Lost at Pohnpei

This almost three year old MacBook started to make noise since December of 2009. I had it checked up at the PowerMac at Trinoma and it was serviced. However, the noise didn’t go away.

Thankfully, Jhong of Qlick Café, knew what to do. He operated on my mac and found out that it was the fan that caused the problem. The operation was a success. My Mac was silent for a while, BUT, it was only temporary. I learned how to open my Mac and clean the fan myself from an online “how to” site.

My MacBook is still making a lot of noise;

What are the options that I have while I am here at Pohnpei?

1. Take apart my Mac just like what I did back home. But I would need to find the website and have it available online while I operate on my Mac.
2. Buy a new Mac. Uhm… not the most practical choice, but that would definitely take care of the problem.

We’ll see.

For the meantime, I would just do my best to ignore the humming and buzzing.

Climbing up the hill brings generous rewards, it’s a good form of losing the excess calories, a chance to feel that there were muscles that still work, and a rewarding feast waits at the top.

Out of frustration from my noisy Mac, the boys decided to go out and hang out at our favorite restaurant up on the hill, Cupid’s Bar and Grille. We ordered our favorite appetizers and even had baby back ribs that time.

Our numbers have increased and this time, the orders were plentiful. The drinks kept coming and so did the food. I said to myself that it’s okay to be frustrated to my Mac if I’d get the chance to do this again. Well, that’s just me talking, of course.

Song after song, the guys sang their hearts out. These peeps, knew how to enjoy the night.

Before we called it a night, some of us went to “Club Flamingo” to burn the extra calories from all the food and drinks.
