back to zero

i had to reformat my pc. it wouldn't start.

no really.

trying to get it to work was like starting a car with run-down batteries. it'd boot for two seconds then the power would just go out. as luck would have it, i just burnt bj copies of all my mp3s so a reformat wasn't out of the question [a clear example of where my priorities lie]. the only software i didn't have a backup or installer cd of were office and the os itself.

the parents were headed towards makati so my sister and i hitched a ride until glorietta. she had to find an english translation of noli me tangere so we split up. three hours later, neither of our searches proved successful, so we took a taxi to makati cinema square, where we found the cds, at least.

if anyone knows where i can get my hands on a paperback copy of leon guerrero's translation of noli [the red book that has el filibusterismo on the flipside], the tip'd be much appreciated.

anyway, we commuted back in the rain. my sister was ribbing me about leptospirosis, since i was as usual wearing sandals. the funny thing is, i'm actually running a fever.
