happy... shalalala...
you know i never thought a new laptop would bring so much superficial joy. :)
i just got it yesterday. dell xps m140. nothing fancy but it's enough for a college student. oh, and i had it spiced up with upgrades and so many built-in devices (thanks to my kuya's computer expertise) so it's actually quite brag-worthy.
apparently my tito got into some sort of trouble while bringing back the laptop from the states. he was asked where he was taking the laptop, and he told the dell technical support people that he was giving it as a gift to his neice in the philippines. and as soon as they heard the word "philippines", the people started saying, "oh, then, you have to fill out these forms and these precautionary documents of blah blah blah".. so my tito asked, "am i in trouble here?" and guess what the technical support staff said?
"no sir, it's just that we have a policy about bringing US technology into a terrorist country."
what the hell?
aren't we supposed to be, i dunno, allies with the states? talk about being tactless. the guy could have at least called it a "foriegn country" or something. we're not a terrorist nation. maybe we are in the list of countries with high risk of terrorism, true. but not a terrorist country.
oh well, i'm supposed to be happy anyway.
my eyebrows are finally nice and contoured so that's a good sign. :)
anybody have any suggestions on what i should add to my laptop? cool software? games? movies? music? bomb-triggering devices? :)
