a fresh start

So a week ago, my beloved MacBook Pro of just over two years got sick. In other words the hard drive / hard drive bracket and cable was damaged and needed to be replaced. This caused me to take make a total of five Genius Bar appointments at Apple Store Fairview and see a total of six Apple Geniuses over the course of four days (October 13, 15, 16, 17).

Long story short, my MacBook Pro is now healthy and running again. However, I lost all my files since I didn't do any backups because I didn't have any external hard drives back then.

But now I've learned my lesson, will take advantage of time machine, use it and be good to go. Plus, put all my pictures and shit on online sharing programs such as Dropbox and Google Drive so that I won't lose anymore stuff.

And I suppose another good thing about all this is that I got a larger hard drive! Went from 250gb to 500gb!
