My passport arrived early today. No, its not a passport that you can use to get out(?) of the country. Its my portable hard drive, a western digital my passport. I bought it in Ebay and although I was a bit apprehensive about buying something from someone that I have not seen, especially if it involves cash more than a few hundred pesos. But it did go through and I spent the whole day backing up my files. My laptop started acting up when I was backing up, it must have sense that it was about to get ditched. Well, not really ditched. I am going to have it repaired next week, I will be sending it back to Manila so that I can use the warranty service. Most probably it would need to have a total make over, the lcd needs to be replaced, the right hinged needs to be replaced as well and I am quite sure that they would replace the computer memory too. I am planning on upgrading the memory to 3G but its not quite concrete yet, I need to know beforehand what the damage to my pocket will be. 
Anyway, I ordered a red WD My Passport but got a blue one instead. I would love to have the red one but the blue one will have to do, anything but the generic black one. I deleted all the packaged software and installed my portable apps in it and backed up all of my files in another partition. I am booting from the WD hdd right now and so far everything is running smooth.
