World without Internet
Saturday, May 24, 2008

I couldn't imagine, I couldn't imagine. How would the world be without internet?
Arrghhhhh. I was tortured for 1 week in Cebu,Philippine searching for internet connection.

1st incident happen when the internet cafe I used to go experience a sloooooooow connection. I do mean slow here. 30 minutes and I could only read 1 email. OK, take note, I was just READING, not even manage to reply.

2nd incident is even better... this small internet cafe run by a middle age woman without IT knowledge. Firstly, she doesn't allow me to use my laptop, I wonder what's the big deal, just plug out a Lan cable. ... :( she was afraid once I plug out and cable, her computer cannot work anymore... oh goshhh
And then, there's only 1 small energy saving bulb in the middle of the room 20feetx20 feet. She doesn;t allow me to use the PC right underneath the bulb, but put me to a corner. I can't even see my finger!!! Then the 15" CRT monitor is like just 1 inch near the graveyard, I have to put my face just 6 inches from the screen.....
Lousy!! Lousy!!!

I have never had this lousy expereince before.... well... another 30 minutes that I can send out 1 email to inform my representative in Manila that I'llbe flying in. how "GREAT"...

I gave up on those internet cafe and decided to get a prepaid dialup. Haahah ... suddenly, the 56K dial up connection is so important ... even though it's slow, it works!!!!

Thank God that dial up connection has not been phased out yet...

And fianlly, I'm in Manila and I'm connected again .... YEAH!!!!
