Online at last!

Thumbs up to PLDT. I paid the installation fee last Saturday and their contractor came to my place on Monday afternoon. The only problem is I was at work. The guy came back early yesterday and got the phone and the DSL line installed. Now to see if the service is as horrible as its rumored to be.

One month into the adventure

It's been one month since I moved in and a few things I've learned and realised:
  • I should have delayed buying a washing machine and pay for laundry services instead. In the end, it will end up being cheaper if I factored in the soap, water, electricity and my time and effort.
  • I should have taken care of internet connectivity ASAP so I can blog about my experience regularly.
  • I should have bought a more advanced induction cooker specifically something with very accurate temperature controls. The one I have does not have settings for temperatures below 140 degrees celsius.
I now know how to prepare a few dishes like:
  • sunny side up egg
  • omelet
  • longganisa
  • hotdog
  • ulam burger
  • pancake
  • chicken nuggets
  • pansit canton
  • noodles
  • tinolang manok
  • nilagang baboy
