Changing Hard Drive on My Macbook Pro

A few days ago, I replaced the hard drive of my trusty Mac Book Pro. It had been failing and warning me that I should replace the HDD asap. I wanted to have the technicians replace it, but the authorised service center is in Davao (Ifix). I could not wait any longer and did it myself. You tube was a great help. I bought a new screw driver set, the one that has torx screwdriver. Then I did it. I wanted to restore it form Time Machine but decided to have a fresh install instead. I had all my important files back anyway. So now, I am running on Mountain Lion on my MBP. I am happy with what I have done and my laptop is much faster than it was before. 

Already?

I saw a tweet by a friend today.  It reminded us that today is the last day of the month.  Oh my,  how time really flies.  It seems like it was just yesterday that we celebrated Christmas.  Tomorrow it will be February already.  A few months after that my eldest child will have finished high school and after two months she will be moving out to go to college.  I feel so old.  Bummer.

Be Thankful

I chanced upon this saying on the internet. The sign says it all. This should be flashed on the minds of those people who are down or troubled. This sign should be posted on every lowly corner, every sad place, every place where you think that life is hopeless. Let us all be thankful for those small things that are a blessing to us. Happy New Year 2012!.

Swiss Miss at 3 in the morning

I slept early. It was around just past 9 pm last night that I went to sleep. I was out with blogger friends and had 2 bottles of SanMig Lights. I was glad that for almost a week now, I was sleeping and waking up early. Unfortunately today, I woke up earlier than usual. I woke up at exactly 1 am. This happend after a deep sleep and I was dreaming. It was a very restful sleep though. Now after 2 hours of officially being awake, im having Swiss Miss hot choco. My pomeranian beside me and a hot choco. . Ahhh. . love it.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Still can't get over Steve Jobs death.

He was an Icon. A Maverick. A Rebel. A Visionary. A Tech Guru. An Innovator.

Here is one of his famous and very inspiring speech during the 2005 commencement exercise at Stanford.

Although I have heard this speech before. I kept on listening to this 15 minute speech now and it is truly inspiring.

Steve Jobs Dies at 56

It is a sad day for the tech world.

Steve Jobs dies at the age of 56.

Apple's founder will be remembered thru the tech that he created.

I always admire Steve for his charismatic personality and his visionary thinking.

My Ipad, Ipod, and Macbook Pro will forever remind me of him.

Thank you for everything Steve! You will be missed.

Today is teachers day. In my family there are a lot of teachers. My wife was a teacher for several years. My older brother is a teacher in the bible school. His wife is also a teacher in a public school. My paternal aunts and uncles were teachers. Even my aunt and younger brother were teachers (Clinical Instructors) in nursing schools.

Well, today I wish you all the best and may you be more inspired to teach others.

Happy teachers day to all of you.

I want to Run!

I wanted to run, to jog or simply walk. Not just for fun but also for my health. I have been a couch potato for so long. I used to go to the gym. I used to go biking. I used to walk for hours. Now, I just see them all in my TV. My biggest exercise is a right click and a left click. Bummer. :) Well, I hope to go back to my active lifestyle again. . . soon.
