My dad and I went to Tricom (the exclusive Philippine distributor of Toshiba) yesterday to look at laptops. We ran into his old classmate from Ateneo who turned out to be the sales supervisor – he’ll be giving us a discount! Yay! My heart is set on the Toshiba Satellite A100-P545. My dad was ready to pay for it yesterday but they didn’t have any units in stock. They’re pulling out three units from Cagayan de Oro and one of them will be mine if no else reserved them. Pfft! :annoyed: I told my dad to have it reserved way back but he didn’t listen! Gaaaaah! It’s so hard to work on my dad’s old laptop..we have to share it until he can buy us both new laptops because my desktop’s broken. He’s thinking of buying the Toshiba Tecra M5 for himself. I’m so excited! It’ll be nice to have a computer all to myself again. I won’t have to worry about losing files anymore! And the A100 is equipped with fingerprint sensor technology!

After that, we went to SM Megamall to look at the other laptops. We found the M100 equivalent of the A100 that I decided on. ^_^ It’s lighter at 2.26kg but the screen is smaller and the clockspeed’s a bit lower. But I think he really wants the Tecra M5.

We walked around for a while and my dad saw some pianos. There was a beautiful second-hand Beckstein that my mom and I fell in love with. *sigh… I really miss playing the piano. I played the chorus of Fly Me to the Moon but the owner of the shop went out and I got shy. :embarrassed:

And now to my favorite topic. BOOKS. I’m reading Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson. It’s not as good as I thought it would be. But it’s my fault, too. I was expecting it to be something like The Notebook. But there’s only one Nicholas Sparks.

I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.

But the truth is, I don’t need Nicholas Sparks to know how good love can be. I only have to think of him and I know that love really does exist. I think what I really need to read is P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern (again). If you don’t know why, I suggest you read it for yourself. ;)

Now I need to go and get ready for school – yes, school – I have to enroll today. School starts on Monday. I can’t believe I have only three months left of college! I’m graduating… *sigh… I don’t think I’m ready.

I’ll return comments later! Thanks guys! I’m so glad to be back online! :bouncy:
