it's back!

Posted by Ana Lea

finally after about a week of unstable internet connection, smart bro techs came and fix my line. i thought they're going to change the antenna, but fortunately they did not have to because according to them the access point where im getting the connection just got crowded and so they just need to change the source of my access point, which is really great because it was less hassle for everyone becasue i thought they need to go up through our roof and do all the work of changing the antenna. they just did some configurations on their server and after like 10 minutes, it's done! :) im connected again.. and ofcourse (for verifying the fix) i tried to recreate the problem (para sure diba), i restarted the pc then checked if ill be connected and it did, i shutdown then restart then tried to connect and it's still connecting so..good! i did offer them miryenda but there were really in a hurry because they need to visit another location for troubleshooting, so they just left..and im happy.

it's been couple of days now with no internet connection at home, (that's why i cant update) bad trip talaga...im getting "Limited or No Connectivity". i phoned smart bro right away, did some troubleshootings. the tech told me that there might be something wrong with the NIC driver, and so i did reinstall the driver but no good. did system restore, no good.. so i ended up formatting my pc since it's been almost a year na rin the last time i format it. i phoned smart bro again, then what they told me is that the problem is with the antenna... ggrrrr... eh ni-reformat ko pa, bad trip talaga.. they said the antenna needs to be replaced, so e2 waiting pa rin ako but they still havent called me for the onsite service... hehehe... wala lng, it's just funny that i am now in my customer's shoe. so wait wait lang coz i know how it goes, but of course i need to follow up and follow up and follow up...haayyy...

if i could really be...

IF I WERE A BOY

If I were a boy

Even just for a day

I’d roll out of bed in the morning

And throw on what I wanted and go

Drink beer with the guys

And chase after girls I’d kick it with who I wanted

And I’d never get confronted for it

Because they’d stick up for me

If I were a boy

I think I could understand

How it feels to love a girl

I swear I’d be a better man

I’d listen to her

Cause I know how it hurts

When you lose the one you wanted

Cause he’s taken you for granted

And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy I would turn off my phone

Tell everyone it's broken

So they think that I was sleeping alone

I’d put myself first

And make the rules as I go

Cause I know that she’d be faithful

Waiting for me to come home

If I were a boy

I think I could understand

How it feels to love a girl

I swear I’d be a better man

I’d listen to her

Cause I know how it hurts

When you lose the one you wanted

Cause he’s taken you for granted

And everything you had got destroyed

It’s a little too late for you to come back

Say its just a mistake

Think I forgive you like that

If you thought I would wait for you

You thought wrong

But you're just a boy

You don’t understand (yea you don’t understand)

How it feels to love a girl

Someday you’ll wish you were a better man

You don’t listen to her

You don’t care how it hurts

Until you lose the one you wanted

Cause you've taken her for granted

And everything you had got destroyed

But you're JUST a boy…

helping hand

Hearing the words of God has always been a helping hand for me... and i thank Him for hearing me back and for giving me comfort at all times I need it.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed,

for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I

will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

We can close our eyes

to things we don’t want to see,

but we can’t close our hearts

to things we don’t want to feel...

my first try

cooking trip nanaman ako today hehehe... and ofcourse seafood again. i bought 1/4 kilo of these sugpo and made it as shrimp tempura.

first I cooked the shrimp in a low fire pan with a bit of butter, parang halabos lang just to cook the meat.

then i prepared the breading, ive found out on the internet that egg makes the breading "doughy" and that to use cornstarch together with the flour and an ice water ('dont know why it needs to be an ice water) to make it look flakey and crispy, so NO egg.. and so i followed.

I flavor the breading with salt and a bit of magic sarap to taste..... and here how it looked like, somewhat similar na rin to a real tempura...hehehe, im so happy. the coating is also crispy, it just did not turn out to be the real flakey look because i did not deep fry it, pero pwede na rin...hihihi..
