blissful breaks

yeah!! another break. i like it when my colleagues march out of their cubicles hugging their laptops. wish it's a long and argumentative meeting.

...

my sister had just called to tell me that she killed our home PC. and why? because she wanted to 'upgrade' it. by installing another hardware, which is another USB port. she started unscrewing everything. and prolly along the way, she started getting impatient with all the minute screws and screws that we do not have the screwdriver for and tangly wires that she pulled at one. killed the computer, and everything else in the house. short circuit. my mom yelped somewhere in the house. (she took leave today, thus witnessing the brutal murder of our PC by my sister with its guts caught in her hands)

o well, not like i used the home PC much anyways.. cos she's perpetually hogging it. especially now that she had quitted her last job and rotting away at home. prolly inspiring to be a professional yahoo pool player.

but my files!!! my PICTURES, my precious saved files. but not like it should need reformatting.. uh, right? but i'm sure there's tonnes of wormies and whatnot swarming in that guts of a PC.

what's funny, in that phone call. was that when i asked her what was she meddling with the PC for thus causing its premature death, she said "i'm upgrading it!" so indignantly, that i just guffawed. what a cruel twist of irony. and then, she went on onto blaming the short circuit for the state of the PC now. um, knowingly that she was the one who caused the short circuit, and her own hands that pulled the fateful wire and unscrewing the bolts and everything else, so that everything comes apart. after telling her that, she couldn't help but laugh at herself.

the PC was actually upgraded a few months ago? june? july? :(
