Can we survive without the POLITICS?

 

When I decided to move, and change my life completely, I thought I was leaving the politics behind or was I?

No more talk radio, no more news, no more lies by the ordained class. Just Rowena, Arabella, the dog's Spot and Naix, yes I escaped I thought.

Since I speak only one word of Tagalog (see ), I can ignore all politics, except the wonderful ways of the internet companies do business.

Yes folks, in the good ole USA you could pay your bill, and manage your accounts online.

Yes, the all-powerful internet provider, says you have over extended your bandwidth, and we have turned you off!

Yes, I think in all languages off is off!

Ok, so we treek down to PLDT to wait at least one hour to find out it won't be turned back on for 10 days, what? 

Now when you enter PLDT it's pretty, it sophisticated, big screen NBL basketball, wow, machines to ask questions? But no one to just accept your payment ( which was not due yet ) to say we are sorry for the inconvenience, and turn it back on?

I wondered, are we still in the good days of Bell telephone? 

Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922), the Scottish-born American scientist best
 known as the inventor of the telephone, worked at a school for the deaf while
 attempting to invent a machine that would transmit sound by electricity. Bell was granted the first official patent for his telephone in March 1876, though he
would later face years of legal challenges to his claim that he was its sole inventor, resulting in one of history’s longest patent battles. Bell continuedhis scientific work
 for the rest of his life, and used his success and wealth to establishvarious research centers nationwde.

Yes he was my great, great grandfather, but I think that carries no weight with PLDT?
Would it be out of character to say (did you know Alexander Graham Bell was my great, great grandfather )?

My guess is we are not in the 19th century anymore; so why does this company inconvenience its customers? Isn't this the twenty-something century?

Today everybody has cell phone access to the internet, then why can't PLDT build a website to accommodate its customers? And WOW offer a new innovation, upgrade and pay your bill??

Instead, they turn you off, and then tell you have gone over your limit?,

Then yesterday, we again returned to PLDT to yes pay the bill on time. Then again my beautiful Rowena has a long conversation, but still it will not be turned on until May 10.

So on Sunday afternoon, as I was ready to watch the Supercross from 

Salt Lake City,  boom the little circle, yes the one that goes round and round and round and round appears.  Oh, and a little later on my phone, a message ALERT ALERT ALERT you have overextended your usage. BOOM! 

Just like a bomb dropping on that guy with the funny hair, you're out!

Yes, it's true, I have not escaped the politics! I sure hope when you sit down to do some important work, or maybe watch your favorite program, if it doesn't go BOOM!
