Life's short and boring...

Yeah, it's been a while since I've been on.
I've been busy...

GAHHHH!!! I hate myself right now!
No, I'm not being emo about my art again. This is about my inability to live in the house without my parents. I can't do anything on my own. I hardly make enough money to buy food and I don't know how to pay bills. It's only for one month, yet I feel so useless.

Asides from me hating myself, I severely loathe my roommate possibly for all of eternity!!! My roommate has been spreading some BS about me and Miki being mean and making them cry all the time. My roommate also said that Miki and I do "nothing" at work and take all the salaries away. All of these LIES are spreading like wildfire throughout the members of my clan. So at this point, all our relatives hate me and Miki for being so cruel and inhumane. WHATEVER!!!!! When have I ever mistreated my roommate?! I always let my roommate get away with eating my cheeseburgers and I never yell back. This isn't fair!!!!!! They haven't even heard our side of this twisted story! What's making me super mad is that all of my relatives, including the 200-something cousins hate us!

My roommate is really messed up, example: my roommate is one of those people who acts nice and well mannered in front of respected people, like elders or my parents, but when no ones around, the lying booze drinking flirting life destroying demon is unleashed. Because my roommate maintains an innocent cover, people would take my roommate's words over mine. I already have a bad reputation in the eyes of my clan, because of my anger issues and violent outbreaks, but everyone knows I'm gentle by nature. No matter how much I plea, they prefer to listen to the wolf in the sheep disguise rather than the actual sheep.

A few of my friends heard about the rumors too. Of course my friends are angry, they know everything is a lie. One of my friends said, "if your roommate wants to spread horrible lies and think she can get away with it, then she doesn't deserve to stay here and should go back overseas." True, if my roommate wants to start something with the people (me and Miki) who own the house, what's the point? Are they asking to be kicked out?! Everyone knows that I would never inflict emotional harm on anyone (unless they deserve it). Everybody also knows that I work my butt off at the restaurant and split the salaries accordingly.

We've been nothing but nice and now my roommate starts this crap!
Purposely spreading antagonizing lies is crazy!
This means war!!!!
You do not mess with the Lalam sisters!!!
We've chased tenants out before and we can do it again.

I've been so busy this month.
I've been working on a personal project, working on myself, working at work, working on my Japan schedule and working on skating techniques. My journals have been unusually short because of it. Part of the lost time is from me playing video games all day just because I now have time for that.

Is it super lame of me to be playing a "Bakugan" game on my DS? Because I've been really bored too. My status bar says I've finished 64% of the game. the game is very repetitive. I got a little bored and got Ragnarok online for my DS. I've always played the online version of it. My "gunslinger," Ueda, is already at level 99 and I have the best weapon too. I like the DS one because I don't need to talk to other people. The other players are nice, but sometimes I run into jackasses every once and a while.

Was it weird of me to name my "archer" character "Shuta?"

The one with the red hair is Shuta.
For those familiar with Ragnarok, I've already got him up to "hunter" class. But I was thinking... wouldn't it be be cool if I named my arrow shooter Shuta? If I made a knight character, I probably would've named him something silly, like "Sir Scaredalot." As far as rpgs go, I'm well known for my hit and run style... It's mostly a lot of running.
My custom screen validates my character's name.

You can see the name in the upper-left corner. You can tell that I was pretty bored. I'm currently 17% through the game. Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures. I snapped some shots on my DS with my phone. I've been spending my freetime training Shuta, basically...

I wasn't even supposed to go to work today. Monday isn't my shift, it's my day off. My roommate was already there, there was no point for me to even go. They had all the help they needed!!! But NO!!! They still insisted that I go over there too. I was really mad, I didn't need to be there! I ended up going to work today, but I didn't enjoy it. I just sat and played Ragnarok on my DS. I refused to work today. I answered a few phone calls, but that was the extent of my services because everyone else there had no right to force me out to Batavia to work on a day I don't work on. I just sat and stared at customers that walked in and scanned the room, looking for a waitress to seat them. When customers signaled for help or their bill, I just ignored them, because I'm just a cashier, I don't do tables. I was informed that my task for the day was ONLY cashier. Other tasks are optional, but I was pissed and didn't feel like doing anything.

Also, the head chef was fed up with my immaturity and hit me. Literally HIT ME! It wasn't the usual nudge, it was a full on punch that left a bruise. I SAID THAT I WASN'T GOING TO WORK BECAUSE IT'S NOT MY SHIFT, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO HIT ME!!!!!!!!!!! I can hardly move my arm, it's bruised up really bad. It hurt so much. I stood at the cash register crying. I cried for half the day. Customers walking in had very confused looks when they saw me crying. I cry looking down, so it was difficult to tell I was crying. I did not deserve to get beaten up in the kitchen when I didn't belong there today in the first place. SERIOUSLY!!!! WHAT IS THE HEAD CHEF'S PROBLEM?! WHY DID YOU NEED TO BEAT ME UP IN FRONT OF EVERYONE?! I WOULD'VE PREFERRED SCOLDING!

I'm sort of still mad, I'll recover.
I'm off to sleep....
until next time, bye again.

Yeah...
I was going to post yesterday, but...
didn't because of a "Bloody Monday" related issue...

Bloody Monday had me on the edge of my seat!!!! It was getting really intense as the season is about to come to an end. There are 9 episodes in season 2, I'm on episode 8. There was this tease that was totally bothering me; the scene where Falcon and his nemesis Hornet are in the interrogation room.

Falcon: tell me who's in charge of the Marksmen or else...
Hornet: or else what? you don't scare me!
Falcon: hehehe, or else I'll make you into a worldwide internet fugitive.
Hornet: say what???
Falcon: I'll release all of your personal information, so no matter where you are on the net, I WILL FIND YOU!
Hornet: you wouldn't, you couldn't...
Falcon: *detonates software timer* you have 30 seconds to tell me, before I ruin your life.
Hornet: NO! STOP IT ! STOP IT NOW! NOOOO!!! *screams in pain*
Falcon: I'll make sure the world knows your identity...
(29 seconds later)
Hornet: SPIDER!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry sensei...
Falcon: *stops timer*Spider??? hey! who's Spider, tell me!!!
Hornet: Spider... I've never seen them... But Spider... is someone close to you.
Falcon: huh?
Hornet: Spider has been watching you for a long time...
Falcon: who...
Hornet: whether or not, if you figure out who Spider is, you can't beat Spider...
 YOU CAN'T BEAT SPIDER!!!!!! Muahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
Falcon: YOU SON OF A.. *starts pulling Hornet's hair*

That was slightly paraphrased, but you get the idea. Who could possibly be (the new hacker)Spider??? Someone close???
Could it be "J," nah, he's strapped to a bed for the whole show.

He's only suspicious, because he's the bad guy from 1st season.

Maybe it's Otoya, Fujimaru's(Falcon's) best friend?

Oh, that would be so screwed up if his best friend were out to blow up Japan via hacking.

Could it be Agent Minami?

Emotionless, but follows orders. A loyal Third-i agent, there have been a lot of traitors recently.

Or maybe it's former Third-i commander Kano?

Why does this man always look mad? No matter the struggle, he always protects Falcon with his life.

Falcon and the rest of third eye better figure out who Spider is! The suspense is killing me!!! I WANT TO KNOW WHO SPIDER IS!!! NONE OF THE PEOPLE I LISTED EVEN HAVE MOTIVES TO BLOW UP JAPAN!!! Except for "J" who really does want to blow up Japan with that crazy sister of his. I totally missed out on season one, because...
I HAD NO IDEA "J" AND OTOYA WERE RELATED!!! "J" AND OTOYA ARE BROTHERS?!

Fujimaru's(Falcon's) best friend(Otoya) is the brother of a psychopath who wants to nuke Japan?! But apparently, no one in the show seems to care about that situation anymore.

Here's my insane living nightmare...
WHY TODAY?!
My roommate broke the credit card machine...
MY ROOMMATE BROKE THE CREDIT CARD MACHINE!!!!
We REALLY need the credit card machine for sales! And my roommate breaks it in one go... I have no idea how I put up with my annoying roommate's clumsiness/insanity... I just do!

Anyways... because of the little accident... we had to tell every customer that walked in that it was cash only! Only until we fixed the machine. we couldn't scan any cards at all!!! Then someone suggest to do it the old fashioned way and write everything down. So I MANUALLY wrote down all the credit cards that would be processed eventually. Today was hell!!!!!!! All because of my roommate!!!!! Writing the slips manually takes much longer than an electronic swipe... everything was slowed down at the restaurant. Because I was backed up with writing information for the fools who wanted to desperately pay with credit cards because they don't have $15 in their pockets, I wasn't able to help with the various random food tasks I usually do from the freetime of my fast UNINTERRUPTED non writing cashier job. Thus everything was slowed down!

As if my day couldn't have gotten worse... THE SPY shows up! It was an employee from the competitor's place. They came in and ordered food. My sister and I were eying the spy suspiciously... We were thinking "what are THEY doing here?" We knew their identity. We told the other employees... and all of a sudden, everyone wanted t talk to the spy. I didn't hear everything but I heard enough!!! I heard one of the employees bragging to the spy that our place ranked no. 8 in Fox Valley's top 10 restaurants. My sister and I were whispering to ourselves, "don't provoke the enemy!!!!!!!" YOU IDIOT, you're adding fuel to the fire!!! Now they'll never leave us alone!!!

I'm mad about several things today...
1) I really wanna know who Spider is
2) My roommate broke the cred machine
3) The spy had the guts to eat at my restaurant
4) My dumb employees provoked the enemy by bragging about our merits and how much better we are than them(which we are)

Until next time, bye again!

Today was such a nice day.
Ex stopped by early this morning to prepare for ice skating. After Ex was all set, we went to go pick up my friend Marvin. We got a little lost because we accidentally missed the exit for Marvin's house. Marvin isn't much of a morning person, but I managed to get him up early to go ice skating with me. That's an achievement, right? Talking to Marvin brought back some high school memories, it was fun.

We drove off to Skatium after picking Marvin up, surprisingly... Skatium is somewhat nearby Marvin's house. We arrived, I scanned in, everyone else paid for rentals and admission. Ex got himself a pair of figure skates, as he usually does and I convinced Marvin to get a pair of hockey skates. When we got onto the ice... I taught Ex how to skate prior to this, so he's fine, but Marvin... was a little off balance and was adjusting himself for the first half hour, not bad though... I think he did well for a beginner. It probably would've been a lot easier if it wasn't spring break and there weren't any children around, because today the ice was horribly scratched up from too many people.

After a short period of time, Marvin was able to skate faster than me, "nice job Marvin!" Then he figured out how to maneuver in a controlled manner. I tried teaching Marvin how to break... but that didn't work out. Marvin's first time ice skating and he only fell twice!!!  We had a few awkward moments...like, I would crash into Marvin or he would catch me and save me from disgracefully face-planting. Or I would almost crash into Marvin but make a sudden stop two inches in front of him, then we stood in awkward silence... I don't know, I feel safer when Marvin's around. I have the best friends in the world!!!

Speaking of friends... there are some whom I know personally, but wouldn't call them friends. Like Mike for example... In the world of ice skating, advanced brake spraying is the biggest insult, especially when you spray another skater. Mike sprayed me twice today! I wasn't happy with that at all. I was with my friends!!! Show some decency Mike! Getting sprayed in front of your friends is embarrassing, it shows lack of respect in the sport and it also changes how your friends view you. Because I wasn't thrilled about getting sprayed, I did some carving to produce some shaved ice. I gathered up that "snow" and made a lightly packed snowball. When Mike skated by, I pelted him with my one snowball. SKATER LAW #12: After being hit by a snowball, it is in your rights to use any snow remainders on you and whip those remains back at the original thrower.

So Mike took the snow that still clung onto his shirt and started packing it until it turned into a tight chunk of ice. Because I couldn't get away, Mike whipped that piece of ice at me at about triple the strength of how hard I threw it. THAT REALLY HURT!!! Mike threw it at my arm! I didn't even throw my snowball that hard. I checked out where he hit me.... MIKE BRUISED ME!!!!! I am soooo mad at Mike right now. It hurt so much... and Marvin wasn't exactly too happy to hear that Mike actually bruised me. After that, Marvin challenged Mike to a race! That was an unfair race... Mike is the second fastest at the rink, even I knew that a newbie like Marvin stood no chance against a skilled person like Mike. It's okay Marvin, you're still an awesome skater to me, even if you skate slow.

After a long morning of torturous skating, we then drove to "Village Creamery." It's a really cool ice cream place that has a little more than your standard flavors of ice cream. They have corn ice cream and cheese ice cream and many other random flavors. Marvin said it had been a long time since he visited Village Creamery. Marvin ended up buying a chocolate bubble tea, Ex bought two scoops of different flavors I just can't remember which ones, my roommate got a scoop of corn ice cream, Miki got a scoop of guava ice cream, and I got two scoops of ube(purple yam) ice cream. It was so yummy!!!! Ice cream made out of purple yams.... DELICIOUS!!!!!!

After that eventful morning, I rested a bit, ate dinner.... and watched "America's Best Dance Crew." I am so in love with team "Quest Crew's" dancing skills. They are so awesome and their style is insane!!!! They are beyond the dancing level of greatness, team Quest Crew has what it takes to win this competition. And I'm not rooting for them just because they're Asian, I cheer for them because THEY ARE RAW!!!!!!!!!!!! Team Quest Crew has got some mad skills!!!!!!!!

Well... how do I put this...
I don't want to call people silly, because that just sounds too playful. I can't use idiot either, because that sounds too harsh. So... fool sounds pretty much in the middle.

This morning... I nearly woke up late for work, but I still got there on time. We opened up at the usual time, 11:00pm. My dad dropped us off at the restaurant and he drove off without his phone to the laundromat. My roommate arrived in Geneva(next town over) this morning by train. Since my dad forgot his phone, we had no way of getting in touch with him. So... everyone made me walk to Walgreens and the laundromat. I walked past Folto's place, he saw me walking and waved to me. Then I made my way across the bridge and I went into the Walgreens. I looked up and down every aisle. I didn't see my dad anywhere.

As I walked out of the Walgreens, I saw my dad's car driving off into another section of the parking lot. Apparently, my dad didn't see me, so he kept driving... I immediately ran after the car to get his attention. Its a good thing I can run15mph and maintain that speed. You know those scenes in dramas where the main character will dramatically leave a town forever by bus, and the other lead character finds out and is chasing the bus down the street, running side by side with the bus, flailing their arms around and screaming like an idiot, while the person on the bus still fails to notice... Yeah... that is exactly what happened when I was chasing my dad's car. I was running parallel with the window and he still didn't notice ME the crazy person who happens to be running at the speed of the car. The only exception with me, is that I yell louder than 100 decibels, so he heard me yell and pulled over... now realizing what he's done. Ohhh... I was running for a good 80 feet.

After we picked up my roommate and arrived at the restaurant there were some customers that walked in. My roommate asked them how many people were in their party. My roommate(who is in America to learn English) tells me that they have one child and a dog... Then I was like, wait.... a dog??? I walked over to the customer and asked to clarify things. Oh okay... they said they have three ADULTS!!! NOT A DOG!!! Stupid roommate. How do you get "ADULT" and "A DOG" confused with each other?! Mommy I think my roommate is broken, can we return it?! This sounds mean, but believe me on this, no sane human will be able to put up with my roommate.

Today, there was a carry-out order with 5 sesame chickens and several other things. I was almost done packing up everything else and my dad was helping me pack the remainders. When there are big orders, we label the boxes so customers know whats what, its easier for people who order for a large group so they can distribute food faster. I labeled everything normally and all that was left was the sesame chicken. I was off doing something else and my dad was labeling the boxes that had sesame chicken. After I finished up, I was reading what he wrote on the boxes.

Me: *reading* SA-SHI-MI.... WAIT A MINUTE!!!! SASHIMI???
Dad: What's wrong?
Me: Daddy, how do you spell sesame?
Dad: s-a-s-h-i-m-i, *happily* sashimi!
Me: No! You can't write that...
Dad: But why???
Me: That's raw fish!
Dad: Oh... your mom sells raw fish now?
Me: GAHHHHHH!!! Noooooo... I give up, just give it to the customer...

Later that day, we got a carry-out order from Mr. Foltos. He said he felt like ordering because I walked past his shop... He always orders something whenever I walk past his shop/hair place, he usually gives us free hair products. He's a strange old man, but everyone in Batavia loves him.

I while working phone orders, I received a strange phonecall. The customer asked for the name of the restaurant across the street from us... They called with the intention of not ordering....... I told them the name of the place, "Fox's on the River". The customer then told me that they used that name and 411 couldn't find it. So then I suggested to read off the phone number from Fox's entrance, which is very visible from my restaurant's window. I read them the number and told them goodbye. That's something a good citizen would do... right? Help out townspeople...

Then I got this other phonecall, I answered to this "Hello? Oh hi Miki, are you Miki, this is Miki isn't it, how are you Miki." I quickly replied with "No, no, no, I'm not MIKI!!! This is Tessie, I'm Miki's sister, TESSIE!" Then the lady on the phone said, "oh you two sound the same, I can't tell the difference." I said, "Yah yah! I know. We sound the same! What did you want to order?" I kind of don't like it when people get me confused with my sister. But Miki uses that to her advantage and makes me talk to people for her...

Besides my insane day...
I continued working on my Shinjiro sketch. Last time I only finished his hand, but this time I finished drawing his body. All I have left is to draw his face and hair. Faces are difficult... so I saved it for last, which is the opposite of what I normally do. I wanted to do the face last so I wouldn't have to worry about the other details. Right now... I'm struggling on Shinjiro's neck, my pencil marks are too heavy!!! HAHAHA!!! I gave Shinjiro some scars!!! I'm kidding, collarbone contours are really hard to do and take a lot of time and erasing. Looks like I'll be spending a lot of time with Shinjiro's neck... why does that sound so wrong... Oh man, now I'm imagining drawing Naoya, his shirt is fully open! Grr.. more collarbone and chest contouring, Naoya is just torturing me. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO WEAR YOUR SMEXY SHIRT LIKE THAT NAOYA?! IT'S TOUGH TO DRAW!!! It's a good thing Naoya's last on my drawing list, since he has the most detail. I should try to finish up Shinjiro on Saturday if I can, if not... there's always Sunday, my half-day.

Today when customers were walking past me, they saw me drawing and they really liked the detail. They told me, "Oh wow, that's really well done! You're talented, are you majoring in art? And can I glue my face onto that?" Apparently, all of the customers liked the way I drew Shinjiro's body. I put so much detail into every crease in Shinjiro's shirt. I was remembering those words that my art professor told me years ago. "Solid lines do not exist! All edges are created from contrast and concentrated cross-hatching!" I can't help it if I'm heavy handed when I draw. For visual reference, I'm drawing the picture from Shinjiro's Breakdown photoshoot.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My sister has returned from her cooking tournament!!!!!!!!
2nd place desserts
3rd place in main dishes
CONGRATULATIONS MIKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOORAY FOR YOUR VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!

And she brought back souvenirs for me..
ooooooh........
I can't wait to actually see her tomorrow!!!

Until next time, ~good night!!!

I know I was going to write about the circus, but...
*sigh*
I got into a wild argument with the Yesasia customer service hotline.
Yesasia keeps canceling my orders and refuses to process my order for the AAA 4th Anniversary Concert DVD. They would charge me, take my money, then give it back, and not give me a notification.

Keep in mind that I am remaining calm the whole time.
They answered with the stupid reply of "there's something wrong with the billing and shipping address, deal with it!"

"Okay lady, well I paid with the same debit card on a different site and my payment was processed just fine."

Then customer service said (she started using a tone), "well... it's probably your bank's fault, we will not process orders with bank errors and I see that you have placed a second order after we canceled your previous order, our systems will automatically reject the orders when you do that."

"So both my orders are now canceled and there's nothing I can do about it?"

"That is correct... no matter what account you try to order from, we will not ship to your address because of complications"

"Okay then, thank you."
Then I hear the phone being slammed really hard from the other end, she must have been real eager to hang up on me. What is wrong with Yesasia customer service? I call to nicely ask why my orders were canceled and to ask for solutions... and they threaten to not even ship to my address because of complications?! What is going on?! I've ordered from them countless of times and it has gone well. Great... now I'm crying...
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD?!
I'm off to my angsting corner...

This morning, I went off to my 1:40 math class 75].-[A  ~Q49i,8lo94q  4=0\///////

Ugh... sorry about that, I suddenly had an acid reflex attack out of nowhere... it was gross, but I won't delete the typing error for humor purposes. A tall glass of milk is a life saver in this situation.

Continuing with my school day... I got to my Math/logic class and Professor DeLong walked in and told the class, "I'm very disappointed in your test results from Tuesday, I did not grade them yet, but I flipped through them and noticed mistakes on a majority of them, so in this event, we will not be moving on to the next chapter, but instead, all of you will review all sections of the previous chapters, here are your following in-class assignments, you all have 1 hour and 30 minutes to complete them, 3.1: 1-79, 3.2: 21-98, 3.3: 10-114, start now, there will be no breaks."

And I thought Professor McCoy(head of the math department, an evil man famous for his 'high student failure rate' out of 50 students 5 actually passed, shockingly I was among the lucky 5 people) was tough. I knew that I passed the test, IT WAS MULTIPLE CHOICE!!!  Yet why am I being punished along with my classmates?! I have never failed or done poorly on math test in my life, that much I can vouch for, but I had to re-review everything I already knew?! The entire chapter is on truth tables and statement negations(making things opposite).

Here's a example of a negation,
Negate (reverse the meaning of) the following statement:
"Epik_noodles has a livejournal account."

ANSWER: "Epik_noodles does not have a livejournal account."

80% of the test was filled with statements and the rest were true/false questions, apparently most of my classmates couldn't figure out how simple the test was. Resulting in the who class getting bombarded with "punishment work."

WHY MUST THE PEOPLE WHO PASSED THE TEST SUFFER?!?!?!!?!
That there was my horrible day....

Oh yeah, before I conclude, I got a hold of "Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge" also known as "Wallflower" to you manga buffs. This is the Drama version, the main actors include Kame, Tegoshi, and Uchi. Shockingly, I'm not a Kame fan, as most people would assume, so I don't care for Kame or Uchi. Tegoshi is awesome, his roles are usually either as a badass (remember him in Gachibaka! ?) or a defenseless brat. The only downside is that Tegoshi stole my nickname, I had it longer than you dude. I haven't started watching it yet because I need to wait for my sister, Miki will kill me if I watch without her, speaking of watching dramas, I heard "Bloody Monday: Season2" is out!!! Yay Haruma Miura, *drool...* anyways...we're all set with that too, and tonight I'm watching the final episode of "Liar Game: Season2", you'd better annihilate everyone, "Matsuda Shota!" Sadly, the final episode does not conclude the series(damn those production fools), but there will be a Liar Game Movie released to wrap up the series once and for all.

Until next time, bye....
*slowly walking to my 'angsting' corner*

The house is so quiet when Miki isn't here, I'm so lonely.
Hey Miki! You better pulverize everyone in the ice sculpting round!!! GOOD LUCK!

Today my parents want me to go shopping with them, so I left the house for a little while.
We went to Best Buy to get some usb phone jacks for free phone calls. While we were there I spotted a nice wireless router. I pulled off the puppy eyes, I'm the youngest in my family's generation, so I'm super spoiled... 3 minutes later my parents are at the payment counter paying for the new router, score!

When I got back home, I opened up the box and ran the software cd on the computer. It was working normally, checking network connections and what not. I followed the easy connection steps, unplug this, replug that. Then when it got to the final step of connection verification, I sat in front of the computer for 15 minutes and all it did was show me a rather annoying notification: ERROR! CONNECTION FAILED OR NOT DETECTED PLEASE CHECK ETHERNET CABLE! At that point, I'm repeatedly punching the monitor. I repeated the setup process for about five times, including the punching.

I eventually gave up and called comcast (my service provider). The first thing customer service asked me was, "is the router one that comcast sent you?", I replied with a big NO. The customer service guy says, "I'm sorry but we only do technical support for comcast authorized routers and modems." I said "thank you for nothing" and hung up right away.

Next thing I tried was call LINKSYS, the company that manufactures the router. When my called got through, I was greeted by a very heavily Indian accented lady, I couldn't understand her over the phone. Anyways I was on the phone with her for about an hour, basically retyping "ipconfig" in the command window and ending up with no results or ip address for that matter. At one point she told me to reconnect the internet cord back into the computer, but in order to do that I must reset my connection and I totally forgot that my house phone gets reset when I do that too. So, stupid me gets disconnected from the technician from a clumsy error.

After my phone reset itself I called back immediately and I didn't get the same technician who was helping me earlier. I felt bad for the lady I accidentally hung up on, really I do and now I'm sad even though she wasn't helping much. Fortunately the next technician I got was fluent in English. I followed her new set of instructions and successfully got the port light on the router to turn on, in which earlier it seemed to refuse to turn on. That was a good sign, but the next step was to get the manual registration page open, that was a total fail. I got the page to open but there was a loading bar pop-up which froze the page and made it unusable. I was on the phone with this technician for TWO HOURS. Her instructions didn't get me very far either, she had me switch to different computers to test the connection to the page. All attempts were futile, I was getting irritated.

The technician gave up too. She gave me a few reference numbers and told me to get a functional computer, what the..*sigh* seriously lady, all my computers work, its your webpage that's ticking me off. Well, she pretty much said that all three of my computers were hopeless. Whatever... I said thank you and hung up.

Heh...after my annoying tech calls, I decided to try one more time on my own, since the connections to the ports were verified and apparently functional. Whadya know, the connection/verification was successful and wireless network is setup. See! I can set it up by myself. The techies I called blamed my disc for being defective, which was why it wasn't connecting properly. In your face techies!!! My disc was fine. I set up the connection and named it "Dancing Tofu Slicer" since I couldn't get a hold of Miki, she always has a say in whatever naming processes we have.

My wireless is up and now I can go on the net with my Wii and PS3.
Tomorrow I have to go to the hospital to see if the dumb doctors can do anything about my blind eye.
I will write more tomorrow, bye!
