Fresh Start at Filimags

It has been three days since our PLDT 3mbps connection started acting up.

KZ called them up about the issue on the first day.

I called them as soon as I got into the office switched everything on. Something was wrong on their line. DSL and Internet lights were off so there's nothing we can do but wai. We were advised to keep the modem plugged and switched on, which we didn't do (safety first).

To curb being unproductive, I channeled my energy to giving the place a modicum of cleanliness. By the end of two hours, the office was cobweb-free, swept clean of dust and aerated. The glass windows sparkled clean from vigorous wiping.

As a reward to a job-well-done, kz and myself too the 30-min bus trip to Hinigaran (2 towns away from home) for a meal at Mila's. The lunch crowd filled the place but we managed to fined a table for four at the back.

We were seated for almost half an hour already and wondered why nobody's taking our order. So I went up to the cashier and asked. We were supposed to place our order out front and get a "letter". Waah! The waiter should have told us that but he merely asked us if we had a "letter" already and left us when we just looked back at him with wonder.

Anyways, we had their much talked about "kansi". I did not fall off my chair with wonder but maybe it's just the time. Sis described the soup differently. Maybe I will try it again at an earlier time. For dessert we had their equally famous potato cake which I liked despite the crust being too sweet. It's the coffee that they need to work on to make better.

Back at the office two and a half hours later, the internet worked.

All is well.
