Aba talaga namang pag-uwi na sa Pilipinas ang inaatupag naming mag-asawa. Ngayong sobrang pagod na ko sa trabaho, yung thought na lang nang bakasyon namin ang nagpapagaan nang araw ko. Para syang “light at the end of a tunnel”.

May mental list na ko nang itinerary namin, pero may written list ako nang bibilhin at nang kakainin ko.

Wala namang order of priority pero pag naiisip ko pa lang itong mga ito e naglalaway na ko.

Nanay ko, gusto ko nang umuwi.

Bring on the buffet!

As been my practise, I switched on our home PC on Friday while having dinner. It’s my prep for use later on. When I logged in after 9pm, it was so slow. I kicked off my “trio” of protection: AVG 8, AdAware and SpyBot. It’s midnight , they were still chugging along.

Saturday morning BSD greeted me with scorn. My Windows firewall was disabled and the options to enable them are greyed out. regedit wasn’t working, I am locked out of my registry keys!!!

I pulled up my sleeves knowing I’m in for a slog, I’m infected and for the first time in sooo mmaaannyy years I have to deal with it myself. I switched off my router for fear I might catch more virus HIV.

Close to dinner time, I was near tears and I needed a shower, my hair wants a comb and I prepared DVD backups of the family pictures. I know the worse thing has happened, my beloved PC will have to be flushed.

I was thanking my lucky stars I backed up my files early this year, or was it December? I forget now, I just know I have stacks of DVD I need to find.

At the same time I was mentally kicking myself for not setting up my new external hard drive when I received it. I’ve been so tired at work, I’ve been putting off personal “work” since our Dubai holiday. I just copied my sisters’ Dubai shots from the flash drive two weekends ago!

I was copying files til midnight, burning DVDs. At the same time I was using my crackberry to find more information on Win32 Heur. The bloody thing hijacked everything and it kept on replicating itself. I scan, clean, restart and it’s there again. By 3am Sunday, I gave up the idea I was going to do this and not pay someone to reinstall my OS.

I have all the CDs but at 4am I’ve lost the will to live and I wasn’t happy anymore. I could barely see and my brain was so fuzzy I think it’s covered with molds.

The repair guy didn’t arrive until 1630hrs GMT. I have my emails imported by 7pm, AVG and spybot are back online. But that’s the most I could do. Gaadd the software I need to reinstall, the CDs I got to download! They’ll have to wait.

Then I log in here and this greeted me:

“In-depth view. Like it very much. I will follow these tips provided herein to examine its specific outcome after putting into use in real cases. Thanks from me.”

I’ve got web-rage.
