I haven’t been online for the couple of days and thus less blogging… I still don’t have internet connection at my place so I’m still trying to connect to our school whose internet keeps on disconnecting…

Anyways, last weekend, my dad (with my entire family actually) went to the city not only to help my little sister fix her stuff at her college dorm, but also to do a little shopping…

While my mom, my little sister, and I went to a mall in the business district of the country, my dad was left behind in a Mac store. Then, I learned that he went to another mall a bit far from the business district but near my sister and my college.

After the whole shopping spree with my mom and sister, well all retired to Starbucks and waited for my older sister with her husband and my dad. Then, when they came, guess what I found out… He bought a MacBook Pro (one that I wanted last year the time I got my own MacBook), AND an iMac. Boy does my dad have money…

I tried out the iMac today cause I was supposed to create a video for my grandfather for Father’s Day; hopefully it won’t be his last… It has a large screen and I am very happy with it… But, the large screen it’s that endearing anymore, especially when you sit in a low chair and it stands in a higher table… It feels like it’s gonna fall!!

The screen is big alright, but the wireless keyboard is SO small!! And, I like the mouse… I officially want to have a mighty mouse!! I thought before that it would be a waste of money since I already have a mouse.. But then again, I changed my mind when I found out what it could do…

While my dad and I were setting up the iMac a while ago as I returned home from the city, we were talking about the .mac accounts and the Apple Protection Plan… He told me that I didn’t have to worry about the .mac account and iWorks cause he bought a Family pack of both which contained 5 licenses!! WHOOOTT!! How I longed for iWorks!!! I am SO happy that my dad decided to do that and maybe I am happy that he decided to buy two macs since I can use the iMac for a lot of stuff… And he’s gonna pick them up tomorrow!!

As for my grandfather, we are still hoping for the best. He currently has abdominal aneurism where a main vein in his stomach is about to pop if we don’t do something about it. I heard from my dad that they are still going to see if he is still capable of the operation.. I am hoping that he will still be able to live long enough for Alex to remember him.. If not, even just until I graduate from college next year… I want him to be there… Just to see me graduate… Just to see him there looking at me as I march will be fine… I miss him so much right now… Now that I realize that he’s a bit old for his age… And that we are just trying our very best to keep him company, to make him happy…

I can’t even imagine New Year without him… He’s the one who usually makes all the noise with his drumming… Ever since I was a child, it’s been his job to do all the drumming while we run around the place picking up as much coins as we can… I can’t imagine my birthday without him… Ever since I was little, it had always been a joint birthday between us since our birthday is a day apart… We always had one party… And he used to teach me a lot of things… I sure miss all those days…

I wish, he can stay longer… I wish his heart would can still sustain the operation and still survive…
