Sun Wireless Broadband
I was often complaining about Globe Telecom's slow internet access, so I decided to try Sun's Wireless Broadband, and as of today I can say that I'm a happy camper. It's way faster that what Globe provides. I did a test @ speedtest.net & here are the results:
and compared to my previous test (see the previous blog) there's a clear improvement. I hope Sun can keep this up.

speedtest, Globe
I've been using Globe's wireless internet for quite some time now. It's not as fast as they advertised, it's very slow actually. Maybe because they're advertising their speed in HSDPA while my phone (Sony Ericsson K810i) only supports 3G speed, but I don't think I'm even getting 3G speed w/ them. I finally did some test using speedtest.net, here's the result:

Cagbalete
Last July 21 me and my friend Nathan Cervillano embarked on a 9+ hour trip to Cagbalete Island in Quezon Province. I've always wanted to go to Cagbalete, inspired by the different stories & photos from blogs I've read. But when we got there, it was kinda disappointing, the place was beautiful naman but it's just the two of us kasi in the resort kaya siguro it felt lifeless and hapon pa kami nang dumating dun. The staff of Pensacola Resort was very hospitable although it was obvious that they were not expecting any new guest that day. Electricity is provided by a generator until 10pm, after that it was completely pitch black. We left around 7am in the morning as insisted by Nathan. Although it's not a perfect experience but it sure is very memorable. Don't get me wrong Cagbalete is beautiful. Siguro wrong timing lang ang pagpunta namin dun. Will I go back? Yes, Someday I will.

DVD
Just finished watching "Journey to the Center of the Earth" starring Brendan Frasier on DVD. The movie was OK, it's not that great but it's a fun film to watch (And this made me wanna read Jules Verne's original novel).The visuals & effects are pretty nice. So if your looking for something fun to watch try watching this film and also try to read the Jules Verne book.

It's been a while since I updated this blog. But I'll try to update it frequently, both with useful & non sense stuff.

Hyperdesk, Windows XP, Themes
A lot of people still prefer XP over Vista. But compared to Vista, XP lacks eye candy. But you can update the look of XP by using programs such as WindowsBlinds and Hyperdesk.I prefer Hyperdesk, because it uses XP's own skinning engine so it doesn't take as much resources.It's not free but it's not that expensive, a theme costs around $10 - $14, but you can try the Sony Ericsson Onyx Series Theme for free. A Vista version is being developed.

It’s been a while since I updated my blog, and I should do this very often. So what’s new? Nothing much, still has slow web access and I’m really getting bored taking in calls. But I have no choice right now but to do it, I mean I need to earn some income.I filed for 2 days vacation just to get off the phones and just relax for a while.

I've been complaining about Smart's slow internet connection and I can't wait to switch to Globe. After days of contacting Globe's customer support for the correct settings and activation of my internet, I finally gave it a try and boy it's as slow as Smart. It seems that I can't get a decent 3G signal in our area. Well it seems that I'm stuck w/ slow internet for now.

movie
I decided to watch Speed Racer right after work, I would like to watch it at IMAX but the idea of going to Mall of Asia just to watch it discouraged me. So I just decided to go to our local mall. I'm no movie critic, but overall Speed Racer is a very fun film, it's a visually appealing high speed film. Very different from the previous films by the Wachowski Brothers. I'm not really familiar with the original anime series, maybe I should look for it on dvd. Well if you're looking for a film with lot's of eye candy & mindless fun Speed Racer is definitely a GO!

Vacation, Calatagan
Ok this actually happened last week and I'm just writing about it today. I went to Calatagan,Batangas with 2 of my office mates. We stayed there for 2 days & 3 nights for a complete total relaxation. It was a relief to be off the phones and away from irate customers. And all we did was hit the beach, eat, sleep, build sand castles and play with Zion (he's an adorable labrador). It was actually my 3rd time to return to Calatagan and it won't be my last. I hope to finally see the parola (lighthouse) on my next return.
Sand Castle, oops Sand Airport
