I haven’t even got my feet wet with Windows Vista and now the fuss about the next year release of Windows 7 is getting hot. Technology is either too fast or I’m too primitive. Working as a technical support in the office and our agents outside, I firmly stayed away from upgrading to Vista. The first time I saw Vista, I automatically pushed it away. I don’t want to learn any more tricks to troubleshoot a misused functionality, slow processing or a blue screen. Our software will definitely have problems with Vista and I either have no time or energy to find solutions to install the software in the platform.
I wonder what the point of this entry?
Well, we have one Vista machine at home and I had the time to strip it down to minimum and I must say, I’m liking it. I won’t swap XP with it, but it’s not bad. It can do pretty cool stuff, that Vista. As expected, software installation problem is prevalent in Vista and it’s really the main reason why I won’t be using it as my production platform in the future. I will only use Vista if it’s totally stripped out to a bare minimum for basic processing such as word processing, presentation, video, and audio.

What’s so good about a long distance relationship that I’m always caught up in it? Honestly speaking, it’s not at all fabulous. There’s too much tension between partner, expensive and longing is at maximum. What’s worst is if you meet for a few days or a few weeks, by the time you separate again, the longing reaches a new maximum.
Missing someone special in your life is easily forgotten if you keep yourself busy. If I’m working, I forget that lonely feeling, but of course she’s still on my mind. However, it is at my idle that is tormenting. On weekends waking up with only the thought of her is not enough because I know I have to fill the rest of my day alone. The torment becomes more serious especially if a thought that in the near future I still won’t be with her. Over and over again, I feel or rather I think like I would leave everything and fly back to her and start life anew there. It’s my realistic side that’s stopping me. I know time will come that Mai & I will be together as one, close as ever. It’s just a matter of time and a whole lot of patience from the both of us.
Long live to the both of us, Mai! Hold on tight… All the thoughts on you and the future. This charade will soon end and a true beginning shall start.
