Yay for Creative Labs!
[written yesterday]
I went to mass today, like I promised Jayar I would. It wasn't that bad, except after communion, I was kneeling and I was composing myself before prayer when the person in front suddenly said "Let us pray." That basically signalled us to stand. In short, I didn't get to pray.
Now, all I want to know is what I would have said had I the chance to pray..
"God, I'd wish for everything that is good, but you always give me the opposite so I guess I'm not praying for that."
"God, what do you want from me?"
"God, can you hear me now? What about now? What about now? What about now? You're *static* -ing *static* -ack when *static* time. *static* "
Sabi nung friend ko, "Sinabi niya na magpunta ka ng mass, nagpunta ka naman. How can someone twenty-five thousand miles away have that effect on you?" That's an excellent question. And it's one that I don't have an answer for...
I can't tell you how happy I am right now. My Zen has been acting up since Saturday night and it hasn't been easy on me and on my mom since her Zen was acting up too. Although the players charge when plugged into the computer, the computer fails to detect the hardware, so we couldn't load new files into the players. (And the new Copeland album is just dying to be played through my Zen. Plus, I can't work on my knitting without my tunes and all that I want to listen to now is Copeland so. Waaah.) I had tried every trick I know to get the computer to cooperate with the Zens and vice versa, still nada. I ended up contacting Creative Labs.
I have been super worried because my Zen is almost a year old (Buyday is on January 6) and that's like ten years tech-wise. Good thing Creative is so amazing that they helped me resolve the issues via email. Yay. :) Thanks Creative Labs. I love you guys.
Archived all my fall semester materials, rearranged my closet and library today. *woot woot* And my Zen is still alive! Yay. :) In the words of U2,
"It's a beautiful day..."
While I was rearranging my books, I came across The Purpose Driven Life that my best friend gave me. I haven't read it in a long time, primarily because I have left the Christian life behind. Since I seek to rediscover the Christian faith, I thought, What the heck? and read the reading for the first day.
It was hard for me to finish reading it. At almost every line, I found myself scoffing or rolling my eyes or something to that effect. I'm partly ashamed and partly disappointed that this had been my reaction. I have been hoping for a miracle. (Just because I'm not Christian doesn't mean I don't believe in miracles.)
And it seems that it's a long, long shot.
I'm keeping the PDL by my bed and hoping that the next time I open it, my miracle would finally happen.
OMG.
OMG. Ang gwapo ni Lilo. Shet. Walang halong biro. Ang gwapo niya. What with the Macbook, the electric guitar and the rolled-up long sleeves. Shet.
Yun lang.
