Filipino Blog of the Week

Never in a million years did I even think about getting a nomination for the Filipino Blog of the Week at The Composed Gentleman. The same day that the equipment got pulled out from the house, I went out to a nearby Internet cafe to update my blogs and when I checked on my messages on my comment box, I got a notification that this blog has been nominated for the Filipino Blog of the Week.

Not too sure how I’m feeling about getting a nomination actually, but it is kinda cool, since it has been a while since I got nominated for anything actually. Haha. Can’t remember when the time I got nominated as the worst in staying up in class. In short, I always fell asleep in class.

I think the award was called Sleepy Hollow. Imagine that. I was awarded in front of the entire graduating class.

Anyway, if you would be so kind, dear readers, hop on over to The Composed Gentleman and vote for me!

Thanks a lot!

PLDT Customer Service

I work as a technical support representative at a call center, so I should know customer service well. Since I disconnected my service with Smartbro, I contemplated about changing to PLDT I don’t read as much complaints about PLDT than Globelines.

From the office, there’s a PLDT office along the way, so putting aside procrastination, I went to the office to ask about the requirements in getting hooked up with PLDT.

So I walked into the building, I asked the guard on duty about where I can ask about applications. Of course I meant which section and what desk. And he did point me to customer service.

Since PLDT is a Telecommunications company, it’s supposed to have only one central office and the same set of rules, unlike fast food chains.

No More Internet!

To not have Internet at home is like the end of a blogger’s career. Well, in my case, at least. I’m not about to spend more than I have already done so just to keep the blog updated. Renting a computer per hour is way more expensive than having unlimited Internet at home. If you check one of my previous posts, you’d notice that I was already considering getting the Internet connection at home cut off.

And I did.

Finally, I have ended any association I have with Smartbro. At first I was just starting to complain about the intermittent connectio, then they of course promised to send someone out to fix the connection, they even called the day before to confirm it.

Casa Verde

It’s Friday and my Team Lead made sure that the scheduling team gave us the same rest days so that we can have our very first team social day. We basically just went out to have dinner together and of course, it was sponsored by the company that we worked for. There was a budget of course and since it was just the day after pay day, we wanted to spoil ourselves and decided to spend more than the alloted budget. We were just gonna add up to the budget. The team social wasn’t just for fun, it was actually the only time that the entire team could spend together since we have different schedules and then we could also plan out strategies and meet about everything else going on at work. The place that we went to: Casa Verde.

Barbeque Joe’s

Last Friday, August 15th, I was at Barbeque Joe’s (The Walk, IT Park) for the food trip that my blog mates and I have planned to do.We planned the food trip, but not the place where to eat, we were planning to eat at Casa Verde with my team mates, but Casa Verde was so full and we were too famished, so we settled for what was available and for something that didn’t cost us too much of a pretty penny. The place was barely noticeable though, like there wasn’t even a sign, except for the sign taped on the glass door.

Ok, so I had the Chicken Barbeque 1/4 meal and some Green Mango shake to wash it all down. Click to see how it looks like and how much I paid for the meal.

What is your ISP?

Mine is Smartbro. Up until like a month or so ago, my Internet has been doing really great. I don’t really need to have super fast Internet, since what I do is check my e-mails, post in forums, chat and well, occassionally watch videos over the Internet.

Oh, and let’s not forget, blog and extend communities.

Well, since I’m out of the lock-in period of the ISP, I wanted to sign up for the other ISPs, since Smartbro isn’t offering anything better than 384kbps. I would’ve gone for the 768kbps plan of PLDT, but I held back because of a lot of PLDT’s subscribers have been complaining about how bad the service is. Just a few days ago, I went to ask about the service in the nearby Internet cafe, and well, the girl sitting behind the desk was super not pleased with the service.

“PLDT? Duha ka semana way Internet! Patay kaayo ang negosyo!” was what she had to say.

In English, “PLDT? Two weeks without Internet! Business is so dead!”

So needless to say, I was pretty :O and her comment of course scared me into not wanting to subscribe to PLDT. Now what about Globelines? I’ve had some techs bothering me into subscribing to Globelines, but from the forum that I’ve been posting and reading in, Globelines has a lot of subscribers in ther from all over Cebu complaining about how bad the service is, that Globelines has been too busy with getting more subscribers, but don’t care about how their current subscribers are thinking about their service.

So, what is your ISP, and how better is it from Smartbro?

New Blog Layout

As much as I love the look of yichi’s theme, I just couldn’t keep it, because of the comment date error and well, I can’t get it to be centered. So I decided to go ahead and changed it to something blue. If you’ve been to my other blog, Chillaxin’, you’d be surprised at how blue it is. I love that theme and can’t imagine changing it. The only downside to it is that it’s on Blogger. Not that I don’t like Blogger. I love Blogger. If it weren’t for Blogger, I wouldn’t be in the blogging world.

I actually don’t know how to code in PHP, but I can do HTML coding and I know CSS as well. I know enough to notice that WordPress themes run on PHP functions and I have taken classes in C programming, so I guess that’s enough knowledge to know how to read and write PHP.

For now it still looks pretty much empty, but that should changed soon. I just hope I don’t get it too cluttered later on.

Show the Look!

Ladies, when you see someone that you like or are interested in, do you have a certain look to gain their attention? When you give them the look, do they give you a look to match the one that you just gave them? Well, I’ve been playing this little game called the Ultimate Flirting Championship. There’s a widget posted along with this blog entry where you can also play the game.

When you flirt, it seems like, the better your hair is, the better they bite the bait. Now Extreme Style by VO5 game is a fun little game that can get you addicted especially if you are a bored little thing as well.

Well, my ‘look’ isn’t the best, but it gets people to look a lot of times still.

Aside from giving the look, from what I’ve seen people do, they also flirt with the way that they move, speak and even dress. Check out the game that I was talking about earlier.

I’m the kind of person who gets bored very easily, so I like playing this game. And since you’ve already hopped by this blog, why not stay a little longer and play the game as well? I’m pretty sure that since you were looking to kill some time, kill it with the game.
