• My 25th Birthday

    I notice that every year birthdays become less and less special. However, this really isn’t something to be sad about, it’s just part of growing up. My 25th birthday the other day (January 29th) was nothing out of the ordinary. I practically spent the whole day in the office! So, what I did was I got myself a “toy” to make the day a little bit memorable:

    Sun Broadband

    Tada! A SUN mobile broadband. It was Mae who introduced this to me last December, and so after I got my Globelines account terminated, I went straight to a SUN Shop, demoed a unit, signed up for an account, then took it home with me (yeah, I’m that impulsive). The SUN people told me it would take less than 24 hours to get activated, but that didn’t happen. It finally started working a few hours ago while Mae and I were at Riz’s place. This was 32 hours later.

    The connection? So far, so good! But I’m keeping my fingers crossed cos we all know how crappy Sun Cellular’s signal can get, which is not far from happening with their 3G or broadband service too. But at least I’m not stuck in their 24 months lock-in period since I opted to pay for the dongle in full (P2,500). Monthly unlimited use is P799.

    I appreciate Riz and Mae for “celebrating” my birthday with me last night (I don’t mind that it’s one day late). Thanks for surprising me with a slice of cake + candle! :P

    Past birthdays: 21, 22, 23, 24. (Ugh, I’m old).

    Oooh interesting. Haha I’ve been doubtful about their broadband ever since I’ve seen it, but I think we also have this at work. I hope they make this one work better than their signal. :P

    Hey. Pretty nice. :) I’ve actually been eyeing the Sun’s Wireless internet too but I’m just waiting for more reviews to come out. Do share your experience with it Joni :)

    And, Happy happy birthday! Don’t worry about getting old fast. The important thing is you remain a young at heart. Ha! :)

    Sabi Sun’s broadband is from a different cell site than what they use for the phone signal :)

    happy birthday Joni. Hope you had a nice time on your birthday…

    Keep me posted on that mobile broadband.. I’ve read decent reviews on it that its better compared with Smart and Globe’s if you’re within their zone, that is..

    Happy belated JONI! Of course your special day was special. And even if you had a crumby day, I trust you realized that you’re special and noteworthy because you’re CHRIST’s creation!

    Ciao for now sister. May your 2009 be full of blessings and unexpected successes.

    Hey, I was born the day before you! The 30th. Anyway, wishing you a belated Happy Birthday.

    I recently wrote my 100th post (combination birthday + return to blogging celebration post). I feel so rusty… as a blogger. LOL. I guess I’m so out of the loop now… coz very few people are dropping by to comment on my new post. LOL.

    My blog feels so… lonely. GHOST TOWN. Hehe.

    Anyway, hope you are well… and thinking of you and your situation with your father’s health. You’re in my prayers.

    Take care,
    Massa P
