Telpad

If you get a call on your home phone and caller will offer you a deal, will you be interested entertaining the call? You probably will listen for a while as a courtesy to the caller. There are a number of telemarketers bugging subscribers selling all sorts of items or offering services. Be careful, some of them are bogus, in other words scam. I intentionally did not have my home phone listed on the directory for this reason. Those who knew my number are my provider, my bank and few relatives. Likewise some pizza stores or food chains who might have saved my number when my niece order s online. These pizza stores needed a phone to call, to verify the existence of the buyer.

I got two calls from my service provider offering me a package that would convert my television to internet television.  I am aware of the plan as they had advertised the product and services. I forgo the offer.  I have and old model television. I do not have an HDMI port on my television. An officemate told me I could buy an extension cord I could use for the television. The cord has both component and HDMI plug in.  I had been busy or possibly a bit lazy to go around for the extension cord.  I put the idea on hold for a while. The package is actually cheaper than subscribing to a cable company. 

Glad to be Back After a Long Absence

Hey folks, I had missed you guys. I was so excited when finally, after almost three weeks of waiting my internet is up and running. I disconnected my previous internet service provider to give way to the request of my nephew. We subscribed to another provider for faster internet connection. My nephew had facilitated the filing of application. That means our phone and internet is in his name. A tech accordingly called my nephew after three days of the application. The tech must have dialed a different cell phone number. After a week of waiting my nephew made a follow up. The tedious part was the waiting time for rescheduling of service order. Patience as they say is virtue.

Here is a photo I took from the small living room. Transferring to a new home is not easy especially if you have a limited budget. I am happy though I was able to get a place that is accessible to almost everywhere in Manila area. Neighbors are good. Except for the loud speaker of the karaoke and yelping of puppies, the place is quiet. I have new neighbors too, same area where the house we are renting is located. Except for one more wardrobe and automatic washing machine, I am pretty much complete with furniture and appliances we are to use. I type we for the benefits my new blog visitors.  I will share the house with my nephew and my niece.
