The House Of Puroy Enterprises

Sure, there were rains these past few days, but none really so strong that could cause severe damages to phone lines, electric wires and the likes. So, why am I having intermittent internet connection again?!

It’s really is frustrating to be ‘hanged’ in the middle of your work and finally be met by the sign “Problem Loading Page.”

So, what’s the problem with Digitel again this time?

No, I didn’t bother calling them… yet. Why? Because I hate to be patronized with the scripted words “I’m sorry for that inconvenience, sir.” and “Is there something else I can help you with, sir?”

Really now, with companies with such technologies, you would at least expect that they would inform whenever they are doing some maintenance work in their lines… but nada!

You’ll just know it when call them after being frustrated by erratic internet connection.

But fail to pay your dues, and you’ll surely hear it from them.

I’m sure you’ve seen them in the malls, those big, open-shelves type hardware stores where you buy your tools, electrical supplies, and the like as if you’re just buying from a grocery store - you just pick-up the items you need. They were often referred to as do-it-yourself shops for all the handyman in us.

Yesterday, I learned first hand why they called them do-it-yourself shops.

Just when I thought that I would have peace of mind because I am not receiving and text adverts for quite a while now, nor do my cell phone credits mysteriously disappear… I received a text from Globe which says that I could get 15 free text credits if I would be able to load a total amount of P340 for the month of September.

What?! 15 for P340?!

Honestly, I could accumulate that amount from my monthly load without a problem, but to equate 15 free texts for such an amount… should I be thankful?

I am lucky that whenever I encounter some technical glitch in my blogging or in using the computer in general, I can always holler at some friends for Computer Support and they will immediately come to my aid. It is really important to have technical support at hand, especially when you are as clueless as this blogger when it comes to technical stuff.

Taking care of our elders was never really an issue in our country. That is because elderly care is part of our culture, having very close family ties as our tradition. Yet, because of the passage of time, practicality, financial and other reasons, there are times that families can no longer provide the quality time necessary to look after their elders.

It’s really is frustrating when your main source of income depends on the internet and you’re internet connection is going haywire. Makes you want to smash the monitor of your computer like you would a television (sounds familiar?).

For more than three weeks now, my internet connection has been very erratic and I have called Digitel to inquire about it. But before I called them, I got my PC checked and upgraded the memory of my computer (because I thought it was my PC’s fault before).

After fixing my computer and still getting the same problem, I called them and they informed me that there was a ‘network fault.’ What’s funny is that they asked me when my internet problem started. Imagine that, they know the problem yet they asked when it started?!
