Welcome Back, Coby!
A few months ago my beloved lappy Coby played dead on me. Whenever I open Coby (the name of my lappy) I just see an almost blinding white screen and nothing more. No lines, no blurred images as in zilch. So I thought it was time to say goodbye to my beloved friend. Forgive me for being an anthropomorphist. I love giving names to my things and I treat them like humans most of the time. 
One of my techno savvy friends said that more or less the problem is with the LCD and if I opt to change it I might as well buy a new one for it’s very expensive. Anyway, I was already in the process of searching for netbooks online to replace Coby when my husband Ryan offered to have it diagnosed at a computer shop first. He said if it’s really the LCD that is faulty, I have to bid farewell to my Coby. When he got home, he’s got a long face and there was sadness in his voice when he opened up my lappy and said “Baby, it’s time for you to say…Hello again to Coby! I was overjoyed! Coby is working well as ever again. It turned out that the connector on the back of the monitor was just loose. The computer technician just put a tape on the wire and Voila! Welcome back Coby!
Still Broken
If you have read my old post about our broken toilet seat and the promise that hubby made to fix it pronto then you’ll be able to relate when I tell you that it is and very much…still broken! It’s 2010 already but hubby can’t seem to keep any of his promises to fix everything that’s broken in the house. He’s a very good husband though, but he’s definitely no handyman. I’ve learned my lesson next time I’ll only trust American Standard toilets. I know that I can’t go wrong with it.
Mobile Eye
After my cousin Eddie watched a very disturbing video where a nanny abuses a two year old kid (by kicking her in the stomach and slapping her hard on the face) he now can’t stop talking about installing security cameras around his house to monitor his nanny’s behavior toward his 8-month old daughter whenever he and his wife are not around. He suddenly became paranoid and started canvassing for really good ones. In fact, I just got off the phone with him now and said that he’ll be installing the cams this coming weekend when the nanny goes out on a day-off. Can’t blame him, he’s just after the safety and welfare of his child. I will do the same if the situation calls for it. But for now, I don’t think I need it. My nanny loves our little Sophie like her own.
