Have you ever felt that you just have to have that haircut today, no matter what happens, you don’t care about the look (though you have a vague idea on what you really want). And so you go out, get to the nearest salon and demand from the staff that you want a haircut and you want it now.

That’s what I did and look what happened.

I now resemble Willy Wonka, the difference is that he looks better than me. And mine’s flatter. And he looks like he’s a serial murderer who will eat Charlie once his grandpa looks away.

Since I got home, I’ve been pestering my family members on whether it really suits me or not. My brothers and sisters all told me that it doesn’t look good while my parents, being the loving and supportive parents that they are, told me that it looks good on me and it’s nice to see me having a short hair again.

I miss my long hair now. So that’s one death.

June 20, the pink mac that was assigned to me died. It just won’t open. I waited for hours and hours but it still won’t open. I used the desktop and logged in to the office mail and told Raymond that the mac won’t start. We couldn’t find a solution. The next day I went to Power Mac Center in Trinoma and nothing was done, I just got a backup of the files that I think is important that time which is not that much.

Monday came and Luis and I went to the office to resurrect the pink mac but it just vomits the Leopard installer, so it remained dead. He told me to bring to the Power Mac Center in Greenbelt and in the meantime, he let me use his MacBook Pro so I could close some bugs. I would’ve brought the pink mac in PMC in Greenbelt that day but I haven’t had enough sleep since Friday because:

• I was worried that the mac won’t be resurrected
• Typhoon Frank + Brownout = Need I say more?

So Tuesday morning, I woke up earlier than usual and brought the pink mac hoping that something can still be done. After an hour (or so) the tech guy went out of the room and gave the pink mac back to me alive and well! Yay!

I had to say goodbye to him though because he’s overheating now and so Luis gave me a new white (currently dirty white) MacBook which is faster (it loads up Parallels in a flash, it’s amazing), has more storage space and is cleaner (for now) but somehow I still miss the pink MacBook. Right now, he’s sitting beside the Windows machine. What lonely life he has now. :(

Amidst all these, I realized how dependent I’ve been to the macbook about everything. I never memorized my usernames and passwords, all the conversations are in Adium (why can’t Yahoo! save the chat conversations just like in GMail?!), the FTP accounts I need are in Cyberduck. But, well, that’s that and we can’t do anything about it now, can we? So I just promised myself that I will never let that happen again. I promise to take a very good care of you now, The Mac II. :)
