Gone for a Week

I am scheduled to leave for Odiongan, Romblon on the del8th/del 12th of December 2007. I’ll be checking out the new rented place (spacious floor area 4×6 meters) for our business (along with the merchandising and soon-to-include iCafe). The said establishment is located in front of the Romblon State University. Complete with a comfy bed, bathroom and a kitchen, this will be my second home to stay for a few days. I may travel from one place to another like to Looc, Romblon (another branch) and to the capital of Romblon (where my uncle priest resides there) for example. It may be one of the not-so remote provinces in the country but data connections like Internet and mobile networks are readily available.
I had to spend some dime on renting a PC on Internet cafe’s there. The last time I did was back in the summer of 2005 and the connection speed was like worse than dialup. If that’s the case even the day I arrived there, I’ll have to rely on my mom’s N92 to check out email and reply to comments. Besides, even without 3G connection in that area, GPRS (Smart) still dominates the data connections for mobile devices. A little bit slower though than 3G.

UPDATE: It should be “Gone for 2 days” not “Gone for a Week”. Wahehe. I need to go back gain after I went to Romblon last Wednesday. Imagine you left for Romblon at 5 pm last Wednesday and arrived 4:00 am Thursday. Then the same day, you left Romblon at 5 pm to Batangas. It was tiring, really. Long story. I’ll be back there again on the 20th.

The Three Things I’m Addicted To

Kuya Dom tagged me with this meme. This time, I had to write my 3 things I’m addicted to on a piece of paper, take a photo of it and place it within this post. Thinking of the everyday things that I normally do, I came up with these three things that needs to be fulfilled. Unable to do so will cause panic and chaos, enough to eradicate the world as we know it! Wahaha. Kidding aside. Simply my day is not complete without fulfilling three of my everyday addictions. What are they?

No dialtone, No internet.

I hate when this happens. Digitel services here in our area was down for at least 26 hours. For me it was difficult to cope with knowing that you have yourself a computer but nothing else to do with it. For the past years, I mostly use our computer for internet usage. I spend at least 4 hours reading, surfing, blogging on the internet and such DSL service interruptions is not beneficial. I feel restless yesterday my routine was come to a halt. It’s different though when I’m in a days or weeks vacation, I can quietly cope with that but not more than a month. Even if an internet cafe is around, I don’t usually go there just to surf. In case there’s a need to do so but not always actually.

Good thing today I heard the phone rang, indicating that the line was now OK. Yipee!
