    @gm4queen ~ meant to respond but then forgot. computer is working fine but like @Thong Thin said, windows 11 takes a bit of getting used to. I no longer have the office apps as those got deleted and so I use the 365 online app instead. so things like that are bit of a learning ground.

    after a heat wave, now we are in rainy weather. am down with cold and aches. why does it take so long to recover these days?

    Oh.. So glad to hear that your PC is back on. Yeah, we don't have to panic over such small things because there's always a solution, chingu! ❤️ So you reinstall windows?! Then you lost all the data you had on your hard drives? Or just repaired windows!? :sweatingbullets:

     Nevertheless, I am so glad that my suggestion helped you even a little bit as it is.

     

    On side note, I always keep all my files and everything as a back up in an external hard drive. Hope you will fix the rest and come back to your normal routine soon! Fighting, chingu!!! ❤️

    I only had what I had uploaded to drive. so I had to wipe out the hard drive and reinstall windows. the computer wouldn't let me repair windows no matter what commands or methods I used. so I was a bit worried that even reinstall won't work because my computer is old. my brother thought for sure that it was only software issue and not hardware and this last option should work. however, even downloading the tool was a snag as the windows site kept messing with us. so my brother downloaded it and then messaged to me. then I had to find a pendrive large enough and download. so yea, lots of adventures it feels like. am glad that I have most of my files because I would be really freaking out otherwise that I have no samples of my old works.  after 3 days of stress, it is good to see my old computer.

    am happy to share that my computer has come back from the dead.

    at least for now, my wallet is safe and I don't have to splurge on a new computer. phew! 

    @gm4queen ~ thanks for your suggestion; so I ended up downloading windows installation tool on a pendrive and then use that to install windows again on my computer. that finally worked. 

    still it seemed the problems continued. for some reason, there was no way to adjust the brightness and the monitor was super bright. googled and found that for some users, windows 11 will not show the tool. I spent hours trying to figure out how to resolve that since that is a big problem for me. finally managed to find a free software that adjusts the brightness and voila. sometimes googling these problems is bit of a detective work because you have to figure out what words to use before you find the right solution. 

    then the next problem was all web pages were loading slowly. googled and found the fix for that. so as of now, am set. next to add all my favourite sites and bookmarks. 

    @Ameera Ali ~ yes cloud is a saver which I never appreciated till now; I actually didn't understand why my brother even made me link to cloud as I didn't know what it was for and found it all strange. now only I understand what he was doing. so some files I had saved on my computer system rather than cloud. those I lost and so will have to recreate them. but the other files I still have. all a learning curve. 

     

    waving hi to all chingus. it is a rainy day after a spate of very hot hot hot days. nice for a change. a soup kind of day.

    yesterday I turned on my computer to find out the windows update over the previous night has crashed the operating system. the computer won't even boot and I spent the whole day combing through google and running all sorts of commands to try fix the computer but it is still corrupted. I was totally freaking out that I have lost all my passwords and important files. then my brother reminded me that he had connected me to cloud and so I checked -- it turns out that most of my files are there. some I can't find but I will figure out that later. not sure if I have lost the computer for good but I am so frustrated that a regular update from windows is the reason my computer crashed. what on earth is microsoft doing? UGH.

    so chingus, always keep copies of your important stuff in multiple places. you never know what will happen.

    I'm throwing in a wild guess....

     

    Fried Fruit - cempedak, banana 

    Savoury - coconut drizzle with salt

    Something sweet - glaze chocolate

     

    :tounge_wink:

     

     

    had the same guess. either it is some yam variety or banana (ripe or raw).

    Come on not all moustache up to @Lmangla standard :lol:

     

     

    kekekek.... correct! 

    @partyon ~ actually it depends on whether the man can wear a moustache well. some lets face it look like boys wearing dress up.  for some, moustaches/beards make them look 10+ years older. so it all depends on the guy's jawline. :joy:

    it just so happens that many turkish actors look good with moustache. :D

    so TY isn’t as stupid as I thought  he is , it’s easy to take evidence from police man than him  :D

    everyone is dumb in this drama. why does serin v2 always give time for aera to give up on her own to police. hasn't she learned by now that aera and yujin will not voluntarily confess. :lol:

    since the FL keeps thinking villains just want to confess, even police will also be dumb. they think everyone is also good and no one will steal from him. :lol:

    @Lmangla @Ameera Ali @joccu gold is definitely better than diamonds as bling or investment :D

     

    100% according to this doc, synthetic diamonds (made in lab; also called american diamonds) are being mixed with natural diamonds and sold. the mixing is anywhere from 5% to 20% or more. since the two are so close and chemically the same, it means you have no idea if you are buying synthetic or natural. plus, even natural diamonds are actually inflated and the industry creates the price -- rather than based on supply and demand. 

    so yes, gold is best for bling or investment. after all, even money is backed by sovereign gold. end of the day, you can melt it and sell it as at least metal price. actually you can do that with even silver or brass or other metals as well. 

    also for most people, it is not like folks can tell the difference between diamond and even lesser stones like zircon. one of my aunts gifted me a pair of gold earrings that has zircon set in it. whenever I wear it, there are many who think I am wearing diamond earrings. ^_^

    @Ameera Ali  @Lmangla  Gold has resale value in the long run not diamonds.

     

    However, nowdays is not safe to wear gold and go walking around in town (over my side here),  so I prefer to wear small diamond studs/ring during functions.

    ah, you also have issues with theft. yea, here also, you have to be careful while wearing gold but people still love it anyway. so most women will still wear a small amount, say earrings or a ring or a chain. I find it interesting that when you are young, girls don't like gold but as they get older, you start to appreciate gold more (me included).

    @Lmangla i am half Arab , my mom say you never go bad with gold :mrgreen:

     

     

    well she is right on that. ^_^ at least with gold, you can pawn it to get loan or sell it if you are in trouble. what will you get for diamond? no resale value and many people will not buy used diamonds anyway as even new diamonds can bring in bad luck for some.

    @joccu @partyon @sweetroad and others -- have any seen 'nothing lasts forever' -- the documentary about diamond industry on netflix? I was amused. even before I knew about how diamonds were marketed in 40s-50s to become this phenemenon, I never was personally that interested in diamonds. so it was wryly amusing to find out more truths about the industry. we might as well buy zircon and other gemstones instead of spending so much. what a waste! :joy:

    She was stricken with cancer at the end in MIAV but then she didn't have a revenge, just a self centered over indulged child.

     

    I have watched shows that let off characters - women esp. - attempted murder, kidnapping, child abuse etc. But AR is too much. Nothing less than a 10 year prison time.

    am enjoying that we are getting revenge bonus even from the villain. it is like buy 1, get 3 offer. 

    waiting for GWv2 to wake up and wreck havoc. :D

    We now have a lawyer boy who could figure out his sister is in another woman's body but cannot figure out what the this woman is doing? 

    he is oblivious because he is not attracted to her is my guess. am still wanting him to hook up with the original serin. they had crackle.

    AR is avenging something? The woman has killed an innocent man GW's father, deprived an innocent baby of her mother etc. etc. are they trying to whitewash her with some sob story?

     

    I'd wait for her in the dark and slash her face if I were GW. But she'll get away because GW/SR has been spilling the beans to AR whenever she cooked up some plan to deal a blow at AR. Isn't that smart?

    Ok AR is a victim too. Ptui. You don't get innocent/ clueless people involved in your revenge. SY is YJ's baby so she's fair game? AR has done so many horrible things, she does not deserve a revenge. 

    it seems the writer is going for a more complicated villain -- someone who lost themselves in the process of revenge and became villain themselves. it will be interesting to see if done well. aera will still end up in jail or dead.

    eeeeeeeeee.... amnesia Ju makes me having goosebump when she speaks...

     

    Chingus, correct me if I'm wrong. As far as i could remember when GW gave birth to So Yi,   she was blind, right ?

    Then how could she have known that SY has a birth mark on the right side of her chest .

     

     

     

     

    well, at least she has brains how to court a bf :joy: 

    if I remember right, her family -- maybe her dad or mom -- mentioned that so yi has a similar birthmark to GW..

  16. there is a new drama upcoming..... and it is called lady durian.

    @partyon ~ will you be watching just based on the name? ^_^

     

    apparently the character's name is durian because the makjang writer likes to name her characters after fruit. :joy:

    This is true sweetie, but a small correction. Jang Hyuk has 2 boys and 1 girl. :kiss_wink: His wife was actually pregnant with his youngest child (the girl) while he was filming Fated To Love You, and Jang Nara predicted (correctly) that he was going to be the dad of a girl.

     

    Fun fact 2: started rewatching Fated To Love You yesterday after 9 years.

    oh I thought I rememebered reading it as 3 boys. maybe got confused with another actor. :D but yea, I remember that interview article after the series was finished and his specific comment. 

    enjoy the re-watch. am also re-watching a fav dizi of mine after a few years and am all engrossed.

    also people thank you so much for all your videos/songs. i'm having a hard time deciding which songs to put in the poll, because there were a lot more nominations than places

    no worries; don't add any of them - hahahahah :lol:... I don't think these are popular dramas and so it won't be in many people's list. I was just randomly in the mood to write and am surprised that I managed to share because I find it difficult to write about music since I don't have training or sufficient knowledge. I can hear some things and know what I like but I find it hard to put into words.
