Circumlocutory likeness of two dissimilar words

Two pieces of paper and a pen for writing in a contest such as a press con. The first paper will serve as your rough draft, which you may keep as a memento. The second paper will be submitted to the judge as your final copy, which could be your key to attaining victory.

HE STARES AT YOU with his dagger eyes. Then he lifts his fist, fleetingly stares at it, and his squeaking voice says, "You want this?"—my nephew's reaction when he gets annoyed...

Last week, I've seen Jonathan de Quiroz—former USC President in AUF and one of the few Suma Cum Laude and TOSP awardees, in the same school, who graduated in 2006 (to shorten the long description, “high-profile person”)—at the waiting contour of bus passengers. I approached him and he flashed a hesitating smirk while saying, “Hi!” Then he stuttered, "Uh… uh, I’m sorry. What's your name please?"

From ESET Smart Security v3 to ESET NOD32 v2.7

AFTER AN HOUR-LONG DECISION-MAKING, I finally clinched to downgrade my ESET Smart Security version 3 to ESET NOD32 Antivirus version 2.7.
After all, it was an arduous decision!

ESET Smart Security version 3 is the new generation of NOD32 antivirus. It has a personal firewall and anti-spam module, plus all the features of ESET Nod32. (For the full features of ESET NOD32, Smart Security, and version 2.7 and 3 differences, please click in this hyperlink.) In my computer, it's going smoothly well that I don't have any problem about it.

What I like the most is the Advanced Heuristic, a feature that detects “threats” even before they get recorded into the database of the security center. NOD32 v2.7 also has that, actually.

Using the GUI of the v3, however, is so feasible. I feel like there is no thrill because I am overly protected even in the cyberspace (because I use the ESET Smart Security). As well, it is so beautiful with its sliced lime eyes icon and green appearance, just like this one:

Restoring a dead exhaust fan

BEHOLD THE MIRACLE! FINALLY, I hear the thud of the exhaust fan in the laptop once again. In my recent blog (if you read it), I said that I presume the exhaust fan of the laptop is not working that’s why I bought a laptop cooler from CD-R King. Now, I don’t have to use the laptop cooler always because the fan is already functioning.

A fairy tale-like desktop appearance

PROUDLY, I HAVE REINVENTED my desktop (on laptop) appearance. I downloaded widgets and I am just oh-so blissful about it. (This is one of the very few moments in my life that I’m sanguine about.)

How to create this kind of appearance? Well, visit wincustomize.com and play with the widgets, themes, skins, and so and so... By downloading them, you’ll be able to use them without intricate, several-minute installation (that takes just the antonym of the word “several”).

Laptop coolers

CHARACTERISTICALLY, MY LAPTOP HAS an exhaust fan. However, I can no longer auscultate the thud of the fan. It may not be functioning anymore, I thought. All exhaust fans in laptops malfunction anyhow.

The good thing is I bought a laptop cooler from CD-R King. Supposedly, I should have bought a model, which is only Php180.00. However, when I first saw it, I dithered in buying it. Then when I came back, it was gone. So I bought another model worth Php280.00 instead. The model I bought is LSY-69.

LSY-69 is made of acrylic. Its material is transparent; thus it looks more expensive, as if your computer is a Macintosh. It has two brackets, which serve as bases elevating the frontal part of the laptop towards you – it promotes easy viewing so the user may prevent “stiffed neck”.
