independence day

Last week was a series of resets and deletions in my life. I woke up and found out that my nano's forward button isn't working, I tried a reset but it wouldn't respond. So I decided to bring it to the Apple Center for repair or replacement. The attendant took one look then erased everything! In 5 seconds my 2 gb worth of songs, photos, ebooks, and contacts were all gone! I walked out in a state of shock. She should have told me first that all i needed to do was reformat the drive and update the software to fix the problem, I could have done that myself and backup my songs too. what great customer service! She should be hit by a meteor rock from outer space (so Smallville!).

When I arrived home, I took out my Clie from the drawer, intending to update my expenses but lo and behold! It wouldn't turned on! What is happening to my gadgets?! Turned out the battery went empty and all my data got wiped clean. Boohoo!

I guess this day is teaching me some hard realities about stuff. Sometimes things just disappear without warning, and you can never be fully prepared for that, but you have to accept it. You can't just stay stuck in the I'm - so - shocked - I - can't - believe - this - is - happening - to - me - What - have - I - done - to - deserve - this state. Sooner or later you will have to pick up the pieces and rebuild what can still be fixed. Of course, we shouldn't forget the lessons, that's the best part about making mistakes, we learn how to prevent making the same ones again.

As for me, I'll move on, tomorrow I'll take out all my CDs again and rip all the songs back to my ipod, then I'll reinstall all the PDA apps that I need, and this time I won't forget to charge everyday.
