I’ve had this blog up for a few months already but I guess it’s easier for me to just consolidate blogs instead of maintaining several ones. I’m just going to see how that works out for me. Anyway, click the link below to follow me to my new blog…
I am currently trying out a new site that provides services that advertise on blogs. Click on the link so you can try it too. Those of you who have already tried monetizing their blogs would find the interface familiar, but a whole lot easier to the eyes, and also a lot faster. I stopped problogging for a few months because I’ve been developing a different blog to make it qualify for something like this too, and I also worked. I must really admit that I’m getting tired of the call center/bpo industry. Some of their policies are so questionable, one would wonder why you put up with them if you have another option. More on that in a different post, I promise. There’s really so much that I want to say about that, but I have to choose my words carefully. So, it’s back to homebased jobs for me.

Over two weeks of screwy internet connection. I think I have the right to be irate, right? But I try to keep in perspective. We’ve been subscribed to SUN’s wireless broadband internet (HSDPA) which was okay until two weeks and two days ago. I just noticed that I can’t upload anything on the internet. I can’t upload photos in Facebook, Multiply, or any website. I can’t post photos in my own blog. I can’t transfer files through FTP. I can’t even send out emails. I can browse just fine, it’s a tad slow at times, but it’s tolerable. I just can’t imagine people would think that’s enough. I mean the whole point of having the internet is to interact with it, right?
Anyway, they said there was a network restoration going on. It’s been going on for ages, it seems. I’ve asked for a technician several times but I keep on getting the run-around. I’ve tried everything I know already, from the simplest thing such as refreshing network stack, reseting winsock catalog, doing a system restore, running a scanfor spyware and virus, disabling the firewall, disabling and uninstalling (eventually even changing) the antivirus. Throughout the two weeks and two days that I’ve been having this issue, I’ve reformatted my computer several times and installed different versions of Windows XP, all with the same issues. Just today I reformatted this computer three times, and I’m tired.
I also asked for a credit back since I dont’ want to pay for a service that doesn’t work the way it should work, and I still couldn’t get a straight answer.
This would be the turning point for my relationship with SUN Broadband Wireless. If this doesn’t get resolved within this week, I swear I’ll go for Globe Tattoo instead.
It’s a long story but I’ve decided to pursue a homebased career for now. I know, I know, it’s a risky thing to do, considering the state of things in the economy. However, I think it’s going to be worth it. Aside from posting my resume online as a freelance writer, I’m also trying to finish studying HTML and CSS web design. Many months ago, I had an idea that I can add web designing to my skills (along with whipping up a killer pot of nilagang baka for my husband). I just got sidetracked from the project by so many different things that I want to try. I guess if I really would focus on something, I can be very good at it.
Anyway, I just thought that learning to design a website would really help in link building and boosting page rank. So I’m starting from scratch again. Basic HTML. Basic CSS. I should really make a commitment to follow through this time. Read the rest of this entry »
I can’t go into details yet of why this week SUCKED in a major way, but at least I have some things to look forward to next week. It’s a good thing that I have a few girl friends who are there to help me weather the storm, so to speak.
Anyway, I’m planning to go to North Cemetery next week to shoot a photo essay about people who live in there. I’m not sure if some girl friends are coming along, or if we’re going to La Mesa Ecopark instead, but whatever happens, I’m sure that I’m going out to shoot on Thursday. :)
