I am really starting to get annoyed with ABS-CBN news programs need for sensationalism. They are going overboard on their “exclusives”! I understand that it’s their way of attracting viewers aside from providing “information”. But I do think it’s overkill most of the time! There’s the torture video that they kept on showing again and [...]

Dealing with government agencies

Sasha — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 03:03:54 +0000

Government offices tend to give you a headache when you try to call them up for information. Most of the personnel are either grouchy or just plain rude! I’ve encountered my fair share in some of the popular government agencies and GOCC’s for the past couple of years and I must say that with three [...]

The danger of being a co-maker in a loan

Sasha — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 07:06:18 +0000

I did a stupid thing five years ago: I became a co-maker in a co-worker’s loan. It was an act of kindness. Loans were extended to the employees of the company I was working for and since we’re in the Finance department, we were prioritized by the bank. So to race ahead of other employees, [...]

Intermittent DSL connection

I am getting so darn irritated with my DSL provider! My internet connection since the typhoon Basyang is intermittent! I can connect but after a minute or two, I will get disconnected.

A friendly reminder

This is just a friendly reminder to all of us using Entrecard: not every site, especially those without proper widgets, is a good one.
