Internet

I thought I was the only one looking forward to our chat sessions every weekend. 
Apparently, Andy was too.  The computer was down almost one month now.  Dang those motherboard and warranty repairs! Grrr! After 3 times of sending the dang thing to the store (and sending to Manila too!), we finally decided to quit sending it too the store and just buy a new board altogether.

This afternoon, they were able to get the system unit back home and they were excited to try out.  The computer was working alright, the Internet connection was not! haaay.

I wondered why they did not go online.  I stayed in the office till about 5pm to wait for them.  When I got home, I received a text message from mama telling me to call home and that Andy wanted to talk to me.  I got worried. What could it be.

Alas, she was very upset that the internet was down.  And I had to think of an explanation acceptable to a three year old.  To calm her down and let her go to sleep. 
I was actually happy... At least my hypothesis was disputed that my baby doesn't really think much about me.

I love you little girl!  A few more months until I go home for vacation.

Finally

I have purchased my own dot com! :) yahoo!  Getting your own domain really is exciting.  It's not just because all your adolescent life you actually wrote on your notebook, book cover, or wherever else something like myname.com/ yourname.com .  Now it is actually a reality.

And I thought that getting your own dot come was a superscience by itself! Haha! Think again.  With some paypal load and a little knowledge of installing wordpress plus loads of friends who help you with it... voila!  Come and check out moniquezamora dot net. :)

Free Google Apps, Anyone?

Now that I have successfully (duh!) bought the domain name and connected it to my blog, the challenge of getting the email using my own domain is next.  That's the problem I think of not getting your own hosting plan.  I never really thought of it until now. 

Previously when I bought the other domain, I was able to get an email with @myowndomain.com.  Now, I hope to get one with the domain above! lol.

My IT flatmate casually mentioned that I can probably use Google apps. And when I checked it, well, they have removed the free service. Haaay... Are ther even free invites?  I am just here.
