a token of attitude

warning: more hate coming at you.

i hate being the one who knows most about computers in our house. being that, im always, always the go-to guy for pc-based stuff like online research, documents, troubleshooting, etc. im a very helpful person, but i dont like it when i have to provide help for the smallest, simplest of things. for example, the other day i was out with a witch when my brother texted me that the pc won't turn on. i couldn't see how being hundreds of miles away from home can allow me to fix that. our home pc clunks out sometimes, and when it happens and im not around, i always tell them "taktake." (which is batangueno for "itaktak" which is tagalog for "lift the front up a bit and let it drop"). i dont know why but none of them seem to get this quickie solution, even though it works all the time. anyways, so, im basically tired of getting calls or receiving text for help because i would assume that by now they know i'd obviously give the same reply.

i also hate the fact that people rely on the internet now so much. im quite good at finding info on the interwebs, but some just cant understand that if it aint there, i won't find it. also, not everything you see on a webpage is the truth or has anything to do with what you're trying to look for. especially those ads. dont just click them. anyways, im not saying these people are stupid. they're just lazy. we're all lazy about something. which i also hate because, when im lazy, i get a lot of flak, even though my laziness does not require some other person's efforts. but when they're being lazy and asking me to do their shit, they dont hear a thing from me.

so, thank you, blog.

You're just like my brother. He's the ultimate go-to guy when it comes to techie stuff and he just hates it! One time, my aunt asked him, "paano mag-search sa internet?" After teaching her, he was so pissed and can't believe how inept our aunt is!

like you said, we're all just lazy. and that's why we're dumb with regards to such things.

aleli: minsan ok lang. minsan hindi. ang nakakainis e obvious na nga na ako yung may alam, magmamarunong pa sila at ayaw makinig sa kin. ewan. grr.

jigs: para lang naman yang pagtetext e. wala namang text dati pero lahat natuto. kung pag-aaksayahan nila ng konting panahon ang internet, ganun din kadali nila maaabsorb yun.

Ganyan talaga. Every household has someone who is the designated computer guy. It's usually the teenage brother.

Everyone has a role in the family. This apparently, as dictated by the fast-paced technological world we're living, is yours.

The price of being nice. A discounted one at that. ;>
