Broken Hard Drive?

Sooo.
My hard drive died?!

NOOOOOO!

All my beautiful music!
That’s okay, though.

My main concern was my pictures…
and sadly…
They were all lost..

:(

SIKE!

Luckily, my dad forced me to copy pictures
to our other computer
so that he could make a slideshow of them?

That was quite fortunate!

It just sucks for now, a little.
I’m using the extra comp.
The one with the pictures!

I should be getting a replacement hard drive soon.
I chatted with a “Dell Representative”
which was kinda like chatting with an aimbot…
Until the end:

01/05/2009 10:58:17AM Agent (Swethanjani_71877): “It is the Samsung hard drive that you have purchased along with the system.”
01/05/2009 10:58:23AM Agent (Swethanjani_71877): “It is the same size hard drive.”
01/05/2009 10:58:28AM Agent (Swethanjani_71877): “There is no change.”
01/05/2009 10:58:37AM Philip Frias: “okay thanks”
01/05/2009 10:58:39AM Philip Frias: “just wondering”

01/05/2009 10:58:56AM Agent (Swethanjani_71877): “You will receive an e-mail summary for this chat session. If you have any issues with the computer please reply to the e-mail so that we can contact you back at the earliest to help you. Is that okay ?”
01/05/2009 10:59:08AM Philip Frias: “yeah”
01/05/2009 10:59:12AM Philip Frias: “alright thanks for your help”
01/05/2009 10:59:22AM Agent (Swethanjani_71877): “You are welcome.”

01/05/2009 10:59:48AM Philip Frias: “farewell, then”
01/05/2009 10:59:49AM Agent (Swethanjani_71877): “Since there are no further questions and no response, I will be disconnecting the chat now”
01/05/2009 10:59:57AM Agent (Swethanjani_71877): “You too.”

Weird.
But, cool?

Anyways, I’m planning on doing some kind of blog this week.
That should be interesting.

I’ll have it up by the end of the weekend, hopefully.
That’s if i even do it in the first place.

Well, farewell then!

Happy 2009!

It’s the new year!

And with the new year
comes new hopes and new dreams!
Most of which will never be realized.

No, i joke!
… mostly.

Speaking of things which will never be realized,
let me share some resolutions i have in mind!

1) Do more random acts of kindness.
Basically, I wanna try and help more people out whenever they need it.
I know i can’t go and help every single person i see,
but lending a helping hand to those who need it,
even just from time to time,
can have a big impact on some people.

2) Communicate digitally more?
I’m gonna join a good number of my friends
and start my own project 365.
Additionally, I’m gonna try to start blogging pretty consistently again.
I might even start making random video blogs?!

3) Improve my college life!
Soooo, last semester was very weak on my part.
My grades were lousy
and so was my entire… character?
I need to start hanging out more
with my friends who i started to abandon.
But, I also need to stop hanging out so much.
I need to focus on my work.
I really gotta step my game up,
academically and socially.

4) Lose a little more weight
I’m proud to say that i’ve come a pretty long way.
I’m almost at my goal…
well, I was… until the holidays came.
Because holidays = delicious fooooods.
But, that’s just a minor setback!
I plan on, firstly,
destroying the weight i gained so far over break,
and then lost another 5-10 pounds.
And then keeping a stable weight around there!!!
Okay, sounds good!

That’s about it!
Pretty elementary, I’d say.

Welll, I leave you with a video!
A little fun with Tbag.

Well, Happy New Years, everyone!

Some thoughts.

I think I’m gonna start blogging again.
Im not sure why i stopped.
I guess it’s cause i’m so EXTREEEEEEEEME.

All or nothing.
Blog everyday
or blog… neveryday?

Hopefully I can manage
to find some middle grounds.
I don’t want to blog everyday again.
But i do want to blog.

Hmmmm….
We’ll see how that goes.

Oh yeah,
I have a twitter, now?

PinoyFiL

I randomly joined when i was bored.
We’ll see how that goes, as well!!!!!!!

Like some of my friends have done,
I’m thinking about starting up a
Project 365.
I’ll probably start on the first day
of the new year.
Not sure what site to use, though.
Perhaps Photoblog like my friends, too

For those who don’t know
what Project 365 is…
I think it’s like…
taking a picture (or multiple pictures)
everyday for 365 days (a whole non-leap-year!!).
That’s like blogging everyday!!
For a year!

I really want a DSLR.
I’ve wanted one before,
but ever since Thanksgiving break,
I’ve wanted one more than EVER!!!

Basically, my uncle brought his over
and i took a billion pics with it.
I got a taste of greatness!!!

I hope to get one by the end of summer.
I need to work, though…
because DSLRs are not free!
AM I RIGHT?!

Hm…
Emo thought!!:
It sucks knowing that
failure and disappointment
are waiting just around the bend.

uhhh…
Masochist thought!!!:
I think it would feel really good
to bang my head
violently and repeatedly
on my wooden desk.
(not the stone wall, though.
too much ouch.)

I think i overslept.
I feel a bit weird.

Well, more later.
Goodbye again, for now.

Goucher ‘08.

Today, I went to the Goucher tournament.
Hoooray!

First game, Booya loses to the Goucher Alum.
aka “The Associates”

They were pretty money.

They have this one guy,
James.
He was the captain of
the goucher team last year.
Then he graduated.

Anyways.
He’s sick.
Too sick.
His throws are godly.
And his fakes.
insanity.

Screw him.

Nah, just kidding.
He’s a really awesome dude.
And he makes ultimate fun to watch.
(But not fun to play.
Especially when you get faked by him
every time.)

Yeah, so we lose that game.
Automatically bumped down to the B bracket.

We take Rowen for the next game.
We win on universe point.
Final score:
Booya – 12
Rowen – 11
… i think.

We move on to
THE CHUMPIONSHIPS!

The championships for the B bracket.

We’re playing the Goucher team.
We claim victory
and become
The Chumpions!

I couldn’t really play my hardest
because i hurt my knee pretty badly
on thursday.
I was playing basketball….
I always hurt myself during basketball.

So, not being able to play
to my full potential
kinda de-pumped me up the whole time.
It was still good fun, though.

Hm.
I kinda seems like
I’m not getting enough sleep.
I mean, I know some of my friends
are getting much less sleep than me,
but I still feel like i should be getting more sleep.
I need to nap more.

Naps are so nice.

I actually just skimmed over my posts
throughout the days of October.
Valuable already, duuudes.

Well, that is it for now!

Oh yeah.
I forgot.

I’m shaving tonight!!
Yay!!

There will be autographed pictures
if anyone wants em!

They’ll be selling like lumpia!

Happy Halloween!

As you know, today is Halloween!

I did not dress up.
Atleast not that much.
But we’ll get to that later.

Hhhhmmmm.
Let’s see.
Oh!
Today, at the ASC meeting
(Asian Student Connection)
we had…
free Chic-fil-A!

Speaking. and blocking the food.

Notice the boxes
filled with smaller boxes
filled with Chic-fil-A.
There were about 3 large boxes
for about… 40 people maybe?

Anyways, there was a lot left over.

It was so good!
and so free!

Next, there was this Halloween Fest thing
on Erickson Field.
I mainly went to watch my friends perform
in Major Definition.

You might burn yourself?

One of my friends in Major Def
was dressed as Quail man!
Killer Tofu!

Bringin it back, son.

Then, I met my friend Pat Pat’s friend.
This is her!
at… Chipotle!

Burrito wannabe.

Oh, check out this douchebag, too.

He has no friends.

Group pic!

Aluminumazing!

Pretty fun!

We went to the mall before Chipotle, too.
Tony bought a fitted O’s hat.
and I bought
this!!

I’m probably gonna paint something on it.
Most likely… my name.

I also wanted to try to buy
a beanie and some gloves.

While attempting to find some beanies,
i discovered the acceptability of H&M.

Yes.
I did just say that.
Very odd, indeed.

I didn’t actually buy anything there
but i did try on basically of the beanies
that they had to offer.
That’s about 10 different beanies.
Trying them all on multiple times.

Eventually, I bought a beanie
at Five below!

Woooot.
$5.00!
Nice!

That’s about it for today.

Oh yeah, i randomly thanked a girl
that works at the front desk of my dorm.
I thanked her for her “Good Morning”
to me this morning.
Yeah, i just wanted to let her know
that I appreciated her kindness.

Okay, that’s it for today!
I think i’m getting a haircuit
and perhaps shaving tomorrow.

If i don’t shave by tomorrow,
I’m definitely shaving on Sunday.

Goodbye!
