and I am BACK!

I was just crossing my fingers earlier, wishing that my PLDT DSL connection will be installed today. I was expecting it sometime tomorrow or Monday though, knowing how PLDT is. I followed up through 171, and within 15 minutes, PLDT Zamboanga called me to say that they were coming to bring my modem and install the DSL kit. I have never been so excited about getting DSL my whole life. I guess having to live with using broadband connection in the past couple of weeks made me realize..broadband just plain sucks.

So here goes my PLDT connection speed (Plan 999 Experience, unbundled, so my phone costs an additional P600 or P700)

My thoughts on reading

I am not a big fan of reading e-books, because I find it difficult to read from a computer screen for a prolonged period of time. And I could probably say that I don’t enjoy it as much as a good ol’ paperback or hardbound book, since I have been used to reading from actual books that I don’t really find the thrill in reading novels on my computer. Call me old fashioned, but for me, reading is my outlet where I can relax my mind, and not think of work. How can I not think of work when I’m sitting in front of my laptop, eh?
