The World Wide Web Addict

I guess, I am too late for my greetings but as the saying goes, “better late than never”. How did you celebrate your Halloween? Did you watch horror movies? Did you have fun attending costume parties and wearing those scary, colourful and attractive Halloween costumes? Some of you might had visited a ghost tour or had fun in a haunted attraction? Halloween is over now. There might be no more holiday costume returns. Don’t you know that there are Halloween costumes that you can return and cannot? It is very obvious that when we bought a certain item that is already used and worn-out can never be returned in a store. This is also true for Halloween costumes. If ever you bought any costume or items that you did not use and it is still in its original packaging, I believed you can still return those items.

I believed some of you especially the kids went for a trick and treat! They were e hunting the doors of house owners for candies and chocolates. For sure that would be a lot of fun besides having those candies. There are still a lot of celebrations to come. Christmas is almost here. You might need again some costumes for Christmas like acting and dressing as Santa Claus. I agree that the kids would be happy if Santa Claus will be giving gifts and presents. If you want to know some guides and tips regarding costume returns and policies, you might want to visit Costume Returns. You can also browse for the different costumes in all kinds of celebrations and parties in this site. I just remember that I spent Halloween in Warwick Castle in England last year. Sad to say, I did not wear a Halloween costume. You know why? I forget that it was a Halloween day as we visited this castle. The most important thing is, I had a lot of fun! I need to sign-off for now. Goodnight!

There were just a lot of strange things that happened the past days. My netbook is not starting anymore. Our cooking plates were grounded, the faucet in the kitchen keep on dropping and last Saturday, I can’t see anymore the blogs I am following. I don’t know what happened. I just did not think about that too much. For sure my blogger friends will still visit me and I can add and follow them again. Surprise yesterday because as I opened my old pc I saw again the blogs I am following..weird huh? My problem right now, my old pc is running very very slow. Sorry friends, if I can’t reciprocate your visit. I will do once my pc will be backed to normal. I guess, it is having some fever right now! wink! happy start of the month of November!

It was a very bad news yesterday that I heard over the radio. One of the biggest shop in Germany named Quelle is filing bankruptcy now. This morning I read in the newspaper that around two thousand workers and employees lost their jobs. This can really be very sad and traumatic. I also read about a couple who had been in this company for more that twenty years and they have two children. Today they just woke-up and can’t go to go to work anymore. I guess they can try to find a new job now. There are online job sites like pa job listings who offers different positions in any field. I also heard last time that a lot of German people are leaving Germany to find a new life in the US, Switzerland, Austria and other parts of the world. Good luck to all job seekers. I also wish to find a good job next time. Anyone want to hire me?

I guess it is ranting time! Our computers are not doing good right now. I mean the processing and everything. We had this problem this week. I even had a difficulty when opening my other laptop yesterday. It was very frustrating but sometimes it happened. I am not really a computer tech and I am just afraid that one day I can’t already use and open my computers. The old one that I am using right now is processing very very slow. It is just annoying! sorry for the not so good words here. I have a lot of things to do both online and offline but now I am stuck-up with the slow processing of my pc. I know that this is already old but it is still processing normal since the past weeks and months and even years. It is only this week that it seems to be sicked. I hope it will be backed to normal tomorrow.

One more update here and I will say goodbye in this site. I am just happy because I finally got my electronic plane ticket today. In God’s will I am finally going home next month! yeheey! The problem is my printer is not working. I just sent an email to the travel agency where I bought it to send me a copy of my ticket confirmation. I am quite excited to see home again after three years of not seeing it. I guess I need to slowly find a good tile or a lot of tiles for the minor renovation of our kitchen. I already chatted to some friends that I will be seeing them soon. I also miss my family and relatives. Beloved Philippines, I am going home and I will see you soon!

I am finally online. I had some migraine today but I am thankful that it was finally over. As I opened tonight my other computer, the old one that I like, I was wondering because I cannot connect to the internet anymore. At first, firefox had some updates. Later, there was a message from my Norton Personal firewall that there was a program that was trying to enter my computer. I forgot now the name of that program. I totally blocked that program and after that, I was not able to connect to the internet anymore. The other problem was, I don’t understand some internet and computer terms because it is in German language. I just tried to find out what was going on because I can’t go online anymore. I also tried to check my firewall settings. After almost an hour of figuring it, I finally did it. I was quite nervous because I thought my pc was already attacked by some viruses or there might be something wrong with all the programs. I can’t remember exactly what I did three hours ago. To ease the annoying internet connection, I watched some TV programs instead. I am happy that I am online again.

This is not really a good story but it is not so bad. Sometimes I am thinking of getting some wrinkles about this. Last week, I sent an email to the travel agency where I booked my plane ticket for a vacation to the Philippines. I asked if they still have an available seats of the promo ticket they are still offering on their website. In fact until now it is still there. I already booked my ticket since last August but I am still hoping to get a cheaper one. Since there are no more seats for their promo tickets, I asked them to send me the bill of my ticket reservation. They sent me a bill online but I don’t have a printer. Sad to say, they said that my ticket was already cancelled because I did not pay for it. I got a bit stress about it. I immediately called the travel agency to rebooked another ticket for me. I am just happy to know that the same flight schedule I had before is still available. Sometimes if you have stress from this situation, you might need eye wrinkle cream to get rid of those winkles. We can’t avoid it and it really happens. To avoid any stress, we better not think too much of any problems and bad situation. We have to remember life is so short. We better have fun and live life to the fullest. Cheers!

I know that my pc is still working. The problem is, sometimes it is acting very weird like the different characters that appears when I type a certain key on the keyboard. Not only that, last night as I was shutting it down, it took forever to process. I waited and waited until around 20 minutes, it was still not shutting down, I already pushed the off button. I know that my pc is already antique. I got a new netbook but I still love this old one. I guess, I need a a new one again early next year. I need to ask first my financier…wink! Hope you had a great day today!

I was surprised last Wednesday night after opening my computer. It processed very slow and it won’t open thoroughly because a message was flashing on the screen telling something like,”there is no attached keyboard in your computer. I also noticed that the Num lock light is not flashing. I checked its connection but still it won’t go through. I ended up buying a new keyboard. I guess not all electronics and gadgets are safe products. Right guys? If you are also looking for safety products especially for work needs, you can try to browse it in the net. I also read a warning in my keyboard that says, “Warning: To reduce risk of serious injury, read safety and comfort guide provided with product. So people out there including me of course, we have to be very careful when buying electronics and other gadgets. Never forget to read the safety instruction before using it. I am happy that my keyboard worked again. Cheers!

I am happy to share my #1050 entry for this site. I can’t imagine that I already have more than a thousand posts for this site only. I am happy to part of the blogosphere where I can share my ideas, thoughts, opinions and even personal experiences. For now, I am just sharing this photo taken during the Fasching or Carnival in Velburg last February of this year.

Feel free to visit Wordless Wednesday to see more photos! Happy WW to all!
