Belated hABBY birthday blog entry!

The day began with me being 30 minutes late. We were supposed to meet at 10:30 by the chapel near Crazy Crepes. Oh but, oh boy. I underestimated the traffic (rawr, should have left early!)...and to make matters semi-worse, the bus I was riding suddenly stopped at meralco...-__-;;...engine trouble. The guys had to push the huge bus, and luckily it started running again. Abby got tired of waiting by the chapel and decided to go to the food court. I was deathly nervous, thinking she'd be with Lion King and her Mom...only to find out that she's just there waiting with Tina (Kee).

...As usual, LIZA MARBAN was late. Haha, she woke up a little before ELEVEN. So we waited. and waited. and waited. and waited. AND WAITED STILL.The cake was melting, poor mango cake from Red Ribbon...XD

And so...to ease our boredom (AND HUNGER), we decided to take pictures! :D Yay for automatic sequence function on my camera phone! LOL. That was really loads of fun.

Liza finally arrived (at what? 1pm? xD) and we went on to look for her at promenade. We walked around for quite a bit, not knowing where we'll be eating. We finally decided on Won Ton @ the 2nd floor of Promenade. The food was good, and we were full and happy. Abby got to use her spankin' new credit card! and hmm, tina and I were definitely amazed that the bill was exactly around the amount Abby had predicted (stingy stingy luck!).

After eating satisfyingly large portions of food, we walked around the tiangge in Theater Mall, round here and there and out to Virra Mall. We did that for what may be around 45minutes to an hour or so (basically we were window shopping, as an excuse to help digestion) then off we went to look around at Toy Kingdom, drooling at the Gashapon stuff...

after that we finally went back to the food court, ordered some drinks at Quickly (we had to pay this time :P) and sat down to finally eat cake. And so we lighted the candle (lighter c/o liza) did the whole happy birthday abby song, and finally set out to eating the cake (forks c/o liza). It was already...well, semi-melted ish and warm, but it was still good.

For some reason, I ended up putting eyeliner on abby...and then on tina...and then on liza

. Haha, liza's was the most decent one since I already got to practice on Tina's and Abby's eyelids. I know we were sorta catching people's attention as we were laughing (semi)loud putting "make-up" like tween girls having a slumber party...but I didn't mind. We were REALLY having fun. Haha, eyeliner girls. Okay lang, paminsan minsan lang naman :P

We took another bunch of pictures afterwards. Sayang yung ibang pics, masyadong blurry...but I'm glad a lot of them turned out alright.

We then proceeded to...Comic Alley, just to look around...and I ALMOST, almost ended up buying

stuff. But it was a good thing I didn't have that much money on hand yet. After quite awhile, and getting sorta separated for a bit when Tina and Abby went to the bathroom and ended up in that food area in the Virramall Tiange (watsons daw, tabi pala ng watsons!)...we went to Timezone.

I'm really glad I pushed on to go to Timezone, because THAT was sort of the highlight of the day. It was fun shooting zombies, and being sucky at another shooting game...and then winning at Deal or No Deal (Yeah! Lucky # 3) and screaming like crazy was wonderful.

It couldn't be helped. WE JUST HAD TO GO ON A PURIKURA MACHINE! It was nerve wracking trying to figure stuff out at first...but it was again, quite fun. We had to do it twice :P

I was gonna scan the all the purikura pics I have and put it here, but something's wrong with my scanner...roar. So I just grabbed abby's scans...(non-yellowish purikura scans c/o abby) xD I had no choice but to still scan this other purikura pic though with my scanner, even though it turned yellow...oh but anyway...I'll see if I could get a decent scanner somewhere...to show the neat-o colors of our purikura piccies...

-------------

Oh the memories~
fun fun fun :D

I'd love to do it all over again.

To my OB friends and AC friends...LET'S GO ON PURIKURA!

and hanya, if we ever do go out on our DATE (lol)...lets do that too :3

Breathe in, breathe out, it's almost over now || Invisible right click

Well, thesis defense is finally done. And we actually did well. really well...(?)
and we could have done better, if not for some...haha, minor, uhh...delay. XD
more on that some other time I guess. Maybe. Probably. Perhaps. hehe :)

OH~...@__@...finally...it's over!

...erm, ALMOST over.

Sure, that's one less thing to worry about...but it's not over yet. I still have my finals in INTOECO tomorrow at 10:30 in the morning...And since my father dear is in Austria right now, I'd have to commute.

Oh the hassles of commuting under the fiery heat of the sun. It burns. SSsskkk~ *sizzlesizzle*
Gah, I'm meeeelting~ MEEELLLTING~ (note, imagine that wicked witch from Wizard of Oz)

Almost forgot...we still have to fix the thesis for book binding...that means going over the whole thing again (paranoidparanoid) to make sure everything goes well. Hmm, guess I'm not really gonna be getting any breaks yet.

Wah, so many piccies to upload once I get to my "break time". Thesis adventures, OJT stuffoo, and delayed gimmick piccies coming soon...hopefully

-----------------

Rawr. for some reason, stuff has been happening to my dear laptop. Nothing really drastic and debilitating, but just...annoying stuff...like the worms and trojan infestation from Microsmith the other day...that caused the non-clickability of my drive C...

so now another thing came up. It's the INVISIBLE RIGHT CLICK MENU...
so what exactly happens? well. um. When you right click on your desktop, or whatever application...you don't see the menu that's supposed to appear. It's just...invisible...

but then if you mouse over it, it appears. the text and other options that is.
It's not really any big trouble as I said. It's just...one of those teensy annoying things. I don't really know what caused it. I'm guessing it's the worms and their minion, since I never changed my settings anyway...I mean, if I did, I'd know.

As usual, google is my friend. Initially I was going to try and solve it on my own, and checked out my desktop properties, but then...I got curious as to whether it's happened to other people too. And it turns out that it has happened to others. So now Janna has learned something new again. And since she is in a jolly sharing whatever mood, she'd go about and type-e-type to tell you about HOW TO UNDO the invisible right click menu, OR to umm...enable it. Just in case you're one of those people who'd want to do random things such as making your right click invisible...for whatever reason (e.g. annoying other users, etc.)

so! anyway...what you should do is this...

1) You right click on your desktop and go to properties
2) click on the tab that says "appearance"
3) click on the "effects" button
4) check/uncheck the first box for the transition effects

and there you go!

XD

lol, wala lang :)
just thought I'd share.
well, off to review then!

Can't access your drives (i.e. drive C:) with double click?

Yeah, well I noticed it happened to me yesterday (and it lasted till a few moments ago, actually). I couldn't access my drive C: when I would double click on the icon.

I mean, sure, it's not like I can't access it totally. I can still view and open the contents of my drive via that drop down thingy on the folders, or right clicking on the icon and opening it manually...

but still. It was, quite annoying. Things haven't really been all dandy for me these past few days (weeks even) and that minor problem was really just. RAWR.

Having been too busy to allow my lapytop to do its usual antivirus scanning daily, it seems i've accumulated a number of trojans and worms. These were easily removed by my AVG anti-virus, of course. But it left me with this minor, yet annoying problem of not being able to access my drive C: with the ever so classic "double-click" move.

and so, I consulted my friend google, via its blackle custom search, and I was lead to some answers.

Cease and Desist! No need to go so far as to reformat your drive! Sure sure, it wouldn't be so bad to go off reformatting your usb-drive (especially when you have a back-up of the stuff)...just so you can get rid of that annoying non-double-clicky-ness...but you can't easily choose that reformatting option on your drive C: because it's very likely that you have tons of stuff there, and it would be a pain reinstalling your OS and doing a back-up of all your needed files, and making sure that everything gets back to its happy neat self!

So, the solution? To get back to being freely able to double click your drive after the trojans and worms have disabled that?

well~

the easiest option would be to download this and just run it:
http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/Flash_Disinfector.exe

It's called flash disinfector :D
When your compy or drive gets infected by worms and trojans and such and such, those things will create their own autorun.inf file...Most anti-virus programs would be able to detect and remove the executable virus (e.g. trojan.exe or somesuch) but not the autorun.inf file because it's basically just an instruction file and not the actual virus itself. So, what flash disinfector does is that it will create an autorun.inf file in the drives to replace the ones that the virus made...

...at least that's how I understood it.

Anyway, it works :D
it really does. So now you can continue to enjoy double clicking on your drives and so on...lol

If you're paranoid to download flash disinfect, thinking that it might cause you more problems than it can solve, then maybe you can try this other solution I came across.

This guy had the same problem as I did, and upon research, he was able to solve the double-click problem too.

If you're too lazy to click on the link, then I'll just copy paste what that person said :D

1) Go to My Computer, Tools -> Folder Options -> View, there check Show Hidden Files and uncheck the two beneath that so all hidden files are displayed to you.
2) Open notepad and type in:
[AutoRun]
open=C:\windows\explorer.exe

3) Save it as file "autorun.inf". Save it directly to your Drive C and restart your computer. You should be able to access your Drive C with double clicking now!

--
so here the first thing you have to do is make the autorun.inf file visible by changing the folder options to show the hidden files, and then open the file and type in the code he specified above...save it as autorun.inf, on your drive C and restart your compy, and there.

*breathes*

Well, I hope that helps someone.
Blabbing about it helped take out the irky feeling I had earlier. So even though the state I am in is still borderline sucky, being able to actually blog about something useful helps.

Hmm, I'd rather talk about other stuff though, but then that would just be all complicated. Perhaps I'll just tackle those when things cool and anxiety is cut down.

Wah, still have tons of piccies to upload...@__@
oh well, will hop to it...

eventually.

XDD
