I've attached an image that is self explanatory.

It's not worth it paying Php995/month on 512kbps ZTE wireless modem that always timeout when you needed it the most. The sad thing is I don't have much of a choice, there is no smart in our place, no WiMax, no pldt internet. It's so sad right? For a person like me who have a Degree in computer science, loves surfing, downloading stuff like anime, music, online project collaboration, part time work (outsourcing), etc. Having this kind of connection is frustrating. It's gone from worst to even worst.

I've already reported this issue to their office buy as of now, no reply, no technician.

Well for you guys, who want to try something about your connection, these are the things that you can try.

1.) Change DNS Setting (Auto is slow since it's Globe and it's overpopulated)
Steps:
a.) open your favorite browser (IE, Firefox, etc)
b.) Type in the url: http://192.168.0.1/, something like the attached image will display. Based on what I've observed the higher Ec/Io means connection.
c.) Click APN Settings
d.) In the DNS Tab, select Manual DNS. You can enter different combinations here, it depends on your place. I'll enumerate some:
OpenDNS (fast but restrictive on some sites)
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Cisco (this one is ok for me)
64.102.255.44
128.107.241.185
DNS advantage - worst here
156.154.70.1
156.154.71.1
Globe's
202.52.163.6/202.52.163.7
202.126.40.5/202.95.226.66
202.52.162.39/202.52.162.40
208.52.162.39/202.52.163.7

Play on the values, you might hit a good combination :-D.

I'll be posting next how to edit LAN configuration (optimal in some ways).

Disclaimer: This is my insight.

Well, I have this extra time and while watching TV I saw Noynoy declaring his candidacy.

Hmmm... So the question is will I vote for him? Will you both for him?

He has a popular background, thanks to his parents. But did they really do that much? Think about it, it's a long history. But let's see why are they popular, it begun when Marcos had crossed his limit and US got pissed of him. It was Aquino Sr, who opposed Marcos face to face, his brave. Unfortunately, the question, what did he do? Free us from Marcos? No he didn't it was the US government, and if you will research for it you will find something in the US congress that is about ousting Marcos and also the 7th Fleet is in the Philippines (with all it's soldiers) and US fighter planes flying in our territory. Don't believe me? Then ask your father or grandfather :-D.

And About Mrs. Aquino? What did she did? Remember during Marcos time, other countries have high regard for us. But after she became President, what happened? Do I need to explain that? Well, it was very obvious right? Less jobs, so much crimes, so much showbiz, so much politics, what can you ask for. (I'm getting carried away hahaha). By the way Marcos had built lots of government institutions like Heart, Lung center, roads, skyway. Unfortunately, these things were I think left to decay or sold away.

So in short, will I both for Noynoy? No, looks what he's doing. Is politics showbiz? I'm not singling him out though, to be honest I don't have anyone to vote for President right now. I just hope if he wins, he will do something. Something that we all wish a President would do.

So much for this topic.

12PM today is the time, September 7, 2009.

We love you, and we will continue simply because HIS teachings is well integrated in our system as well as in our heart...

No worries on that, we will live and continue on this way and we will die here...

Paalam na po Ka Erdy. Maraming marami pong salamat.

(Seldom do I see my whole family so emotional like this way.)

Well that's the first announcement, but now it seems IT, BPO companies are exempted from this.

Luckily I'm working on a research institute.

Staying late tonight to watch his last make. Streaming video is available here: http://www.gemnet.tv/streaming.html.

Other channel where news are available are:

www.net-25.com and gemnetwww.tv

I should sleep at 11PM tonight, but fortunately I've finished a part of my part time job which is enough for today. So I guess I have another 15 minutes to blog anything.

Since, I'm new to my job let's try to evaluate it.

Assumptions:
1.) I thought I would really be a DBA,
2.) Simple, peaceful, quite life - compared to Makati & Alabang
3.) No traffic

Note: My new company is IRRI (International Rice Research Institute)in Los Banos, where green trees abound.

Reality:
1.) I've proposed to develop the new features and convert some existing to eclipse-rcp and they approved it, so I guess it will be challenging. Right now, I'm working on a mobile project, which is really I didn't expect. But I'm enjoying it I just hope they will provide the license softwares :-D. M$ is to expensive.

2.) It's really peaceful here, I leave at 8AM and go home 5PM sharp :D. We don't really have an attendance, but I'm honest with my schedule so I'm sticking in 8 hours work daily (some are not).

3.) So far I'm satisfied, am I really?

-The start.
We'll going back what really brought me here. Almost 7 years when I started college, I've fell in love with the Japanese anime and their culture. Got interested like most of my colleagues, so I started building my collection and I got more and more interested. So I told myself why not dream of working there after graduation. Everything went ok in college and I got a degree of BS Computer Science in University of the Philippines Los Banos, Laguna.

-The first failure
I first applied at Tsukiden, a Japanese company of course. After 2 exams (it's quite hard) and interviews, I got accepted and was passing my requirements. When one day I received a phone call, I got a problem with my lungs, and they don't want me. Even though I got a medical clearance after a month, they said I should rest for at least 5mons?

-The side road
Well, that's quite long, so I was really depressed and constantly thinking what went wrong. Why did it have to happen. But I know I cannot do anything about it, I also know that if I apply in another company in Ortigas or Makati the same thing might have happen again so I applied in a Software company in Carmona - AAMEnterprises. We develop C# applications, and I was assigned to develop backend frameworks. I really enjoy my brief stay in here of 6 months. I don't have a problem with the boss, they have US mindset even though Filipino. We often go out, even today even when I'm already not in the company, I go there from time to time. Sometimes like most recently, I gave a lecture on Java on the company's new staff.

-After 6 months
I applied in another Japanese company, well I really want to be there (in Japan). And I got accepted in Imerge-Online Blue-Eyed Dragon as Software Engineer. We develop using the prototype model, wherein our software specifications were in nihongo. So I was really interested. And after 3 months working I attended a Japanese school after office. I was working 9am-6pm and studying 7pm-10pm, Saturday 8am-12pm sometimes 11pm. I got really tired everyday. Since I was alone in the apartment, I do all things alone. Usually, I wash some of my clothes on Friday evening around 11PM, and brought the remaining home. Well, I don't go to laundry shop those days because I'm very busy.

How's life in there? Since it's in Makati, traffic always.

Cut - I'll continue this some other day :D.
