Still no dsl connection from PLDT.

Written by on

I think the customer service representatives of PLDT is getting peeved at me. :D I called them again twice today because when I first called in the morning, the guy that answered said that my dsl was still being processed for completion and to wait until the afternoon for it to get reinstated. So I did that and watched Totally Spies, Phineas and Ferb, Mysterious Ways, Medium, Rachel Ray, Barefoot Contessa and other television shows until I decided to call them again because I still don’t have my dsl connection back and it was already late. A girl answered and this time she apologized saying that they had a service error and my account was included that’s why it wasn’t connected yet today. She said to try it tomorrow. >.<

So I'll try it again tomorrow, hopefully I get the dsl working already because I really need to read up about global business and financial topics right now. And my pocket is empty already from loading prepaid credits just to get an internet access over the air. -sigh-

PLDT DSL still not activated.

I called 171 PLDT’s customer service hotline again today. Still received the same response to wait until the afternoon to get the internet service connected. Night came still no sign of the internet connection. So I would have to call them again tomorrow and get any information from them as to the status of my dsl service. I’ve been spending so much money for prepaid credits on my sister’s Smart sim card just so I can access the internet at home using her mobile phone (Nokia N70) as a modem. I wish PLDT would improve their processing and service.

Class Meeting # 3: Done.

We finally hit the magic 13 needed to get our PRODMAN turned into a regular class. So Mr. Bolinao started giving an overview for operations management earlier and went into discussing the global crisis we are facing right now. He talked about how it started with the bankruptcy of Lemahn, then the bailouts for AIG, Citigroup and other companies. I have to read more about where everything started and the turn of events that happened after that. Being back in school meant I have to start reading the news seriously again which I had stopped doing when I stopped attending classes. I honestly didn’t understand it at first but after sir’s explanation, it upped my curiosity. So I’m going to try and find more information and watch CNN or Bloomberg when I can.

RELSFOR was uneventful. Our professor didn’t show up. So I went ahead and picked up the books I reserved from the Pahiram Libro which is a project of the Student Council. I picked up two religion text references, one is the Compendium of the Social Doctrines of the Catholic Church and the other one is a book by Gorospe, I think its called, Forming the Filipino Social Conscience or something close to that.

ENGLTRI was good. I shared a quote that I liked and I chose an excerpt from Paulo Coehlo’s The Alchemist. The one that said something like, “Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than suffering itself.” That was really significant for me because I was so scared of going back to school after my long absence from the university. For next meeting, I have to come up with a product idea that I will be using for my sales presentation. Its a speech class and we have 3-4 individual speeches plus one group presentation which would be a panel discussion. I haven’t anything good in mind, I figured if Mom and I can find some decent packaging I can just try and bake a cake or some cinnamon rolls and use that. I’d rather bring something edible since it can double as my lunch or snack. Haha.

I wasn’t able to sleep much before I went to school because our dogs were noisy, so I ended up sleeping an hour before Mom woke me up. So on the way home, I slept on the bus till we got to Tanauan. Yay for cool buses like the Batangas StarExpress. :D I love big buses. I’m so sleepy now. >.<

P.S. I called PLDT’s customer service today. turns out my DSL reactivation is still in the processing queue. They are so slow. Seriously. >.>

No DSL still.

I am annoyed. My PLDT DSL has not been reconnected yet. My phone line has been reinstated but my DSL which is what I really need is still not working. We called their business office here in Tanauan but they said we would have to wait until their Manila office re-activates it. >.< Sheesh. I should have just asked them to cut my whole subscription instead of paying it last week. -sigh- Good thing my sister leaves her N70 at home when she goes to school at times so I load it up and use it as my modem. I think my Globe sim (which was given in DLSU) doesn’t work for surfing the internet. I tried to use it before but it doesn’t work, so I have been using my sister’s Smart sim card (which was issued by her school, Lyceum).

Class Meeting # 2: Done.

I got home around 4pm earlier. I got to school really early today. I arrived around 7:00 am. Yay me! During the first hour of our PRODMAN class, we were still 8 students. By the time the class ended, we were 12 so we need at least 1 more student to make it a regular class. If we don’t, we would need to petition for it to be a special class. I’m fine with that. RELSFOR class came and our professor said that the final student list came in and we were just 9. Yikes. So they are still trying to make arrangements with the OUR (Office of the University Registrar) to see what will happen to us. >.< My ENGLTRI professor finally came this meeting, yay! She let us go early though. Haha.

Oh well, second meeting has been quite eventful. We already have assignments for all 3 subjects. I’ll do them tomorrow. I wasn’t able to sleep last night (darned mosquitoes) so I am so sleepy now.
