Tropical Storm Mirinae is bound to hit Northern and Central Luzon. Another typhoon.. I just hope it changes course. Many of us haven't recovered yet from the two previous typhoons that hit us..

Vista OS



I'm thinking of getting myself a Vista Home Basic OS for my laptop. The Vista Starter OS that came with it seems to simply not be sufficient for all the things that I do. The Stater pack only allows three programs to be run simultaneously. It's quite irritating trying to open an application, only to find on the screen a pop-up message saying that I cannot do so unless I close any one of those currently running. haayy... I just hope I have enough money to buy me a licensed Home edition..

Aftermath



Good thing the weather is better now. We do not need any more rains. There are areas in Manila and in the northern part of Luzon that are still submerged in water because of the two terrible typhoons that had come. To most of us who are ok, there are still people to be helped, houses to be rebuilt, and lives to be restored. Let us do our share in this task.
