:: 5.21.2003 :: ~i'll never let you go~ third eye blind saturday. *can't attend graduation. *can't join company outing. *can't visit pampanga. have other pressing matters to attend to. not that those listed above bear little importance. on the contrary they do. just that something came up. sort of. :D hi monique! hi jonathan! rob! :D inggit ako. :: Dush Wednesday, May 21, 2003 [+] :: ... :: 5.19.2003 :: ~give a little bit~ supertramp blogging now using a demo account by tri-isys. tri-isys internet offers unlimited account for P680 + vat. connection kinda slow, though. i'll just download a couple of songs then ask for another demo from net gazers. =D listening to supertramp right now. i've downloaded these quicktime gap commercials by seal, alanis, sheryl crow, left eye, macy gray, aero smith... each of them performing give a little bit. pretty cool. currently looking for rent to own condo units here in makati. found a good deal in the bel-air area. wish me luck. yesterday had a nasty encounter with a foolish taxi driver. as usual he "forgot" to turn the meter on and demanded my friend and i to pay twice the usual cab fare. oops. you're messing with the wrong people. we refused to pay the amount and asked him to accept our P100-payment. As we were about to get off the taxi, he won't let us. he was stepping on the gas so the car was moving if we attempt to get-off. arguments ensued inside the cab for 10-15 minutes. i threatened to file charges against him if he won't let us go and we consequently get hurt. he almost did. he badly needed the money i'm sure. but that's not a fair way to earn money / engage in business. now i called their company and i made sure he got suspended. wish he was fired though. drivers like him should not be allowed on the road. public transport are expected by the law to exhibit extraordinary diligence, not harm your passengers! i called several government divisions so his license would be revoked. i'd be happy file written complaints. i actually want this to be a legal matter. wonder if he can afford to pay a lawyer...i know his company won't back him up coz according to the manager i spoke to, this isn't the first time they received complaints about their driver joly perina. goodbye stupid fool, i'll do everything to make your life hell.=) goodluck to you. hope you know how to earn a living aside from juicing up your passengers from taxi-driving. :: Dush Monday, May 19, 2003 [+] :: :: 5.10.2003 :: ~Better Man~ pearl jam ..she lies and says she's in love with him..can't find a better man.. i just miss eddie. the guy sitting behind me is playing pj songs on his pc now and i'm feeling quite nostalgic.. those were the days ..think it was perry farrell who said that. funny things about techy people i received on my email: This will make you feel like a PC wizard! These folks could also qualify for the Darwin award!! 1. Compaq is considering changing the command "Press Any Key" to "Press Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the "Any" key is. 2. AST technical support had a caller complaining that her mouse was hard to control with the dust cover on. The cover turned out to be the plastic bag the mouse was packaged in. 3. Another Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his computer to fax anything. After 40 minutes of troubleshooting, the technician discovered the man was trying to fax a piece of paper- by holding it in front of the monitor screen -and hitting the "Send" key. 4. Yet another, Dell customer called to complain that his keyboard no longer worked. He had cleaned it by filling up his tub with soap and water and soaking the keyboard for a day, then removing all the keys and washing them individually. 5. A Dell technician received a call from a customer who was enraged because his computer had told him he was "Bad and an invalid." The tech explained that the computer's "bad command" and "invalid" responses shouldn't be taken personally. 6. A confused caller to IBM was having trouble printing documents. He told the technician that the computer had said it "couldn't find printer." The user had also tried turning the computer screen to face the printer-but that his computer still couldn't "see" the printer. 7. An exasperated caller to Dell Computer Tech Support couldn't get her new Dell Computer to turn on. After ensuring the computer was plugged in, the technician asked her what happened when she pushed the power button. Her response, "I pushed and pushed on this foot pedal and nothing happens." The "foot pedal "turned out to be the computer's mouse. 8. Another customer called Compaq tech support to say her brand new computer wouldn't work. She said she unpacked the unit, plugged it in and sat there for 20 minutes waiting for something to happen. When asked what happened when she pressed the power switch, she asked, "What power switch?" 9. Another IBM customer had trouble installing software and rang for support. "I put in the first disk, and that was OK. It said to put in the second disk, and had some problems with the disk. When it said to put in the third disk, I couldn't even fit it in..." The user hadn't realized that "Insert Disk 2" implied to- remove Disk 1 first. 10. A story from a Novell NetWire SysOp: CALLER: "Hello, is this Tech Support?" TECH: "Yes, it is. How may I help you?" CALLER: "The cup holder on my PC is broken -and I am within my warranty period. How do I go about getting that fixed?" TECH: "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?" CALLER: "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer.." TECH: "Please excuse me. If I seem a bit stumped, it's because I am. Did you receive this as part of a promotional at a trade show? How did you get this cup holder? Does it have any trademark on it?" CALLER: "It came with my computer. I don't know anything about a promotional. It just has '4X' on it." At this point, the Tech Rep had to mute the caller because he couldn't stand it. He was laughing too hard. The caller had been using the load drawer of the CD-ROM drive as a cup holder and snapped it off the drive. 11. A woman called the Canon help desk with a problem with her printer. The tech asked her if she was "running it under windows." The woman responded, "No, my desk is next to the door. But that is a good point. The man sitting in the cubicle next to me is under a window and his printer is working fine." 12. And last but not least: TECH SUPPORT: "O.K. Bob, let's press the control and escape keys at the same time. That brings up a task list in the middle of the screen. Now type the letter "P" to bring up the Program Manager." CUSTOMER: "I don't have a 'P'". TECH SUPPORT: "On your keyboard, Bob." CUSTOMER: "What do you mean?" TECH SUPPORT: " 'P' on your keyboard, Bob." CUSTOMER: "I ain't gonna do that!" :D :: Dush Saturday, May 10, 2003 [+] :: ... :: 5.5.2003 :: ~Not An Addict~ k's choice ...it's not a habit, it's cool, i feel alive:) HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all my beloved friends at kindred! veen, it's your birthday in 3 hours! hurray to that. will give you a call;) sweet peeps who are also celebrating their birthdays are: storm, fyro, kiggs and annie.
