Messed Up

A few ticks away from Halloween, my year-old laptop met its untimely demise. With no fanfare. It simply jumbled its screencolors, formed a crazy rainbow and then whizzed off to the kingdom of the dead. Any effort to resuscitate, at least from my untrained hand, proved futile.

The painful part is, it brought to its cold tomb, the myriad files I have reserved and even readied, for posts in this blog. The loss dumbfounded and startled me and I am now cracking my head for clues as to where to start.

Was the unceremonious farewell of a yet healthy and springy computer, an omen of things a-coming?

Just about two weeks from now, this blog will turn two years old. Am I being propped-up for the eventual farewell? Maybe, because sad as it may be, I do am now scribbling what could be my last post.

Last post? Why? Iinom na lang natin 'yan Parekoy. Maybe it's time for you to buy a new one.

Maalala ko pala, lapit na din berday ng blog ko. = P

totomai said...

come on man, dont "kill" this blog of yours. :-)

congrats on your new laptop by the way. it only means na more post to come and more pics to share :-)

KRIS JASPER said...

HEY! Just because your lappie broke, that doesnt mean you also have to shut down your site.

NOOOOOOOooooooooooo!!!!!!

From what you have said, it seems like only the mother board or the OS fizzled out. You can still recover your files. It's still in your hard drive and you can still access it. Go to any comp. tech you know and ask him to recover it for you. He'll know what to do.

atto aryo said...

to all of the above (he he): truth is, i've been to have the "murder" revealed on the very birthday of this blog. but the lappie pre-empted me. naging anti-climactic tuloy. :-(

pards,sa taon nagdaan marami kang napasaya at marami akong natutunan at natagpuan dito.hope na di mawala ang isa sa interesting blog nato.

Abaniko said...

I thought you were only joking when you told me you plan to stop from blogging and write about it on the 2nd anniv of your blog. Totoo pala ang plano talaga.

Sige, bet tayo. You can't abandon blogging for good. You may delete this site but after a while, I'm sure you'll create a new one to write and post pictures in. Ipusta ko pa ang Macbook ko. Hehe.

Yakang-yaka mong bumili ng laptop. Go, buy a really good one.

ScIoN said...

sus, drama! hehehe

escape said...

then it's time to buy for a newer one! yihaa!

Gina said...

NANU KA DIDA?????

Don't you dare close your blog for good!!

Balitaw, ayaw gadman. If you must take a blogging break for a while, then you should. Give it another month or so, and if you still feel like closing this site for good , then maybe, you really have lost the interest for it. (hopefully not.)

the spool artist said...

oh noo.... baka salvagable pa rin yung files mo from the hard drive... it simply is a sign... that you need to buy a macbook air! hehehe...

Nicely said...

hey! don't leave this blog just because of the loss of your lappy toppy. buy a new one... it's worth more than money. ayokong ma-miss kita.

Unknown said...

kuya reo, wag naman...huhu..

RIP na lang sa laptop mo...i'm sure mas maganda pa ang mabibili mo after that loss...

atto aryo said...

ever: interesting talaga ha? he he. salamat po sa pagtangkilik.

atto aryo said...

abaniko: i was serious when i told you about quitting, a few months back. medyo naadik na kasi ako masyado sa blogging at surfing and i guess i need to go to rehab. :-)

atto aryo said...

scion: drama ka dyan. ayusin nyo kasi laptop ko! :-(

atto aryo said...

dong: sasayaw at kakanta muna ako dito para makaipon ng pambili ng laptop. pero mukhang aabutin ako ng isang taon sa papiso-pisong abuloy, bweheheh

atto aryo said...

Gina: Baga wara na man ak creative juices! he he. Bahala na si Batman.

atto aryo said...

spool: i really wish to get the macbook air. pero di kaya ng powers ko. :-)

atto aryo said...

realscore: manabba-tabba ako dulo pammalli. :-)

Turismoboi said...

i have the same prob

Sidney said...

Good thing... you can now buy yourself a brand new notebook for your second anniversary !

Unknown said...

hehehe...sana lang talaga di to magclose... kasi sobrang sayang!

MakMak said...

Naman. :)
Don't see it as a bad omen. Think of it as a valid excuse to buy yourself a new one.

And don't kill the blog. You'll regret it. I don't mean for it to sound like a threat (thought it does haha). You know what I mean. :P

atto aryo said...

turismo: laptop problem too? nagkalat na nga yata ang virus. :-)

atto aryo said...

sidney: hmm. that's a nice idea. :-)

atto aryo said...

makmak: baka nga magpost na ako uli, if only because of your threat. bodily harm ba yun? :-)

xxxborgexxx said...

c'mon man don't make it a reason to stop writing a blog.

escape said...

hahaha... kaya yan.

Ross Delantar said...

My condolences to your old laptop...

But hey, gives you all the reason to treat yourself to a new one!

I hope you get back here soon!

carlotta1924 said...

gibbs cadiz said...

you have 33 comments on this entry. i can hardly get 5 on (what i think is) a good post over at my blog. and you're quitting blogging? susguinuu, magbakasyon ka muna--but don't you dare NOT come back. :)

atto aryo said...

borge: he he. i actually am looking for a reason that would at least sound valid. :-)

atto aryo said...

dong: sama pa rin ako pag me fotog EB dyan sa December. kahit ba feeling lang ako, he he.

atto aryo said...

bulitas said...

new laptop is the answer!
just keep blogging sir.
i have always been fascinated in japan and reading your entries makes me save money and plan my trip there someday.

as for your lost files, do you think your hd was damaged as well? if not, ou can have it checked and have your files retrieved.

all the best!

Abou said...

pahinga lang ata kailangan mo from blogging. antay ka namin

Gypsy said...

Nooooooo!! I think the numerous comments speak for themselves. We can let you pause for a moment of (blog) silence for the demise of your laptop..makiramay pa kami, but don't let your blog follow your laptop to cyberheaven!

Anonymous said...

:( we'll miss you and your stories...

atto aryo said...

bulitas: thanks! i didn't know you were reading me. he he

atto aryo said...

abou: oo nga e no? parang ikaw. medyo matagal din nagpahinga.

atto aryo said...

gypsy: am still trying to muster the energy to restart. am on rehab. he he

atto aryo said...

acey: thanks for being a constant visitor. :-)

Sprechtrel said...

That's a really sad experience to just lose a lot of stuff in an instant, not even a clue. But I myself would never give up my blog because I lost my stuff, I'd buy a new laptop. People won't like it if you just disappeared. -__-
