Gooooosefraba

Goosefraba.. What does it mean?

It is a soothing sound Eskimo mothers would whisper in order to sooth their young ones.

Have you seen the movie "Anger Management" with Jack Nickelson and Adam Sandler? There's a part there where one in the anger management class speaks the word "goose fra-ba" over and over (kind of like a zen thing) to bring him back down and calm his nerves. Well I've been doing my own version of goose fraba-ing.

So, when things go wrong as they sometimes will, when you're upset, depressed, when you figured in an untimely and unanticipated breakup, or simply feeling fear, anxiety, despair, guilt, apathy, grief, or what many people would describe as typical "sadness" or other negative emotions, try to relax, close your eyes, take a deep deep breath and while you slowly exhale, say "GOOOOOOOOOSE FRABA" Do this at least five times and feel differently.

Love is Passion

Love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? Fall head over heels. I say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because the truth is, there is no sense living your life without going thru this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived. Stay open. Who knows? Lightning could strike.

-William Parrish. Excerpt from the movie Meet Joe Black

How Could I be Computer-less?

How could i be computerless? This is a cute and hilarious music video that i've seen at youtube few days ago. With this clip, i was teasing my brother because he lent his macbook to my sister who flew to Ireland for another echelon of scholastic endeavor. The music video illustrates how the singer's life became extremely miserable being computerless.

Funny thing is, morning of 26 October 2009, i was turning my laptop on to check my emails but it did not. I ticked the power button once again... the lights merely blinked then went off again. Thinking that it was just a RAM problem, I opened the memory modules then replaced them, checked the physique of the harddisk, power supply etc. but to no avail. Being someone educated in computer hardware, i knew right away that the motherboard is the culprit. It figured in a hardware breakdown.

While feeling weakened and depressed, i ransacked my room to find and check the warranty papers provided by HP. To my surprise the warranty has expired just a month ago. I forgot to extend it to three years. Having learned a lesson from this harrowing experience, I advise you guys not to forget getting your toys extended warranty for the obvious reason that hardware failures commence to happen when gadget reaches one year or older.

When my brother arrived home from work, I welcomed him at the door by saying, "now i can join you in singing, how could i be computerless" haha. Motherboard for laptops costs an arm and a leg and it will take a minimum of two weeks to order a replacement from HP Canada where this laptop was originally purchased. Treat your laptop well especially when it is your primary tool of trade.

Self tells him that they are surrounded and to come out with Scylla or he will gas him out. “Come and get it,” Michael says.

On the rooftop Michael pulls a gun on Self and leads him into the warehouse. Gretchen walks in with her gun loaded and Sara pulls another on Self.

What's Inside your IPOD touch?

When i was a kid, i used to rip open our appliances just to know what's inside them. I get tools from the trunk of my dad's car then surreptitiously unscrew my subject appliance and rip its parts apart. I will then try to get acquainted with its internal system, do some fine tunings then test the effects. After this redundant ritual, i return the parts back together and i am always left with extra screws.

More often than not, our home appliances which were victims of my curiosity end up inoperative after a few days. But now information of all sorts are readily available in the in world wide web, i always consult the internet before i pry open my non-functional gadgets. Just remember the axiom, if ain't broke, don't fit it.

This time, let's take a crash course about how to break open your Ipod Touch without damaging its internal parts then see what's inside it. See this link.
