I’m not quite satisfied with my new smartbro fixed broadband connection. I feel that it’s slower than my previous smartbro prepaid connection. Aren’t they using the same technology? What gives?
If not for the unlimited thingie, I would not even bother getting the services of Smartbro. PLDT Plan 990 (landline + dsl) seemed to be a good bargain, but the advertised 356kbps speed turned me off because I think that’s too slow for a dsl connection. Now, I don’t know if I made the right decision.
Will monitor the speed for a week and if this does not improve, customer service should be prepared for a lotta ranting.
Did you miss me blog? I know, I haven’t been good to you. I haven’t been updating, and if I did, I would just put senseless stuff. It’s like you are an unwanted pregnancy. I only enjoyed the sex but I was a lousy mother. Forgive me blog.
The thing is, I don’t know what to do with you. I used to think I could categorize entries according to my interests. It turns out my interests are very few, and I don’t know where to start. It’s like I’m feeding my newborn baby junk food.
Facebook is also slowly killing you, my blog. Status messages are short and quick. And sometimes I like it quick, but not that short. But when my facebook friends start to post short, quick, stupid and most of all, grammatically tortured status messages, I could only only wring my arm in frustration. Oh well, there’s always the “hide” option.
I will start taking care of you again, blog. I just recently got fixed broadband connection so I will not have to worry about time running out before I could think of a decent post. I think that’s also one of my problem. I was mesmerized into getting prepaid internet. I was always rushing to finish my browsing/internet stuff within an hour because 20 pesos is too expensive for an hour. Your parent is such a cheapskate. But I’ve changed. Hopefully.
So my blog, I will visit you again and feed you stuff, but forgive me if I can’t give you gourmet dishes yet. But I will do my best to give you better nutrition, dress you up, and give you a better education. Wait, you don’t need education, ‘coz I’m smart already. Hah!
Oh okay enough of this.
Now where do I press the button to post this… oh here it is.
Been ages since I updated this blog. Sorry, I’ve been terribly busy. More importantly, I think Facebook is killing my blog. Posting lengthy articles was never really my forte.
I’ll try to be back.
Another year has passed. Sometimes when I’m alone with my thoughts I look back at the things that might have been. There have been a few regrets, but not surprisingly, I’m happier now. I’m not richer, definitely not younger, but I have grown wiser. I have a wonderful partner with me who has the biggest heart, and a family who will always be there, through thick, and thicker.
Happy birthday to me. 
The answer is, of course not.
To date, we have 46 cases. Wow. That’s… big. And we’re like, how many?
91.1 friggin’ million. So how big is the percentage of H1N1 cases relative to the population? I’m no statistics expert but that’s way below zero point something something percent (how terribly inaccurate but you get the drift).
So why are people panicking and succumbing to fear from something that is easily preventable?
Ignorance and stupidity. When the DOH reported an increase in the cases from zero to the 46 we have now, we immediately associate every case as that person being sick, and probably dying. But we forget that about 80 to 90% of these patients have already recovered, sometimes even without the need for medicines.
Okay, that is not to say that H1N1 is not dangerous. Yes it is infectious, and yes we need to take care of ourselves. But panicking does not help. Nor false text messages, nor over-reacting.
Again, the symptoms of H1N1 is similar to the regular flu, but if you get the symptoms and start thinking if you got the dreaded disease, use your brain first. Trace back, and ask yourself: Did you even go to areas or countries affected by the disease? Did you know of anyone with the disease? Did you even remember washing your hands or did you cover your nose and mouth when you or someone else sneezed? If the answer to any of that is no, then you should die not because of H1N1, but because you are an ignorant moron and you opted to panic rather than think rationally.
There is a bigger, and constant danger of Dengue, where the culprit does not care if you washed your hands, or covered your mouth, or if you traveled to the states. But just the same if you followed certain precautions, you’re safe.
So use your head people. You will save more lives that way.
