…of all my music! But I am getting ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning. I was trying to charge my iPod touch. It is one of those versions or generations which still uses the older and bigger charger. And I cannot find the charger for that. When I found the right cord, I cannot find any plug. Since the other end of the plug is a USB port type, I thought I can just charge it through my laptop. Yes, and no. It turns out that when I plugged it in my laptop and decided to walk away to work out and toss some laundry in the washer, my laptop decided to sync my iPod thereby wiping it clean. I really do not know what went wrong, because I thought there will be a prompt to ask if I wish to sync it, and even so, there will be a warning message that the iPod will be wiped off if it is not the computer that I used to sync it the first time. I did not find any prompt or warning message at all. Suffice to say, I am so pissed at myself for letting it happen. From a good collection of hundreds of songs, I am now down to 8. Now I have to build up my playlist from scratch all over again. Oh well!

I never had an ipod and I did not knew that you could not charge an ipod by USB. It would be a disaster for me, and I have a complete backup of my player. I am really sorry for what happened to you.

It was a lesson learned. Technology may be great but it is not without its failings as well. And mine.

Yeah, but I guess I have no one to blame but myself. Lesson learned.
