    I forgot to tell the waiter, who took this shot, to <em>half-press</em> first, thus the blur.

    I spent the whole day today with my family. In the photo above are my parents, my brothers Jec and Jem, Sharon, Che-che, Deej, and me. This kind of gathering doesn’t happen everyday so I thought of preserving it using my camera and posting the photos here (plus, I really really want to update this blog because it’s a Saturday night and I got nothing else to do). We had lunch today at Pier One, Global City.

  • Close Call

    7

    The past couple of weeks are just unbelievably crazy for me.  Sales are slow at my full-time job which is why I had to work doubly hard to reach our quota — but to no avail, really.  We had to resort to making major changes in our websites, especially by bringing down the prices of our products to attract buyers.  I’m inclined to blame the dwindling U.S. economy.

    At home, we’re also having problems.  My dad is being a pain again, as he has been for as long as I can remember.  I love my dad, but when will the madness stop??  More on this some other day.

    As if these two problems aren’t enough, last night I did something that I regretted tremendously.  When that software upgrade icon showed up on my MBP’s screen, I absentmindedly clicked ‘yes’ — not knowing that the upgrade process will take so long!  I got impatient after about 20 minutes, so I pressed the power button down to shut the laptop off.  When I turned it on again, the screen got stuck on the page where there’s an Apple logo in the center and a loading icon below it.  Even after almost an hour of waiting, it still won’t boot properly.  Of course, by then, I was already panicking.  I may know some stuff about computers, but when it comes to hardware stuff, I’m a big dummy.
