Ever since the days of missing Globe load, I rarely load my cellphone for fear that they may just “disappear.” Although there were reports that this bug has been fixed, I still do not maintain load credits on my cellular phone.

I tried registering to the Globe unlimited texting feature which is the UNLITXT20 just to save my credits from “load bandit.” However, since I rarely send text messages and I do not really receive text messages, the 24 hours would pass with me not consuming the entire P20 load actually. It was still a waste of money.

That is why I was glad when the ImmortalTxt service was launched.

While it was limited to 50 text messages, it has no expiration date and thus I am not pressured to make send messages just to make the credit worthwhile. Plus, I still have 10 extra load for sending to other networks.

Unfortunately, this service is no longer available. It ended last February 28, if I’m not mistaken.

I really wish this service would be back soon, as it is thus far the only Globe product that I can really appreciate.

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.
