The color yellow became part of her signature. I never really understood why yellow was the color for the whole aquino heroism and holiday until I actually searched it up today. The idea of the yellow ribbon came from when Ninoy referred to the song “Tie a yellow ribbon” in an interview. The yellow ribbon then became a symbol for Ninoy and Cory (not to mention on a shallow level, yellow did look good on Cory).

I just wanna give my tribute to madamme aquino, I was barely able to talk when she was president and barely able to see her T.V interviews (it was a time when cable TV was rare and blackouts we’re common) but she is a remarkable lady none-the-less. It is well quite a shallow attempt at glorifying Cory because really I don’t know much about her and I never had much curiosity till recently. In any case, the earthly world just said good bye to one magnificent lady may she rest in peace

I loaded 100 prepaid credits unto my cellphone on New Years Eve, Dec 31, 2008 and the next day after sending 6 messages of “Happy new year” my account balance became 0. I called Globe Customer support and they filed a report and well 21 days later after more than 21 follow ups, I still haven’t received any word about my complaint. Apparently this is a real problem with Globe specially if your on prepaid and don’t have a lot of ways to track your account balances. I can see that their customer support representatives are trying all that they can but the problem is they can’t do enough and their support division needs to seriously fire some lazy individuals. Imagine not having any way to contact people on your birthday of all days! What’s even worse is on that same day I was badly disrespected by a CSR who commented that “sir if you do not stop screaming this conversation will end”, first of all no matter how hard I scream (which is actually a justified expression of anger) that agent had no right and according to their codes of conduct should have not threatened that.

Our database servers for Wired was down starting the last week of December and are still down as of today. Eric has already sent tickets and I’ve already sent emails but still nothing so I called Philhosting last monday and I have to say, I have never been more rudely confronted by a CSR all my life. I complained that our servers have been down for almost a month and she immediately interrupted me saying “Sir I do not believe that your servers could be down for a month that’s impossible” in filipino. She kept interrupting me every time I said something and it was really getting on my nerves.

Coming from a country that boasts a great percentage of outsourced callcenters, you would expect better service that this right? Globe I can live with as he was probably under pressure but that woman from Philhosting was definitely too much and it seems I wasn’t the only one who was met with the same response. I already told our president that we want to move hosts as this is definitely the worse hosting I have ever seen. Just to warn everyone, never buy hosting from Philhosting unless you want a headache.

Anyways, I’m a little frustrated right now as the topcase of my macbook cracked again! I wonder why apple hasn’t honored this as a product defect yet! It’s a good thing that I still have Apple Care Warranty so I can have it replaced anytime. I recently learned that if you find your apple product breaking thrice you can have it replaced but I wonder if my top case could fall under those breakage. If it is then that’s two down.

Ynzal, a really highly recommended service center had their apple official reseller status removed recently and because they had a lot of patrons, they had a red tag sale last week to honor the support the community has given them. The prices we’re really great and I was able to get this great 4mac Macbook hard shell case. I got it in blue because I wanted to have some of the scratches hidden. Kind of Looks cool in blue doesn’t it? And the apple backlight is still very much visible as well!

But sadly the big crack is still visible, which is why I’m looking for a proudskin! Anyways I’m still in the ACTM room and my dad is already calling me… waaah have to run!
