Smart Bro Sucks

Smart Bro Sucks. Smart Bro Sucks? I always read among bloggers they hate Smart Bro that much, but what is Smart Bro first? Smart Bro is the ‘leading’ wireless internet provider here in the Philippines, the other player PLDT MyDSL, which is wired. Smart Bro is a:

“Smart Bro is Smart’s revolutionary high-speed broadband Internet service that uses the nationwide network of Smart to wirelessly connect your computer to the World Wide Web – even if you’re beyond the reach of a phone line.” If you didn’t understand it, Smart Bro is getting it’s ‘internet connection’ via Smart’s communication facility, did I mention Smart Bro is also own by Smart the leading telecommunication provider here in the Philippines, they own PLDT too.

I don’t know if I’m just lucky or what, because here in my place, Smart Bro signal’s is OK, contrary to what other is saying, they are very pissed off with the service, and when you call their Costumer Service hotline, they just promise you that tomorrow it will be normalize. If i experience i will not pay my monthly bill!

Happy Earthday!

Happy Earthday!

Yesterday we celebrated Earth Day! and i will not know it without Google, their search engine homepage reminds that it’s Earth Day! Even we’re so busy in the cyberspace we must know how to care for our Earth, because it’s the only planet we can live in, only planet we can breath in. How i celebrate Earth Day? i admit it’s not that big event for me: the radio station i’m listening to, suggest that i should not take a bath on that day to conserve water, but OMG! it’s so hot here in the Republic of Philippines so instead of twice i just take a bath once! When i’m still in my HS i’ve read a question that goes this way: If Earth has birthday, what present would you gave to Earth? Remember Earth has Everything! Hhmm. could you answer that for me?

Some Earth Day Facts:
1. Earth Day was founded by U.S. politician Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in in the late 1960.
2. Many cities extend the Earth Day celebration to be an entire week, usually starting on April 16, and ending on Earth Day, April 22nd.
3. Earth Day is now observed in 175 countries, and coordinated by the nonprofit Earth Day Network, according to whom Earth Day is now “the largest secular holiday in the world, celebrated by more than a half billion people every year.
