FULL (of pastas and PLDT DSL)

FULL

I am very full.
and very sleepy.

Why do all pastas taste alike? All the pricey pastas are delicious, but somehow, they all taste alike.

Why do I like to sleep too much? If only i didn't sleep that much,
but i do. i fall asleep and i find it hard to get up in the morning. i procrastinate till kingdom come...

sigh...
...and a really big sigh
...and an even bigger sigh...

okay, it's now 12 midnight and PLDT's MyDSL connection is once again acting up. Or it's not acting up, because it's very SSSSLLLLOOOOOWWWWW. S-L-O-W. SLOW. Sometimes this DSL connection is really not worth it. I mean, dial-up connection is sometimes even faster. And it's usually like this. After midnight, I'm lucky if I even get to surf at all. And it only happens at night. In the mornings, it's the usual speed I would expect from a DSL connection that is quite expensive. And at night, I want to murder those PLDT monopoly bastards. I've tried complaining to their helpdesk, but of course to no avail. I mean, what can they do really?

Sigh.

It's a fact of life, but it's really sad that we consider this crappy service as a fact of life. It's a testament to how forgiving we are as a people, but it's also proof of how we allow ourselves to be abused and mistreated by those in power. Simply because they can. And simply because we think we have no choice. And simply because we don't want to rock the boat. And I'm referring not just to crappy "DSL" service from PLDT, but also to intermittent brownouts from Napocor, and water shortages from MWSS. The basic utilities, which, as taxpayers, we all have a basic right to be provided with. And don't get me started on taxes! and the road constructions that never end and highway toll fees that keep rising. I'm not even complaining about the transportation hike and the gas hikes yet. That, well, that's part of the economy I guess. But basic service! We're paying for their service, and they act as if it's their God-given right to be paid, and we're just lucky that they even bless us mortals with their mere monopolistic presence.

Grr...
