Spick and Span

I clean up my studio-type room in Antipolo. I re-arranged furnitures so I can move comfortably. It's been a while since I did this whole general cleaning. I noticed that there's too much dust on the window pane as well as the AC filter. Who would want to breathe dirty air? the pollution outside is enough to kill me. I'm not sure why there's still a leak on the ceiling I thought we had it repaired many times. 

I miss not having to rent how I wish I can bring our house with me wherever I go. I don't want to leave appliance plugged in before I leave but I'm become more forgetful since I had a minor foot surgery due to an infected wound. 

I still don't know have any idea of the training schedule for our batch tomorrow. We're just told that we'll be on training starting tomorrow and that's about it so we have to stand by for the time being.

I hate surprises.

Wireless Talkie

I'm so excited we got our wireless local loop phone today, it's as simple as a "wireless handset" actually. I think it's pretty cool, you just need to move the antennae to get a better signal. Pardon me, I'm such a novice when it comes to wireless phones we never had one before. My twin sister called my mom who's in Antipolo using our new phone I think they talked for over 20 minutes. We've never had a landline phone here that's why I want to call everyone to let them know haha! starting next month we have to pay Php699/month and it's not on a fixed rate basis since charges will vary on landline rates (e.g. Bayan to PLDT Php4.00/minute). This will add up to our monthly bills but at least we don't need to bother Manong Guard downstairs anymore. If we need to call sick hotline on wee hours of the morning or if we are want to order food it's a lot convenient now.

Trip Down Memory Lane

I accompanied my mom and dad to Raon in Quiapo this morning where she bought a videoke machine. My mom is planning to convert her mini store in Baguio into a videoke bar while my brother is also starting his "lugawan (porridge) business." I didn't realize that installing wires inside a videoke machine will take 2 hours. We had lunch at around 1PM imagine how hungry I was since I had breakfast at 8AM. The original plan is that they will drive me to the apartment but mom had a sudden change of mind she decided to go to Raon. Of course I'm not able to say no since I haven't been there for long time, I miss my birth place sometimes. 

Quiapo look so different now. There are designated areas for vendors now unlike the last time I went there they are everywhere. It is a lot cleaner too. There are too many "rugby boys" around the church before but I don't see them there now. I'm talking about kids addicted to sniffing rugby who does that because they want to forget how miserable their life is. 

Quiapo brings back a lot of childhood memories. I will never forget that mom used to take my twin and I with her to a school supplies store somewhere in Quiapo to buy coloring books for us. We also hear mass every Sunday and eat out as a family. Quiapo will always have a special place in my Heart.

Go Broadband

I finally have broadband Internet. I applied last Friday, had it installed the following day and activated on a Sunday. So far so good, 1MBPS is not bad good. Since my sister and I are renting, we asked for the building administrator's permission to mount the antennae at the roof top on the 7th floor. 

I don't have to deal with dial-up hassles anymore just to check my email or download stuff. I had dial-up Internet for 3 years while others are already enjoying fast Internet because they have broadband and DSL, nobody can use the home phone while I'm online. I thought I wouldn't need postpaid Internet since I don't use it a lot but I realized that I'm paying more for the service that i'm not getting with dial-up so might as well go for broadband for Php999/month which is not bad since it's unlimited Internet.

I arrived earlier I brought our old computer table from Antipolo so I can use it for my laptop, printer and scanner since we don't stay there often anymore.
