It’s Sunday and I just arrived in the condo from Pampanga. I have to go online so I could pass my homework to my groupmate. I also have to upload some org assignments. I hate you Globelines.

I’m now leeching off from the public wifi which is slower than dial-up. How the heck am I supposed to do all my work in this situation? Globelines gave me a Prolink Hurrican 5200 modem and ADSL light keeps blinking which, after googling with this sloth-like public wifi, means that the line is down. Screw Globelines.

My first month as a Globelines user isn’t even near done and yet a bill in a colorful and presentable Globelines Innove envelope reached the doorway in our house all the way back in Pampanga. How dare you Globelines.

Before we even applied for Globelines, I was choosing over BayanDSL, PLDT MyDSL and Globelines Broadband. Of course, the best choice would’ve been BayanDLS but it’s way beyond our allowance. PLDT MyDSL has already had a bad reputation when it comes to uptime and customer support therefore I went for Globelines Broadband and I thought I would never be bothered with internet connection problems again.

How troublesome.

Here in the Philipines at least, Twitter still isn’t as famous a household name than Friendster is. If that’s the case, then Plurk must be… “What the heck is that?!”

Eversince I found out about Twitter, I barely use my Friendster account. Sure, I have more friends in Friendster than in Twitter and although they aren’t really of the same kind, Twitter has been more fun for me. It’s been a heck of a job trying to promote Twitter to my real life friends. I’ve only got one real life friend using Twitter and the rest are friends I’ve met online. They don’t get the whole concept of it and I thought, “You guys are missing out on the best of Web 2.0″ And then Plurk came.

Yes, I know I’m on hiatus so I’ll make this post short. I just can’t resist but support my favorite web browser.

For all those who still do not know, Firefox 3 will be released very very soon. But instead of the normal releasing of an application, Mozilla would like to set a world record on the number of downloads in 24 hours. So they have a major event called Download Day 2008. All you have to do is pledge that you’ll be downloading Firefox 3 within 24 hours once it’s released. Once you pledge, you’ll receive an email from them on the day of release.

It’s not really called a burden on my part. It’s not an obligation either. Firefox 2, as it is, is already the best web browser and is supported by thousands of plugins and themes. Firefox 3 has more than 14,000 improvements since Firefox 2 making it faster, safer and smarter than it already is.

For those who until now are clinging to the out-of-the-box Internet Explorer, please try Firefox for at least a day and then uninstall it if you still think IE is better. I doubt that would happen though.

For all Firefox users, PLEDGE NOW! ^^

EDIT: I pledged at about 3PM a while ago and the pledge count then was only about 23,000 plus. Now, after about 8 hours, the pledge count is already 95,000 plus. It seems to be increasing by about 200 pledges every minute. Good job Firefox fans! ^^ Oh, and Japan seems to be in the lead among Asian countries. ^^ Ganbatte!
