Busy Week

Busy week in San Francisco...

Or maybe it's just me...

I was able to hook my Broken laptop to the HDTV and now I'm busy backing up files.
It was pretty cool actually, having the tv as the monitor.

watching it through the HDTV
GREAT QUALITY!

At the same time from backing up files, I'm organizing my songs in iTunes because some songs didn't have titles on them (using my new laptop ofcourse). I use this cool apple application, "Sound hound" that gives you song details. All you have to do is play the music and it tells you all the details about it. Cool huh? You can even just sing or hum a song. Perfect if you have a tune stuck in your head and you dont know the title.

Anyway so I'm updating my songs... ONE BY ONE.

And categorizing them by year the song was released.

Talk about OCD

So that's my busy week :)

Dear Universe,

I can't believe this.

As I posted a month ago, my laptop crashed on me.

I had my old laptop diagnosed. I was first charged with a 20 dollar fee, but I was only able to give $15 because I didn't have enough cash. Since he was a Filipino, he was kind enough to say that $15 was enough down payment.

When they called me up they told me that it will cost around $200 plus to have my laptop fixed (My laptop already had LCD issues prior to everything) Almost a price of a new laptop right?? But what I'm just concerned is getting my files.

I said, no thanks.. it's too expensive.

Felt bad I even had it diagnosed and I feel that I was ripped off with the "diagnostic" fee.

When the boyfriend returned the laptop to me, I got surprised (more than a gasp!) that my laptop turned on!!

OH EM GEE RIGHT ?? lol ... I was able to see a glimpsed of the bios fingerprint password despite the broken LCD and I was lucky enough to get in! At most time it would usually take more than one trial before my laptop accepts my fingerprint.

What surprises me even more is that I was able to turn on my laptop even without the AC adapter...
It means my battery is still working! ... Lol..

It's my lucky day I guess...

My laptop's LCD is still broken and I can barely see anything, but at least I can turn it on already!

All I have to do now is look for a cord to project my laptop to the HDTV and I can temporarily browse my laptop's files with it.

Thank you universe.. for the wonderful surprise!

I guess the people at the IT shop didn't bother to check my laptop again... or maybe they fixed it for me already? .. I don't know.. the guy pretty much said that there was a "circuit" problem with my laptop that's why it wouldn't open.

Oh well... :)
