Bought a new external hard drive. Plan to salvage what I can from my old comp. Whee.

Ah! How can it be the end of Septmeber already?

Halloween, Thanskgiving, CHRISTMAS! It’s all coming too soon!

And me being my ever procrastinating self!

While It’s been a relatively slow month (and a half?) for me, it hasn’t really been uneventful.

Towards the latter part of June, I got into a fender bender. Nothing major, thankfully, just a few dents. Needless to say, I will now be extra careful when backing out of fast food restaurants.

Also, I’ve been recommended for a possible promotion at work. Just word-of-mouth really, since I haven’t heard anything official yet. If it did happen, I’d would definitely help me save up for a new car. I’ve been thinking about getting one that’s more fuel economic, what with the rising cost of fuel and all.

And just yesterday I bought a new video game (that my sister just HAD to have) for around $40. So, today I stop by the store again just to see “what’s new”, and guess what game was in the used games bin for HALF the price? Yes, my luck sucks when it comes to those things…well, hindsight and all that.

I admit I’ve been a bit lazy about posting, but I’m trying, see? I think I’ve even made it mildly interesting…

Also, special thanks to Sora for the birthday greeting! Nevermind if it was late, but it’s the only online one I got! … Which is kinda sad actually… LOL Thank you!

So, it seems I haven’t been posting in this blog as much as I’d hoped I would. Oh, well…

In other news… I finally bought a new laptop! *cheers & celebrates* It’s a bargain model (though it still costs several hundred dollars ) but it comes with everything I need on a daily basis. Since it’s compact, it’s way lighter than my older laptop, which was bought back in 2003. The main thing I wanted, and got, was the wireless-readiness, which is a must for someone on the move as much as me. Cafe lounging, here I come!

Also, I can’t believe Mother’s Day is so early this year! May 11, for those who didn’t know. I’ve been meaning to get something nice for my mom, since I was unfortunately unemployed last Christmas and couldn’t get her anything over $10 . But, with the purchase of my laptop, I’ll have to be pretty creative with my gift-giving if I want to keep by bank balance in the black. Decisions, decisions…

My birthday is also this month! Even though it’s weeks away, I have a hunch my friends are planning something fun. We’ll see…

Hopefully, if things quite down at work, I’ll be able to blog and edit the domain more this month. I’ll be experimenting a lot with layout, that’s for sure.

EDIT: I just upgraded my WordPress! I’m loving the pale blue/black motif in the admin panel.

I’ve been so busy with work and everything that I completely forgot I haven’t visited my own websites in so many weeks!

Anyway, I’ve made some progress with recovering some files from my old hard drive, but the bulk of it still needs to be copied over. It really sucks though…because I loved my old computer. I wish I could salvage it, but in truth it’ll probably cost more than buying a whole new laptop. Which I am trying to do, hence the long hours at work that leave me with little energy except to sleep. Yeah, I’ve been doing a lot of that lately…

In the long run though, I hope to get all my files back and my own laptop to work on. Sharing the family computer is just too inconvenient and cumbersome for me.

Oh, belated Happy Valentine’s Day to those who are into that, and Happy Singles Awareness Day to those who are not! Either way, I got lots of chocolates from my friends!
