Globe’s UNLIMAIL Launch and weekend rest (6 Comments)
My Friday night was a busy (and happy) one. Thanks to the Globe UNLIMAIL Launch event that slipped my mind because I didn’t think I’d be included in their guest list. ^^; Jan and I were supposed to just spend Friday night window shopping. Seconds after I proposed that idea to Jan, Coy of ThisIsCoy.Net sent a reminder sms about the launch. I inquired if it’s really alright to go even if my phone wasn’t included in those capable of the UNLIMAIL app. He said it is. Well, there’s nothing to lose if I go and there were freebies. Hrhr~ Being that the venue is new to me, I asked Jan if it’s alright for her to accompany me. The magic word was ‘freebies’ still. *lol* The next problem was how to get there.
First thing’s first — we needed a map. Thank goodness for the existence of Google Maps. ^_^ After printing out a map, I went home first to change and leave work stuff. Jan and I agreed on meeting at Ortigas. I thought I would be late since I would be riding from EDSA. But Jan skipped the train and rode the bus. I was able to finish a book, eat a waffle, smoke, and finish a bottle of Minute Maid while I waited. She arrived after 30 minutes or so in Robinson’s Galleria where I waited for her instead of in Ortigas MRT station. T_T Stupid line and traffic. I got impatient and irritated out of worry that we might not make it to the event. If we didn’t, it would have been shameless of me to even ask Jan to be added in the guest list. ^^;
There were no cabs around, so we rode a jeepney. A jeepney driver told us that our landmark would be Caltex, but we got off the jeepney too early. There were two Caltex stations. *facepalms* I kidded Jan about being too excited to do a walkathon. XD; We found the BlueWater Day Spa after a long long walk. The place looked empty which was odd. I checked my cellphone and read Coy’s message that he gave us the wrong address. O_O It was 4 minutes until 9PM. I was almost disheartened because I knew the event was only from 7PM to 9PM. I called Coy to ask where they were exactly. I forgot that we haven’t met formally and I talked to him over the phone as if we’re friends. ^_^V We went off again in search of the other branch which was just right beside the mall. *facepalms again* Oh well, we learned a lot from that walk — like possible shortcuts, restaurants, spas, and hair salons. *lol*

Aah, sadness… (0 Comments)
I’m in an internet shop again. This is just sad. I miss the net, downloading, and PLURKING 24/7. *lol* Just kidding about the latter.
I’ve kept myself busy with Patapon and icon-making. It’s about time I make icons, since my for-icons images have really piled up. I guess having no net has a bit of its advantages. But we’re not paying for having no internet! I wonder how long I will have to hope for our net to be fixed. -_- I’m almost tempted to buy an internet card. I’m thinking of bringing my laptop to a coffee shop, but I have limited wifi access. This makes me miss my stay at Iloilo where it’s so damn easy to find FREE wifi. Even la paz batchoy restos there have.Last Tuesday, I had my braces removed then I got my retainers on Wednesday. It’s so hard to eat with this on. I can’t remove these though because my teeth are, uhh, soft. They can easily move. I don’t want to ruin my nice teeth anymore. Hahahha~ XD Tuesday afternoon, I went to Mac’s place to hang out. I went home around 9PM and that’s when I discovered that we lost our internet. The customer service made me check a few things like the physical connection. I told her it’s impossible that would be the problem because no one touched anything. After a few minutes, she told me they’d have someone to look at our modem. It’s already Friday. No one’s visited yet. Someone called this morning though. He asked if our internet’s already fixed. Obviously it isn’t. I wish they’d do something about it like NOW. >_>
It’s almost time for me to log out. Until next time peeps! -_-

Unbelievable! (3 Comments)
My download speed in IRC is going at a max of 200kbps!!! This is the first time this happened with our Globe DSL subscription. XD It’s more than we asked for and I ain’t complaining. Hahahah~ XD
Darn, I want the Gintama stuff here.

Site updates and some rl stuff (0 Comments)
^_^ I’ve been fixing my site lately — upgraded WP to 2.1.3, added movie ratings plugin, removed UTW and installed Simple Tagging Plugin instead, added XFN link, and changed the theme a bit. I hope the site looks good in all resolutions. I only doubt this will look good for those who still use Internet Explorer. I also had Marmalade Boy S up again. It’s an old site of mine that I didn’t know became non-existent because T35.com deleted all my files. I uploaded the files here in my domain because it’s a waste to leave it like that. I spent many hours on it. *gah* I was still on dial-up back then! So yeah… URL is still the same. Hopefully people will still visit the site. The site’s target will be the new manga fans. ^_^ Since I’m done with this site (and even uploading those Funfax Horror scans for the heck of it), I can play FFXII again! Yay!
I was supposed to finish those site updates by Friday if it weren’t for that damn Globe DSL modem. ~_~ My parents wanted me to connect the modem to the router since we’re having the PLDT DSL disconnected this Tuesday. The connection was uber easy, yet we couldn’t go online! WTF. I did everything I could with my knowledge. Everything I knew still failed. So I had to ask help from BJ. Haha~ Lifesaver! After 2 or 3 hours, we finally had it fixed. I thought of playing after that, but decided to just update the site and watch Shounen Onmyouji. (Guren is ♥) Shounen Onmyouji’s been keeping me up til 6AM. ^^; I got more episodes that I’ll probably watch later.How was everyone’s Holy Week? I was spent the Holy Week at home. My family and I believes that the Holy Week shouldn’t be spent for having fun. Why have fun when the Holy Week is the time when Christ suffered and died for us? Yet again, not everyone gets a long break such as the Holy Week especially for most of the working force. Thus, these people makes (or is it make? I fail at grammar *boo*) the Holy Week their OUTING week. ^^;;; Anyway, HAPPY EASTER! We had mass last night with Tita Sandra. She went over because she had to bake her hemin bread. I think my parents invited her to join us. She was Maru’s proxy. *lol* Maru will be home in a few days. I wonder if he was able to get me my requests. *tee-hee* I hope he’s not uber depressed. My parents think he is. He hasn’t been keeping in touch and when he does, his replies are mostly one-liners. o_O
Mac and I watched 300 last Tuesday. We’re lucky Greenbelt 3 cinema was still showing it because we went first to Glorietta 4 and they’re not showing 300 anymore. Awesome movie. Awesome graphics. I love all the fighting scenes. ^_^ Ironic how I’ve lately been into guys with great bodies then I watch this movie with more beefy men. Gyahahahaha~ *drools* I’m going to save this post from those of almost-naked Leandro or Cristiano pictures.
Lately, Phoebe and I have been going out at night having short coffee breaks. Tsimisan (gossiping) time actually. ^^ We’re not actually sharing gossips, but news about acquaintances or friends we haven’t seen in a very long time. She’s got some free time now because her boyfriend’s busy with his work. XD Jhan’s still in a kind of house arrest. I also heard of the bad news with her pre-board exam results. I’m sure with a bit more review and studying, she’ll be able to top the actual board exam. ^_^ (Jhan, do update your VOX! I miss you. ^^) I miss my girls. ^_^
You know, there was a girl in Starbucks Walter Mart and I saw her butt crack. WTH. That was disgusting. When I was still in Phoebe’s car, I already saw her. Her back was facing the me and everyone else. If she had a sexy, white ass, I wouldn’t mind because you all know (by now) that I (with my bandmates) like to look or search for pretty ladies. Her blouse was short to cover her back. Couldn’t she feel the wind against her butt or back? Geez~
Alright, I think I’m feeling tipsy. The Carlsberg Chill is yummy. Haha~ XD I should go play FFXII now. :sing:

Hard to concentrate when you’re in pain (1 Comment)
People should move to VOX. Photo and video uploading, making collections, and posting are so easy. ^^ I wish sharing audio from there is the same as Multiply’s. I’m liking their site yet I’m having troubles viewing posts from groups. Unless someone clears me on this, but I find it such a task to visit every group to read new posts. ~_~ The VOX groups feature is equivalent to LJ’s communities, only there is no option to add it to your neighbors (in LJ, you can add community posts to your friends page). The best VOX group I’ve seen so far is the Bento group. ^_^ Because most of the food pics there look so delish, I went as far as adding the group to my Google Reader. XD It’s the only solution I could come up with, so I wouldn’t have to visit the group’s VOX page all the time. It’s actually better than reading from your neighbors or friends pages. VOX’s neighbors is a bit better than LJ’s friends page. It’s got RSS feeds! RSS makes net life easy. ^_~
VOX is great. I’m liking it better than LJ or my domain blog. The only downside is not being able to make your own layout. Embedding seems impossible too. I’ll probably make a comparison on VOX and LJ next time. Just to make people move from everywhere else to there. *lol* J/k!
Hate Globe’s UNLITXT? Sign the online petition. I didn’t sign there. I think it’s asking for the impossible. ~_~ Seems like SUN’s gotten more customers again. Texting is becoming a pain once more. When will SUN’s quality of service improve?
Over the weekend, I had a little break from the internet. I only left my PC on to download. ^^ I played FFXII, had practice w/ my dad, and did the floor plan layout with drainage pipe system. I already had 2 almost-sleepless nights for Plumbing assignments. XD My bp will never ever normalize. Maybe. *lol* I’m already level 34 in FFXII. I’m desperate in making my characters stronger before I go to Archades. Finding out what Reyton’s character’s levels are got me motivated. His are already level 75. I plan on going to Archades when all my characters are almost level 50. XD I’ll finish all the hunts for the meantime. I would have played longer last night if it weren’t for my painful teeth and lower left gum (where the wisdom tooth used to be) and stomach cramps. All my teeth hurts because of the Damon braces. This is the second time I’m having braces, so no need to tell me that the pain’s normal. ~_~ I know that. XP I got braces again because my mom wants to have my lower teeth aligned properly. When the lower wisdom teeth came out, they misaligned the front lower teeth. Then she also wants to have my deep bite fixed. Eileen, Tita Sandra’s bestfriend, put the braces on my teeth. It feels weird having somebody else do mine. I’m so used with my mom. I wish this Damon braces wouldn’t be so thick. My previous braces, although cheaper, was thinner. You wouldn’t be bothered by all the metal in your mouth. But this… Damn… ~_~ If it’s true that results wil be seen in 2 weeks, then this is worth it. I still need to wear the braces up to a year maybe.
Megs, thanks for informing me about HYD2 episode 7. I downloaded it as soon as you told me. XD I added your site in my Google Reader. Hehe~
Rozeh? Your feed is empty. First time I’ve seen an empty feed. ^^;;;

Burning time again (0 Comments)
I fell asleep earlier. ^^;;; I stayed up late last night to review for Plumbing yet our professor cancelled our quiz to Monday.
He even said to Anjo earlier, “Bakit ka pa nag-aaral? Wala naman tayo quiz ngayon.” (Rough trans: “Why are you still studying? We don’t have a quiz today.”) “Age-o-Matic” from Careerbuilder.com — See how your job kills you. *lol* I wanted to try with my picture, but I decided on choosing the skull. I don’t work yet, btw. I tried to assume what I would do with “future” my job. I came out to be a bald, wrinkly, old woman. ^^;;; You know, that’s what I’m afraid of — getting old and becoming wrinkly. Hahaha~ XDDD
What Will Hermione say, Harry? — I don’t see anything wrong with Daniel Radcliffe starring in a controversial play. Why won’t people just see nudity as art? It is, right?
“Nearest book” meme copied off gokumew2
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that “cool” or “intellectual” book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
6. Tag five people.
His brother was like a darker print of Samuel. – The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, p. 123
That was short. XD; I finished reading The Lovely Bones the other night. I finished like less than half of it in one sitting. XD I could hardly put the book down even though I knew I had to review for our Plumbing quiz. *lol* Anyways, I’m going to burn about 2 more DVDs and 2-3 CDs before I go to sleep again. After blogging I should read Liberty Liberty. I don’t remember reading that before.
Last Feb. 1, Globe changed their unlimitxt service to unlitxt. The change doesn’t stop only with the name. They have these:
UNLITXT – Regular all day unlimited texting
UNLITXTD – Unlimited DayShift Texting from 8AM to 4:59PM
UNLITXTN – Unlimited Nightshift Texting from 10PM to 7:59AM
TXTPLUS – Unlimited GHP-GHP texting + P0.75/text to other networks
Globe made me a happy subscriber when they started to offer the unlimitxt service. I think that started last 2005. SUN was so much the hype then. I was one of those who used SUN being that it was cheap and many of my friends used it. There was always somebody to text or call unlike Globe. Then Globe introduced TXTNONSTOP. Yet that was only for prepaid subscribers. After sometime, the UNLIMITXT service was offered. Postpaid subscribers can finally have unlimited texting. ^_^ G2P was offered just a while before that, so it made me happier. I didn’t have to worry whether Globe’s cheating on my monthly bill. Like what happened when I was told that TXTNONSTOP could be used by postpaid subscribers. I texted and texted thinking it was working. Ha! My bill was almost skyhigh that month. XP Anyway, a lot of people transferred back or started using Globe. Although they’re a bit expensive (SUN’s unlimited texting of Php50 was for 7 days while Globe’s was for 5 days only), people still used Globe for the quality of service. Of course, loyal SUN subscribers finally experienced less lags.
People will start using SUN or SMART because of Globe’s mad price increase in their unlimited texting service. Check their plans here. Php80 for 4 days? Compared to Php50 for 5 days, which is cheaper? Geez~ And they say those are value-for-money offers. O_O Crazy. I tried to check if TXTNONSTOP works, but I got a message about their new and EXCITING unlimited texting service. There’s nothing exciting about that.
Mac and I useD Globe prepaids (yep, I also have one even if I got postpaid because subscribing to unlimitxt in prepaid’s faster). Both are free from Mapua. I used Maru’s while mine was with Mac. Due to the new service, we decided to go back to SUN. I’ll still maintain my Globe prepaid… That still depends if I can afford to load that and the SUN sim. I have to check if Globe’s G2P’s working again. I was checking their site. G2P seems to be back. I checked if I could activate mine, but I got a message that my #’s barred. This is the third time already. Was it because I had roaming activated before? O_o That’s odd. It should be fine now. There is a duration limit for the roaming too. I think it’s 3 months. It’s past 3 months since I got back.
*bah* I can’t burn more than 1 DVD already because 2 of the blanks I bought are broken. There are many broken DVDs of the brand I’m buying. I think I’m getting those from the last batch of supplies. It’s kind of a sign that these blanks will run out soon. XP I must buy at least 5 more. Saying that I’m OC just explains it all. XD Aww, I won’t be able to read Liberty Liberty today anymore. Look at the time. *sighs*
