give thanks

and my war with technology wages on... haha. my macbook crashed some time ago, and because i didn't backup anything, i lost everything. but it's really not hard to "give thanks in all circumstances" (1 Thessalonians 5:18).

1) at least school is over. so this is not a disaster.

2) i learnt how to go down to the apple store on my own THREE times. i think in the past i'd have just asked my brothers to help me. it was like entering foreign territory. i went to the info counter when the repair counter was so obviously behind me. but anyway, the people there are really nice and helpful and they didn't laugh at me.

3) i have applecare :) so no damage to the wallet.

4) i can install the trial version of photoshop again. haha. and just when the one in my brother's computer expired! i'm so glad i get to use it again coz i need it for some work.

5) with the new hard disk, it's like starting anew, and i'm more careful with the things i install (though contrary to what my brother thinks, i did not install any nonsense things previously!! =P). and like the apple lady says, maybe my macbook will become faster. yay!

6) i give thanks that i am able to give thanks. it's a much better than getting depressed and bitter about it :P
