Golden Eggs Reunites...

The Development Studies Batch 2003 was christened as the "Golden Eggs" by our Program Director, because he felt we had the most promise out of all the batches that he has encountered over the years. he has always been proud of us because of who we are what we had accomplished. we were one weird agglomeration of different personalities and personas, ideologies, and thought processes. and yet, we stood out to be one heck of a batch.


since one of my batchmates was here for only a week before he returns to continue his studies in Singapore, it was decided to have a mini-reunion at the department. we weren't complete, but it was always a good thing that we had a gathering like this so that we can catch up on things.


anyhow, a plan has been set for 2008: a trip to Cambodia. sana makaipon ako.

the morning after hearts' day

just a day, just an ordinary day... oh well... a single guy surviving, coping with perpetual singlehood.. things are just what they are... you just have to accept it.


any how, here's a good song lyric...


WITH YOU


Not to worry on a rainy day
Was a promise it will go away
What a joy, what a sunny day
Having you takes the sadness away


Refrain:
With you
Everything seems to go my way


Chorus:
Hold on to a beautiful day
It will lift you up, take you to the top
Hold on, cos it’s here to stay
To help you get through the day everyday


Need to listen to the sound of your laugh
There’s a promise for a sweet embrace
What a joy, found a friend in you
Having you takes away the blues


[repeat Refrain and Chorus]


[repeat Refrain and Chorus]


[repeat Chorus]


Everyday


[repeat Chorus]

yan ang napapala ng globe....

The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) ordered Globe Telecom to suspend an allegedly devious promotion that supposedly increased the offering rates for its unlimited short messaging system (SMS) service by over 100 percent, an official told INQUIRER.net Monday.

NTC deputy commissioner Jorge Sarmiento confirmed that the agency ordered the mobile phone operator to stop implementing the promo pending a public hearing.

The NTC Commissioner Abraham Abesamis ordered mobile company to "hold in abeyance the implementation of the new unlimited text service and restore the unlimited text promo priced at P10 for one day, P25 for two days and P50 for five days."

The agency's order cited TXTPower's complaint as the basis for the order and added that a public hearing will be held to settle the dispute.

The NTC order came after consumer group TXTPower filed a complaint on February 1, the same day Globe implemented the new price hike. The group urged the NTC to look into the "creatively crafted" promotion.

TXTPower co-convenor and spokesman Anthony Ian Cruz said Sarmiento met with the group Monday morning to tell them that the NTC had suspended the promo. Representatives of the local consumer group trooped to the regulatory agency's office in Quezon City to protest Globe Telecom's plans.

"[NTC deputy secretary] Jorge Sarmiento met us after the picket to tell us the news," Cruz said in a text message.

"This is good news and we hope the order becomes permanent," Cruz added in an e-mailed statement.

"We hope the NTC makes sure Globe follows the order and rolls back to the previous rates immediately. We will prepare for a public hearing to demolish Globe's arguments and show why keeping unlimited text messaging rates at the lowest possible levels is a legitimate pro-consumer and pro-business move," he said.

Last week, TXTPower met with lawyer Lucio Espinoza, Jr., chief of staff of NTC chairman Abraham Abesamis. During the meeting, the official told the group that the agency was going to look into its complaint.
