Been a While

Just saying a hello to all the people that want to hear from me. That means that I am saying hello to the three people that might read this. And I do mean might.

It has been a while since I've written a piece on my blog about myself. Things have kind of picked up for me. I've got a full-time job now. The law firm that I work with decided to bring me on full-time. I don't plan on being there forever or anything. At least I can have some change in my pocket without going to the red once my utilities and/or rent kicks in on my account. It will make me feel better.

And the Benefits!! I know that it is important for me to have benefits. It is about time for me to start getting off of my parents' insurance. I mean I am turning 26 in about four months, so I might as well start taking care of myself.

The evil part in me is planning on buying some things and finding ways to save up money for my paid vacation. I think that I should look at ways to budget better and keep as much money as humanly possible. Then maybe a rainy day would come and I can buy something important. Maybe like a new laptop.

My laptop is on its last legs. My settings are "temporarily" disabled. I can't get into my music or my podcasts (even though I can go straight to their website). Plus the fact that if I have my laptop on for an hour, it would flip off. I mean at least it doesn't want to overheat and blow up my hard drive but still I don't think this old thing can manage this long.

I've had this thing for about three years so I think it might be time to get a new laptop. Don't know if I want to get a Mac or stick with a PC. I am not too picky with my laptops. I don't play any games on it. I just kind of use it for getting on twitter, listening to music, and watching soccer on live stream. So maybe a $300 to $400 PC laptop will do. Or possibly get one of those mini-laptops that my sister has, they look cool.

Rambled enough about the laptop. I can't help myself I love having a laptop around, my smartphone doesn't do everything for me.

Where was I?

Oh saving. Yes I do need to save more. I need to learn how to cook. Takeaway and fast food is putting a drain on pocket. Buying groceries even if it was ramen or microwaved food would be better than eating fast food. Also help me in my search of losing some weight, plus making some other life choices will help too. (I'll get into that in a later post).


Otherwise I am trying to live. I still have problems with myself that I need to deal with. But I am okay with things how they are. Still in the forever search for a nice kind young woman, I will stay patient though. Good things come to those who wait...

Hopefully I don't wait until it is too late...

R.I.P to my laptop....for now

It finally bit the dust. My laptop finally stopped working on me. It happened about two weeks ago but I still haven't came to terms of it dying on me. I shed a tear when I took it to the computer repair's shop. I thought they were going to tell me that I needed to buy a brand new laptop which I know for a fact that I cannot afford at this time.

Well bad news turns into somewhat good news. The guy at the shop said that the motherboard has died and he will be able to fix the problem by putting in a new motherboard but it'll cost me $260, which I'd rather pay then the possible thousands that I would have to pay. So I left the shop confident that I would get my laptop within a week.

Week has passed by and I was told that the problem was not fixed and that they need to import the motherboard and it will take another week for the problem to be fixed. Of course my morale went down even more at this point and I just hung up the phone comtemplating what life will be like without my baby for another week.

I know what you are thinking. Aren't you taking this a bit to hard? Probably, but I don't want to pay 6 dollars to go to an internet cafe and use their computer. Also I don't want to overuse the computers in the house that I am in. I feel that it would lead to a worn out welcome if I'm just on their laptops or desktops all the time. Plus I don't want to upload any photos that I've taken because I don't want to overload their computers with things that I have.

It's just a host of things that I'm currently concerned about. It just turned Thursday and I got a couple of more days until I'll get the call that will tell me my computer's fixed and I will be able to pick it up. To see it again will be worth the 260 bucks I have to splash out to get it fixed. I'm sure it will cost more really since they had to take another week to pick up the part. Uhh crap???
