I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's officially the first day of my three-week long semestral break. yippee!

i've never actually had a long break like this, since usually in high school we've only got 10 days for a rest period. this is gonna be cool... (to jumpstart, i just went malling yesterday with lovely..) :)

forget about the grades, dude. i almost had a nervous breakdown when i *thought* this PC's hard disk's gonna CRASH again. (it explains why i didn't post yesterday.) it was so real since the symptoms have happened before (last year?):

i open the switches (voltage, adaptor, CPU) in the usual manner. then the CPU gives off sounds (kinda like a tooooot--pause--tooooot sound... oh please, it's not funny! ;|) and the screen doesn't flash anything. i reopened the computer around five times, to no effect... still that shrieking sound. augggh. i then pulled the plug of the whole PC connection (the main socket), left it like that overnight, and started right up in the morning, NORMAL as ever. whew.

since last night, i was so f*n worried about the files i've stored, and most especially i'm definitely gonna be killed by my folks if i told them that. (just when i had a winding sermon about my 6-hour PC marathon because of the bio paper last week). the last repair was august 2004, and 2 times before that. grrr.... i'm so thankful that it was a false alarm... if it really was one.

so i've been careful enough for computer management. i can't afford any troublesome crashes anymore. i've just deleted all the unnecessary files in my computer, saved the others in the disk, erased all the temporary internet content (in case it was a virus or a memory storage malfunction) ... i'll probably limit my PC usage to 2-3 hours daily. oh i hope the worst won't happen again... can't afford any bad news.

has anyone experienced this before?
