<3 My Mafias n Minions
For a new comm, we have so many posts, and so many comments received...
I'm so glad to have met those two random mafias! Even though I barely knew them when we first decided to make the comm, they have proven to be really invaluable to the team. All the random posts they made, and will make in time to come, it really helps to liven up the group, esp when there are no new releases. I wanted to make a group with active members... remember I asked people for suggestions on what games/discussions we could have? Well, I needn't have asked! Just get my two mafias to think of some random post to make and gosh they have sooo many ideas.
Well someone asked. Why are we so nice and replying to like, every comment? Well I didn’t reply to every single comment in the latest discussion post, but well, firstly, it's fun, and secondly, I want my members to be active, have fun, interacting with us, interacting with other members... well that means that I also need to be active to encourage others to join in right? And I believe in leading by example... Plus its really nice to have convos with all the members... some of the convos have gotten really, really long and essay worthy already XD
Dad was asking if my sis and I needs a new lappy since the IT fair is coming again next week. Well my sis definitely needs one. She's totally stolen and is solely using my dad's macbook pro now hahaha. But then the Apple announcement is only coming on the 9th of Sept and idk if there will be a refresh on the retina display macbook line. So we'll holding up a bit longer. And my lappy. Yes... I would LOVE a new mac desktop/lappy, with more HD space and more ram... BUT. But. This lappy of mine is still fully functionable. It's not even laggy or anything 90% of the time. Ok more than that I guess. Occasionally it lags, but its fine if I just restart firefox, or restart the lappy. AND make sure I have more space on my HD. I totally torture my comp and leave it with less than 5gb of HD space many a times. Even now there's less than 10gb of free space and yet its running perfectly fine. And there's no partitioning between the programs/files like C, D drive like in windows, so that's 10GB of free space in the ENTIRE hard disk. And sometimes it survived on just 1 or 2 gb of free space. I swear the lappy would have crashed and died already if it was windows. I can't help it but sound like such a devoted fanboy of apple (though truth to be told, I probably am) but it’s the truth that their products are better. This macbook pro of mine, I got it in mid 2010. That's 4 years now. My sis's asus lappy - she got it later than me, but now its practically unusable now. Extremely slow, battery has already died, restarts randomly on its own... But my mac is still perfectly usable. Sure it's not as fast as it used to be, but that's partly my fault for installing and running a lot of programs, and for keeping my HD so full. Yeah, processor is slow and there's not enough RAM, but those are hardware limitations already present when the lappy was bought. Oh. One thing did spoil though! The trackpad has physical clicking buttons but it no longer works now. Some say that it's cos the battery is expanding or something... idk. It is true that the trackpad is slanted upwards though, like something has pushed it up from below. And the battery health is only around 65% of its original now. Which still isnt that bad considering that its been 4 years, and in the last 2 years or so my lappy is being charged 99.99% of the time. Bad for the battery health I know... I totally wasn't taking care of the battery. But that it still run of an hour or 2 without battery power shows what a miracle this piece of technology is. That it has endured my 4 years of abuse and still come out relatively unscathed. Amazing really. It feels like such a waste to get a new lappy... I want a new one of cos, and I want A TON of things... but I don't need it. This old boy is still going strong. Too strong maybe hahaha.
Okays. I shall stop being random... Just vacuumed the floor after a nice and full lunch. And I'm getting drowsy again. Oh no....... >< The subs... ahhhhhhhh... It'll never get done!

If dad asked me that question I would totally answer YES! right away. No hesitations. HAHA. But that would be really impossible for now. HAHA. cos 1. Mom will never allow it and 2. I just bought my laptop 5months ago. Haha. Bought it and charged it to my cc but it still hasn't been debited yet! -_- BOO. It feels like I got my new laptop for free! HAHAHA.
