayaw magtuloy na load, at inistart uli ang download.  Iniwan ko ang PC at naligo.  Sabi ng friend ko, lagyan ng asin ang pampaligo, so habang hawak ang salt shaker, para akong pari na binindisyunan ang timba ng tubig ng konting asin.
Matapos maligo, chineck ko ang status ng download. Aba! natapos! effective ang reklamo at asin. Ang kaso, nang irun ko, nagfail din! Triny ko uli isaksak ang XP installer baka gumana na, hindi pa rin! So no choice, bili na ng bagong installer.
Matapos sunduin si Yuan, triny ko ang bagong biling installer.  Smooth naman ang pagreformat at pag-install.  After mainstall ang Windows, ininstall ko na agad ang motherboard drivers.  At ng marinig ko ang startup sound ng Windows eh para akong nakarinig ng music...first time ever naappreciate ko ang sound na yun! hehehe.
So, nakangiti na ko at brinodcast ang success ko sa FB.  Next install, Avira.  After mainstall, nagwarning, may malware sa windows file! waaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
Since wala na kong ibang choice, triny ko na lang uli yung lumang installer. Aba! akalain mong gumana?!!! Nagreformat uli, install XP, install motherboard drivers.  Muling ngumiti nang marinig ang startup sound.  At lalong ngumiti ng iinstall ang Avira at wala nang warning!

hay, kakaloka di ba? yan ang patunay na minsan talaga mahilig magtrip ang tadhana.  At ako ay napagtripan nitong mga nakaraang araw. Nabadtrip ako, pero ang importante, ako pa rin ang nagwagi sa huli !!!!

hahaha! curse you malas! asin lang ang katapat mo! beh! :p

Unli-feel

I was surfing the net when I landed on this site (http://www.lovefatedestiny.com) .... for a while I enjoyed reading through sms quotes and is sharing them with you.  Medyo corny man ang dating sa iba ngayon, I know minsan sa buhay ng bawat isa sa atin, nag-emote at kinilig din tayo sa text. :)

Hirit Bata

Parang mommy lang...
I really should watch what I say cause chances are maririnig ko yun mula kay Yuro....

1.  Yuro said something that I did not understand so I asked "Ano?", akalain mong ang sinagot sa akin ay "wala, sabi ko maganda ikaw."

2.  Once, Yuro was talking and since I was doing something else, I just keep saying "oo"....ang sagot ni Yuro "oo ka nang oo diyan eh!"

3.   Yuro said "Mommy, halika lang"

       Me: wait lang (I was washing the dishes kasi)

       Yuro called me again, nung hindi pa rin ako lumapit, ang sagot niya..."Mommy, hindi ka ba susunod akin?"

ilang taon na lang, ilang taon na lang, makakatikim na ng batok sa akin itong bunso ko!


Tamang Paul
Eto ang mga proof na mana kay Paul ang mga anak ko ...nanalaytay sa dugo nila ang kapilosopohan...

1.  while Yuro was playing megablocks, he asked  "Mommy ano gusto mong gawin ko?"

      Ang sagot ko, "Kalabaw"

      when what I saw didn't look like a carabao to me, I asked "Ano yan?"

     Yuro said "Kalabaw. Di ba sabi mo kalabaw?"
      ba't kasi nagtanong pa ko eh....

2.  I was closing our gate when Yuro suddenly crossed the street.

     I ran after him and said "Yuro, hwag ka basta basta tatawid.  Eh kung masagasaan ka?"
     Yuro (nakangisi):  "E di patay.."
     kung di lang cute ang batang ito......

3.  While in the grocery kasama family, I realized na hindi ko na kailangang bumili ng sili.  Sabi ko" Ay, may bunga na pala yung tanim nating sili, di na ko bibili.  Maanghang kaya yun?"
     Sagot ni Yuan "syempre, sili eh!"
     at tumawa si Paul!


4.  Yuan while holding his Smart Cube toy said to his yaya "Ate, laro tayo nito."
      Sagot ng yaya "hindi ako marunong nyan eh"
      Sabi ni Yuan:  "kailangan smart ka dito kasi smart cube to eh."  
      no comment ang yaya.


5.  Habang pinapainom ko ng milk si Yuro, nagyaya siyang maglaro.  Dahil gusto kong ubusin nya muna ang milk nya, ang sabi ko: "Hindi ako makakalaro kasi hawak-hawak ko itong milk mo. "
     Sagot ni Yuro "e di ilagay mo dun sa table"
     hehe, wala akong lusot.
     

In 2010, I learned and realized that....

in no particular order...

• Reality bites and it hurts the most when you're left with no other choice but to accept it.
• Not all people are as nice/bad or as happy/sad as they seem.
• Sometimes, you won't get a second chance.
• Optimism gives hopes but too much of it can lead to procrastination and missed opportunities.
• I don't like having a maid but I need the help they provide.
• Rejection is still my biggest weakness and I better learn to handle it before it totally breaks me.
• We all get depressed sometimes and depending on how you use it, Facebook can lessen or aggravate that depression.
• In motherhood, giving up is never an option.  And these days, keeping your family together is a big accomplishment.
• Sometimes, it's best to just not care at all.
• It's all a matter of perspective and inspirations are everywhere. 
• There's the terrible twos but there are also more terrible threes and hard-headed eights. hehehe
• Kahit gaano ka-pasaway ang kids (and hubby na rin hehehe), at the end of the day  you'll appreciate them as your greatest blessing.  "At the end of the day" means pag tulog na sila...hehehe, joke.
• masakit sa bulsa maging tanga at magastos maging malungkot.
• True friends never fail to brighten your days.
• There have been better days and there will be better days.
• Nothing beats living in the same house with your best friend. :)

looking forward to more of  life's lessons in 2011.  Happy New Year! :)

My year that was

in no particular order....


The Bad
The December Depression Ordeal.
Failed Marriages/Failed Relationships (not mine, thank God)
Yuan still doesn't or can't complete his notes.
Yuro's whining has become worse.

The Neutral
Looked forward to 5 weddings, ended up attending only 2.
No yaya for 8 out of 12 months - loved the privacy but tired of household work.
Facebook time
Yuan's satisfactory school grades.
First time to vote but Noynoy won...hehehe

The Best
Generally, good health for my whole family.
Our family getaways in and out of town.
Everyday bonding with my boys...or should I say every minute, kasi wala naman akong yaya halos the whole year, hehe
Yuro's milestones - daytime potty trained and weaned from bottle feeding
Another milestone for Yuan- First Communion
A different Christmas celebration
Kitakits with friends

Dates and private moments with Paul

I've had better years but I'm still very thankful for all our blessings this past year.
To family and friends who have been part of my 2010, thank you so much for the memories.
Happy New Year! May this year be a better one for all of us. :)
