Kudos to Batch 2012

Graduation na naman pala. Batch 2012. 13 years ago nung grumadweyt ako sa High School. Pero ganun pa rin ang height ko... Napaka swerte ng ggradweyt ngayong taon na 'to. For sure, its a relief for their parents. Hindi lang sa ideyang nakatapos na ng High School ang kanilang anak kungdi sa tema ng nakaligtas na sila para sa dagdag na 2 taon sa Highschool. O'db relief un?!. Ano nga ba ang opinyon ko tungkol dun?!. simple lang. walang kwenta kung hindi babaguhin ang kasalukuyang sistema ng edukasyon tungkol sa kakulangan ng klasrum, libro at guro. i mean, whats the point kung ang 2 taon mo eh 2 taong pagtitiis na naman sa mga luma at hiramang libro. 2 taong pagkla-klasrum sa corridor. 2 taong mainit at siksikang silid-aralan. kung ang mga ganitong pangunahing problema ng edukasyon sa pagtuturo eh hindi masusulusyunan, ano pang silbi ng 2 pang taon? tsk. buti nalang tapos na ko. kaya nga parang trophy na pede mong isampal kahit kanino kung makakatapos ka ng High School. Mahirap mag-aral. Lalo na kapag kapos at salat ka sa mga pangangailangan ng isang estudyante. Makaligtas ka man sa araw-araw na baon, pproblemahin mo naman ang palagiang project, pambili at pang ambag ng floorwax, pag-ihi oras oras, at favoritism ng mga titser. Dagdagan mo pa ng first love, at ma-pulitikang klasmeyt mo. Bitter ako, oo. Epic fail kasi ung hindi ako naka-akyat ng stage nung Graduation namin. Sayang, dagdag ganda points pa naman un sa long time crush ko. May mga bulung-bulungang umiral ang maduming pulitika nuong nagkaka-ungusan na para mapabilang sa Top 10. Tsk. Ayaw kong isiping totoo un. Mahirap kaya mag-exam na sampu lang kayo at sa corridor pa. Akala nyo, prestige un?!, hindi noh. Sakit sa bangs nun kasi, Wala kang pedeng kopyahan. Sa kabila nun, marami pa rin namang dapat ikasiya sa High School life. Un nalang muna ang isipin natin. I guess High School life is one of the best thing that ever happen to everyone. Dito nakita at nakilala ang mga tunay mong kaibigan. Dito ka unang na-inlove, na broken hearted. Dito mo nakilala ang sarili mo at kung ano ang gusto mong mangyari sa buhay mo. At higit sa lahat dito nangyari ang pinaka embarassing moment mo. Ako?!, never kong makakalimutan ung naging peyborit ako ng titser ko. Favorite na pagalitan. Si Mia?! na super hindi mo mararamdaman ang presence sa clasroom ay naging hot item sa mata ng naglilihing titser. Badtrip talaga ung moment na un. Kahit wala akong ginagawa, sakin pa rin ang sisi. Now i wonder, kamuka ko kaya ang anak nun?! Swerte naman nya. Kudos to Batch 2012. 'Wag munang mag-aasawa.

Hindi Ba Pedeng Maging Simple Na Lang Ang Buhay

ung tipong, di mo kailangan ng kuryente dahil di mo naman kailangang magpuyat, dahil wala namang dapat pagpuyatan kasi walang kompyuter o cellphone o TV na pedeng pagkaabalahan. . . ung tipong di mo kailangang bumili ng pamporma dahil wala ka namang pupuntahang mall o attendan ng magarang okasyon. Hindi mo kailangang ng Bench, Converse, Gucci o Guess dahil buntal at kamisa de chino lang naman ang kailangan mo sa pagtatanim.ung tipong hindi mo nanaiisin at pag-iipunan ang pambili ng latest gadget dahil wala ka namang kaiinggitang kaibigan o kapit-bahay. Hindi mo rin papangaraping magpakabit ng internet o wifi o cable kasi hindi mo rin namang gugustuhing bumili ng android phones dahil hindi naman uso ang Facebook at Twitter. . . hindi mo din papangaraping makapaglaro ng Temple Run dahil mas masaya kang tumatakbo sa bukid na mas presko ang hangin. Wala din ang ideyang ano ang Plants vs. Zombies dahil mga insekto lang naman ang alam mong peste na pedeng ikasira ng inyong bukid. Hindi mo din alam na sa Farmville, pede mong pagtabihin ang palay sa strawberry. Samahan mo pa ng raspberry at talong. Hindi uso ang dota o warcraft dahil gagamba at salagubang lang, kuntento ka na. Wala din ang angry birds dahil tinuruan ka ng tatay mo na kelan man hindi ginagawang bala ng tirador ang mga ibon at higit sa lahat kahit kelan hindi magiging green ang isang baboy. Tahimik din ang alaga mong si simsimi na ang alam lang gawin ay matulog at kumain. Malayong-malayo sa nauuso ngayong sisiw na walang tuka na sing-taray ni Vice Ganda. . . Hindi sa wala kang pangarap na umunlad. Meron din naman. pero ung tama lang. ung sakto lang.Ung mamuhay ka lang ng tahimik at masaya. . . Ung simple lang.

How's your application, Lola Techie?

I’m writing this while I’m in the peak of annoyance towards BayanTel Inc. Yes, that one with the commercial of Lola Techie. . I wonder how she survived handling her patience about application of her DSL. I wonder how long she suffered to wait for the installation before she gets her enjoyment in playing Angry Birds. I wonder if she indeed suffered from High Blood. . 'Cause I am. And I’m on the edge of my patience right now. Let's see how you will react after you read this review. . It’s March 17, 2012, when I met Michael Gallano, a BayanTel Agent. For 2 weeks, he was bugging my mom to apply for a DSL. My mom told me about the promo because she knows I’d like to have an internet connection. At first, I was like: "No thanks; I’m still contented using my broadband". But when she told that I had to pay only Php1, 000.00 for the installation fee and 999 per month, I started to think. That was cheap yes, because it includes Wifi + Landline. Though it only allot 500kbps speed. I only have a laptop and a cellphone and uses internet during weekends so I don’t need much of higher speed. . I immediately texted that agent, and after 20minutes he came and we met. The usual sales talk happened. I made him assure the strong 500kpbs speed I will receive. I filled-up the form and immediately handed him the Php1, 000.00. In exchanged, he handed me the yellow copy with his signature and the note that I paid him that amount. Php500.00 for the Phone, Php500.00 for the DSL and a promise that installation will only take 3-5 days. . But to my dismay, the installation never happened to promised date. I’ve been waiting for a month and did a series of follow up phone calls. My agent didn’t even bother to contact me again. Two weeks after my application, another agent contacted me named Ginalyn Derbo and she told me that Michael endorsed my application to her. And that agent Michael was just a sub-agent. I tried to contact him, but he never pick up his phone. at one point, he picked it up and pretend to be another person and just told me that Michael would just return my call. He never did. I made my follow-up calls to BayanTel Customer Hotline and did a series of email to their customer email address. Only to receive one feedback: They were not able to locate my house. Is that really possible when in fact, all my neighbors where using Bayantel lines and I already gave my contact number and a map sketch? I should have been receiving a text or call perhaps if they were not able to find my location. . One month and 2 days upon signing my application, I already decided to reach and extend this problem to DOTC, forwarding them any evidences I have when my brother texted me and informed me that the phone installation is now on-going at our house. Buzzer beater! But still, don’t have any dial tone. Engineers cannot give any specific date when can they give us dial tone. Now that the phone is already installed, how about the dial tone and my Wi-Fi? That's another story. . With what happened, I’d like to extend my deepest disappointment with this service provider. The 3-5 days installation advertisement is such a shame. The customer agents were not that reliable and I’m not sure either if they really made reports in my concern. They always give you we-will-forward-your-problem-with-our-concern-group line but they will give you the same feedback when you do follow-ups. If it’s not that I really need an internet and phone connection, and if its PLDT is just available in our place, I wouldn’t wait for this kind of service. We, the consumers and users do not deserve a service like this. We should expect a decent service, reliable customer agents, and a speed and faster installations because after all, we are paying for these services. . I don’t know what will happen and how long will I wait for the dial tone and the Wi-Fi. I know engineering graduates can tell you how easy to have one. But why Bayantel allowed us to wait? Are they expecting "something" to speed up the installation? . Disappointing. Tsk!
