One of the best part of the event was also meeting new friends! I never expected that I will be meeting this people who I just know through their blogs...but during the event, I actually had the chance to even talk to them...except for one though. I never expected that Coy will be at the event and I actually didn't see him...too bad because I am an avid fan of his videos. He is one of the reason why I vlog.

Halalan 2010 / Election 2010 in Dumaguete

Today, I have finally voted and was happy to shade the green side of my ballot. However, I was totally dismayed of some things that I saw. Here are the things that I noticed during the Election 2010 / Halalan 2010 in Dumaguete:

• The Poll watchers are bias and are catering insertions.
• The Poll watchers are letting other people sign some paper outside the precinct area and saw some money distribution... This was so alarming where vote buying was publicly tolerated.
• There were no extra Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) machines in the area.
• The place was conducive for the PCOS machine since the area was so hot and will easilt destroy the machine.
• There was one person who ran for counselor in Bacong who was roaming around the area...and he was not there to vote. I wonder why this guy was there!? I totally know this guy's name.
• The flow was slow because some people are taking more than an hour just to finish shading their ballots.
• There were sudden black outs! What will happen to these machines!?
• I saw some ballots that were not accepted by the PCOS machine and they are quite a few of them. So, how can this be RIGHT TO VOTE where in fact their ballots were not accepted and these machines are not 100 percent accurate!?

I don't know if these things for Election 2010 in Dumaguete are for the better or for the worse; however, may God enlighten everyone and will lead us to the greener side of life.

I don't know, but there is something at the back of my soul that this Halalan 2010 is going to be the most malicious and the dirtiest election ever! For now, I have no choice but to wait and see who will win on this Election 2010.

My Concern about Globelines

Few weeks ago, I have decided to get my Globe Wimax connection (See previous entry: Im getting Globe Wimax Connection). Currently, my siblings and I am currently enjoying the fast connection we are getting, but it took me 2 weeks to just to get my connection. I was somehow disappointed with the scenario I went through just to get this Globe Wimax Connection.

Here is what happened:

(Day 1) I went to Globelines, SM City Cebu branch and filled up a form to get a Globe Wimax and payed Php 500.00 for the installation of the said connection. The lady told me that there will be an IT Technician that will visit my place on the day or the day after...so I waited. However, the IT Technician came on the 3rd day...I didn't mind.

(Day 3) The Technician came! GREAT! I got so excited that finally Ill be getting my connection...but was surprised on what I saw. They presented a different device. Its an 'I can't explain object' that is attached into your laptop. So it was a LAN connection, which is not what I was expecting to get because Globe Wimax should wireless. I was expecting that they will present a router or something. The technician told me that the 'I can't explain object' was their Globe Wimax and the wireless connection is a different product.

(Day 4) I went back to Globelines to confirm and specifically asked what I was asking. That was the time I found out that they have a third party IT Technical Team or something like that so there might have been a miscommunication between both parties. After everything was specified, the customer service assured me 3 waiting days to get my connection...so I waited...again.

However, after 5 days, no IT whatsoever came! I got frustrated and contacted a friend from Globelines Manila, Mr. Jeffrey Ochoa Tarayao and asked for help.

(Day 10) Someone called (Finally!) Mr. Patrick Gloria, I think he's one of the head superior in Cebu and Bacolod, and told me that they will be fixing this query. I told him every detail and my frustration about the scenario I went through...and he humbly apologized and did everything he can to help me.

It took another 3 days...

(Day 13) Finally, an IT Tehnician came with the router and wallah...Hello Globe WImax Connection!

Insight:
I would like to say thank you to those people I have mentioned and helped me out. However, I can't help to feel dismay that I got my connection because I have a backup inside Globelines. What if I don't? How long should have I waited?

Suggestion:
Please communicate with your IT guys and clearly give them the products that Globelines in Cebu are offering. Communication is very essential in a business. In addition, do take care of your customers. They are everything you got. If you promise a day, then walk your talk!
