My Traffic Life

I am Mae German. 34 years old. Born in Mangatarem, province of Pangasinan. I was taught and trained by Juan Dela Cruz, and I am currently being trained for more by Uncle Sam. Writing since the age of 12. Blogging since 2001. I keep a notebook and a pen in my bag, on my bedside table, and inside the bathroom. Misses a lot. Sometimes even my own voice. Loves to laugh. Sometimes even at myself. I am a work in progress. My ultimate dream is to be a SAHM. That is, if I am bound to have that chance in this lifetime... and I am.

My Traffic Rules

Don't take my words personally. At times, not even literally. This is my journal. You're my reader. My spectator. Applaud. Yawp. Yawn. Smile. Frown. Rave. Rant. Or not. Neither can I see you from where I am standing nor can I hear you.

This is not my life. Maybe just a part of it. But this is me meandering through life. My emotions fluctuate. My opinion varies. If it's too hot in here and you can't take it, leave. If it's dull and too cold, go somewhere else for warmth. I won't wipe the frown on your brow.

My stories, unless stated otherwise, are mostly fictional. Fiction could be based on reality. Still, they are fiction. Don't own it. Don't live in it. It is what it is. Leave it.

Watch out for the traffic light. Follow the rules. Cruise.

Green Apple All my life in I.T., I have been a PC-user. I started with a 486 with a paper-white monitor back in the 90s. Now I am using a three- or four-year old Pentium 4 with my decade-old (110v) monitor (which by the way, now lacks brightness/contrast). I work in a PC-based world and was not really given any opportunity to work or even touch a Macintosh until late 2006 and some times in 2007 (thanks to RG and MJ for sharing).

Now, in less than 12 hours, my apple pie will arrive and I will be a certified green apple in the world of Macintosh. I'm actually both excited and a little afraid that it might disappoint me. There's a lot to learn and there's a lot to discover about it.

Will the unit, be able to cater everything that my PC can do (with the bootcamp) as every review that I've read has told me about? Will I finally give up my PC-desktop at home? Will I, someday, be able to tell the world that I am glad I switched to Mac?

I know, one by one, my questions will be answered and little by little the cobwebs will be gone. Everyday will be a learning day and every discovery (of a newbie), I will share...

Join me in this new adventure.

(as much as I wanted to sit in front of this PC and work some more while waiting for my apple pie, I have to run to GBC and join my friends for our usual Saturday late-dinner).

Ciao!
