Many times in life it takes a lot of maturity to admit when you have a problem that you see within yourself. Some people drink too much, others may smoke or gamble. In my case, I'm a ho. A social media ho. Gotcha! You all thought this post was going to be about me messing with someone's man. But it isn't. And I can hear some of you sucking your teeth in disgust...so sorry to disappoint.
For the last week, I have not had the chance to blog as I have been experiencing every technical difficulty under the sun. Firstly, my computer would not turn on. The engine (if that's what it's called) was humming but nothing was happening. This has happened a few times in the past so I really wasnt panicking but when nothing happened repeatedly I knew it was trouble.
Didnt sweat it though cause I had my good old bb, but RIM decided to act de ass and so I was now batting 0 for 2. But I had another trick up my sleeve....Kiki's mini laptop. I wanted to use the wifi but for the life of me could not get it to work so one of my techie cuz's said: "Just plug the internet connection into the laptop." DUH..why didn't I think of that? As I connected the wires, I think I'd actually started to drool with excitement anticipating coasting FB, twitter and the blog. But guess what happened when I tried to connect to the net? Absolutely NOTHING.
I wanted to scream. No bb data, no computer, no mini laptop. Would that mean that I would have to actually pick up the phone and call someone? I even knocked on my neighbour's door to ask if if her wifi was password protected cause I wanted to put this ipad to use. Ballsy inna, but desperate measures called for desperate times....I forgot that my wifi wasn't working. Bought a new router but it meant nothing if I couldn't turn the computer on.
My computer cousin said she could help me but it would be on Monday. I told her I would wait but inside I was counting the days until then. That would be 5 whole days..do you know how much information I was missing? I think for a second i even contemplated suicide!
I was so desperate by now i was praying for any sign of life on my bb. Even an annoying forward that I usually cant stand.
When I got to work this morning, I kissed my computer and told her that I missed her and would never take her for granted again. And that I would treasure those eight special hours I spent with her on a daily.
Knowing that I coukd not endure another night without my social media I called upon my good friend who promised me that he would assist and at the very least could install the new router so that I could use my ipad. I was hoping he could, if not I had planned to sit outside Lemon Tree with all the Filipinos for a couple of hours, using wifi.
Well, he arrived at ten, finished by 10.40 and here I am on de ipad. Happy as hell that i am BACK. Now excuse me while I catch up with the world....
Addiction at its best you can thank Al Gore for the internet lol... well I'm just glad it's not the other ho! You are a hoot girl you should definitely sleep better tonight...
