I recently decided to drink more water to help me lose some weight. I’ve only been drinking iced tea for the longest time, that plain water just didn’t taste right to me, and I have to force myself to drink it.

Last night, I was trying to finish a glass of water while playing some games on my laptop, when the inevitable happened. I spilled my water on my laptop. I immediately powered it off, unplugged it, and wiped off all the visible water from the surface. I then used compressed air to try to get as much of the water out – although I didn’t really see or feel any more water. Now, it’s sitting quietly on my desk.

There isn’t really any important data in it, except for pictures from the last couple of months. I’ve been telling myself to archive it already, but was always too lazy to do so. If it successfully turns on tonight, the first thing I’m doing is archiving those pictures.

Crossing my fingers that none of the circuitry got damaged. But if it’s dead – it’s my birthday next month, so time to buy myself a new computer.

UPDATE: It survived, yeah! I guess I’m lucky this time. My husband’s brother had water spill on his laptop just recently, and he wasn’t as lucky. I guess because of that incident, I’ve read a bit on what to do, so I was prepared when it happened to me. Well, I’m keeping my drinks away from my desk from now on. You just can’t tell when another accident might happen.
