Stuff

A few things had happened since my last post. I don't really have the time nor the patience to keep this updated as often as I intended.

1. Computer

The hard drive is stuffed and all the data was lost and we took it someplace to recover them. Jerry had a lot of data stored on those hard drives and losing them is not an option. So at the moment, the network isn't accessible.

My two laptops have problems. I'm currently using my old one but can't set it up yet because it needs reformating... again. My new one is also having problems and can't be used. We don't know what the problems are and reformating it is not doing any good. So it must be a hardware problem but we don't know what's wrong with them. Therefore, we don't know how to fix it.

2. The Madhappies

  • The Madhappies had a few gigs in the past month. They played at the "Living Room" and the "Alley Bar". As I've mentioned, computers and networks in this house is not fuctioning properly so no photos yet. Everything is everywhere at the moment and it's very frustrating. Photos and data are scattered everywhere.

  • They're having a live broadcast gig on Raw Audio Sofa Session this Sunday 8pm Brisbane time.

  • The CDs have been created and the album launch is going to be at "The Zoo" (a venue in the valley) on the 29th of June 2006.



  • They might be playing at "The Rev" (another venue in the valley) in September. I'm not sure if it's confirmed yet or not.
3. Work

They relocated me from DFO (Direct Factory Outlet) to the Myer Centre (in the city) a few weeks ago, which is a good thing... a sign of growth. I still get paid the same though.

There are going to be some changes at work. We're going to have a whole season of "It's Black" where everything is black, grey, dark purple, etc. But it's only for a season. Then the next season, it would be all about jeans and the season after that would be all about linen. That's what they're doing at the moment. I went to the "It's Black" presentation at the Fringe Bar last night (June 21, 2006 Wednesday) and we were told of what it's going to be like. There's going to be a launch party at Carindale on the 7th of July (Friday) and the Carindale store will be set up for this Black Launch.

4. Rio

Rio and I got acquainted here in Australia (at CQU and Unilodge). Even though we both went to Thames, we didn't know each other then. She studied here for a few years and now she's leaving. She's going back to the Philippines and there's a job there waiting for her. I was at the goodbye party last night (after the work function at the Fringe Bar). It was also Josh's birthday last night so while I was at the fringe bar, Jerry went to have dinner with Josh and his other circle of friends and Jerry and I went to Rio's party afterwards. They were having a kareoke night at "Fat Louis". Josh dropped in with his lady friend, Sophie, a little while after we got there.

The End.
