Finally I had my medical exam for my greencard application done last week. Tomorrow, we'll go back to the doctor to picked up the form and submit it to USCIS.
The exam went well and fast which is to be expected coz I don't have any health problems, so far and hopefully never. The doctor's only comment is about my teeth. I have couple of cavities that needs to be taken care of as soon as possible before it becomes a problem. So he referred me to a
Plano Dentist as one of the best one he know. Other than that, I'm good to go.
I'm so glad that finally, our
laptop is working again. It has not been working properly for a few months. I thought I already did my best to fix but I was wrong. One day I was surfing online and just happened to saw a forum that discussed the same problem we have with our laptop--turns off automatically without any warning. It was mentioned that the common cause for such problem is just overheating. So I did the suggestions posted in that forum and it truly worked. Now, it's my turn to share with you on how I fixed our laptop.
First, I opened its cover and check if the fan is full of dust and wasn't performing properly. The fan in our laptop is a little bit dusty but it was still running normally. It's not making any weird noises and such. But I still cleaned it anyhow. I also cleaned the inner part of the laptop to get rid of more dust. Then, I found another suggestion in the forum that if it would've been posted earlier, I should've done it first before I opened up my laptop, but oh well. Anyway, what he said and I did is adjust the
processor performance. By default, it is set to maximum, so I set it to middle. After that, our laptop has been working properly again.
Now, I am able to update my blogs regularly and do more online activities coz I don't worry about the laptop shutting down on me in the middle of whatever I'm doing and it was so annoying. So, if you have the same problem as mine with your laptop. You may try doing that things I did and it may work for you too.
It has been 3 weeks since and I got my employment authorization card that proves my eligibility to work in the US. I have been searching jobs since I got it and guess what, I still don't have a job up to now. I'm wondering what could have been wrong. What's sad is there are lots of open jobs in our area (Austin, TX) and I applied for every jobs that I think I qualified but up to know, I didn't have a single interview yet. But I'm not giving up any hopes. My husband said it's too early for that.
Most of the jobs that I am looking for is in line with customer service coz that is where I am experienced at. I worked in a call center for two years where we troubleshoot networking devices and provide 100% customer satisfaction, for 2 years. I also worked as cashier in a department store where we are also required to render great customer satisfaction while we operate
POS systems.
Those are my only jobs so far though and I have them back in the Philippines. Now I am hunting for my very first job here in the US. I don't think it's easy, but like I said, I am not giving up at all. Just wish me luck!
Our laptop is starting to slow down its speed again. I always hate it whenever it happens coz it affects everything I'm doing online that requires Java application and such. I already know the reason why it slows down though, it doesn't have enough memory to accommodate my files.
I'm trying to minimize my downloads and files being saved in the computer but it's just so hard when you have a lot of online endeavor and things seem to be easier done in the computer than any other things such as making documents, searching something, etc. That's why I need to have a stock of
memory sticks so that I can just save my files in it rather than in the computer. Then I won't need to use up my computer's memory.
So, since my birthday is coming up. I put memory stick as one of my birthday wishlist. Hint, hint, hint!
