Back from computer hell

Posted by nina under Geek stuff, Word Vomit

Ugh, that’s one trip I don’t want to go through again. I’ve been with my beloved computer, an IBM Netvista since 2002. It’s been good to me throughout the years, but last Saturday, something overloaded my AVR, busting its fuse.

Three AVRs and 5 busted fuses later, I thought I finally figured out the problem. Unfortunately, I was wrong and blew another AVR fuse AND zapped my computer’s power supply. It wasn’t the end of the world, I was told. Just buy and replace the power supply.

So that’s what I did Monday morning. Naturally, I ended up with a standard-sized power supply that was too big for my CPU tower. *insert smiley banging head on wall here*

Luckily, my brother left his computer here when he migrated. I don’t really like using his computer, but I guess I can learn to like it. Not that I have any choice bah

Anyway, I have several posts lined up for this month. Among them:

  • How do you pack?
  • How to apply for an Australian Tourist Visa
  • Review: Alona Tropical
  • Review: Islander Backpacker Hotel
  • Review: Canon Ixus 75

Anything you want me to write about?

Nina Fuentes | Lovin' ManilaNina, going through quarterlife crisis, decided to stop talking about traveling and actually start traveling. Starting with a solo weekend trip to Cebu to a backpacking trip in Thailand and Singapore, she finally made it out of Asia and into Australia. After spending close to six months down under, she's happily settled in Manila (for now), intent to explore the best things the Philippines has to offer.
