Something new

Finally bought an external hard drive and let me tell you, it was a huge relief for me and my laptop. I got the 500GB Passport Essential from WD, one of the best in storage according to the internet and perhaps the people around me too. Recently found out two of my bosses and my dad have their own. It's good that it worked right out of the box for Linux and now I'm eyeing the Book Essential 2TB. I know, I know. I really thought 500GB would be enough for me but from the way things are piling up with all the new downloads, it looks like I need a bigger one soon. The 2TB costs around 7k, nearly twice the price of my 500GB but it's going to be definitely worth it. If that happens I need to buy a USB extension hub too.

Just last week I saw this brochure for NEO laptops and looks like it won't be too far in the future to have an internal HDD of 1TB for laptops. The one from NEO had a 640GB HDD. Compared to my measly 130GB, my laptop really is in the oldies generation. But I'd rather wait for the regular pouring of new laptop models than buy a revolutionary one at this point. Who knows what other knick knacks will be added.

Dreaming up

At least I can still remember my blasted dream where I think I was celebrating my birthday but my cake got dumped on the floor. I called the baker--who was this hot long-haired character in a yaoi manga--who reassured me he can patch the cake up (the icing on top was ruined). Switched a scene and Dr. D--who was my psychopathology professor--invited me for coffee after school but got cancelled last minute because he was interviewing someone. A bit twisted especially since my emotions were rolling towards adoration towards the two men. Is that a clairvoyant way to telling me I'll go single for the rest of my life? Or that's just the dramatic side of me blabbering.

A bit of here and there

It's either I have to get a place of my own or be stuck without internet for a month before I can probably try writing again. That I have to give in and stop feeling pretentious that I still can produce something good. I've already accepted that I can only make pretty good prompts and sadly, that's not enough to produce two thousand words at my disposal. I'd seriously rather read the whole day and amuse myself in a sedentary lifestyle.

I still have tons to do when I get back to the office, hopefully by Tuesday. I'm not feeling well due to dysmenorrhea, which is a monthly occurrence but still a major fallout for my productivity. And my productivity's prolific as clean air in the metro. School work is not that heavy... yet. I'm as bad as I was a student in my college years. I don't read lessons in advance, I do my homework last minute and my 100% is 75% at best.

It's too late to start a film tonight since I plan to wake up by 2am for Real Madrid's game. At least this time I won't have to compromise with my work.
