temporarily anyway.  There was a problem with the LCD at the bottom portion as lines were flickering which needed to get fixed. It's still under warranty so it shouldn't be that much of  a problem. But having to surrender my HP laptop for a couple of weeks (hopefully it'll just be one) is a bit of a torture for a net-freak like me. Anyway, I'm thinking about the good part wherein I won't have to be addicted too much since I usually turn it on whenever I go home. At least, this can give me a break for awhile. I just have to rely on other means to be able to update my blogs as well as check for other updates.

bye, bye for now.

I'm still preparing for another trip, hoping that the weather would cooperate next week.
