This coming June, if my laptop is still working it would be 2 years old. However, last December 25, a fatal accident occurred to my first ever "expensive" possession. (I operationally define expensive in quotes here as not easily purchasable within a month of payroll.) My beloved mother accidentally stepped on it, because I "carelessly" put the laptop onto my bed.
The screen was broken. But i did not automatically have it checked. I tried if it still works. Oh, great it was still working! Disregarding the "lines", you can still view from it. So I kept on using it. Then, vacation time ended, I haven't had it checked it yet. I was too busy that it has been on the bottom of my priorities, since I was using my sister's laptop. (Thanks to her, I survived second sem!).
And last week, I had it checked. Finally! But it was toooooo effin laaaaaaaaate! The damaged severed and irreparable. The motherboard was burned so it shut downed permanently.
With that heartbreaking news, the hope that I can still use my very first laptop, my own hardwork sweat and blood reward to self was gone... gone with the wind. Not only that. Now, I cannot retrieve my files!!!!! the pictures i had years agooooo!!! I recovered the harddrive but I could not access the users in my computer :((
Lesson: LEARN TO BACK UP FILES!!!!!!
But really, the main lesson here is that, I should have been more careful in discerning that one "broken" scenario is already an ALARM, a wake-up call to do something-that is to have it fixed. But, i disregarded that. Now, not only the screen is broken, but the WHOLE unit is irreparable.
Life lesson: Don't treat a simple mistake as simple. Treat it as something worth attending to. We never know its real worth unless, the damaged has been totally irreparable. :(
