O Boring Nights

When I returned to the Philippines earlier this month I had my computer taken away from me by one of Asus's service representatives. The large crack that had formed on the rear hinge of my laptop was a design flaw, and under Asus's 2-year global warranty, they were obliged to replace the casing of my laptop. We'll call you after 4-5 working days, they said. They escorted me out and I was as happy as any customer would be when given free service.

After 4-5 working days I failed to receive a call. I came back and demanded for my computer, but they apologetically inform me that Asus currently did not have the parts. It'll take 3-4 weeks, they said. I was upset that they hadn't told me this information before, but given the situation I couldn't do anything but walk away in defeat and wait another 2-3 weeks.

During this time I sit at home with absolutely nothing to do.

I generally finish school at six in the evening. It takes an hour to commute home. From seven onwards I do the following things: eat, shower, read, clean my room, and play guitar (also, I recently started "working out"). I realized that this routine takes three hours of my day, which means by 9:30PM I'm in bed wondering why my evenings seem so short.

I can't do my homework because assignments are sent through email, I can't do research because journals are now found online. And surprisingly, I'm beginning to feel like textbooks are obsolete.

What I'm trying to say is that . . . I dunno . . . I should learn how to cook.

Note: I had my cable disconnected last December, so no TV
