Houston, We Have A Problem

I think our computers last week had some sort of a conspiracy and decided to have a mutiny, because by Friday, all of them suddenly conked out on us. Seriously. The computer downstairs (the one used by my ate and my kuya) hasn't really been functioning for a couple of weeks now. My desktop was fine (save for it being on Windows 98) until it suddenly decided to stop working in the middle of the week, when I had to print some documents for school. Fine. I still had Woofy. Or so I thought. I went back from school Saturday morning thinking I could play a couple of hours of Final Fantasy VIII (yes, it's an old game, but I still like it :p), I pull out my laptop, turned it on, grabbed my mouse... to have the wire drop limply on the floor. I initially thought that I just didn't plug it in well, so I tried to put it back in, except that it couldn't. Turned out that for some weird reason, the USB slot glued itself to the mouse's cable and was pulled with it.

So there. All three computers were down by Saturday. We brought all three to the shop. Turned out that the first one was programmed all wrong (we just had it repaired last month) and my desktop had its motherboard chewed by creepy crawlies when we were still in the province (disgusting, I know). As for Woofy, I will (hopefully) be able to get him 2-3 weeks from now, because they have to bring it to the main office of Acer to have the repairs done. I'm just thankful I got my desktop back now. I probably won't be able to update this blog that much until then. I'd still be able to go online (it helps me keep whatever sanity I have left), but not as frequently as I had before.
