Sep 10-18 specs

9/10/13 Tuesday
Fudge it. Went ahead and ordered prescription eyeglasses online, last night. My poorly made one is stressing me out, breaking me out.
5:30 p.m.
Winnie called from the shop to tell me that I need to change my order from mid-index to high-index lenses. I expected it. I was switching between the mid- and high-indexes last night because my prescription is in the high negatives. They'll let me know how much more it's going to cost me tomorrow.

9/11/13 Wednesday
Winnie called and it will be 3000 on top of what i already shelled out. Excellent. It will be for the super-duper thin lenses, jargon is high-index 1-point-something. I asked them to email me the details. No more goggle lenses? Can't wait.

9/12/13 Thursday
No acknowledgement of payment and email reply re:details of the extra charge so I called them. Payment was received and my order papers already sent to the lab, but she'll get back to me when they get the papers back.

Received an email, it had the tracking info for my purchase. So, it's ready to be shipped. Counting the days...

9/18/13 Wednesday
One day. They're here. Excellent. Really thin lenses? Check! Small frames that don't fall down my nose? Check. They're going to stretch eventually (all of them do in a year or six months at least) but they fit great now and that's what matters. It feels good to wear them. They got the prescription right so moving from my old specs to this one is hardly noticeable. Makes me not care that they didn't email me the details I asked for. This is what I needed. I'm happy.

Cold, Windy, Audacity, Congee

Lovely weather now. It's cold - not too cold that I have to bundle up - it's nice. It's windy outside too. Mosquitoes in my room are not afraid. It used to be that when you wave a hand over one that's "dining" on you, it would fly away. Now, when I feel an itch on my leg and put a hand over it ever so calmly, I squash the bug. Gross. Here was my dinner yesterday, chicken congee or arroz caldo . Suitable dish during cold weather 'cause it's filling and the spiciness from the ginger hits the spot.

Paymaya duplicate account 2018 [fixed]

How to fix a Paymaya Duplicate Account issue? Do not waste your time sending an email to support@paymaya.com or messaging PaymayaCares on FB because you will only get a canned response (and a headache). YOU NEED TO TALK TO A HUMAN BEING... If you do not have a landline but you do have a Smart number, call *788 directly. This is free. That's what I did. I spoke with a rep and she fixed it right away, mabilis lang. She said the BSP (Bangko Sentral) is strict and will only allow 1 upgraded account per user. Any attempts to upgrade a different number will flag the new account and put you in this duplicate account mess and you won't be able to add money to this new number anymore. (The original account will not be affected though.) Because they cannot cancel the submitted upgrade request on the new number (it doesn't work that way daw), I had to choose which number I want to keep-- If I choose to keep the old upgraded number, they will delete the duplicate account and I

GlobeAtHome no internet [fixed]

Globe at Home: "Connected without internet" ================ 11/4/2023 Saturday ================ 12 Noon: We lost our wifi today. After troubleshooting* a few times -- still no "internet" light on the modem; it is off while all other lights are green. *Power off modem for 30 seconds and wait for it to boot up. ~2:45pm: I called Globe's customer service 211 . It's free to call with a Globe #. Automated recording for broadband services - give your customer account # and wait for a human to answer. I didn't wait too long -- The rep told me that since there's no advisory for my area, to keep troubleshooting because they might be able to fix it on their end later today, but she still put me down for a tech "home visit" for tomorrow. I received my report reference # via text message too.  She said I will also give that ref # if I want to request for a "bill adjustment" later. Modem status 4pm: I logged into the modem, the da
