Yes, I know this is the longest time I've been M.I.A (Missing In Action) as a blogger and with very good reason too. After I go through "all that" I just wanna apologize to everybody and I hope all of you got my Turkey Day text messages even though I know everyone's been busy with their respective family gatherings and early shopping binges for "Black Friday" till Sunday. Hope you enjoyed your long Turkey weekend. ( Most of us, probably gained 10 pounds in just one weekend! LOL!)
Anyway, back to the real reason why I've been away from this blog for more than 2 weeks I think... and as my post title implies, it came in three's ... Well, as most of you know, I just upgraded this desktop from Vista to Windows 7 a while back before thanksgiving came around and I as I first said from an old post, Windows 7 is way better than Vista and I still believe that to be so even though it is expected to still have a few quirks (of course, anything new, always starts with a few bugs before it gets better...)
And I thought I had found all the updated drivers I needed to run the software I used always, especially my video capture device, (my trusty drama transfer gadget thing, as my BFFs' would call it LOL!) but I was wrong... my capture device didn't work with Windows 7 at all and just when I thought I could finally finish all my catching up during the long thanksgiving weekend since my family and I didn't really have anything special planned except for a dinner at my sister's place.
So it took me days (literally) to find a very specific driver to get it working again for windows 7 (and so I didn't get to use the long weekend to do some video editing of lagged episodes on my DVR) And if that wasn't bad enough, my cable modem went a little haywire at some point (and I wish I could blame this too on Windows 7 and Bill Gates, but we all know, they're of different areas) and I found myself praying that there's nothing physically wrong with my cable modem (these things cost me money you know and replacing it now is not on my budget.) and it's just my ISP having their routine tech stuff and thank God it was just a temporary thing.
After thanksgiving my parents and I each had our own case of the colds and flu in different degrees, I had the worst case since I was the one who ached all over and practically can't get out of bed. Now I'm still recuperating but now a lot better, enough to sit here for a bit and post something after quite a while.... I ACTUALLY MISSED THIS.... it's a simple but effective way to channel my thoughts on just about anything!
EXCESS: Tagalog Dubbed Boys Over Flowers airs on the Kapamilya Channel starting December 6! And you know me, I'm watching and taping of course! Ji-Hoo, I come!!!!
