Thank God! My woes are over! After a month long battle (chicken!) with telecom companies, I now have a phone line and an internet connection courtesy of PLDT!
So far, my internet connection have been fast and efficient but I am online for only 6 hours or so hehe But what the heck, I am really, really happy. All I miss was our wi-fi connection with Globe but what the heck they can't give a proper DSL connection, so what's the use, right?

Oh no! After my dilemma with GLOBE DSL, our PLDT telephone line died on us! I can't really seem to understand how these could have happened to us simultaneously. Gosh! are we being attacked by telecom companies?

It has been four days since I reported to 173 (PLDT repair line). A technician went to our house yesterday and assured us that by 5pm will be having our dial tone as they have already fix the problem in the cabinet. And all PLDT has to do is to switch ON on their part and we will have our line back. So far, we still don't have a dial tone, no static, my phone is dead. 

Missing a DSL is one thing but lacking a telephone line is a CURSE. *drama* My gulay!

I just hang up the phone. On the other line was a team leader, whom I insisted talking to. "I am friggin' mad" I told the CSR to tell his supervisor slash team leader. GRRR! As usual the supervisor assured me that she will personally follow it up and that our line will be repaired soon. I hope it will not be like my experience with GLOBE. Or I will have no choice at all... 

I am thinking of applying a wireless telephone line, either bayatel or pldt. Will somebody care to share their experience  having wireless telephone with me?

I was supposed to blog about this a long time ago but I guess it kept slipping out of  my mind because of the peste- GLOBE! 

Anyway, every Sunday, I am on a jogging mood with my parents and on one of those instances, I am with my Precious, my Pom. 

After many rounds, we opted to have a quick bite and entered MC DO. Upon entering, we come face to face with the manager who gave us a L-O-O-K. We proceeded and chose a table tucked in another room where it's almost deserted. My dad doggie sit the dog while mom and I went in line for our order. We were not yet near the counter when my dad come out from the room followed by a security guard and the manager. It turned out the manager asked the security guard to tell my dad that PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED INSIDE.  If the manager have told us that this is not a pet friendly place OR EVEN PUT ON A SIGN OUTSIDE  we wouldn't have entered! My poor dog!!! We went to Tropical Hut instead.  Ang arte arte ng mc donald- duck!!

Something magical- duh? happened yesterday! The guard told me that a Globe personnel was at the gate. As I approached the front door clutching the modem thinking that Globe sent the man to take it as previously agreed on when we went to its office last week. In front of my doorstep appeared a lineman from GLOBE DSL! The nerve... the poor guy showed me a  job order dated June 8.... hmmm what date was it yesterday? did they come from Mars hehe It must be confusing! The poor thang asked me if I had a connection already, I said hell NO! Could I try it now because they have been working on it?!? The desperate spirit in me went upstairs and started tinkering and setting up the line and modem but nothing happened. The ADSL kept on blinking instead of steady blink.

Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, surely I can't look that old. Well, you'll love this one.

I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist. I noticed his diploma, which bore his full name. Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my high school class some 30-odd years ago.

Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then?

Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, grey-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been my classmate. After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended DAV Sr Secondary, Chandigarh.

"Yes. Yes, I did," he gleamed with pride.

"When did you graduate?" I asked.

He answered, "In 1975.. Why do you ask?"

"You were in my class!", I exclaimed.

He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, Old, Bald, Wrinkled, Fat ass, Grey-haired, Decrepit son-of-a-bitch asked: "What did you teach???"

For the third week, i am still here at my DH's office trying to blog about our #@% DSL connection! Still no connection at our house. I talked to a CSR yesterday and he was teling me that our barangay couldn't give them a permit and that one of their personnel was jailed but bailed out last week. I remember clearly that another CSR told me that they already secured a permit and it was their area head that secured it on  thursday last week. So how the heck that yesterday this particular CSR was telling that the barangay was not issuing one. I even ask the CSR on what grounds was the technician locked in prison... answer... tatarantaran... trespassing. I sarcastically told him, "in your own property?" and he answered "YES!" This time this CSR wanted me to go and ask for the permit from the barangay myself, what a bull #@! to help them in their problem. It's their problem and I'm stressing myself and paying them. I can't believe how these people can not connect and correlate themselves with their technicians. I have already talked to two of their supervisors and what did they do.... NOTHING! As and added insult to the injury, they have sent me a bill! The NERVE!!!! pweh!

It's been almost two weeks and each day i call twice or thrice in their hotline. I'm having a really hard time with their service and their customer service representative (CSR). Globe is very inefficient. Their technical support and their CSR does not correlate their findings and thus when I call each CSR gave me a different status of my trouble report. I even spoke to their team leader who told me she will do everything in her power to get me a connection but that was days ago. A tech support called me that their technician will be coming by last Wednesday i think, I waited to no avail. HMMMP GRRRRRRR 

The last time I talked to them, they told me about a barangay permit they have to secure to be able to got to their cable cabinet for the repair. That was Wednesday night and the CSR told me that the next day, tech people will be working on our cabinet but surprise, surprise... i'm now in DH office and still no connection at home.

Anybody has the same experience as mine? GRRRRRRR!!!!!!

Wow! I can't believe it... Iphone will finally be here in the Philippines. According to an article found in the Inquirer issue today Iphone will tie-up with Globe- my cell phone carrier!

Every month since we started subscribing to Globe DSL- we switched from Bayan DSL-  last August 2007. We haven't had a single month with perfect, yes, i mean 30 days full connection. At least 1 week of the month, I will have disconnections. Or worse, twice a month, I have to complain to their CS for intermittent disconnections. 

June month started with no connection since June 4. When I call their 919-8888 CS landline to complain, either they drop my call or I have to endlessly wait and listen to their fucking song that repeat over and over again as if testing your patient to wait for someone in their customer service to answer. And when a CS answer my call, they would let me wait for another 5 minutes to check on my account, as if I have not waited enough grrrrr.  When she gets back to me, the report that I am following up last month have cropped up and she tells me that a report for last month (May) have not yet been closed and that they are still working it out. I explain to her that they have already restored connection last May and this June is a NEW problem. The CS then tell me that my connection will be restored the soonest time possible. How soon, I ask. CS can't give a definite time frame. What the #@#  I am a paying customer here. CS would then answer, they will just rebate the service not delivered. Hello..... for every month that I complained for service interruption, I only got twice (?) rebate amounting to PhP 20 pesos not even pro rated for one day and not even enough for the headache that their connection gives me. I don't care about their rebates. I want service satisfaction that seems they cannot do. Terrible! I can't wait for their lock- in period to come to an end. any feedback on PLDT DSL Q.C. area?

I got this from a friend of mine and I think it would be nice to share with you. i especially like number 38, what's your take on this?

January 24- Day 1
From Manila to Ho chi Minh (via Philippine Airlines) to Siem Reap (via Vietnam Air)
After almost a waiting time of 6 1/2 hour at Tan Son Nhat International Airport (HCMC, Vietnam), we had a short 45 minute plane ride to Siem Reap International Airport.
The immigration process is fast as it took us less than 15 minutes to get out of the airport if I am not mistaken. No visa required for Filipino Passport.

1. Picked up by the driver contacted by the hotel and is included in our hotel package. Driver's name is Ponlue surname is Tes. He drives a green Toyota Camry. Most of the cars for hire are Camry and is colored green too!

2. In less than 15 minutes, we arrived at our hotel, Angkor Holiday Hotel- http://www.angkorholidayhotel.com, we got a 169USD package. Includes, as copied from their website, comments inside parenthesis:

January 27- Day 1- 3 pm

1. Changed money at airport, only 10 USD= 160, 000 dong
2. Had a verbal argument with Petrolimex taxi, charging us with an extra 5, 000 dong on top of our arranged fare of 80, 000 dong or the toll fee. We ended up paying the additional 5, 000 dong.
3. Check in at Elios Hotel- http://www.elioshotel.vn/
4. After freshening up, went down and as for directions to Sinh Cafe- www.sinhcafevn.com , Turned out to be just around the corner of the hotel. Book a tour of cuchi tunnel in the morning 8am and half day city tour starts at 2pm until 5pm. All for 8 USD per pax. Tour costs includes airconditioned bus, english speaking guide, mineral water, and nuts. Changed some more USD with Sinh Cafe.
5. Ate dinner at Pho 24 along Ben Than Market. They charged you for those wet tissues (1, 000- 2, 000 dong!) that they serve!
5. Go back to the hotel to take the much needed rest!

January 28- Day 2- 5:30 am

1. Got up early, waited until 6:30am for the breakfast buffet.
2. Went to Sinh Cafe at around 7:30am, we were told to wait as other tour group boarded the bus. We were told that our bus will start boarding around 8 am and leaves at exactly 8:15am for the 2 hour or so drive to Cuchi Tunnel! Experience was ok. We have to pay an additional 70, 000 dong per pax entrance fee- not included on the tour fee. We tried going inside the tunnel. Unbearable heat and lack of breath greeted us face front. After the experience, we were treated with camote dipped in nuts with sugar- (please correct me if I'm wrong! As I don't know what it is called.) and tea. Around 11 am or so, we were called to go back to head on to the bus. Only to be called back again to alight the bus (turned out only 6 of us in the group booked for the afternoon half day city tour). We boarded a van, not a bus, and found two more tourists waiting. The air con was not working well. Along with the fact that the front passenger hoarded the air con all for themselves. We were sweating at the back seat. We were so happy to get back at Sinh Cafe around 1pm. We grab a quick lunch at Lotteria Chicken- their local Mc Donald's. Mc Donald's is nowhere to be found. KFC has branches in HCMC. Then at exactly 2pm, the bus went off to Independence Palace- 15, 000 dong per pax entrance fee, Notre dame Cathedral, General Post Office, War Remnants Museum-
15, 000 dong entrance fee. Back to Sinh Cafe by 5pm.
My only comment with the places we visited are all not airconditioned. So heat works the hell on you.
3. For dinner, we took a Mailinh taxicab (flagdown rate: 15, 000 dong, Vinasun taxi has a cheaper flagdown rate a 12, 000 dong) to Dong Khoi area approximate 12, 000 to 15, 000 dong from Pham Ngu Lao st. We walked towards Ton Duc Thang and have a taste of dinner cruise. We chose Ben Nghe tourist ship restaurant because it was almost full already compared to other ships beside it. Luckily, we were there around 8pm and didn't wait too long for the ship to sail. We had sweet and sour fish and calamares. When we asked for the bill, many items were charged on our account including hot and cold towels and nuts that were served. The cruise costs separately at 15, 000 dong per pax as opposed to the first ship that we ask at 10, 000 per pax. The cruise didn't offer a good view as there was no scenery to view. What a day!

January 29- Day 3- 8 am

1. Woke up a bit late as there was nothing set on my itinerary.
2. Grab a breakfast at the 12th floor of Elios. Incidentally, you have to use the stairs from 11th to 12th floor.
3. We went to see Dong Khoi area in the morning. Most shops are still closed. We enter different malls and finally settled in Parkson Mall to have lunch.

5. After which, Fanny Ice Cream was our next stop.
6. We met a friend, Agnes, who works as a doctor at a clinic near Diamond Plaza and lead us to Quan An Ngon restaurant located at Nam Ky Khoi Nghia st. District 1 for dinner where many tourists and locals flock the place. The place was jam packed when we arrived. Fortunately, we got a table ahead because we were only three pax. We had sumptuous dinner for the price that is so cheap. We had a good time there.
7. We went back to Dong Khoi area and see the rooftop of different hotels like Caravelle, Rex, Sheraton and Majestic.

January 30- Day 4- 6:30am

1. Woke up pretty early we have some serious shopping to do.

4. Quick lunch at Lotteria and head to the airport!

Christmas '07!
As early as November, I have already put up my Christmas tree. It marked the beginning of Christmas for me and every year, I am very excited! Coffee, our new puppy shitzu, was too naughty running around the christmas balls and other decorations that I had him locked in our kitchen. Good thing this year my pet Precious was behaved enough and stayed in my bedroom the entire time.
December 16th, marked the 1st day of my 9 day novena at Mt. Carmel. I've been doing this for almost 7-8 years already. With too much partying this year, good thing Mary the Queen in Greenhills offered an 8pm mass starting on the 15th, I was able to go for total of 3 night in Greenhills. Waking up for the 4:30 am makes me feel sleepy all day. My good friend Cathleen gave me a ride to and from the church and on some days, we had breakfast together. Tonight, I just finished my nine day novena and I felt blessed to be able to complete it.
Yesterday, my family and I went to EDSA Shangri- la for lunch and at El Pueblo for dinner. we had so much fun taking pictures of each other and with Santa at the lobby. Today, I am so happy because Wilson and I had a lunch date in Sonya's garden. More picture taking followed right after!
As I am writing this tonight, I am waiting for the clock to strike 12 so that our nephews and nieces can open their gifts.
This year, I am very thankful for all the blessings that we have received. And hopefully the coming new year will be a fruitful one too!

I want to share to you a thing or two i've learned from this forwarded email:

Lesson 1:

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her
shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a
towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands
Bob, the next-door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll
give you $800 to drop that towel."

After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands
naked In front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and
leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she Gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"

"It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies.
"Great!" the husband says, "did he say anything about the $800 he
owes
me?"

Moral of the story:

If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with
Your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent
avoidable
exposure.

Lesson 2:

A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs,
forcing Her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an
accident. After Controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up
her leg. The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"

The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand
slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember
Psalm 129?"

The priest apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak."

Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at
the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, "Go
forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."

Moral of the story:

If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great
opportunity.

Lesson 3:

A sales rep, administration clerk, and the manager are walking to
lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie
comes out. The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish."

"Me first! Me first!" says the administration clerk. "I want to be
in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat, without a care in the world."
Puff! She's gone.

"Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii,
relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply
of Pina Coladas and the love of my life." Puff! He's gone.

"OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.

The manager says, "I want those two turkeys back in the office after
lunch."

Moral of the story:

Always let your boss have the first say.

Lesson 4:

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small
rabbit Saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do
nothing?"

The eagle answered: "Sure, why not."

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a
sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story:

To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high
up.

Lesson 5:

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get
to The top of that tree," sighed the turkey, "but I haven't got the
energy."

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the
bull. "They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him
Enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next
day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the
top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him
out of the tree.

Moral of the story:

Bullsh*t might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Lesson 6:

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the
bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was
lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the
frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize
how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there
all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
Following The sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of
cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story:

(1) Not everyone who sh*ts on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of sh*t is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep sh*t, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

This ends the 3-minute management course.
