I had this month all planned out
but due to a series of unfortunate events, those plans did not exactly go the
way I wanted them to. I wanted to just make a short paragraph explaining what
happened in the past couple of days but I decided that I would dedicate one
entire post for this because I figured that some people might not be interested
with things that aren’t related to makeup or whatnots.
So, in the middle of the month, I
accidentally destroyed my laptop. Do not ask me how or why. I didn’t completely
break it but the impact was strong enough to put my hard disk drive (HDD) to
sleep – FOREVER. So on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, I went home
to San Julian (my hometown) to have my laptop fixed. I know someone there who
would be willing to fix my laptop for free. The last time I had a problem with
my laptop, he was the one who reformatted it and was still able to recover all
my files. This time, he didn’t, or rather couldn’t. He did however fix my laptop by replacing a
new HDD which cost my pops Php 3,500. L
I was then advised to bring my old HDD to a store in Tacloban just in case.
I first went to Joebz, a popular computer shop in the city. They tested my HDD but found no luck. “R.I.P.,” the woman from Joebz said. I went to Octagon, no luck either. Charles then suggested that we go to this guy named July who was their neighbor and whom he described as an “expert.” I confided. It took him longer than expected when we first went and there were some technical difficulties so I came back the next day and left my HDD there and came back the day after (If that even made sense). Unfortunately, he too, could not do anything. He tried ten times and failed. I felt defeated but I knew I had to move on. Just for one last try, I had my friend KC look at it but he also couldn’t do anything. I gave up and moved on.

I felt so devastated and
frustrated because all my documents were in that HDD. Plus, I wasn’t able to
make a backup for my recent pictures and videos. It was a sad week for me.
Lesson learned: ALWAYS KEEP A
BACKUP OF YOUR FILES EVERYDAY, IF NOT, EVERY WEEK. I suggest you buy an
external HDD. I have one and I’ve backed my files up even before I lost
everything, but I wasn’t able to keep a backup of my most recent documents. If
you’re asking, my external HDD is 1 terabyte which is equal to 1,000 gigabyte
and it’s from Seagate. I don’t know how much it costs though.
And you think that’s all? HAHA. Just
this Wednesday, I already planned on shooting for my next Thrift Finds. Charles
was already at my house to help me out. I wore my makeup, clothes and the pair
of scarpins I featured last month. We were ready to head downstairs and out but
I missed a step and I fell down the stairs – HARD. Here are just a couple of
pictures I took three days after the damage. Charles was traumatized and he was
fixed on not continuing the shoot. Plus, my butt was sore so I couldn’t really
do anything. I’m still in the recovery phase. HAHA.

So, I mentioned that my shoot was
postponed, but I did plan on having it today. Sadly enough, there’s a storm out
and I couldn’t shoot outside. Plus, I’m not really in the mood for anything
right now. So I’ll have to take a rain check, literally, on that. The biggest
downfall from this heavy rain is the crushing of our town fiesta. Today is
supposed to be a day of paint, parade and pure fun but because of the rain, I’m
not so sure. I didn’t have plans on going to the city but I did plan on going
to the mall because I knew that there would only be a small crowd there if
indeed the parade went on. Right now, I’m pretty sure that all the people
flocked to that one safely-roofed and “air-conditioned park” called Robinsons.
Tomorrow would be the last day of
June but I didn’t want to leave June without a post. So here it is! Plus a haul
coming up. I also have a couple of series posts planned and I’m really excited
about that. Maybe I’ll dedicate a post for that one too.
Thanks for reading!
Ciao!
