Precious Moments

When you’re far and away, you kinda miss this.  Hehehe.

Months back, I’ve read a friend’s intro to one of her photo albums in Multiply that Yahoo photos is closing down.  I didn’t give it much thought assuming her info  might be one of those chain emails claiming this and that are closing down. 

Huhuhu.  I should have checked it as soon as I could.

Today, I thought of browsing through past pictures which I have saved in my Yahoo Photos accounts.   I have been saving pictures in my account since 2005. 

• I put them there so as to save disk space.
• I saved them there cause they remain private until I decide to share them to  some chosen few
• I safekept all of them, even those not good enough ones to merit printing, just for the sake of saving them.

I lost my breath for a second as I read the warning when I tried to log in to my account.  And I was literally breathing hard when I could not get to my photos for quite some time.

Good thing I stuck with browsing and just answered some survey and then my photos appeared.  Whew!!!  I was relieved.  For a while I thought I’ve lost them forever - years of precious moments captured in pixels.

I now have some new storage media with me.  I’m sure this photo transferring thing is going to be keeping me busy for some time.

Uhm, at least your first name

I just sent one of my friends my birthdate , which incidentally was yesterday-May31, for her Birthday Alarm Calendar.  On the page was a tiny box tempting me to fill up my name by asking a very curious cat like me a not-so-tempting question, "How popular are you?".  With a lot of curiosity and a bit of self-love (bit daw oh?), I typed my name and here’s the result.

Jasmine - Means: A Flower in the Olive Family Decade Popularity Rank 1900’s >1000 1910’s >1000 1920’s >1000 1930’s >1000 1940’s >1000 1950’s >1000 1960’s >1000 1970’s 481 1980’s 87 1990’s 25
