The Talking Presario

Hello everyone! I am Mel's laptop. She uses me all the time. I was a gift from her husband a long time ago. He actually visited her in the Philippines for more than a couple of times. He bought me for her when she was in the Philippines so they can continue their everyday communication for the last three to four years. Their consistent communication was basically through me with a cam and a headset. I have flown from the United States to the Philippines and back. How is that for a computer? I am proud to be a part of their beautiful love story and to make the story short they got married and have relocated in the States. She regularly uploads me with so many pictures of them together as they go from one place to another. I tell you she has thousands of them. She is a budding blogger who keeps on clicking me till the wee hours of the morning visiting others blog and learning the art of blogging. She often communicates with her mom and siblings through me too. Pretty much I am her window to the world. Yes, you can call me an extension to her beautiful eyes and ears. I am a silver Compaq Presario R4000. I am a little bit heavy that she sometimes complain but portable enough to be carried. I have graciously aged through the years of usage. I choke in those many many clicks she makes so she starts and restarts me all the time. Yeah, yeah, it's pretty much an obvious sign of my aging I agree.

Right now she is trying to convince her husband to buy her a new HP laptop since they are offering a $30 off on orders of $150 or more at HP home store. All she need to do is use the coupon code SV2132 which is valid up to 10/31. Restrictions and exclusions apply. As a mom who is always on the go she wants to get the thinnest and lightest laptop called the HP Pavillion dv2z series. I'm jealous but I think she has a pretty choice. I have done my fair share of service so I hope her hubby will be convinced soon so I can retire in fantasy land! Good luck Mel!

Cleaning the House

Staying at home the whole day with nothing to do but look at the computer I became so bored. Then all of a sudden I thought of something to do at home aside from getting bored. I got the vacuum cleaner and started cleaning the house. Moving the vacuum back and forth from the living room to the family room to the dining room to the bedrooms. I think the rabbit felt crazy with the sound of the vacuum so from time to time I turn it off. I must have tortured her that much so I moved upstairs and started vacuuming the stairs to the bedrooms. I felt a sense of relief at the end of the day that finally my task was done. Time went so fast that I did not realize my kids are already home. My daughter begged for food and suddenly I realized I have not made anything for dinner yet. I gave her some snacks since it was an hour away before dinner. When my husband came I asked him if we could get some fast food since I did not make food. He let me chose to go out today or tomorrow. I chose the later. i would rather go to a restaurant than a fastfood. lol. We went to H Mart to get some groceries and she told me that he will make dinner for us. When we came home he made spaghetti while I helped him out. I thank him for making the dinner for us. I had two servings of spaghetti. I must have been so hungry.;-) I think my sense of balance with household chores and computer use is out of control these days. I am glad I was able to clean the house today. It made me feel better that my husband noticed what I did. Most of all I am grateful he helped me make food. Don't get me wrong I love making food but cleaning 6 rooms? I was totally exhausted.

Workplace Sensitive Issue

We are lucky to live in a world of modern technology. A computer at home, at school or at work is a great tool to make ones work easier and faster yet some of the employees tend to abuse this essential tool. Having attended a computer course on how to fix it, our teacher have reminded us that pornographic materials are most often accompanied with computer virus that brings disaster to computers. Computers should be guarded with these viruses so as not to cost us a lot of money to have it fixed.
In my husband's workplace where majority of the population are males I wonder how many are passing pornographic materials from one person to another. They design and structure buildings. Their kind of work is very sensitive and difficult so if a computer is broken because of virus, I could not imagine how much money their company will loose. I wonder if they have a pornography-detection tool to prevent a possible hostile work environment.
