New Year, Old Problems

Happy New Year everyone. Some current information before I continue with that internet problem I had a couple of months ago. I’ve been watching a lot of reaction videos on YouTube. Most of them have been of Filipino singers, Soldiers surprising homecomings and food eating contests. There are several Filipino singers that are tearing up YouTube right now. My favorite is 4th Impact, probably...

Updates and Continuing Internet Woes

Sorry I’m so far behind. I’ve got the end of year blues and my birthday is next month. I’m inching ever so close to the age where I could start collecting social security. Only 1 year, 2 weeks and 4 days until I’m 62. I suppose that, since I don’t work, then I should go ahead and start collecting early. It’s not near as much as it could have been, but it should...

Games and Movies, But No Internet

So I just sit here at the computer, playing games and writing things to put in the blog. Since today is Wednesday, I did go by Mango for Games Day. I brought my cell phone because Globe is supposed to call before coming by. Sometimes they do not, but mostly they do. They didn’t call, but I did play 3 games of Scrabble. I came in 3rd, 2nd and then 1st. I guess I just needed to warm up a little bit....

Internet Yet?

Quick things before I jump into the internet saga. WordPress 5.0 is now loaded on my computer. This is my first post with it. It’s different for sure, but so far I can live with it. Also today I figured out how to make the site secure. I’m grateful to Leonor for bringing it to my attention. I learned some things in trying to figure out what to do. It’s...

Internet or No Internet?

First of all, I’d like to explain why I’m a day or two late on this installation. I’ve been sick for almost a week and had a hard time even just sitting at the computer for any length of time. In fact, a couple of days I didn’t even bother trying. I consider myself to be at least 98% at the moment. Hopefully, there will not be a relapse because I wouldn’t want to go...

My Internet Saga Continues

The next few posts will be talking about my recent internet experience. If you want to know how it all began, be sure to read my recent post: Another Internet Experience. I have had 1 post that is after all these internet problems begin, so you might notice the picture were the building out front is already gone. SOB! I can’t catch a break. Since the power went out just as Globe finally showed...

Old News and New Beginnings

-This post will not be as long as the last one but I figure I should do my best to put something on this blog as often as I can. I go for stretches that are too long without any information going out. Today is 19 Nov (Monday). That is important information for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that my internet is down AGAIN. If you read my last post (Another Internet Experience) then you know the...

Another Internet Experience

Once again my internet went out. It seems to be a bi-monthly thing since they’ve done the upgrade. It went out the afternoon of Tuesday, 13 Nov. I waited the rest of the day to see if it would come back up, as it has a tendency to do at times. Not this time. The next day I called Globe in Manila, since they are the ones that schedule all maintenance. They told me that someone in my area cut a...
