I almost died.

But then again, after contemplating my many mishaps with technology and the amount of money I've spent on it, I decided to just resign myself to Fate and drift along with the possibility that I would never ever own another technological device.

However.

Hope was my last resort. Hope spurred me to give the laptop one last shot before I call it quits. Hope led me to believe that a 2-week old laptop will *somehow* deliver its promise of excellence and be worth the moolahs. Hope then transformed into glee when voila!

The laptop breathed life and started up.

I guess it also needs a rest from the 5-6 hours it usually works, just like me.

I need a slice of chocolate fudge cake now.
