OK, I. Am. Going. To. Scream. PLDT, humanda kayo.
Because it is the new year and I don’t want to get my blood pressure up (as if it wasn’t sky-high already), I will not tell the whole tale of my undying angst with PLDT. Maybe I will tell it some other day, IF MY DSL DOESN’T GO BACK ONLINE! (If you’re wondering how I’m […]

Happy New 2010!
One of my favorite “Happy New Year” messages received via text this year: “Well, here’s to the start [of] another year… May it not suck as bad as 2009.”
Cheerful, aren’t I? ;)

Urgh, busy again… Sorry about the lack of updates!
I try to keep the “I’m-so-busy-I-can’t-breathe-or-get-up-to-take-a-leak” posts to a minimum, but it’s been more than a week and I just want you guys to know I haven’t forgotten Southbound… I’m just prioritizing my rest! :p Down with intestinal flu / gas / acid reflux last week (thanks to Aweng for playing Florence Nightingale), so was […]
