it took me hours to finish setting up the new hard disk. first, i had problems placing it in the CPU case (i thought it was too big since it barely fits. i wasnt the one who installed the other hard disk, the 20 gig one). im using the 20 gig for the OS and downloads, while the 250 gig will serve as the real storage space. so, after screwing it all up (which was a problem since the hard disk did not come with any screws, so i had to use what i have, re-postioned the other screws i have available, like the example of the car with a flat tire with four screws missing), i found out that the file system used by the guy on the computer shop was NTFS. i asked the guy to make the partitions on the disk so all i have to do is install it. forgot that i prefer the FAT32 file system since NTFS causes compatibility problems. so, i had to download a disk director to re-format the file system. then after that, i removed and re-installed the softwares i have on the 20 gig, so all the 20 gig contains is the OS. this took hours. almost finished now. the only thing i have left to restore are the wallpapers and yahoo messenger. still have problems with drive C though. no matter how many files ive deleted, it seems that drive C isnt freeing any space. its supposed to be 50% full but according to its disk properties, its 75% full. would have reformatted the disk but i dont know how to set up the DSL connection (those goddamn bastards in Bayantel took weeks to install the DSL service!) . that's the only thing preventing me from reformatting the local disk.

weird day for a ride on the mrt/lrt. for some reason, my sense of direction is poor earlier this day. cant find my way to the right platform (i went to the southbound platform before i realized that i am on the wrong side, and even had to make a fool of myself by confirming to the security guard whether im on the wrong platform). even had to ask for directions where the right platform is. dont know why i find it hard to remember (although i think im just doubting myself whether im right or not because i really know where to go, it just so happens i need some assurance whether im right). even forgot how to use the card. well, not really. like i said, i needed an assurance whether im holding the card properly so i wont have to do the trial and error thing on the card slot for the ticket.

finally!!! i've finally bought the 250 gig hard disk ive been longing for. well, not really 250 gig but ive been longing for a bigger hard disk. ive been stuck on a 20 gig hard disk since college. and back then, 20 gig wasnt that bad, but it was the 40 gig which people aim to have. actually, 40 gig was already the normal disk size, so people have started dumping their 20 gigs to get to 40 gig, and im just stepping from 2gig to 20gig! now, the largest disk size ive seen is around 700plus gig, and it costs more than P20,ooo. i got my 250 gig seagate hard disk for only P3950 (the usual price is around P4320). hope that i didnt get a defective one or a low quality hard disk. but its seagate, all my hard disk always had been seagate and never had problems with it. but it didnt cost that low though (if i were to adjust the price to the disk size and time it was for sale). anyway, so far, the hard disk is working fine, got lots of space for files, music and downloads. too bad the internet connection is still slow.

so, what did i do today? might as well write an entry while waiting for the other websites to load. well, all i did was wait inside the van, sit there and listen to some music (nelly furtado's loose album and the happy feet OST). aside from that, well, i saw a man peddling some DVDs and bought two (DoA and Happy Feet), since i dont have the time to go to Quiapo (and dont have the money to buy the ones being sold in malls). so there. that's about 3/4 of the entire day. well, i woke up around 12pm and its only 630 pm. well, the day is almost over (or is it?).

IMDB is still not finished!!! and i cant play neopets!

waiting for IMDB to load....and after 10 million years...still loading!!

just watched Dead or Alive on DVD, and i want to know who's who...

internet speed: still sloooooooooooowwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!

at least blogger is working perfectly. maybe this will be one of the things i can do online. sigh. no neopets fun for a little while.

holy crap! the internet connection is sooo slooowww!!! wow, that earthquake in Taiwan must have really caused some considerable damage. according to news reports, it will take months before the undersea cables are fully repaired. hope they find an alternative solution or fix this ASAP. not that its affecting my neopets addiction but, well, it does sort of affects my daily internet activity.

wow, another blog entry in less than an hour. well, i just read my blog entry in my multiply site, and i what i can say about it is: i should learn how to post shorter blog entries. its really tiring to read a long blog entry. besides, my target reader is myself anyway.

i really should oblige myself to post something in this blog. ive neglected this site from quite some time. besides, i need to improve my writing skills.

so, what can i write for tonight? well, nothing much happened today. just stayed home, since it's official, im on christmas break! i received a text message from grace telling me that the make up classes for civil procedure will not push throught. well, that is good news for this year but a bit of a bad news for next year. not having the classes this tuesday and wednesday means a heavier load next month and next year, and that we will have to catch up with more lessons. also, there are other make-up classes for other subjects. so, well, not sure right now whether to savor the break while there's the chance to take a rest and relax, or to still study in order to minimize the load for next year. cant it be both? well, of course it can, but it wont be much as good if i choose only one, but at least i get to accomplish two things. oh well, hope i get to decide by the time a wake up later.
