PLDT Billing Adjustment is just a lie

Greetings! I just want to share my experience in this what they call PLDT billing adjustment as of year 2018... Well, thing is... I live in the Cordillera... and we just had a typhoon set loose in our region. If you know Typhoon Ompong, where there are lives taken and properties or houses damaged.. we also experienced power outage or black out. And of course since we are connected to PLDT line... so is internet and land line was out... This is indeed understandable... and for almost a week, we had no internet as well as our current / power.... If I remember it right... Saturday early morning when the typhoon arrived... and so started the loss of power... our current came back by Friday... but no internet or land line yet... saturday came.. no internet... so in the evening I got to call their hotline or customer service... of course as usual they make us do things to check whether we really don't have internet connection... which actually for several times I did before calling... being someone who is also an IT... I think I get the idea... but anyway just to make things faster, i just obeyed their protocol... and soon after there was still no net.. so they said.. they'll continue to check on it and if necessary would send their technician over... and thing is, the customer service rep. instructed me that once the internet is back, I should call so that there could be a billing adjustment.. which made me feel happy a bit... indeed why pay a week of no internet? that was really logical and customer service.... and so, Sunday came early morning.. no net yet... but by the afternoon, the net came... so I called their hotline again, following the instruction of the customer service rep... thing is, it is not the same customer service rep. of course... then he instructed me to call again when my ticket ref. was closed and best to call before 7pm.... so i tried to call again when I had the time.. thing is.. by the time I called ... still my ticket was not closed... so I had to wait again... then for quite a long time.. my ticket ref. was closed... then instructed me to wait for their call again and that since the bill was already made.. the adjustment will reflect on my next bill.... but then by the time somebody called me... they were now saying that there were no problems in what I called for and all lines were good... therefore there will be NO BILLING ADJUSTMENT..... this ticked me off a bit.. and I tried to explain calmly the situation... which I think made the customer rep. nervous and just said that they will send the information to people concerned... but Alas... I'm having my next bill and still seeing NO BILL ADJUSTMENT.... SO..... just proves to me that PLDT Billing adjustment is a LIE.... and I really hate such kind of service... kung bakit wala pa kasi ung 3rd TELCO... para naman baka mas maganda yun.... or I wish I could actually go back to GLOBE... hirap din nga lang kasi ang globe... mahina ang signal nila... and they still offer slow internet.. hay... PILIPINAS Kelan kaya??????

 Naglalabas lang ng sama ng loob....

My bill during the typhoon



My Bill next month... still..... showing no change..

Chae Soo Bin - Yoo Seung Ho - Kim So Hyun... Reviews, thoughts, trends

Here am I again just want to blurt out my thoughts on these three people. To be honest I'm someone who liked first Kim So Hyun and her Korean dramas... afterwards I got to watch a drama of Yoo Seung Ho and I was really impressed with his acting furthermore he is really good looking or handsome and I liked him as an actor. I got hooked up first in his korean drama "Remember: War of the Son". Though at first he was not the reason I liked the series but was caught by the trailer where his great memory is being featured. I also liked his chemistry with the leading lady, but he really got me with his [YSH] acting. I then watched "Ruler: master of the mask", where he and KSH is cast and I find the story practically interesting. Again, his acting was interesting, especially how he performs in drama.

With Ruler: Master of the Mask, I tend to really like YSH and KSH's chemistry and partnership. But here comes "I am Not a Robot" where YSH is cast and I don't know the leading lady, I still watched it. One reason is, YSH is still in it. And I must agree, this one is very light in drama since it is indeed a RomCom and I really found it entertaining. Though there are some small and of course obviously not real but negating those factors and just treat it as a SciFi series, it was really fun! and I still really was fascinated with YSH's acting. More than that, Chae Soo Bin's acting too was fairly good but I think YSH had a big part on it. I mean he handled things well, given that most of his drama ARE dramas. So far it was really a blast and I found YSH and CSB really a great couple. At some point, it changed my perspective with YSH and KSH couple. Though I also liked their chemistry.. Perhaps I just found YSH and CSB's chemistry not only seen in television but even in their off-cam very interesting.

But if I may share my lingering thoughts and my observations. It may be just one sided feeling. As per googling and searching for more updates on Yoo Seung Ho and Chae Soo Bin, I found a lot of things about YSH, which I could relate a bit as a man and someone like an introvert. Well somebody said he is an introvert and basing it as well on my own observations, he is. The fact that he has no "social media account" is really interesting. And he is so honest in all his interviews [not that I understand Korean]. And based from his answers to questions, he seem to be very much of an introvert. And I read someone says Chae Soo Bin is an extrovert. That would really be a good match.. hehe! I haven't read anything about KSH whether she is an introvert or extrovert. But I got a feeling she is a little introvert. Shown by her shyness at times. Anyway, two introverts might not really be a good match cause they might  not really communicate well.

So anyway, I'm really looking forward for more of YSH's korean dramas and I think he will do more. I just hope that his introvertness will not soon become a problem. Furthermore, as others have also shared, I'm hoping they would really date - YSH and CSB. Sorry KSH, anyway it's just a personal perspective. I also hope they could do more dramas together. Oh yah, I'm also wondering if YSH is really an introvert, I wonder if they make a re-boot of the korean drama "My introverted Boss"... I did watch that even if many didn't appreciate it. I watched that for the reason that I get to relate with some of the characters of someone who is an introvert... Though I have to say it was quite too extreme or unrealistic as well. Even if one treats it as a SciFi, it doesn't make sense of some of the scenes. Maybe if they could create another kind of script basing it from the context of the title. I don't know.

Oh well, that's just it! my reviews and thoughts about the three... =)

The extreme introverted

Recently, I was able to watch a Korean drama or Korean RomCom series entitled as "my introverted boss" or "my shy boss". I find it interesting that a show would feature the character of an introvert person, an extreme one I should say. Thing is, I can somehow relate to the character say 70% being an introvert too. Made me wonder, are there really introverts like the character in this show? I do believe there are levels of being an introvert or perhaps the existence of someone who is both introvert and extrovert, as some would say. But I am unsure if such kind of super extreme introvert exists. As for me? I would categorize myself as an extreme introvert added with the character of being a Christian. In short, a Christian extreme introvert.

Now, why I included the name or word Christian? I find it somewhat having an effect to my character or personality. But let me point you first on being an extreme introvert. As I have said, from the korean drama "my introverted boss", I relate much with the character, but find it too much over acting on some parts. Like running away from people or absolutely not relating with other people. I think those are over acted or too much overboard, unless there are real introverts like those. I don't know. But I hardly see one. What I see in myself though, is that I'm not fond on looking at people, except for secret peaks (hehe!). But most often, walking around I dare not look on people much specially when I feel they are looking at me, unless when I notice a familiar shadow or face. More than looking at people, I'm more attentive at people's actions unless I have a bad night or what we call "puyat". My defensive mechanisms seem to be lowered down, that is because I tend to suspect everywhere.  

Stage freight, indeed that's one of the things I notice on myself. But for a reason, there are times I am not. Most often, these happens when I'm dealing with Christian matters (e.g. song leading, teaching / preaching) and when I ask for God's enablement. This is the reason why I added the word "Christian".

Being able to be alone for a vast period of time, being able to choose not to talk or to be exact automatically unable to talk specially when asked out of the blue questions, keeping secrets (not perfect though), trying to understand people or more so reading people while others misunderstand us, introverts. These are the things portrayed in the korean drama series and at some point, I could relate. Even the funny parts where the character thinks so much until when he decides to speak, no one is there to listen. There were a lot, except for some few things.

Things that I couldn't relate with the character is of course, the guy is rich while I'm not (haha!). Money or finances are very hard to earn in my setting and of course his status or position. But nevertheless that is not really part of being an introvert. Other things  that I differ from the character, is that he dances, I don't! Even in secret. But I do sing! and again, honestly, I sing more songs that are related to my Christian faith. Other songs? I tend to shy away from it and not even the sense of delight in singing it. There are few though, but really, little desire in singing other songs other than what is related to my faith.

Wearing a hood? nah! not really into it. But at times I do like wearing a hood. Not just always. I wonder what else I can't relate with the character? I can't think of something else now.. Some things that we are the same? Listening, we are fine in just listening and folks who knows us should notice that. But to force us to talk or ask us to tell a story? We really tend to have no ability to speak our minds as fast as our mouth. We really tend to think much first and when we are ready to talk, others most often change the topic. And, waiting for an introvert to talk requires much much patience.. hihihihi!

I read one article about introvert as well and talking about "talking", the author says (paraphrase) "we don't really talk much about small things or activities, but more about life. " And, I think I would agree on that. And as the author also emphasized, we like to tend to stick to the things which we see as valuable or important, from which we like to put all our energy towards it.  

Writing, I must say seem to be our means of an outlet more than our mouth. Specially these times that computers are built. Because reality wise, my writing is not that reaaaallly good. I mean, my hand writing. And, I think having the ability to change or edit what you wrote makes this "writing" more effective for us in expressing our thoughts and minds, such as what I am doing now.

Well, I think I could share more of my thoughts of this, but I think I'll end here. Just really glad to see a show featuring the character of an introverted one which I hope sends at least ideas to others or to the extroverts who try to want us to be like them. Because reality wise? Us being an introvert makes us who we are, as unique person as should be. And hope we are accepted as we are. Cheers!

Thoughts on the pokemon Go

Recently I have downloaded ant tried playing pokemon go with my new phone Asus zenfone max. and sure enough it is addictive. not sure why but the goal of collecting all pokemons could be a factor. or simply trying to learn the game is one. I have been able to play this game via wifi or mobile data. but recently after the update of the game last november 7, the game started to give a frustating effect as i can  no longer play the game via mobile data. I'm from the Philippines and i have been searching / googling what may be the cause of this or are there a fix to this problem. but alas i can't seem to find one.

With this situation of days looking for fix and only able to play via connecting to wifi.. I probably have no choice but to stop. at some point it's a good thing cause this is really addictive. i actually can't believe spending an amount for this though it was just a try but probably if this game has a good and working game it would probably drive me to spend little by little.. so anyway.. just writing my thoughts on this. and if there are those who would read it and give some suggestions to the fix.. it would be great! XD.. oh welll..

Troubleshooting Epson L210 printers common problems

I just want to share here some of things I want to remember when troubleshooting this printer "Epson L210".. Some of which are very common...

1. First, sometimes the printer does not print or no ink is printed when going through the printer even when the ink tank is full.

- Of course, common things we really check when the printer is not printing is the ink, but what if it is full? most often the common problem is that, there is this switch on the tank itself, where you can turn it like "on" or "off". Turning it down, would mean the ink would be turned "off" (usually done if the printer is being transported for protection / security purposes). And turning it up, would mean the ink is "OK" for printing. Sometimes, we tend to forget switching this, so when it prints, the printer at first can print, then suddenly after 2 or 3 pages, it doesn't print at all. Then that becomes a problem and we panic, and check the ink. But forget this switch.


2. When the ink notifier blinks (see picture belows):


- one reason why this blinks is that the ink itself maybe really needs to be refilled. But sometimes, this still blinks even when refilled... one reason maybe because the ink cartridge is "re-charging".... from searches as well, they say this happens within at most 20 minutes.... In other words one have to wait for 20 minutes before it goes back to normal.....

- but this is not always the case... sometimes the ink blinking may mean another reason, and not because it is charging or it has no more ink... It's possible (specially when the ink and the paper are both blinking), it may mean the printer may need to be "reset"

And how does one reset the printer?
1. put off the printer
2. try taking off the power cord of the printer, then press the "on" of the printer (sometimes power is stored inside the printer's power supply). This process makes sure the printer is really off and has no power.
3. put back the power cord
4. now press and hold the "stop/cancel/reset button"
5. while pressing the "stop button" turn the printer on. and while still holding the "stop/cancel" button, wait for ... say 10 seconds... then release it...
that's how it is printer reset.

IF this process does not solve the problem, here is an instruction I also searched for and followed.. and it really worked. don't know why, but it works somehow.. may not be for other cases. But here it is:

"press and hold resume/stop button for 5 seconds then release the button, hold and press resume/stop button again for about 3 seconds then release the button and finally press again resume/stop button just once then restart the printer. after restart the printer it should be normal again. sorry for bad english."

These are just the common problems I've experienced with EPSON L210 even with L110. hope this helps others..

Maine Mendoza plays the drums while Julie Anne San Jose Sings!


As I scroll out some youtube videos... looking for some intriguing and interesting videos about Alden Richards and Julie Anne San Jose. I bumped into this video! (This is not my video, just embedded it and I give the credit to who ever ones it).

It's just an interesting mix! and an interesting possibility of making it happen in reality. Hey, I do not want them to be enemies. It's good if they would be friends. But seriously, fans out there are like making so much war. And, yes of course it's probably because of Alden... It's crazy these days how people (esp. ladies & girls) go crazy over him. It's possible that still Julie Anne may have some thing over Alden, but as the same human being we can't force or judge them over that. It's their decision (including Alden, Maine and Julie Anne).. Well, showbizness is really a very crazy world! Fans tend to heighten their expectations and things just for them to be satisfied. I wonder if they ever think first of the health and personal thoughts and desires of those people they look up to. The worst possible things that I fear for these showbiz people are that, they grow sick or incur health damage. Worse if it leads to tragic events. History can attest to that. Some, because of probably too much anxiety, stress and others that they can't handle... leads to tragic death (deretso ko na!). Which I do hope it would not happen to them, with all the demands towards them.

Anyway, check this out! Just a great and interesting event to happen in real life (for me). Most likely not for the most. But if you would ask me who will I choose for Alden? I WILL NOT CHOOSE! Cause I'm not Alden! I have my own personal judgments but I choose not to reveal it. Anyway, circumstances are tricky and situations do not always go the way we would always want to be. That's because we are not God!

Maine Mendoza (Yayadub), Alden Richards and Julie Anne San Jose Love Triangle?


Well, here's something that have intrigued me once again. Having shared my thoughts on the current growing fever here in the Philippines, alas! I found out something intriguing. Though I know it has something to do of the past, about 2-3 years ago. Because it seems, before AlDub, there was a DenLie.

As I have said on my previous post, I usually don't write things about such things. But perhaps because of this infectious fever, research and wanting to know more have led me to uncover some things that probably should have been buried.

It is indeed something that concerns the past, and it seems even to this time there are few people who still hope for a coming back of DenLie Love Team. But with the Aldub Love Team at its peak or even growing further, this may be less of a possibility. But things can change! As they say, change is the only permanent thing in this life. But hey, I'm not taking side on this matter.

It's just interesting and intriguing, that my online search for information and details have pushed me to uncover such an issue, which of course I previously have not bothered until now. By the way, I must say "I somewhat have a crush on Julie Anne San Jose". Typical for a guy, I presume. Something that I never expected to find out or it really surprised me upon knowing about the "Denlie" love team.

Furthermore, reading comments and even negative comments or "bashes" on JAPS (Julie Anne), made me feel sad for JAPS. Made me wonder, "Has she done something wrong to receive such rude comments and bashes?" I have no idea. As I've previously said, I'm not really much into showbiz. It's just these times, things seem to be crazy. Haha! I also like Aldub though, and as I've shared previously, I like the craziness of Yaya Dub or Maine. Her personality, I believe, can easily touch someone's heart. Well, to be honest, all I can say is that these are just my own observations and my own judgments. And I understand, I may be wrong... or I may be right. Nevertheless, I just want to share my thoughts. Putting the things in my mind to words, lest I go crazy thinking about it. Hehe! And furthermore, I do not wish to offend anybody by writing these things.

Now, where was I? Well, going back to JAPS for the mean time, and in relation to Alden, it seems they really have a history - based from the documentations (or youtube videos) posted by Denlie fans. Observing their personalities, as always Alden is the quiet type of person (I think) and still manifests a gentleman, nice guy kind of personality. Not to mention, he has really good looks (a thing guys really envy, I suppose). Whereas, JAPS (I think) almost has the same kind of personality. I mean, the sweet-type silent shy-type kind of girl (just a hunch). By the way, some seem to really bash her with her looks, which I really don't understand. As if those who bash her are perfect? Anyway, that's just how people are. There are sooooo many kinds of people. I mean attitude and character. And it is really quite hard to deal with all of them. I mean how does one adjust to these many kinds of characters of people. Well, as they say, "we can't please everybody." So thing is, I hope people would really learn not to say negative things against someone else. If Maine herself said something like this (I just don't remember where, but I think in twitter), why can't others who support Maine do as what she says. Anyway, some would just really like to have fun teasing others. I have had friends like those, and I just simply ignore their teasing. But if many people does this thing to you - bashing, negative comments, etc. I wonder how one feels and deals with it, one who has a weak standing point would really give-in and indeed may lead to depression. And, let's face it, people who suffer depression often end up on the wrong end. And most often, people just don't care.

Well, if I were to advice these showbiz pipz, (I'm not saying I'm expert on this matter, but at least I could share perhaps.) learn to hold on to people who love you and  who care for you. Cherish them and ignore those others. Surely there are those who love and cherish you. And if you can't find one, I tell you, there is One! And that is God! If you don't believe me, read the Bible, especially the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John! You'll see how loving God is. If you still don't see it, then I pity you. If you can't still see God's Love, look at the cross where Jesus showed His great love for us. He didn't have to die, and yet He laid down His life for us. That is God's Amazing Love!

Now, before I preach, let me go back to showbiz. So there, having discovered the past secret(?) relationship of Alden and JAPS. I don't know if it was a real and personal thing, but their action speaks louder. Nevertheless, that ended in a very mysterious way, which leaves people really, really wondering. If I would put myself on Alden's shoes, I think he had his reasons. And I think, one of those reasons was kind of protecting JAPS image, I suppose. Well, that's just my thoughts. And probably also relates to his (Alden's) own career. Well, as I've said, these are just my thoughts. And I just want to express it in writing.

But after 2 or 3 years. Things indeed have changed! Many things, especially for Alden. His career seem to have boosted so high! Like sky rocket!!! And that is because of Maine's arrival to showbizness. And of course, the reality of her having a crush on Alden. Which I think sparked and boosted their careers. And of course, with the twist of coincidences, people would call "destiny" or whatever. With people intrigued and like me wanting to know more, truly secrets can be uncovered. A reason why some folks would really go to the extend bashing one against the other. A very tiring one actually or irritating for that matter. But anyway, I just hope there won't be very devastating effects on people for that matter.

On the other hand, I was thinking. Could the "kalyeserye" of Eat Bulaga keep up with the demand of having a longer period of showing scenes for kalyeserye? I wonder how will writers and thinkers add up their story, which should still hook up people into watching it. Most often, if I'm right, stories are made with conflicts. To make stories go longer, conflicts has to be made. I don't think a "kilig" moments only would suffice. Like a normal teleserye, writers tend to make conflicts to resolve, in order for the story to keep on going. Else, the serye would die. Hmm? just a pop in my mind. What if? they would bring JAPS into the scene? Haha! I would guess, really many reactions and the like... maybe violent reactions too! Hehe! But I know it's a dangerous thing! I do not want someone to get hurt for that matter. And, surely people will know who will get hurt. Well that is just what's running in my mind. A dangerous and critical one. Thing is, the result is also hard to imagine.

Well, imagining it, it is cruel and chaotic! And there are possibilities of heart breaking events! Oh well, just crazy! I wonder...

THOUGHTS ON ALDUB / MAIDEN PHENOMENON 2015

It is interesting that this phenomenon has invaded Philippines, even all throughout the world where Filipinos can be found. It is not hidden that there are other shows that have stormed the nation, but this happening or "aldub fever", as it is called, is something unique and different. And to be honest, it makes me laugh thinking that I want to write my thoughts about this. Because never, I mean NEVER, have I ever written something that is connected to a show or something like this.

I want to write about this, because I think I'm so much affected by it and can't stop thinking of it. And whenever that happens, I usually want it to turn my thoughts into words. In simpler words, I think I have the symptoms of this kind of fever. I hate it, but what can I do? It hit me unknowingly! and it was like a silent criminal hitting out of nowhere! Anyway where do I start?

I'll probably start on how I probably am affected. Though I think, I can't remember the exact whole process how I was hooked up. And to be honest, it feels like an addiction that I am currently struggling with, trying not to be eaten alive! But seriously, how severe are my symptoms? Well symptoms include: being active on twitter, even tweeting for that matter (which I really don't do), watching videos that are connected to aldub / maiden fever, of course watching the kalyeserye of Eat Bulaga, reading comments and writings about them, even checking on their accounts on facebook and twitter, etc... It's really crazy!

I thought to myself, why so affected and why people are affected? On my opinion, it's probably because the "kalyeserye" is close to a reality show. At first, watching "yayadub" (or Nicomaine Dei Capili Mendoza, Maine for short) at her first appearances, she was really not that appealing because of her role. Her face really wasn't friendly and she probably did well portraying what she was told to portray. And if I'm right, girls and ladies before did not put much attention too on Alden (real name: Richard Reyes Faulkerson, Jr. and screen name: Alden Richards) before, comparing it today. Having heard some girls and feedbacks from people whom I knew about the episode with Alden, it got me curious and I tried watching it. I don't remember what episode I watched but I really noticed something different or perhaps a development on the show. Yayadub who I saw at first, before the meet-up with Alden, was not appealing perhaps due to her "taray" style. Suddenly things changed into something different. The sense of reality is seen on yayadub's actions. And, having the  knowledge that yayadub has a crush on Alden proves it to be realistic. And when it comes to real things, I believe people respond the same way. People feel the real emotions, and not some kind of a made-up forced emotion on viewers.

I really seldom watch love stories, because I know it is not real and it is just scripted. Sometimes you know it is non-sense or things actors do is known to be unrealistic, because it is scripted. You become affected only when you relate to the actions they do, which are written in the script. But with the events in kalyeserye being partly reality and unscripted, it makes it really different. Well, I'll say it... it does have very much what they call "kilig", that even men or "brusko" pipz get the chills. It's funny and really interesting, how Yaya Dub / Maine and Alden chemistry affects people. But I think the main factor with this Aldub fever is Maine or Yayadub. Having the knowledge that she is just new to TV media, and her being part of a live show makes a whole new different kind of genre of show. But to categorize it, it is really more of like the reality shows (e.g. Survivor or Amazing Race).

Someone previously commented that it is like a fad. Probably because of how fast and how such a phenomenon has spiked so high in a few period of time. I thought of this too, and still thinking of it as of now. Though reading some comments, many supporters think of it differently. Nevertheless, it is just an opinion. But to further elaborate on my thoughts why I think it is fad is that I try to imagine, "what if the 'kilig' factor is lost or what if Yayadub's supposed "secret crush" on Alden becomes cold or lost?". This might change things as well.

Nevertheless, I would also comment that if the fans would really continue to untiringly support them whether the "crush" factor diminishes, the Aldub can maintain its level. But surely it will not be forever. It will also go down at some point. Because people are not always the same or in other words, people change. But certainly, it will never be the same for Maine and Alden.

Just observing how girls and ladies react to Alden's presence proves something has changed. In previous Juan-for-All, All-for-Juan, Yaya Dub wasn't being noticed and few wanted to take pictures and interact with Yaya Dub, but now? Eat Bulaga had to protect her from mobs and won't allow her to join the "Sugod Bahay" segment. I observed one time those that were guarding them walk, had to be harsh in pushing the people away from Yayadub or from the JOWAPAOs. The crowd was like growing crazy!

Now, people are arguing, debating, defending and offending one another because of this "Aldub fever". Such are my observations. And of course, I do not wish to be part of such pointless arguments. I just want to enjoy watching and observing the show and the people. But seriously? I like Maine's kind of crazy personality. Hehe! And with Alden's shy-kind mister nice guy personality. The two opposite personality attracts one another. BUT that's just my opinion. And I do not wish to push or force them to be someone they don't like to be. =)

"You don't have permission to access / on this server" for Globe WiMax Internet Service Provider (ISP)

Currently I have a problem accessing my website which is under x10hosting.com..... though I have no problem accessing my account on their site.... I simply can not access my website on any browser, so I contacted or inquired of my problem because I am placed in a page where below message is shown. *********************************************************************************************** Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. ********************************************************************************************** The setback or the current disadvantage of being connected via Globe WiMax broadband is that Globe's IP address[es] are somewhat blacklisted amongst third parties as sources of spams... I'm not sure if Globe Telecom has settled or have a means of correcting or fixing this problem. But if I remember it right, this was also one of the problem I had when trying to make a website under the GoDaddy.com. When I try to access my site, I am blocked and unable to view my own website. Why? again, because my IP address is blocked or blacklisted amongst the third parties, therefore disabling me to really view my website. With this, this a very much disadvantage on Globe WiMax users... or even Globe connected Internet users. I hope Globe Telecom will check and deal with this problem sooner or later, or else... more customers will be not so very happy, knowing that Globe's IP addresses given / assigned to their customers are being blacklisted and blocked.... I have no real knowledge on the techy parts of these things, but I've got a hunch that Globe needs to really have to check their technology or system on how to deal with this. To think or to give customers the privilege of having their own IP addresses and not having IP addresses shared amongst other customers.

Cloudfone GEO 402q Review & Specifications (Specs)

Here I wish to write my thoughts on this new phone I just got through the Globe Promo Load Tipid Plan 300. An agent called me about this and the agent was really quite "makulit" so I gave up and just go on with the plan. Anyway it was P300 / month and the phone was free. By the way previously agents of Globe were calling me about these new promos and I think the first offer to me was 500 having a Lenovo phone, I forgot.... but this Cloudfone GEO 402q looks promising at first sight... I mean... compared to the previous Lenovo phone they were offering me, I find this Cloudfone having a better feature which is the 8MP camera, though the Lenovo phone has a free powerbank... but I think the 8MP camera still is better... =)

Anyway, here's the Specifications / features of the phone I got.
  • 4" IPS OGS Gorilla Glass Touchscreen
  • 3G, WiFi
  • Android 4.4 Kitkat
  • 8MP Rear Camera w/ Flash, 2MP Front Camera
  • 1.3 GHz Quad Core Processor
  • ROM: 4GB, RAM: 1GB
  • Dual SIM, Dual Standby
  • FREE Extra Colored Back Cover
I suppose this phone is limited edition or available only under Globe Telecom.. as I was trying to look at their website for this product to see for more info, but I haven't found it under their products. Just recently I found this in their website http://cloudfonemobile.com/products/geo-402q saying available only with Globe. Hmm? interesting...

So some initial look and experience? I kind of like it. I'm not that techie but trying to learn and use it comparing to other Smart Android Phones I've used... it seems to be fine... But I'll just try more of it, to see further it's capability specially when having much apps on it...

Something though to take note, it really drains fast, that is if you are using 3G. I think it can only last for a day  or 24 hours, if one uses 3G capability specially when the data connection is "on". That's why I put it off since I don't usually use it for the net via 3G service... if the data connection is off, I think it can reach up to 2 and a half or 3 days.

The photos produced by it? It is just quite enough, but preferably fine on day time only. At night time? it can still take pictures but it is quite dark.

Speed and response time of the Smart Phone? as of now it responses fine and fast. And I kind of like how it has a feature where it is not easily put "on" or "awake" when pressing the "home" or the screen, but only through the "power" button found on the right side middle part, and it is not easily pressed on. Though there is a feature called "gesture" which I still haven't figure out what it does. It also has a feature on "enabling gadgets" which I notice that when enabled, the sensitivity of the screen is increased which causes it to be awake when the screen is touched or something. So I put that features off so as only to "wake" when the power button is pressed.

[added as of Nov. 21, 2014] And in addition to the response or how the android takes up on hard task like for gaming activities, it seems to work great. I installed a game (though an online RPG) named "Iron Knights" just to test it... and it seems to be working good and fine. It does not slow down nor hang up.

So far that's my feedback on this phone... hopefully I could add more as I get on it. =)

Enchanted Kingdom Experience

Well, first off! To those who doesn't have idea of what Enchanted Kingdom is all about... It's a place of fun rides and entertainment for family and friends. It's a theme park found somewhere in Sta. Rosa City, Laguna, Philippines. For more information about them, check out there website: http://www.enchantedkingdom.ph/aboutEK.html.

For so many years, having heard of others share their experiences about the EK, of course gives me a sense of curiosity. And indeed, after my own and first experience, it was quite challenging and probably shocking... Well, of course there were rides that would really give you an experience you've never felt before, unless you had previous experience of falling or such kinds. My own experience on the other hand was really unforgettable, because most of it were a test of facing one's fear: fear of heights, fear of falling, and probably fear of death. To some of us who've probably experienced already, gives an advantage given the already known feeling. But as for me, being for the first time, it was really unimaginable and challenging. The worst and challenging experience I've had was on the rides of: "Space Shuttle", "Log Jam", and "Free Fall". Perhaps amongst other people, it doesn't. What made my own worst experience, was the experiencing of falling at the speed I didn't expect. It truly felt my body can't take it. The feeling that catching breath was important and experiencing pressure before your face and body. That was indeed a challenge. Adding to it was fear that one could feel and the thought of death was just near. But that was what I think EK boast of compared to other theme parks in the Philippines.

But anyway there were other rides that was indeed enjoyable. For me, the Flying Fiesta was the most enjoyable as it felt that I was indeed flying. Though it was on a circular direction still it was enjoyable for me. Another enjoyable ride with friends was the Rio Grande, where people get wet at some point. Another would be the water squirting against friends ride. Don't know the name of the ride, but me and my friends enjoy it. Though it was really a short time. The mini-roller Coaster is also fun, because at some point my body can at least bear with the speed of the coast ride, unlike the space shuttle. Probably fear is one of the factor though why I can't fully enjoy it though....

One of the most uncomfortable ride for me was that of the "Anchor's Away", specially when you sit on the extreme sides. And I must say, I have somewhat really uneasy with the kind of rides, because even on just a simple swing it has bad effect on my body. Though I have to say, when I was a kid, I did enjoy swings... I just don't understand why on my matured body, I can't seem to enjoy such anymore... By the way, one of the other factor why it is the most uncomfortable ride, was that it felt a long period of time when on it. Not that the time is so long, but when the ride starts to move, you have to wait for it's time to end. Unlike other rides, it happens once or twice then it stops.

One of the MOST BORING thing on the park was their "scaring" theme park. I don't what they call it... but it was a waste of time and money when we tried it. I think the theme was "alien invasion" where there goal was supposed to be scaring people. Well, we weren't that scared or even felt any entertainment, since we were just like toured around the area, while people dressed in costume tried to scare us... It was like?.... "huh?"... well, probably one factor that made it boring was that we were in a group of probably 7 or 8 who went in... while we had a tour guide, so those who were supposed to experience first were those on front, but alas, they weren't and we who were on the back were just spectators. But my judgement on the props and the design? It really lacked design... and probably strategy on enforcing "scaring" tactics. Therefore, we were unsatisfied with it.

Some rides were simply normal and fun too. Probably it's because it is already seen on other theme parks. But overall, I have to say it was quite an experience. I probably recommend it for those of curious minds and first timers, but after then, doing it again maybe of no more excitement, unless you want to continue enjoying it with family and friends. There's nothing better than doing activities with others, than doing it just by yourself.

Non Proffessional Driver's License Application in Baguio LTO

Recently, I was able to apply for a student driver's permit or license and I wrote my experience here. This time, I'm trying to apply for Non-Pro (Non Professional) Driver's License.

Well, at first I went to inquire at the person in-charge (the person who gives the form for application). And surely fixers are all around or near the place. Usually they will approach you and ask if you are going to get driver's license. But anyway, I think it's much better not to entertain fixers. One reason: You don't get to experience the system LTO does for license applications. Second reason: I believe it is more costly to entertain fixers, though I know they can give it fast (but no assurance of validity and authenticity).

So when I inquired, of course I had to make certain I have my requirements ready. Though I actually only have my application form already filled-up, which I downloaded from their website and of course my student driver's permit which is already a month old. Actually the person I inquired of still gave me a new form. But anyway he said that the application for Non-Pro has to be scheduled.

So what happened was that he just checked my requirements. First, he asked me for my student driver's permit. Then after checking (probably checked if it is a month old), he told me to go take my medical exam. Hmmm? I thought to myself... **so... no more drug test? Yes!!! I hope so**... So I went for a medical exam near the place. I just followed the arrows and observed the area, I find rooms where drug test was supposed to be taken, but they are mostly closed. I think the other rooms were for medical exam as well but never went in since I was following the arrows. So the last arrow pointed me to a room at a dead end. So I went in, then they've let me take my weight, height, checked my BP (which was 140/90... hey, I got tired walking and carrying a heavy bag) and also checked my eyesight. After that, I paid P100.00. Then went back to the desk-man. Then he gave me the form to fill up, which I did since I haven't shown my already filled-up form and he stapled my student permit with the new form. And of course I had to made some changes on my weight and height (simply copying what was written in my medical exam). After filling it up, he checked it and told me to go and write or set a schedule for my exam near the Window 1. So I went, and alas!!! the schedules were all filled up within the month the next free days were already on the next month. The slots were only 22 slots per day. And the instruction was that, I have to be back by 7:30 A.M. for my exam.

So made my decision on what schedule I would take. And after that went back to the desk-man and he told me to simply come back on the schedule I chose. Soooo.... To be continued! =)

Globe WiMax Review 2014 (after a year)

August 2013, I changed ISP from SmartBro (Canopy) to Globe WiMax... Within a year, I enjoyed the speed and the service Globe WiMax gave.... Didn't feel much the dreaded FUP (Fair Use Policy) of Internet Service Providers (ISPs - Smart, Globe and PLDT MyDSL). If you are still unaware or uninformed of what the FUP is, this policy introduces a slowing down of your internet whether planned or post paid or whatever ... after having consumed a certain amount of data capacity which it depends on how much data capacity the ISPs provide.

ISPs claim that other countries does this as well, but I am uncertain to that detail. They give their own evidences or "arguments" to prove their claims... Whereas, some other people also give their "arguments" saying that even if other countries give such FUPs, they don't feel the traumatizing effect of what consumers experience here in the Philippines. Because I think they have better plans and better speed and larger data capacities. Well, I actually have no real hard evidences yet but probably for us who have love ones abroad, we can always ask them. Ask them to test their speed by going to this website speedtest.net and ask them how much speed they get (the download speed and upload speed), then compare it to what you get.

I must say, this is where we Filipino Cyber Citizens are really in a disadvantage, knowing as well that all the ISPs don't seem to have the capability NOR (possibly) have a heart to improve on this area: "Having a better speed with fair and satisfying paid service and customer service". As far as I know there are only two main competitors, that of Smart and of Globe. Smart has the great upper-hand since I think they are much resourceful and let's just say the biggest number of customers (basing from knowledge over seen and heard details from media and cyber space). While, Globe is trying to cope up with the demand as well. Seeing this picture, the greatest disadvantaged is really... the customers!!! And add up to this? sorry, but I think as of now (year 2014), still the government has their corruptions... Why would I say that? just look at our simple getting of driver's license, you think if we are not corrupt, there are open-eyes-directly-near-the-office fixers?

So, anyway... getting back on Globe WiMax Review August 2014? Well here I place my current unsatisfactory on the Globe WiMax 1Mbps plan... after a year. And to think that the plan I got is a two-year lock-in period. Such a deceptive plan by them (I think). Well, I can't put them thoroughly down though... since comparing to the previous SmartBro Canopy to which I'm really very much unsatisfied. At least I don't have to call their CSR every two months and hear their CSR's annoying "sorry for the inconvenience".. etc... Well, I know, that's their job. Anyway, I can't really compare thoroughly SmartBro with Globe WiMax today since I don't know SmartBro's current status. But anyway, with both ISPs, I get to always read negative comments for both of them. But as of now? basing on my experience? I still have a plus points on Globe since it didn't lose connection for almost a year. Had some minor disconnection, but it only lasted half a day and that happened twice within the year. The recent, I called their CSR! And with my first experience to call them, I get the sense that they really have no idea on their technical side or matters. When I called, the result after talking for minutes, was that they had to send technicians to check on my connection and therefore was scheduled. But alas! After the half day, the internet came back. So... no need for technicians! And they never called nor texted anyhow.

As of Globe's Data Cap or Data Capacity limit, I really have no idea how much or how big. But the technicians who installed the Globe WiMax told me, it was 3GB a day. Makes me wonder though if I really have consumed 3GB for the whole 24 hours. And if I remember it right, I think there is a 20 GB limit capacity for a month. And the speed will be back every midnight. Not sure yet if that would really happen since, recently I have been experiencing slow net for some days now. Not yet for a week.

Oh yeah, the reason why I was satisfied for the year of Globe WiMax, every time my net slowed down, I always reboot and/or on/off my Globe WiMax. How to reboot the Globe WiMax? I think I wrote the steps here in this blogsite. And every time I do that, the speed just came back. So now, after a year, that seems to not work anymore... =) ... well, that's why I think they have just become more strict in their FUP.

Well? I'll just observe more if this situation continues on... I just hope it wouldn't continue on... feeling unsatisfied always is just stressful... =D.. and Oh yah, haven't tried PLDT DSL yet since their agent or center always say, we have no slot... or probably they can't provide us a line coming to our place. That's why I can only depend on Wireless Broadbands.. as of now!

Well I'm just hoping for the better!

Getting Student Driver's license at LTO experience 1

Well, just want to share a bit of my experience on taking a student driver's license or a student driver's permit. First of, it's been my third time to get a student driver's license. Why? Uhm? probably I don't have that much time to practice and I'm hoping to have my own car first before really having a real driver's license.
But anyway, on my third take, I was hoping I could actually apply on a driver's license by this time though my problem was when taking or applying for it, my license was expired. Why not take it earlier before the expiration? Well probably I was really hoping to hone my skill on driving. I don't often get an opportunity to take hold or to take our car (my parents' car or van) for a drive nor practice for that matter.

But anyway, I did try to ask first the one in-charge of giving out the forms for application. I asked if what if my student license have expired, can I still apply for a non-pro driver's license? And the person said "No." So, no choice... But if I would think about it, they should allow such things since it still goes along with their requirement of a minimum of one month old of having a student driver's license. They should be adding such a step or possibility since they do it for expired driver's license. They could just add up some extra fee just like on expired driver's license. That would solve the problem.

Anyway, one of my observations really, these fixers. I just can't understand how is it that the LTO has no authority or even capability in dealing with them. They have all the placards saying don't go to the fixers, and yet how come there are still many fixers on plain sight just around the corner of the LTO. By the way I'm in Baguio, the LTO I'm talking about is found in Pacdal, Baguio City, Benguet, PhilippinesSomewhere the map below is showing... made a map of my own since google maps hasn't updated the location of LTO-CAR or LTO-Baguio. (See map below)



So that's just my disappointment with the LTO department and perhaps to the Government. Maybe really describes or just gives a glimpse of how corrupt our government is, when even at the smallest or simplest function, they can't even deal with it. And the problem I think is the people, us as well. We never learn. And yet, I wonder why in other places, people are very much disciplined on this matter. Such a shameful thing for our so called heroes fighting for our freedom, when in reality we are in bondage of corruption, selfishness, greed and others....

Anyway, where were we... Oh, taking a driver's license... so since the person-in-charge (the one who gives the application form) said "no." No choice but to get a student permit. By the way, you can download LTO Application form before hand and search or know their requirements in applying in their website http://www.lto.gov.ph/. In such a way you don't have to fill up forms at their branch office but fill it out at home already. And if ever you wish to apply for driver's license, you can google up driver's license exam reviewers to give you some idea on what might be in the exams. Did this in preparation for my application but since I wasn't able to apply one, I just like to share it. Maybe in a few months, I would be trying to apply for driver's license already, just the non-pro.... And I would like to try the non-fixer experience, so I know how our branch in Baguio LTO or LTO-CAR handles such application.

Applying for the student license was pretty much awesome though.. I mean it was fast, I think it didn't took an hour... though I had to wait for minutes. But it was fast. Of course provided you give the complete requirements... I think if you have an expired student license, you can use that provided you also have the receipt of it (so keep your receipts) along with the filled up form, you can now start processing the student license permit. Though mine? I used my TIN ID with a photocopy of it with your filled-up application form. After confirming the details, the officer gives back your TIN ID then asks you to proceed to a window for you to submit the form. After submitting the form you will  have to wait for your name to be called to go to another window where your picture will be taken and digitized signature. After that, you'll have to wait again for you to go to another window (cashier) to pay up the fees then your student permit with the receipt be given. Then they will ask you to fill up or enlist your name signature along with the number given to you.

Walah! That's it! you are given a student driver's permit. Of course just a caution, student driver's permit IS NOT A DRIVER'S LICENSE... it just allows you to handle a vehicle along with someone who has a legit driver's license.

How to fix printer like (Canon MP287 / MP280 Series) when Laptop or Computer can't detect well printer

Well, I'm not that expert on fixing or troubleshooting printers. But just want to share my experience on how I fixed my printer to be detected again by my laptop. I currently have my Canon Pixma MP287 printer and one time, my laptop no longer can detect my printer. That's probably I was trying to install another printer to my laptop which affected my printer or I did something stupid.. Hehe!

What I needed was my printer drivers first.. Usually a printer should have it's CD driver... but since I lost it... I just downloaded it from the internet. You can just google it having the key words you need like "free Canon MP287 Printer drivers download" looking for the good drivers may take some time and figuring since there are sites which just fools around with you. Anyway... securing printer drivers is one important thing. If you already have one, best save it in an external drive or even a hard disk where you think you can back-up your files.

Then, cleaning and uninstalling unwanted drivers or connected programs to your printer has to be done. First off in Windows, one has to un-install all programs related to your computers and drivers as well. At times there are things that can not be easily removed, probably it was corrupted or something. To fully clean any files related to previous printer, I have to reboot my laptop and go to safe mode for Windows 7 (can be in XP, or Vista as well)... After booting in Safe Mode, I use "regedit" by going to MS DOS prompt or Command prompt then type "regedit" or in the search bar of start menu, just write "regedit".

Once entered in regedit, then you are facing a window, maybe a bit technical or scary cause once something is destroyed or manipulated in it, might cause your computer to malfunction. But anyway, it is good to explore and learn from it. So what do I do with this regedit? I search anything related to my printer and delete it... so example is my printer is Canon MP287 or MP280.... I search the word "Canon" (if I know there is no other Canon software or driver installed in my computer other than my printer)... then searching all through out the "registry" once found, I check, I read and by discretion if confirmed that it is connected to my printer, I delete it. then press "F3" a shortcut to search again the same previously entered word. Then if found I do the same process, check, confirm and delete. If the item can't be deleted, I just memorize it and skip on it. And if I again gone through it, I just skip on it. So everything connected to the "Canon" is to be deleted if can not just leave it. If done, then I think the computer is somewhat fresh and ready to be installed with the new drivers. YOU HAVE TO WAIT for the instruction of the program to give the "GO" signal of connecting the cable from the printer to the computer / laptop and putting the power to "ON"... Once you don't follow that instruction, then usually it goes berserk or the printer will not work properly or the computer does not detect it or something. At times, putting the cables on the right USB port makes it also a problem and usually printers like the USB Port with a 2.0 version... not the 3.0 something or else it will not detect it.

So that's it! Some experience I have on dealing with printers that computers might not be able to detect by computers or laptop. Feel free to comment or add up or tell me I'm wrong, that's fine... but do provide corrections so we can learn together. Thanks! and God bless! =D

problem with Canon Pixma MP287 printing lines

At times I get to have a problem with my Canon Pixma MP287 Printer, printing with lines drawn or shows some mixing ink. First thing is first, "Printing preferences" have their "maintenance" tab where you can also find the "Cleaning" or "deep cleaning" button. This will unclog ink cartridges if it the printer doesn't print properly... Usually I do this 3 times on the "deep cleaning" if necessary. Specially if you are using a "continuous ink flow system" on your printer since sometimes the ink does not flow well or goes back to the original ink container.

At times, when I print from fast or standard printing, there are lines drawn, but when using the high quality printing, it prints good or fine. I believe this is a sign, the cartridge is nearly damaged or is damaged already and requires to be changed. Therefore you should go to your technical service center or the shop where you've bought the printer or to which shop you've applied for a "continuous ink flow" system and let them do the job. Unless, you are skilled enough to buy a new cartridge and replace the ink cartridge.

So far my cartridge was maxed out up to 2 years, though my black cartridge was only 1 year; I mean a cartridge with installed continuous inkflow system. If you don't use inkflow well, you're probably be buying new cartridge everytime.... or you could re-fill it with refillers but I believe the maximum lifespan of the cartridge is about 6 months.. depends on usage though... I think cartridges likes to be used everyday... once it is unused, the ink tends to solidify or stiffen probably damaging the cartridge itself....

How to Fix and Troubleshoot Canon Pixma MP287 or MP280 Series Printer with Error Codes?

Review on Globe WiMax plan 999 as of January 2014

Well, it's almost six months of usage for my subscribed Globe WiMax plan 999 having a promised up to 1 Mbps speed... and comparing to Smartbro... I think I'm satisfied with this plan... though it would really be more satisfying if Internet plans here in the Philippines will be likened to abroad plans where speed is very high and with affordable prices I suppose. Hearing and having researched from other abroad Internet Service Provider (or ISPs).... Philippines gives a very high priced Internet Service Provider... which is really sad therefore we have no choice but to stick what we have...

In our area, cabled internet service providers with the cheap plans can not reach us.. we could only use as of now... Wireless Broadband such as Smartbro and Globe WiMax.... having been dissatisfied by Smartbro I switched and tried Globe WiMax... though the process and application was had setbacks or trouble, because they seem to not guarantee we could have an internet signal from our place, but an agent took risk to try out in our place... so alas! it has signal... It just needed for a higher height to be able to receive and send out signal to their tower.

So anyway.. having almost 6 months of connection from Globe  Wimax... I'm quite satisfied compared with Smartbro.. internet connection is stable... but perhaps I'm dissatisfied only with their FUP since they too have adopted the FUP issue... I think if the data cap reached 3 GB... net speed goes to 0.2 Mbps... which really is useless and very much frustrating... but I kind'a have some kind of ways that I do with this to try to make it fast again... Don't have a real evidence on this, but it works for me at times...

So what do I do? there are a few steps that I do...

First, I put off and wait for 10-15 seconds then put on the WiMax device again.

If that doesn't work... I try rebooting the WiMax then after reboot, I do the first option again...
Well I was able to read the steps on how to reboot a WiMax device on Globe's Forum so I think it's fine for me to share it here as well...

I have HUAWEI BM622i device for my Globe WiMax plan... and accessing the device.. I write on a browser's address "192.168.254.1" which would place me in a log-in interface or window... for username I use "user" then on password it's "0SlO051O"

placing the following log-in details, we can now access the details on the device... I never try to change anything in the details 'cause I have no idea what would really happen but anyway, I only use the "Reboot" button found in the maintenance tab or button. After waiting for a couple of minutes... the device is then rebooted. So that's what I do to reboot the device.

And observing my net after doing so, it seems the net speed comes back.... There was just one time out of 6 months that even doing these steps didn't work in putting back the speed of the net... but anyway.. it was just for a time or period of time and didn't have to be days... 

So as of now? I like the Globe WiMax and currently satisfied with it....
In addition though, I'm curious with Globe's New additional Plan which is the Globe Tattoo Home Broadband LTE... they have this plan 999 internet only having up to 3mbps speed.. and I wonder if that plan is available in our area too... and if I can transfer my current subscription with that plan... as of now I'm just curious but I think I can not entertain my curiosity as I'm more busy thinking first of how could I be employed again..(hehe!) I've been unemployed for months as well so that means having "no proper income" so just additional thoughts or idea... if someone have applied or subscribed in this plan, feel free to comment and I would love to hear any feedback on their plan. 

And oh yeah, there are times I get a higher speed from Globe WiMax plan 999... one time it reached 2Mbps... and at times 1.5Mbps... and I don't know why... I checked my account on their online Globe account and my plan is still 1 Mbps... anyway.. I just hope it would stay that way or better yet it would grow higher speed.. 1 Mbps is really slow at this cyber era... T_T .... 

And, in addition again, if you still don't know we could actually pay our bills online for the Globe WiMax... if you have BPI or BDO online account... and if you have knowledge on how to enroll an account for paying bills, you just have to look for "Innove" as the Company Biller.... I actually haven't hard-copy confirmed this... but I was able to confirm it on my online account... so perhaps to truly confirm this, I would have to see my next bill for the next month if my current bill was really paid or will it be carried next month. Paying on their center is a little disturbing and well let's say it... makes us lazy... so paying online is really something for me... =D

so that's it... hopefully these infos are great help or something.... =D
