I was chilling, cleaning and making some lunch for everybody in the house when suddenly, the computer shuts off. I thought, "this is odd. I guess it restarted because of an update" and didn't think too much about it. When I'm done, I'm talking to my boyfriend and I want to open the file I was working on the night before.
It showed as if it didn't existed.
I became paralyzed and a chill ran over my spine.
I cried, I went numb, I tried to fix it. My boyfriend gave me suggestions, we asked HP Support, etc. In the end, all the files from my dual hard drive disappeared. I mean, the whole hard drive is non-existent! Along with all my files.
I did backed up the ones before May (YES! THESIS WAS SAVED D:) but not afterwards because I back up every three or four months or so, without thinking that my computer was going to pull this one off this soon. So good thing I saved some of my files in jpegs in deviantart and my portfolio online but still, it's sad, sad!
Good news is that I bought a new computer for own sake without a dual hard drive. And that boyfriend has been very supportive and my cousin Melissa's blog is so good... you should read it! At http://diaryofanillegalimmigrant.blogspot.com/
The bad is what I went through. Not only that but Immigration is being unfair to me in terms of being disorganized about my case. That's a whole story I might write about when it's done and dealt with.
I'll draw to ease my pains...

But I'll post what survived from what I could recover. A picture of one of the ceilings I did for my job:

That's really nice Andrea! Where do you work?
I work for a company called DR Designs and they do murals and faux finishes in houses and mansions from Texas through up north in New York, Pennsylvania and other states. I'm right now doing some in Sarasota :) and this is what survived after my computer went berserk at me :O. I miss you silly!
Aww, thank you so much for the advertizing! I will return the favor. Good luck with the computer stuff, remembert that dear husband is also in IT so if you need help you can always call me and I'll put him on the phone to help you out.
By the way, I just moved and have tons of walls with nothing hanging, *hint-hint nudge-nudge*
Let me know how much you would charge some paintings, the one at the end of this post is incredible! I love it. Sell it to me pretty please?
Melo: The painting on the bottom is a fresco I did on a wall. Sorry I can't take the wall off for you or else I would! haha!
No problems. Your journal keeps me entertained and informed! Thank you for offering the help of your dear husband as well! Well, the computer is one of those things I had my "that's it" moment and I'm just happy that a new one is coming this weekend. Well, if you need paintings on the wall, just call me whenever you can so we can find something that makes you happys, all right? <3 tons of love!
