EULOGY TO SONY
There are three kinds of death in this world. There’s heart death, there’s brain death, and there’s being off the network. -Guy Almes
Last night, I found a suicide note from Sony V.
Dear Ross,
I have lived a long life where once I was useful. I now realize that my mental state is quickly declining. I do not have that power and speed I once possess. I know how you cared for me, especially when I was infected with a terrible virus. I saw your pain.
My mental lapses are too much to bear. Every time I collapse, I saw your desperation…your endless search for help to find your missing “part” in me.
Today, I am taking matters into my own hands. Before I sign off, I want to thank you for all the good times. You turn me on every time I see your eyes gleaming on a new day. I am happy feeling your warm touch as you end your day. I promise to keep all your secrets. I am taking away with me everything you’ve given me.
Goodbye,
SonyV.
Soooonnnyyyy Vvvvv!!!
Who is SonyV?
It was a magical day when I first met SonyV. He was sitting near the window. There was something about Sony’s onyx lines that captured my attention. My friend handed me Sony’s credentials and I was impressed by his skills, IQ, memory and power.
That very moment, I knew Sony’s the one I have to spend my life with. I went near Sony, touching his exquisite body. Teasingly he said: “You can’t afford me, baby.”
I can’t resist the burning desire to be with SonyV. I decided to risk and paid for all his worth! I took SonyV home consenting to his condition that he has to be with his inseparable friends. I agreed to his desire.
SonyV moved with ecstasy as he saw his throne inside my bedroom. He treated me well. I would come home from work and find him waiting for me. His body lighting up as I gently run my fingers on his keys.
As I sit on my chair watching him perform before me, boasting all his power, I can hear his adorable sound letting me know he is ready to serve me. As soon as he reaches his top form, his friends would eagerly assist him for my pleasure.
My life then became a sort of “manage a trois!”
Ross sobs as she recalls her life with departed SonyV and continues.
SonyV and his friends were my inseparable companions. They gave me joy . They entertained me. They helped me with my project…everything!
SonyV had a powerful voice, filling up my room together with his friend, SonyV’s Media Center. SonyV sung beautifully together with my itunes.
SonyV together with his buddy, Mister Internet brower gave me all the informations I wanted. They showed me all the beautiful places I needed to see and hooked me up on dates with unknown faces inside the chat rooms.
SonyV and his multi faceted Adobe friend helped me with my projects, creating together beautiful works of art.
We enjoyed each others company for many years.
One day SonyV changed. He became temperamental, refusing to turn on or off on occasion. He would suddenly freeze while I was in the middle of writing a document or downloading a file from the internet. I would boot him up and he would open up very, very slowly. He was changing.
Last night, I found SonyV completely…
**Ross clutches chest ** … gone!
I tried everything: rebooting, unplugging, holding the buttons down for long moments. Trying F1-F12, the dummy that I am who still doesn’t know their functions! But SonyV didn’t come back. Not even after Computer Repair admitted him.
Just like that, SonyV and his friends left me together with all my files, all my photos, all my music!!!
My SonyV, my love, the center of my life. How could you do this to me? Leaving me alone in this cold hard world. Turning you on was my joy every morning, and shutting you down was my last thought before I sleep. How will I survive without you, how will I find all my media files, all my documents now?
What will happen to Quotes in Can now?
SonyV…I will think of you continually. Everyone will hear of your wonder and passing away.
I will go on but it will not be easy. Where ever you are, I will forever regret your loss. I love you and I will miss you, my Sony Vaio.
In loving memory,
Your administrator - Ross
P.S.
To my readers, this is one reason why I will not be posting regularly as before… I’m grieving for my Sony’s death and it will take me months to replace him again.
For the time being…browse around my posts and if you can memorize all my quotes while waiting for a new post…please do so!
I hope you will understand…*sniffs**

this entry’s so funny… and filled with “passion” hihi. :p am not going to look at my pc the same way ever again. you’re so good when you play with words.
Ross, so sorry to hear(read) about Sony V. I’m sure you’ll find a better replacement naman kaya lang you’ve grown attached to Sony V kaya it’ll never measure up siguro.
Hahahah… Nakakatuwa itong post mo. Parang bf ang dating, Ross!
Happy Monday! And may you find a replacement soon
hahaha ang galing naman… pwede ka na sa maalala mo kaya…
maybe sony V had a data overload just like what happened to my “Bosero”.he almost died last year, buti na lang naagapan ko sya sa computer shop. but he had a terrible amnesis. he can’t remeber all my previous files kaya ayun.. hehehe nawala din lahat parang bula.
it’s so funny how we bloggers treat our computers as best friends hehehe.
oops its amnesia not amnesis….
Santa Pace speriamo bene !

Ipagpatawad niyo po, pero hahah sensual ang dating sa’kin nu’ng mga unang bahagi. Me and my naughty mind.
Pero, taos-puso akong nakikiramay at nakikisimpatya sa pagkawala ni SonyV. Harinawa’y nasa payapa na siya ngayon.
SonyV., lubos akong nagpapasalamat sa’yo dahil sa’yong walang-kapantay na pakikipanalig kay Ate Ross sa paghahatid niya sa’min sa mga makabuluhang mga bagay tungkol sa buhay. Mahal na mahal ka namin.
Ate Ross, easy ka lang diyan. Miss ka namin lagi. Just hold on in there. Things would be back. *hugs*
hmp, sa yo pala napunta yang si SonyV. crush ko pa mandin siya dati pa, the first time i laid my eyes on him. naalala ko pa, cover siya ng isang magasin noong una ko siya nakita. tapos, i stalked him sa mga malls. kaso, hindi niya ako minahal. ayaw niya sa akin. ayaw niya sa isang hampaslupang katulad ko kasi hindi raw siya cheap at hindi ko kayang tustusan lahat ng luho niya.
kaya pinigilan ko na lang ang damdamin ko para sa kanya. tapos, naging crush ko rin yung pinsan niya. Sony rin ang pangalan nun. pero magkaiba sila ng apelyido. HDV naman apelyido ng pinsan niya. i found out ganun din siya, tulad din siya ni SonyV na mapangmataas.
sinaktan nila akong dalawa, ross. sinaktan nila ako hu hu hu hu
hmp, sa iyo pala napunta yang si Sony Vaios na yan. crush ko siya dati, the first time i laid my eyes on him. cover siya ng isang magasin dati. poging-pogi. tapos i stalked him sa mga malls. pero hindi niya ako minahal. hindi niya ako nagustuhan. dahil sa ako’y isang hampaslupa daw. hindi raw ako mayaman. hindi ko raw kayang ibigay ang lahat ng luho niya.
tapos naging crush ko naman ang pinsan niya. Sony din ang pangalan, pero iba ang apelyido. HDV naman. pero ganun din siya. pareho silang dalawa. mapangmataas din si Sony HDV. ang gusto raw niyang chicks ay mayaman.
sinaktan nila ako, ross. sinaktan nila ako…hu hu hu
Hindi ka nag-iisa Bea, masyado syang mapili…inirapan lang ako, Purita lang daw ako…
Ros, yan ba yung dala mo nun na pinakinig mo sa kin sa Max?
Makakahanap ka rin ng kapalit…syempre iba pa rin ang pers lab…pero makakahanap ka ng mas makisig at mas tatagal….
Poor Sony, and poor Ross!
hehehe, miss bea, nakakatawa naman yang heartache mo. hehehe. ang cute.
@miss iva: hello po. hehehe, feel na feel ko kasi yang post na yan ni ross kasi dahil sa post niya, nagbalik na naman sa alaala ko ang heartache na dinanas ko sa magpinsa na yan. kaya nga sinabi ko sa sarili ko, aahon ako sa putik!
@ross: yaiks, i have two comments with same thoughts. pakibura na lang po nung isa dyan. yung una kasi, hindi nag-a-appear after i clicked the Submit Comment button. so i decided to rewrite it and send it again. thanks.
I agree entirely. I have a Sony KD-34XBR960 and I love it!! I see all these people shopping for a new television and they are enamored with the lcd and the plasma displays but if they could just see the beauty that a crt display possesses they would of wished they had bought one.

Hello Ben,
Thank you for passing by my site.
Yes, Sony is the best for me…my TV, computers, camera and camcoders, playstation, my home entertainment are products of Sony…I think they should give me a gift for being a die hard fan and loyal client
Jake,
Maraming salamat sa pakikibahagi ng aking kalungkutan at hanggang ngayon wala pa rin syang kapalit sa buhay ko…mahirap mag move on
Wag kang mag alalala…napansin ko rin yun kaya binago ko ang stilo at baka kung ano ang mangyari sa makabasa, kasalanan ko pa!
salamat sa hugs…
