Now here’s another one to compete with those oh! so briliant “Instant Messaging Service”, meet google talk, a light-weight, easy-to-use,free software that lets you communicate with friends through chat, email and voice.
Though it’s still under beta testing, chatters and geeks alike will surely be clamoring to try it out … and I won’t be left behind.
I bought this head unit to upgrade my aging worn out stereo that I have in my car, it’s been wasted for several years now, that it just had to die. Well it’s not really an upgrade in the purest form, you see, I got it 2nd hand from a member of a club I joined a few months back, it’s great to be part of it, I get to learn everything about cars and stuff like that, but for the most part I like the “advertising” section, where you get to find all sorts of things to customize the look and performance for your car. Back with the topic, it’s an old Pioneer cassette based head-unit that I got for P1000, everything was a-ok and I wasn’t expecting it to work as if it’s brand-new, I just wanted it to work that’s it. There was one tiny bit of a problem though, I didn’t came with an instruction manual, so I had to hire someone to junk my old stereo out of my car and replace it with this somewhat-new one.
I also bought new speakers (seps) to add more boost in line with sound enhancement in my car. It’s a blaupunkt GTc 172 speakers that I installed on each front doors and the separates (the little tiny circle thinga-magig) is situated on each of the sides of my dashboard, now this one I bought brand new. It’s been long-overdue to upgrade my sound-setup, the last as I recall was replacing my beat-old speakers with a 6x9 one (I don’t recall the brand of it though).
Everythings been taken cared-of, my car now sounds great, bass and treble didn’t sound so alluring in my ears until now. One more thing to add to it, I also bought something to attach my Nomad Jukebox onto my stereo, now I don’t have to bring those bulky tapes with me all the time, I got them albums in one comfy mp3 player.
It’s been 3 days now and I haven’t been sleeping right, I only get 3 or 4 hours of sleep max, it’s quite ironic since I’m pretty sure that most people would love to take naps especially when it’s raining all day. I don’t really know exactly what’s got into me, but I don’t like it, I’m always tired at work and I feel grumpy all the time, I get exhausted easily and it seems that it also affected my appetite.
Am I stressed out? I know there’s been a lot of things going on and a lot more things going through my head (mainly personal stuff) but I haven’t had this kind of thing before, I never had sleeping disorders as far as I can remember, though I work mostly on a graveyard shift, but that’s given, I have managed to take this kind of lifestyle with no problems whatsoever … well, until now.
I have been checking my gmail account mostly everyday now since I’ve been very eager of scooping out a new job, jobstreet’s been a big help, making it easier to sort applications out. Current employment status is no where near of being stable, so I have to keep one foot ahead so as to save my skin. Stupid of me though, I forgot to grab a copy of last sunday’s paper, I may have forgotten it because I wasn’t aware of what day it was … well, there’s always next sunday.
I’ll be back taking consultations calls this week, last week’s first-hand calls were grueling, not to mention my loser shift sched!. I’m relieved to be back on being a helpdesk personel that I am, but since there’s just gonna be a couple of us answering inquiries it’ll most likely be the same darn thing … this is starting to be preeeeeeetty unsatisfying. phooey!
Had to file a leave from work yesterday, the rain kept pouring all day up until today, it somehow gave me that eerie depressing feeling, to make words simplier, I got sick, I had to attend to medication once again. Rented several movies to keep me company while on this yet another bed-ridden phase (I don’t have cable … bite me!), a couple of new one’s, a comedy and those supposedly witty-suspense-drama-type-o-crap, nothing much to say about them films, funny thing is I keep falling asleep even before I get to disc 2 … hmmm, I guess the drugs do work.
Ever since I’ve switched my desktop from Windows XP’s luna theme for FlyakiteOSX, I keep finding myself stuck on my pc just for the fun of doing something with it, mainly staring at it. The theme is amazing, it’s got sweet icons, great shadow effects, almost an authentic OSX feel but the best part is that it doesn’t hog much system resource, it’s a great alternative for people like me who don’t get to use MAC’s all the time.
I had to give up my SuSe partition since my ever-growing files of mp3’s, mpeg’s and downloaded software keeps piling up. I haven’t had the time to burn it on a cd yet, but I will one of these days, then I can revive my linux partition; I’ll probably install Fedora back on it, since I know more of it’s tweaks and tricks, maybe if I get a 200 GB drive then I’d install SuSe too, but for now, I’ll make do of what I have.
Attrition here and there, a week won’t pass without somebody getting booted out of employment, too bad to those who’ve worked their asses off, their the first to go, quite ironic isn’t it. Well, if your working in a million-dollar-corporate-whore-house like I do, I guess it isn’t that surprising, at some point you’d encounter supervisors who tends to favor closely-knit co-workers, who don’t even have the capacity to do their work from being shoved to unemployment limbo, rather than saving the ones who are worth saving … this is what’s happening in the account that I’m currently employed in, I’m somewhat affected by it though not directly.
It’s saddening really, to see this gargantuous of an account to ever slip-up, just because of 2 numbskull-bimbos taking over management, don’t get me wrong, I don’t freakin’ care who or what gender is running the account, heck, the whole country’s governed by a female and I don’t mind and I don’t give a shit, just as long as the people who are trying to make this shit-hole, un-crappier every minute get what they deserve. The situation’s just too darn depressing, it’s clouding positive vibe in the whole account, ever since the new management came into the picture, everything seems gray and all these maggots started crawling in (mga bwaka-ng-inang sipsip!!).
I believe it’s gonna be another hellish day, work hasn’t been really that productive recently, it’s starting to be depressing at times. It’s most evident just by looking through the faces of each employee, everyone’s in a bunker. There’s nothing much to complain about, thinking about the company’s status, you just gotta have to make-ends-meet, it’s a cycle, that’s just what it is.
In other things that I’m very much enthusiastic about, I’m beggining to see myself as a “car-buff”, I hate to say it but I am, it’s always in my head, mods, engine upgrades, aesthethics, sound setup … just the thought of it having ‘em on my car gives me a creepy feeling, then again as I’ve mentioned it’s a cycle, how do I attain all of these when my livelihood’s in a dump … just gotta make-ends-meet i guess.
3 months and almost 3 more weeks, I thought I’ve finally ended this non-sense, noting my life in the most inexplicit of ways. Minding too much on whoever gets to read through it, I could never truly let myself say what I wanted to say. I was trying to let it flow, to break through the boundaries I’ve put unto myself, until I could no longer stand it and had to give in.
Now, I’m feeling almost free from all of those things that bonded me, I know there’s still a long way to go but I know I’ll get there … hopefully, I get there.
