Trauma: Joe's Appartment

Last week, Thursday evening, around 9 PM, I noticed that there were weird scratchy sounds coming from my windows. Something was crawling on my screen... I thought it was a rat and I didn't mind it because rats can be easily caught using fly paper and a drop of honey as bait... :(

Unfortunately (*sob*), it was not a rat.. it was actually a swarm of cockroaches! HUHUHUHU!!! I'm not really afraid of cockroaches (well, after this I AM!), I'm just disgusted by them. The swarm was coming from a hole in my window.. T_T

My dad forgot to move his compost whatever for his plants at the back of our house.. and that attracted the cockroaches to our back yard then to my grandmother's room and my room. My dad was in Saigon and there was no reliable person at home... >: (

I was so helpless against a swarm of flying ipis (cockroaches). I just cried until my boyfriend came to my rescue...

(Tagged this with the "Evil Step Mother" label because the swarm was probably looking for her).

SQUACK YOU!

Ever since I tendered my resignation, I haven't been given much to do at work. "Just try to look busy" as per my team lead. So, I decided to change my Lineage 2 wall paper for a calendar wall paper from Smashing Magazine

Bad manners

Why on earth do you have to suck LOUDLY on your braces every minute? It's disgusting!

Excited

I have only 4 more days til I leave my current company.

I don't understand how this company sucked the life out of my savings when in my previous company, I could afford to eat out every day or have a cup of coffee from starbucks every day. My salary here is a lot higher than before but I feel poorer. Only here in this company did I feel like I couldn't afford anything...

4 more days...

Quick post: National Issues (in Tagalog)

Will post in my language because I'll be venting about racist comments about my people...

Here goes:

Puro galit na lang pinapairal nila, so tama na pag papakumbaba at pag hingi ng tawad. Nag sorry na ang presidente natin, tama na un. At least nga nag sorry pa eh. Pabayaan na lang natin sila dahil gusto nila manatiling galit.

Galit sa mundo. Tandaan nyo, pinoy nga ang naka sakit sa inyo, pero pinoy din ang lumigtas sa inyo.

Kung ang mga pinoy na lungkot at madaming namatay, sila pinili nilang magalit sa atin at ibaling ang matinding galit nila sa mga pinoy na naka tira sa bansa nila.

Ayoko na..

English mode again...

Here's what it looks to some people:

Because of one hostage taker, everyone in my country is seen as a criminal by their country.

Too much hate.

Shady Globe CSR Responses (Fair Use Policy)

I think they also don't know what to say about the issue... and it makes it even more annoying:

Hi Angelo,

Maraming salamat po sa inyong komento. Nais po naming ipaalam sa inyo na ang Fair Use Policy ay System generated lang po. Ang system po ang nag-aactivate sa inyong SIM card nag mag-avail ng mga promo ng Globe. Maaari naman po kayong mag-register pagkatapos po 30 calendar days.

Sana po ay nakatulong po ito sa inyo. 
 System Generated only..

To Mr. Jack:

Good day.

We sincerely apologize for the inconveniences this may have caused you.

Please be informed that National Telecommunications Commission is also the other party which implemented this rule to protect and prevent our subscribers from using the service in an abusive way. It is then by using the promos in group messages and for campaign purposes and so on.

Again, our apologies for this.

Sincerely,

Globe Customer Service 

"National Telecommunications Commission is also the other party which implemented this rule..." Pointing fingers...

Good day. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you.
The fair use policy states that call and text offers are applicable for person to person transactions only. They are not intended and should not be used for commercial purposes. Call and text offers must not be abused by the subscribers (i.e. subscribers must not make an unreasonable number of calls or make unreasonably prolonged calls).
Globe has decided to tighten the control measures on text spam to protect our valued subscribers from unsolicited SMS broadcasts. Rest assured that we are always looking for ways to serve our subscribers better.
Hope this information helps you with regards to your concern.
"Commercial Purposes..."  If they had proof that my calls were for commercial purposes, it would've been ok
Unsolicited SMS broadcasts... " Again... no proof that my text were unsolicited spam
"subscribers must not make an unreasonable number of calls or make unreasonably prolonged calls...
"valued subscribers..."  Aren't we ALSO considered as valued paying subscribers?

Sorry ,Ma’am/Sir, we have disallowed you from availing our Voice Unli promos due to Fair Use policy. NTC rules that promos are subjected to Globe’s Fair Use Policy. Globe Telecom reserves the right to terminate/suspend promo subscription/s that violates this policy. This policy prevents network abuse, allows us to fully optimize network capacity and maintain quality of its services for subscribers.

Best Regards,

Globe Customer Service 
 "Reserves the right to terminate/suspend..." Don't we also have the right to use and maximize the use of what we were paying for?
 "This policy prevents network abuse, allows us to fully optimize network capacity and maintain quality of its services for subscribers..." This is like telling us to stop using the promo and let other customers who are MORE IMPORTANT to Globe.



They implement the wrong policy.. and they're also saying the wrong things...


Update: Globe replied to my post yesterday...

Here's what I said:

Whoever implemented this policy should know that it wasn't well thought of and even an elementary student can think of it. (Parang nag submit lang kyo ng draft)

How can you say that the company has the "Right" to ban a person without proof that they were spamming or abusing... Obviously, those who are complaining are not the "evil spamming politicians" Globe was trying to protect their "Valued subscribers" from. and apparently, us who have been blocked from any promo are apparently NOT the "Valued customers" they are pertaining to.

Here's the reply:

sir bakabuta,

we only block the numbers that has numerous complaint of spamming from other subscribers. 


Here's what I said back:

Then that's is quite odd, since my number and my boyfriend's number were blocked. Even though we only use our globe sim cards to call each other. So how can there be "numerous complaints" from "Other subscribers" about our numbers?

I hope you fully understand that I have been even more agitated by your response. Since, the policy that Globe has implemented can also be abused by people who accuse other numbers of spamming. Globe will, without notice, block anyone who was tagged as a spammer without even verifiying if the said complaints were true or not.
