i found a torrent for Tapestry zomg. DOWNLOAD ET.

fck firefox 3.

i can't bear the errors i get whenever i access web pages with lots of ads. i can't bear having to restart downloads when i get the stupid errors. i can't bear having to restart downloads because it disabled free download manager and you have to use their download manager. the last straw was when YM links started opening with IE and not firefox.

i'm going back to firefox 2. someone notify me when the above issues are resolved, only then will i upgrade.

it is so hot even the ants are thirsty. i left a glass of water on my pc table only to find it mobbed by ants who appear to be drinking from it. while maintaining a neat line on the water edge, of course.

our modem seems fried, too. a 474kb file downloaded 10 minutes ftw.

bought 40 pieces of paracetamol. all of them consumed in two weeks. it seems i need to impose drug control protocols in this house now, too.

our house number got changed. ~_~

our subdivision initiated this project some weeks back to organize the house numbers in our area as there was some confusion in some house numbers because of empty lots, etc.

thought we were okay since ina told us when we got our house number that they got it from the homeowners' association.

well, apparently the association was wrong.

our house number is 12 now, not 10.

i like the number and all (1x2 lol) but i can't help but think of the horror of having to go through postal problems as most everyone we gave our address to knows that our house number is 10. the bills are no problem since those were registered before we had a house number so those indicate the block and lot number. but there still are other important institutions that have our address, like banks.

the headache. ~__~

these past few days i've been in a nasty unpredictable state.

work seems to have lost its hold on me - i'm getting pretty tired of it even though only a small number of files are being sent. i've been craving to go out but then i lose the energy to even think of a place to go to. and my thoughts get so disoriented easily.

net has also been nasty. Gmail keeps failing on me, which isn't helping at all since it's my main address for my job.

i don't think there's anything specially wrong, though. love life is okay.♥ kaida is wonderful, as usual.♥ there are no pressing matters aside from the usual household stuff.

aru's even worried i might be pregnant again. LOL! i told him i'm 100% sure i'm not. XP

maybe this damned weather is draining the life energy out of me. it's still february, for crying out loud. where has the cool weather gone? T_T

this isn't a really nice way to start the chinese new year. it's my year, even.

haaaay.

a few nights ago, i dreamt i killed a pldt lineman. he was begging for his life and promising to do better. i showed no mercy.. a pure manifestation of wrath, i was in my dream. a fellow lineman escaped my clutches and reported me to the police, so i got caught. the story was all over the news, and the people did not condemn me. every single one understood my situation.


i am so tired of this. we finally got our dsl, but after three days of choppy connection, our phone line goes dead again for almost two weeks, and on the day when we were setting up our router for networking, no less. i can understand not having dsl, but not having a dial tone even for measly dial-up is too much.

sure they fixed our phone. but we can't connect for some reason so we called 172, the pldt hotline for dsl. they said they be sending a technician, and god knows how slow these technicians are.

and of course it does not stop there. oh no. in the middle of my conversation with the csa i suddenly hear the voices of two women talking and i went wtf. our lines seem to have gotten intertwined again or something.. i just don't know anymore.

how do these things even happen? and why does it have to happen to us? ever since june 6, we've had a grand total of four days of our phone working. i really must demand at the very least a 50% discount on our next bill. i am not paying for this kind of service.

to boot, our dial-up connection seems to have degenerated from unuse. from a steady 38.6 to 44.0kbps, we suddenly get a choppy 24.0kbps at most and i want to know why. i used to be able to download 6mb audio files for my work, now i had to wait for two whole minutes for this effin' upgrade journal page to load amidst spurts of timed out loading. i can't even begin to imagine the horror i must go through once i click on the update journal button.

somebody will have to answer for this. middle of june, a friend emailed me with a good home-based job offer and the good lord be praised, the job is still available even when i was not able to reply immediately at that time. they are waiting for me now to submit my resume once i get my dsl fixed so i can work properly. if i do not land this job because of the incompetency of pldt.. my dream just might come true.
