Must Be Trapped in the Net or Else...

I had been lazy for a few days opening this blog and thinking what to write. I got bored. Plus, I get tired always because I keep on going back to the city. And the shitty plus is that the broadband was broken and I can't open both the Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Grrrr! I felt like I'm not connected to the rest of the world those times.

I tried to find out what's wrong with both the programs. Every time I open the Firefox, it keeps telling me that "during the operation, Mozilla has crashed and needs to restart". So I kept on restarting it. Sending the error to the net (for Explorer) but to no avail. Waaaaah! What did I do next? I deleted/removed the Firefox hoping I could reinstall it. Then I checked the installer in the Program Files, and, tada! It was nowhere to be found. I panicked for awhile and felt cold. But whew! I remembered Explorer is still there.

Next step, I called the the Internet provider's office. I called the Manila Hotline and they gave me the Visayas number. OK! This could be it. In a day or two, if I get connected to the customer service, the Net would be reconnected ASAP. But darn! I called the whole day but the answers I got are Cebuano-speaking people who are also trying to call the customer service! What's happening? "Hilo? ***** ni? Gatawag man ako sa ****. Operator ini dong? "There even was one who told me she is calling from US. That time I had made a lot of "phone pals" but never reached the real customer service officer. I ended up hot headed.

I kept on checking the Net from time to time but the same thing and information keeps popping out. I did all changes in my Internet and Connection Settings, with all the fear that I will end up destroying the computer. But I'm becoming impatient. I have to check my mail! My blog! My facebook and friendster! (Wahaha!) I felt like my world stopped for five days. But on the other hand, without the Net we'll open the desktop for a few hours only and then we could save energy and our electric bill would at least moderate.

However, I began to wonder when the Yahoo Messenger began to operate and I can download from Limewire. So, I thought maybe, there was really something with both the programs. I kept online in YM and waited for somebody who knew about such things. I kept on asking these people to send me via YM an installer of both FireFox and Explorer. But still the programs they sent won't work.

After all those travails, I gave up and waited for a miracle.

After exactly a week, I tried to open again the Explorer. And wham! It opened with no sweat! Ugh! After that, I forgot all the madness and anger. I was so relieved that now, I'm back and won't be away from the world most people are enjoying. (Serious ba!)
And here am I. Alive and kicking!
