I manage to have internet after all.. on secure WiFi too at the apartment we are staying at. (don't worry, I'm not piggybacking... WiFi belongs to my brother).

Blazing Fast as well.... it's cable internet!

Mega excursion today. Burnt out.

My MacBook hasn't been taken in for repairs due to personal cost issues and my fear of using James' money for big things. I think it needs a break, anyway.

I am doing better. Today is Brooklyn (Marble Cake)'s birthday, and we're having a large sports themed party outside. While I can't actually participate, I know the kids are happy, and we've got easier games going on for the younger kids.

I probably have a type of hemorrhage. Outlook looks good, though, medicine is helping, rest is helping, and we'll see soon enough. I always get through. Pleaaaaaase don't worry about me, this has got to be mild, whatever it is, because I feel so much better already.

So, that means your Mac would most likely be kept as scrap, yes?

hemorrage... I know how it feels given my stomach upset and bloody stools...

Yeah, and I heard that the opposition party in Malaysia alleged that the government is exploiting Filipinos to be used as flying or ghost voters in Kuala Lumpur.

Well, as long as it doesn't go into a landfill or off to an electronics recycling center.

Grapes, If you don't plan on getting it fixed, you should keep it as a sentimental piece. Some of us grow to love the various electronic devices that we use on a daily basis. We use them to communicate, have fun, and truly help out with our daily activities. Thus, they become a true part of our lives... something you can't do without.

But, there will come the day when said device will start having problems. Electronic devices get old, and they get slow, glitchy, and eventually, just die. Technology also evolves beyond the capabilities of your device, such as websites. If you grow attached to your laptop or tablet when that time comes, you will feel a little bit sad. It's like you lost an old friend perhaps... even though that friend was a piece of computer technology.

Me, I regret throwing out my first named computer, Daffodil. She was an old slow dinosaur of a computer running Linux at a time when the first Intel Core2Duo chips came out, and I loved using her, yet I thought the best thing to do was to leave her old shell after scrapping parts for the first version of Hazel. I should have kept her, even though by now she would literally be a dinosaur of a computer... capable of running only the lightest versions of Linux!

Hazel... she would still be with me, but I believe she got thrown out by accident by my parents. I was experimenting with a very old computer tower, and I instructed it get thrown out since it was too slow to be usable. I guess they threw out the other tower too. Bur I digress...

Not anymore. Whenever the time comes that one of my devices bites the dust, and no amount of repair will bring it back, I now intend on keeping the computers. I may salvage the RAM and hard drive for other systems, but I intend on keeping my old systems for sentimental values. I don't want to totally abandon Lilly or Greta like I did with old Daffodil.

As for old Daffodil, I decided to make a wrong right... somewhat... by naming my Android tablet Daffodil.

My father is hospitalized for dengue hemorrhagic fever. Fortunately it was detected early enough so there should be no complications. In any case, I'll be living only with my brother for a while because my mother stays with my father at the hospital to take care of him.
