Modem Fried. CPU fried. What else??? Even my hard disk crashed on me. Time to get a new computer? Well, this scenario did happened to me a few years back. Back then the only possible solution I can think of is just get a brand new computer to use. Somehow it works.

Though somehow I wished I knew how to build a computer from scratch then. Yes, I live in the era of the 486 and my first PC was a Pentium 166Mhz. It’s now so easy to build a PC on your own and save about $100 of cost. Well, instead of paying for the assembled pc and saving on the extra cost that somehow the shop charges you, why not get a basic starter kit of a PC module and start building it instead. But understood, many people actually think about it second time of fixing their own PC less they themselves destroyed the components themselves. Not advisable for non computer or technical savvy person.

Though I do hope that if you’re really going to assemble your PC, just wait till you see how this guy assembled his. ROFL!!

“Woi!!!! You no life is it? Morning go to work, Afternoon face pc, evening face pc, then come back home also you stay in front of the computer, crazy is it? Where’s your social life?”

“What the crap you chat chat chat, then DOTA, maplestory, SDO after dinner? No work to do is it??”

“Blog again ah? How many times you want to view your blog??? Not always same is it? Come back blog, why don’t you go out and have some light chat with your friends?”

Okay, so we heard this conversation many a times.

Looks like it’s been awhile since I’ve blogged about something out of the ordinary. Well, with all those traveling, it’s time for some break of jumping here and there and showing where I’ve been. But let’s say, what do you think of your life? Do you just stare at the monitor most of the time and expecting your social life to be moderately good. I know of someone who spend most of his life watching tv and computer that he soon got tied to home and don’t even go out to work. Pity the parents that are supporting him.

But to me, it never bores me to be in front of the PC most of the time. Well, with proper intentions of course. But not always that facing the monitor all the time, you’ll have no friends and stuffs. It was through the internet I got to know bloggers alike, even people from ShoutOut, photographers, people from forums and most importantly I can even earn stuffs through the internet. But then, what happen to social life? Now let me get this straight, don’t tell me most of you who made friends online, never even gone to like at least do a meet up. It’s through this medium that we can finally forge a strong bond amongst online friends.

Now who said going online is boring, or rather blogging is boring? If it is boring, imagine all the fun one missed out by meeting other bloggers and not necessary your group of friends are limited to your area only. Think again, but of course, don’t burst your bubble.

There is a new site which I would like to introduce. Yes, heard of Social Spark?? Well, a funny thing is I have joined this community website and it’s good to know that I have also created my profile there. Haha.. seeing how people has always called me weird, I decided to get a profile there with the name Weird Daniel.

Just only a few days after joining Social Spark, I find that it’s really a good place to link together with other bloggers looking to advertise their site and give comments for each other blogs. Well, though I am still clueless as to how to add a friend.

But then all this really need practice as how I was very noob in joining Facebook previously. Well, so far the only functionality for SocialSpark for me now is to get to know the IZEA community more. I can now connect to other bloggers using SocialSpark just by adding a friend, sending comments and giving reviews about other blogs featured there.

Also not forgetting, one can even get paid for doing paid postings. There’s also the nofollow clause in there, so with this, it’ll never affect your page rank. Now that’s really a two thumbs up from me. No more setbacks for page ranking and still get to earn. What more can one ask?

Though I wished that there was a better faq than the current one. What the heck is a blog archive when I joined. I tried searching and was lost.

This week’s photohunt is simply no title. Yes, amazing isn’t it. A phothunt which you can showcase your talents in photo taking, but as for me, I would now like to show you a photo I’ve taken with no added effects of photoshop of it except resize and borders and my mark on it.

Amazing isn’t it. For photo enthusiast, I used a ND4 filter for this shot. It was actually very bright and sunny and the sea could reflect sun rays. So it’s indeed useful to have a filter when taking photos.

By the way, this photo basically tells a bit of what I am going to post next. Yes, another continuation of my episode in Sabah. Where’s this place? That’s for you to find out later
