My husband bought me a Globe Tattoo broadband last year and since then have been using it when the need arises. You see, I don’t get to use it so often because there is always a free wireless connection in my place (yeah lucky me!) and also I find it a bit expensive and inconvenient to pay 20 pesos for 1 hour internet. I am always conscious of the time running and don’t get to accomplish much that way.
Well at first I found Globe Tattoo Broadband to be quite okay- speed is average since I am not really into downloading huge files. But I just noticed that there will be times when I would be connected but then would find it hard to open a website. To fix the error, I had to disconnect and reconnect again which would cost me 10 pesos already.
When an officemate informed that the Sun Broadband is awesome when it comes to speed, (probably because it is only available to Metro Manila residents and some parts of Cavite.) I wanted to try it and tried to have my Globe tattoo broadband unlocked but well compared to Smart Bro, it is very hard to unlock a globe sim so until now it is unlocked. I wanted a Sun broadband sim because they offer a one day unlimited internet so I am so happy when Globe starts to offer SuperSurf50 which would allow me to access 1 day of unlimited internet .
Unfortunately, the first time I tried it, it sucks. I mean, I can’t register to SuperSuf50. I tried to register all day one Saturday but all I got was a message to try again later.
On my second attempt, I was able to register and get to enjoy speed of 3.6 mbps. I guess the trick is to register on off peak hours- around afternoon or morning I guess. But I still encountered a problem. Globe Tattoo gets so so slow around 9 pm onwards and I only get to reconnect again in the morning.
So far that’s my assessment. It’s not so satisfactory and I do hope their service would improve in time. Right now, I am still researching for ways on how to unlock it. (lol)

Getting old in a society obsessed with youth and beauty is hard. It is very tough for some people to see their youth dwindle away because of failing health and dry and wrinkled skin. As skin is where the most visible part of aging takes place, many people are willing to spend a fortune for anti aging products, some try using glutathione just to hold on to their youthful looking skin for as long as possible.
Is therefore a blessing that there are companies like the Oxis International, Inc. that provides useful and latest innovations in skin care. Since it is a fact that aging happens when free radicals such as pollution and stress attacks the healthy cells in the body, one way to fight it is to load up of on antioxidants which destroy free radicals.

As an effect to the weird craving I mentioned in my blog post before, I suddenly remember the songs that I used to listen to during my college years. I love alternative and underground music- there’s something in it that is so beautiful, maybe the fact that it is not commercialized- gives it the magic of a hidden untouched treasure.
I get to appreciate these songs because I studied in a university full of radicals and activists and my sister is a fan of alternative rock music. She used to collects the tapes of bands such as Joey Ayala, Bagong Lumad, Yano, Buklod, etc.
I also get to enjoy these music during rallies and demonstrations in UP or during history class back then. I love almost all of the songs- but I remember that this one is my favorite- it touches my young heart then because the lyrics makes me feel the love of Lea for her husband. I wish there would be more songs like this:
Another nice love song from the Album and this one quite became popular before. This song made me cry once.
Must be an effect of the fact that I haven’t slept soundly in days and seem to be always running around to accomplish tasks- I suddenly remember something or more accurately someone. This is while I am trying to stay awake and alert in the middle of a busy work week.
I find myself wondering about a famous personality when I was in college- that was in UP Diliman. Out of a sudden, I wonder where that person is now and what is she currently doing. She once ran for the university council and won. She was a campus crush and I think her power lies in the fact that she is so different. You see she is a Muslim girl and she wears an abaya everywhere she goes. Her face looks like an angel and she is smart and can be funny too. She is striking but she wears no makeup at all so she looks so pure and natural. My fascination probably stems from the fact that I wanted to be like her.
I felt this urge to see her and know her whereabouts so I decided to search for her in Google only to realized that I had forgotten her name. That didn’t stop me because I tried all sorts of keywords until eventually I remember her name although there was very little info about her. Can you imagine, I almost spent one afternoon at work for that. Well I did saw her FB account but up to now she still has not confirmed me as a friend -what a snob (lol). I think she is currently working for a children’s center abroad. I also learned that she was a guest singer for an album of an alternative rock band and her voice was superb. Yes, I was able to download the song. Well the craving is really weird but I was glad that I was able to satisfy it in my own way. Besides it is also an exercise of my research skills (lol).
My husband and I are on our way home from the mall last Sunday when I noticed something different in the sky. It was a little past 6 pm and when I looked again, I saw a magnificent picture in the sky. The moon is in crescent shape and above it is a small bright star- which turned out to be Venus. The first time I saw it, I though there was a smiley face in heaven- only it lacks one dot or one eye. I excitedly pointed it out to my husband who was driving then.
In the morning at work, when I opened my pc, I saw that it was a news item in Yahoo Philippines. Many have also taken a picture and they posted it in Facebook. It’s funny because I thought I am the only one who had noticed it (how selfish of me lol). Well maybe if my husband and I did not go out that night, we would have missed it too so I am just glad that I saw it though I was not able to take a picture. That image made me smile on that beautiful night. Some speculates that is probably a sign or a symbol for something- whether a good or bad one no one can tell for now.
One of my friends in Facebook posted this story about love and marriage and I just want to share it here. It is pretty long but the time you will spend reading it is worth it:
When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce.
I raised the topic calmly. She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!
With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company. She glanced at it and then tore it into pieces. The woman who had spent ten years of her life with me had become a stranger. I felt sorry for her wasted time, resources and energy but I could not take back what I had said for I loved Dew so dearly. Finally she cried loudly in front of me, which was what I had expected to see. To me her cry was actually a kind of release. The idea of divorce which had obsessed me for several weeks seemed to be firmer and clearer now.
The next day, I came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. I didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because I was tired after an eventful day with Dew. When I woke up, she was still there at the table writing. I just did not care so I turned over and was asleep again. In the morning she presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from me, but needed a month's notice before the divorce.
She requested that in that one month we both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: our son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with our broken marriage. This was agreeable to me. But she had something more, she asked me to recall how I had carried her into out bridal room on our wedding day. She requested that everyday for the month's duration I carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning.
I thought she was going crazy. Just to make our last days together bearable I accepted her odd request. I told Dew about my wife's divorce conditions.. . She laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks she applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.. My wife and I hadn't had any body contact since my divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when I carried her out on the first day, we both appeared clumsy. Our son clapped behind us, daddy is holding mummy in his arms. His words brought me a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, I walked over ten meters with her in my arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. I nodded, feeling somewhat upset.
I put her down outside the door. She went to wait for the bus to work. I drove alone to the office. On the second day, both of us acted much more easily. She leaned on my chest. I could smell the fragrance of her blouse. I realized that I hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time.. I realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Our marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute I wondered what I had done to her. On the fourth day, when I lifted her up, I felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to me. On the fifth and sixth day, I realized that our sense of intimacy was growing again.
I didn't tell Dew about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made me stronger. She was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. I suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why I could carry her more easily. Suddenly it hit me... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously I reached out and touched her head. Our son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mum out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. My wife gestured to our son to come closer and hugged him tightly.
I turned my face away because I was afraid I might change my mind at this last minute. I then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded my neck softly and naturally. I held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day. But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when I held her in my arms I could hardly move a step. Our son had gone to school. I held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.
I drove to office, jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. I was afraid any delay would make me change my mind. I walked upstairs. Dew opened the door and I said to her, Sorry, Dew, I do not want the divorce anymore. She looked at me, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. I moved her hand off my head. Sorry, Dew, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other any more.
Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart. Dew seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave me a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. I walked downstairs and drove away. At the floral shop on the way, I ordered a bouquet of flowers for my wife. The salesgirl asked me what to write on the card. I smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.
That evening I arrived home, flowers in my hands, a smile on my face, I run up stairs, only to find my wife in the bed - dead. The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank.These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. Sofind time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage!If you don't share this, nothing will happen to you. If you do, you just might save a marriage. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
