Just got home from a short adventure. I planned to finally go (albeit alone) swimming at the olympic-sized pool at Philsports Complex, Pasig City. I’ve been pondering on starting on swimming as my cross-training for running for months now. But now that I finally muster up the courage to start, I couldn’t believe it didn’t go as smoothly as I hope that it to be.

I had to forgo a few nights of setting-up my dev environment because…

I just had to run Tuesday night. The weather promised a no-rain evening, I was not bitten by the lazy-ass-bug that day, and I was feeling a bit sluggish after weeks of nil exercise. So I asked a couple of my office buddies to run with me yet again at the Ultra oval. I said, they needed to see the newly installed fence there.

I promised myself that I’ll resume on Wednesday night. Come Wednesday night, last night, no internet. I had a feeling that the modem itself was faulty. I still proceeded to go through the basic troubleshooting of PLDT’s ZyXel P600 modem a number of times. When I was able to connect to the internet after a number of tries, I swallowed my pride and called 171 and allowed the tech support to guide me through what I was been doing on my own. When we were unable to retrieve a valid IP, she promised that someone will attend to my problem within 24 hours and she even apologizes for the hassle this caused me.

This morning, papa FYI’d me that the PLDT technician came to replace the modem and that internet is up and running again! Yey! Kudos to the speedy resolution to this problem, PLDT. I was actually expecting I’ll have to make a call again tonight regarding this.
