the NEED for BACKUPS

Life is full of surprises. And indeed it is!

When my dad woke me up and asked me if I had saved all my files in a removable disk, I was shattered. I knew it! He blew it up! He "accidently" trashed all the contents of the stupid computer! All those crappy pictures that took me months to accumulate were gone. Yes, they were JUST pictures, pictures that I just have to climb a mountain, celebrate my 18th bday and christmas , and do silly things with my friends again in order to regain them. Yes, those pictures meant nothing to me! Yeah right! Sinong niloko mo???

I am feeling so devastated, as if I was stripped all of my happy memories. Lahat na nawala, bakit iyon pa dapat masama. Iyon na nga lang meron ako sa mga kahapong lumipas, nawala pa. Kung kailan iyon na lang ang pinanghahawakan ko sa lahat ng bagay na inaasahan ko, nilisan na rin ako. Kung tutuusin pwede ko naman palitan ang mga iyon ng bago, pero kahit ano pa ang gawin ko, magiging iba at iba pa rin ang mga iyon sa dati.

Maybe I am just being so clingy with all those things. Maybe it is a sign that I should let go of them. Maybe this is the dawn of a new and wonderful beginning for me. Maybe God wants me to experience more than what I had. Maybe I should learn how to accept change even if I don't want it. Maybe this is just a test. Maybe God wants me to be more tough. Maybe I should open my eyes a little bit more to the positive side. Maybe God wants me to realize that there is more to life than what I had and been experiencing. Maybe God wants me to be prepared. And maybe, God wants me to realize that I do need a back up.

So this time, I will refuse to be lazy. I will be ever patient and diligent in saving my files somewhere other than in my computer.

I have learned my lesson well, for I learned it the hard way.
