Globe Bradband, Tattoo

I got myself this globe mobile broadband internet package, the globe tattoo. The artist formerly known as globe visibility prepaid.

This is a just rebranding and the guys there at Globe just licked the USB Huawei dongle and put on this funky tattoo sticker. Just a marketing trick. No upgrade whatever. If any, that sticker could only just hinder better reception. And that sticker altogether keeps you from not seeing the LEDs indicator. I removed that useless sticker.

I got the prepaid version precisely to have the option to throw this piece in case it gives me NO internet feed/signal in places I frequent. If you're interested in getting the Globe postpaid broadband, I suggest you borrow a stick first and try it before getting a postpaid account with a troublesome lock-out period of 2 years.

The Tattoo globe prepiad costs P1895, but no lock-out period and easy to load. Simple load trasnfer phone is phone and you're done. Also has SIM included (you can send & receive text via PC.)

Anyways, I've read 1245 reviews of Globe mobile and 1240 of em are negative reviews so I a not expecting lot out of this. I just use this as back up net connection coz I don;t like to use my phone as my internet backup.

Ok Ill rate this now. I'll compare this Globe Tattoo with my pee. For some reasons, it's fairly strong only in the mornings and intermittent during the day.

So they better put that "intermittent" word on their product statement...

Globe Tattoo, This Is My (Intermittent) Internet

Sayonara SmartBro!

Today is the day that I'll finally be free of Smartbro. After my transfer here to our new "ba-hive" last March, I got 30% efficiency for this Smartbro ISP. Normally, or, abnormally, only pass 6:00 that I am getting good speeds. And so after 19 months, it's now out. I'm officially over with Smartbroke. Exactly 23:00 hrs tonight, I'll be free at last!

Home and Transpo - Back-2-Normal

Whoooo, finally after 2 months, my routine is back to normal. My home is done. Just a little over 3 weeks ago, I kicked out my sub standard contractor and literally made the homerun finishing for the works. That includes paintings, carpentry and a good amount of cleaning. In fact I think I am still stoned after consuming and sniffing 4 bottles of thinner and kerosene during the clean up. And so my dwelling is done, just some fixtures and furnitures to be bought. After the pro-longed renovation, no more dough. Fixtures and sofa and office table and bar like chairs will remain in the to-buy list for some weeks.

Also, exactly after 2 months after my car went on ICU, (they cant find the part - original civic sir steering drive shaft), I now have the wheels. Contrary to the quoted price of P7000 originally, the bill more than double to P16000 as they found other items for replacement. Thus, I repeat, Fixtures and sofa and office table and bar like chairs will remain in the to-buy list for some weeks. Last Feb, I swore that if ever I'll dole out another double digit car repair (that's 10K plus), I seriously consider selling the SIR. But man oh man, sarap i-drive ng SIR, I missed the roar and the speed. Besides, remembering, I no longer have the cap to get a new car financing plan. And so, I'll stick with my black mamba(barurot) car for now. (The 2 months I went on PUJ and TAXI and BUS mode, I did some meditations during the commute. I have made up my mind, I'll run on safe mode a la windows OS. I'll be more giving to the monster drivers and I'll take it easy on the pedals. I think, my driving style in the past made my car a regular autoshop visitor).

{Only prob that's breaking the life rhythm is my cranky SMARTBRO connection (no new news). Many times I asked my colleague in the office to call Smartbro Tech, three times they said, "ma'am your connection is fine". What the, why don't you move your ass in here and check it for your self. I am still not in boiling point with my home smartbro connection coz the times it's down, I am finding minor things to do at home, like installing racks, locks, etc. Damn this huge telcos (GLOBE & PLDT), I cant get it, why they dont have available telephone lines (and cabinets) here at my location. Geeesh, Im in the center of MAKATI CITY! and application of landline is now 2 to 3 months running. What year is it? 1998?}
