All of a sudden my mother speak and said, OK here's a deal. "If this school year you became an officer of the class, not just an officer but the highest position, we'll give you a computer". As I have said on my previous post, I am also in the top of my class and I am not an ordinary student who aims just to get 80 or just to pass is its OK already. Although in my mind, how can I get that highest position as a president of the class.
The there came a time that the classes already started and after several weeks of entering school, comes the nomination of classroom officers. And eventually, I was elected as one of the officers of the class but do you know what position I got? President! hahaha, Yes. I said to myself in an instant I have a computer of my own.
So when I got home, I told my father "Dad, I am the president of our class" and you know whats his reaction? "weh! hindi nga", "hmm, are you sure? I will ask your Ate or your classmates if its true". It seems they don't believe me now that I am the president. Well maybe the truth is, now that I am, they don't have the money to buy me a new laptop or computer. But I understand, its OK if they cannot give it to me this time I can still wait the right time when. My dad called my mom in her office and tell her the news about our deal and they both laugh out loud on the phone maybe because they are scared how are they gonna get me my new laptop.
Unfortunately, I did not get a new laptop but instead my dad gave me his first personal laptop its a COMPAQ V2000 (with 1.8Ghz Intel Centrino, 1G memory, 80GB HDD, Wifi, Bluetooth, Firewire,etc. not bad after all) and said, "you can have my laptop instead Bam and we hope you like it and understand that at this point in time, we don't have enough money to buy you a new one", "this COMPAQ is good so I guess and we hope you will be happy". Although this is kinda old and big because its still 14" but I accepted it anyway and thank them.
Here's a sample picture of my laptop:
who is bam?
