MMMiii!

When my computer died, one of the first few things that I thought of was my motherboard being fried. It just wouldn’t turn on anymore suddenly. Then of course, I consulted some people, like my boss who sidelines as a computer consultant and technician and my friend Yu. I can’t remember who suggested it that my video card might have gone bad.

I do remember chatting with my boss though and he told me to try taking out the video card and see if it’s dirty or dusty and try cleaning it a little to see if it will change anything.

I took out my video card and I tried making the fan spin. It wasn’t spinning at all. So my boss told me to unscrew the fan and see if I could clean it out.

Is it still recognizable? I don’t know what you call that one, that thingie that reminds me of cities with high rise towers, that thing that functions as a heatsink maybe. Well… it was caked with dust. Literally caked. I had to poke the dust to remove it. Simple brushing wasn’t working. And the fan? Oh… a lot of work had to be done to the fan as well. I won’t even go into details.

Is there like a proper way of taking care of video cards? I know I’m not the best computer-literate person but if I did know how to take care of things, I might try to keep it in mind and prevent something like this from happening again. How do I avoid this from repeating anyway?

I dote on my doggie, Taba. I buy him stuff that sometimes is really a waste of money, but I just wanted to buy them for him. He has 3 collars. Or maybe 4… or 5? I can’t really remember. Of course, these are just cheap collars. He’s not a really huge dog so they’re not too expensive. Does he wear collars? No, not really. He doesn’t like it. Sometimes I make him wear them though. Right now, he has a piece of a pant-leg on his neck. … Choker?

I buy him chew-toys. Like milk bones, or that croissant chew thingie. He really loved that croissant thingie, but when it flooded here, it was one of the few things that I forgot to save coz he had it in his apartment. It’s usually just in my room but he must have ran away with it and I forgot about it. So I bought him a milk bone. Same material as the croissant thingie, but in a shape of a bone. And he hasn’t touched it at all. It’s just gathering dust. =_=

I got him milk sticks instead. Those, he kind of likes, but they get eaten up too fast. What Taba really likes are cables. And dangling stuff. And my monkey fridge magnet. And pillowcase zippers. And my shoe laces. And my pop’s shoes and slippers. And chicken bones. And pork bones. And beef bones. And the bathroom door. And his leash. And my expensive Sennheiser CX300 earphones.

I also bought him doggie treats, but he doesn’t like it. Mama says I waste too much money on Taba. I’d rather just buy him chiffon cake or sponge cake. He likes those better. Rather than expensive doggie stuff.

My brother thinks otherwise. Orc thinks I should just buy baby gifts for his baby. But the baby isn’t even here, why should I buy him gifts? And sadly, I don’t really feel any attachment for his baby, even if he is my first first-degree nephew (or is he really? XD).

I’d rather be spending and wasting my money on people and things I love (and my dog).

orz… I can’t even sit still or sleep properly if I know he’s not in my room. =_=;;

I LUB TABA~

Iks brought me a souvenir from his and Eelai’s last out of town trip. It’s just a choker with a cross pendant. It’s … cute. Although I’m not really into religious jewelry or jewelry with religious symbols…

I kind of feel like I’m desecrating it, but then a cross is just a cross, right? I also have cross-designed dangling earrings which I really like a lot, and I only got that for P50 because it had a defect which I fixed using my handy-dandy soldering gun.

I remember buying earrings for someone. The fish thingie that has a religious meaning… I like that design since it’s not blatantly like telling everyone I’m a religious person or something. It could be any fish for all anyone would care.

~_~ I don’t really wear chokers… I feel bad.
