Chat rooms

Ever since we moved here in the province, I had no problems dealing with homesickness because I could chat with my sisters and cousins. Only that our cheapo webcam needs replacement because they cannot appreciate that we got fairer skin here. They would really wonder why the soap that I bought from a cousin showed some wonderful effect on our skin yet we have probably the most icky water around the archipelago. Wohoo! When we do get a better webcam, I could also chat with my online friends abroad without them asking over and over again why there’s a lot of mosquitoes on the screen. Read the rest of this entry »

Peace

What a day! Early morning I tried to work, like any other day I will be in and out of the tool. Since my schedule is 5 pm to 1 am, I can work only during morning until early afternoon when the queue is high. Then off again whenever queue drops. After I logged out the second time at half past 8, I discovered I could not get in other sites and was redirected to Smart Bro page. We called Smart Bro and they said our internet connection is temporarily disconnected. WHAT!??!!!! Donald has paid one month bill yesterday through LBC so I asked why. The lady said I have to wait 3 working days before my account get reactivated again. And since I have two months balance all in all and was now temporarily disconnected, I need to settle the whole amount I owed them. I almost yelled to the lady that I have not paid the whole two months bill because they still owe me a refund or rebate for having NO internet connection for A WEEK last July. Thinking I am still the one on the lossing end here (since there is no other internet provider here in the province and that I really need to have my connection back so I can work), I sent Donald over to pay the remaining balance. Then I called them again and was told I have to wait for 24 hours before I get reconnected. Maybe they are just afraid of me being from Mindanao, that I may send them over a batallion of MILF (just kidding!), they reconnected my internet at half past 4 in the afternoon. If only they did not act that quick, I will definitely blog about how bad their services. In fairness to the lady whom I got to talk (and almost yelled), she accommodates very well and is very professional in handling customers. I honestly could not do her job. Maybe I would yell too or just hang up But I also thought, maybe they always get the same call each day and they are used to raging complains that they developed this sense of peace while talking to a dissapointed customer.

Other than this event, my day went well. Ella went to school like usual. When she arrived from school, she began her oration of thanking God that we had a TV All she did was play with her babies and watch TV while we tried to take a nap. The heat is making me more nauseated. When I feel sick, I hold it as much as I can. Throwing up makes my heart palpitate and I hate the feeling like I was drowning.

We did our grocery shopping in the afternoon. Just picked some items we need and headed home. Donald put together the screen that we used before in our store and put the chicks inside. They are growing fast. We are laughing at their sizes…like DO RE MI FA. It is good they don’t have the same sizes so in time for them to get in the pan, we can butcher one at a time.

We got company!

Wohooooh!!!! My internet is back. For 24 hours I was going crazy about not being online. Donald called Smart this morning and was told we will just observe for 24 hours as other sites are having no problems, only with our site here. I think it is God’s plan as the other brethren from Davao arrived in the morning for tomorrow’s ladies’ and men’s class. So I had time to fix them coffee, lunch and dinner. Uncle Dencio, the preacher from Davao, and his wife Ate Leah were staying with us. They are old friends of ours and we had a nice time catching up together. I fixed the other room for them. I hope they can sleep well there as it only has single bed.If only I had money, I will get a room for them at the cheap hotels or inns here in town.

Slowly but surely

Geee…I have just finished doing the laundry this morning and my back really gives me pain As usual I have an ever supportive assistant. I did the rinsing while Donald did the hanging…and Ella…Oh yes, we have a daughter! I almost forgot. She was busy on her surveys around the neighbors yard I called her for a shower when the last piece of cloth was hung, after her ’twas my turn. We went to the market together. Yes TOGETHER…the three of us. Like lion, lioness and the cub out of the jungle. We have to order Ella’s birthday cake since we do not have oven. It was real hard here, bakers are hard to understand what they are trying to say. Read the rest of this entry »

Rain…rain…go away…

Last night as I was writing my post here, there’s trouble with my internet connection. I wonder why it does have an x when it was not raining. I asked Donald to call Smart Bro and was told that there is a problem with the connection. So in the morning while I was still in bed, I heard Ella climbed down from bed and went outside. Then a few minutes I heard Donald calling Ella and it sounded like the voice comes from up in heaven Read the rest of this entry »

Happy Tuesday!

I didn’t get to write yesterday and I didn’t have much time to check on all the blogs either. I was up the whole night last Sunday and my body clock needs to be restarted I guess. I worked on my assignment on my online job the whole time and I realized it was not easy. I was telling myself…Heler….there’s no easy job you know…and you just got to love the job and that’ll make it easy :-) So what I did was enjoy every bit of it, at least I got to learn from the lenses and hubs I am reading.
