Miss Wilhelmina

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.

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.

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?
