 - I was into my usual mood of blog hopping when I came across your blog and got interested with the way you handle your topics. I forgot the specific details of that matter. :)</description>

					<description>^^ lala &amp;#62;&amp;#62; I’m thankful I’m online at the moment.

me too!!! i can't imagine a world without internet... well, i actually i can. but i'd lose half of my money-making rackets if the internet became extinct. so, i'm still thankful i'm online too!

^^ ealden &amp;#62;&amp;#62; yes, the wonderful service level agreement. too bad it's not worth much in a monopolistic industry. hehe. at least we don't have to wait for 10 years to get a phone line anymore. i

agree, we can only look at the bright side of things for so long. it's only a matter of time when people start a riot or something. it is, i believe, in the same way that i can only stomach a blocked torrent port for so long. it's only a matter of time until i start my own telco. hehe. investors, anyone?</description>

					<description>If you do a project for something, suggested a feature, and had it down in paper, then you better deliver.

Same goes with this.

I agree with all the advancements and what not, but a good idea is nothing until you actually deliver it.

To an extent, I'm happy because people are actually asserting themselves.  The worse thing that could happen (which already did actually, in the OS world at least) is lowered expectations: putting up with all these viruses and crashes, as well as putting up with severely long downtime and broken promises from tech support.

Then again, there's the issue of too much expectation, whether that stemmed from hype, or the occasional taste of burst speed.

Looking at the bright side is always nice.  But that can only go so far.  In the end, someone gave the service, and that someone must be accountable not out of SLA, but out of good will and good business.

(but it's a monopoly. tsk)</description>

					<description>Pipboy, incidentally I am in the middle of writing a post entry focusing on positive things and how grateful I am about certain things/people/places. Actually it may seem shallow (like the rest of what I write) and I haven't really finished it yet.  

It was refreshing to read your blog. Although I am not much of a techie, I got the gist of things.

yes, PLDT does have a good side.
I'm thankful I'm online at the moment. :)

Keep on writing! 

I discovered that surfing the net isn't the only fun way of surfing. That's a hint for my next entry :p</description>

					<description>&amp;#62;&amp;#62; - the thing is, most people tend what they want to see… and that is… the bad… they wouldn’t care less much about the details… for them, it would just be, blah, blah, blah…

i think at this point, our plantet is full of geniuses already. what we need are more critical and analytical people, careful of their surroundings. people who do not belong to the &quot;most&quot; category that you speak of.

&amp;#62;&amp;#62; anyway, I’m now considering this site as one of my “guilty pleasures”… he, he… 

i am honored to get into your blogroll of guilty pleasures. if i might ask, how did you come across my blog?</description>
