Victor and I are over. Even though I didn’t want to end it, I had to. I had lost all trust in him. I had read evidence of his “foul play” and he denied that it was of his doing when I had confronted him about it. He convinced me that, “Nothing was going on” and I let it go, until I read more evidence of a couple more “incidents” and yet again he would deny it when confronted about it.
I couldn’t live with it anymore but I didn’t want to end it completely with him. I hate being lied to. I didn’t know what to do…
So with my uncertainty and my brainwashing by others in my life… I was taken over to Victor’s place, last night by my brother to collect my last bit of belongings that were still in the apartment. And I had to tell him that our relationship was over.
I didn’t want to end it but I had to do so, “Or else…”
My computer blew up this afternoon.
I sat down at my little desk and turned on my computer. I entered my password at the Windows logon screen and waited for it to load… Yet it didn’t, it just went off. So I pushed the power button again but it didn’t turn on. I thought that maybe something was up with the power cable and that maybe unplugging it from the tower and plugging it back in would work. So I sat on the floor and put my hand over and behind the tower and just as I was pulling towards me, ever so slightly; it happened…
It buzzed and cracked with blue sparks coming from the power supply and then it blew, for lack of a better word. The power of the house went out and smoke that resembled that of a lit cigarette streamed out from behind my computer tower.
I quickly called my father and told him what had happened. He then called me right back and told me to get ready to take it to the computer repair store. I unplugged my monitor, webcam, speakers, keyboard and mouse while I hoped that each were not harmed. Thank God that my external hard drive was unplugged, I had just picked it up yesterday from the post office (Cameron gave me an external hard drive Christmas!) and I had backed up only about half of my files onto it last night.
The guy at the service station of the computer store tested the power supply, motherboard and RAM… All were blown. He said that my two 40GB hard drives should be fine and so that is what I brought back home with me. Hopefully they are fine and that I could transfer the files to the hard drive of a new computer; that is as soon as I can get one.
I don’t know when I will be getting a new computer as I only have about R300 and my parents have to pay for other things that are far more important anyway. Hopefully it will be soon though.
So I guess that this here website is on a hiatus until I have a new computer and internet access setup in my bedroom. I’ll be using my father’s computer to browse the web a little every now and then. I don’t feel like blogging that much after how terribly my new year had started off… Things have drastically changed between Victor and I. Oh and I am now living with my parents because I had to move out of the apartment. I will be writing about all that sometime but it will be a private post or members only.
I’ve been thinking about making some things only visible to those who I think are worthy of access to my most private thoughts and other personal things. I’ll see…
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve; oh how time flew by…
Victor and I will be spending Christmas with my side of the family this year. I guess we will be spending next year’s with his family in Welkom. We’ll see.
This Christmas is going to be uncomfortable because Victor and I can’t afford to buy any gifts. I bought a little something for my youngest sisters when I was last at Hillfox; so they’ll obviously be getting something. Victor already got his gifts because he just couldn’t wait till Christmas for them. He got a Magic: The Gathering deck and a few booster packs that I ordered a while back and got them the other day.
My cousin that was studying in the USA and is back in South Africa where she will be continuing her studies. She kindly accepted several items that I purchased at Amazon on my behalf as Amazon doesn’t ship those items to my location… And would give them to me when she came back to South Africa, which she did. I still want to give her a little something when I can as a little “Thank You” gift; even though she insists that I don’t have to.
I took photos of my little Christmas trees the other day and wanted to share them. One tree is in the lounge and one is on top of the cookie tin that is on top of our small refrigerator. My mother gave me the one in the lounge, along with a reindeer plush toy to add to my little Christmas area.

Anyway, I hope that all my website visitors a merry and joyful Christmas this year. May you get some lovely gifts and have a good time!
