Well, years ago a friend bought me a laptop and gee, I can't imagine at that time what would I do with it. So many nights I just look at it and questions running amok inside my brain like; what I am going to do with it? I don't have no proper knowledge/education about computer aside from a manual which was given to me together with my antique pc dated back 2004 by Megan Williams I can still hear her voice as she handed it to me 'HERE'S YOUR BIBLE.' and she left me wide-mouth shut!
Without help from outside I managed to decipher instructions in the manual and in the next few months I started loving my antique computer. As of to date I've written manuscript after manuscript, poems and essays and all other things that needs typing. Out of the antique pc I've self-published five books. And I am happy for the reasons that it was much more easier for me for a quick typing.
Then here comes this laptop....first reactions I had is of the same on my antique pc, which I can remember vividly what my Prince Gerasib comments about it., actually he said 'Julieta maybe your personal computer is heading to the museum now.,' Gosh! I was shocked when he said that, but in truth he is right...but up to now I still have it and still using for my manuscripts and I love it so much. It is like 'the more you are with someone the more you loving them so much, so that is my antique personal computer to me. So for now my Prince Gerasib, (You know who you are, if you are reading this) you have to keep wondering when I would let it walk to the museum....maybe when the antique pc will walk by itself to the Northern Territory Museum... but it is a long way a way from where I live. A good fifteen to twenty minutes drive I suppose!
Now, laptop...it was so hard to start. I am afraid to touch any buttons for I might bugger the flaming thing. But somehow, I know deep in my heart that if I let my 'fear to break the flaming pink laptop' I would never know how to use it. So much reading this and that, and lots of 'omg' every time the screen turn blue or blank or something beeps. I can't give up even if I tried to. I can't let uncertainty wins over me. It is not me, if i just easily give up. I remember one day during my high school days, our psychology teacher asked us to bring something the following morning in the class.
Morning comes I picked a weed along the road to bring it to the class. Class started and one after the other our teacher called us to come forward and show what we brought and explain why? Some brought button, newspaper, doll and etc., and when I was called I showed them the weed, and everyone had a giggle. The teacher asked 'why weed', Julieta? Why, weed?'
'Well Sir, because I am like a weed, throw me anywhere and I will live. Just a little of sand I can grow on top of the stone or as I've said anywhere. It is mean that all I need is a little bit of love and a little bit of care and I will survive.' So I said.
And from then on my teacher always called me Miss Weed, which I don't mind at all. Truly I like the sound of it.
Going back to this laptop, well, I suppose perseverance and patience goes hand in hand with modern technology. Also with my appreciation to Nicki Saroca, whom initiated me to the 'justify' style of writing. Which 'justify' became my favorite style!
Up to this day I no super expert on computer but at least I can manage here and there and it does takes me to somewhere.....the moment I touch one key, type a word....is all I need to take me to the thousands and thousands of word to take me to the journey of writing....I'll take you all to all places I am going to....places which I am sure we can share through our imaginations....
My number fifty (50) blog....is where I will take you right now.....
