It has been months since my last sensible blog.  Many factors can be attributed to this decline.  For one, my day job has eaten my spirits away- with all the work load and Christmas prep, I have only little time left to do other things.  Another very painful occurance is the bugging down of the Apple MacBook Pro that I so so love.  I woke up one day and it refused to start-up.  I was confident that my techie spouse could whip up his computer wizardry and make it work but alas, it was not as simple as that. 

To resolve the concern, we browsed through apple sites and forums and searched for related problems.  We found one that enumerated the same symptoms that our MacBook was experiencing.  We were disheartened to find out that in order for us to address the problem, we have to shell out at least Php50,000 to purchase an important hardware.  My goodness, it was as if buying a whole new unit again!  So naturally, we have to plan this out first and see how we can squeeze it in our finances.

Now I am back to using my dear old Compaq Presario 2100.  From being totally disregarded for the past several months, we now see it to be a durable and reliable piece of machine.  I would want to one day own a Sony Vaio for a change but in the meantime, I do not see any harm in settling for my dependable and sturdy laptop.

What really bugs me is that I had 100% faith over Apple and all its products.  For me, an Apple shutting down and refusing to start up is way impossible.  I mean, isn’t Apple the best? Isn’t Apple top-of-the-line?  I am not computer geek.  I am simply expressing my sentiments.  Regardless, I am still hopeful that the MacBook will soon be repaired and start running again.  Even with my experience, I am still relying on the fact that the laptop is still an MacBook and so it will be revived again.  In a way, I am also to be blamed for its temporary demise.  I mean, I am not the most careful person in the world… Well then, if given a second chance I will surely be more cautious-  I will really give the MacBook the care and concern that it deserves… Anyway, my blogging need not be curtailed as I have my durable Compaq at my disposal.
