My ordeal didn't actually end after I got hold of a new laptop and modem. I stubbornly upload the 'cursed' video again to Metacafe.
After the fifth or six try did I manage to successfully uploaded the entire video to Metacafe as the internet connection kept disconnected by its own. Imagine the frustration of having to wait for 15 mins (upload speed was so slowww...zZzzZZ) and nearly halfway through, suddenly the internet was disconnected! Not once but up to five or six times!
At long last, my video was uploaded and a the following day, my internet connection went completely dead! I thought it could be the modem, so I kept resetting the modem. Nah, it was working fine. It could be the wireless router. Nah, I directly connected the broadband jack top my laptop. Still no signal. Lastly, after fumbling, through trial and errors for a few hours, I connected the phone line to a phone. No dial tone. So, my line was dead! The lightning killed it too. Only, it died a slow death.
A quick call to the telephone provider solved all the problems, albeit a few days later. My schedule was tight so I delayed calling the provider. And they arrived the next day after my call.
Ah, so, all's well for now. Here's the video that caused me all the trouble and ordeal. With time, I hope to polish up on my skills. While watching this video, do me a favor guys. Please try not to fall asleep ;)

Sorry For My Disappearing Act...

Especially to all my Entrecard friends who consistently dropped by my blogs to drop their cards. Yeah, I've been missing for a week. You know, I love to make videos. Just when I've made a video, chose the right audio, pictures and story line (Motivational Video), and was in the process of uploading it to the web (Metacafe), then the rain starts. Just when the video was successfully uploaded and was awaiting confirmation, the sound of thunders could be heard far over the horizon.
Patiently, I waited for the confirmation message when suddenly, a deafening claps of thunder roared, the sound so near, I thought I was struck by lightning in my very own bedroom. Luckily, God didn't want me to be with him in Heaven so soon (He must have feared that I would cause havoc in Heaven :) But he didn't spared my modem. And PC. So, I've lost both my PC and modem to Mother Nature.
Now , I've got hold of another PC, how, you may ask, that's easy. I enter a shop, and asked for a new PC, and then PAY UP! That's all. That's real easy right? . Poor me already so poor. Now, I'm made poorer by Mother Nature. On the bright side, I'm still able to bash away at the keypads. The lightning didn't get to me. If it did, it won't be that easy to replace, my delicate body against lightning. Life must go on.
