ATTENTION: Miii.net Possible Downtime

attention-miiinet-possible-downtime

Because of a sudden upsurge of bandwidth usage from a forum that I have hosted here that no one really uses, I’m panicking right now. I’m getting a message that I’m nearing my bandwidth limit.

I only have an allotted 10Gb of bandwidth every month and for the past months ever since I started the pinay scandal post, I’ve always been able to manage.

But recently, I reviewed my bandwidth trends and saw that I had a spike with my Crystal Skies forum (that no one uses, as I’ve mentioned at the start). It was constantly using below 200Mb for the past months, and for this month, it had a whopping 1.3 Gb. I’m guessing this is because of all the spam in it. But nonetheless, I only have about 800Mb of bandwidth left for this site.

So… I’m putting down most of the images files for now, my beloved banners and avatars. These are part of my blog, of my site. You can probably compare them to light fixtures in houses, wherein some of them don’t really serve any real purpose aside from being a decoration. These are kind of my signature images on the site. I’m also going to put the the Pinay Scandal post in Private for now and hope that in doing so, it will also minimize the traffic.

I don’t want to put them down, but I don’t want miii.net to go down either. So… just as a final effort with the hopes of saving my site for at least 4 more days, I’m putting these images down, moved the forum and so on. Hopefully, this will slow down the traffic upsurge.

I’m glad my post is in the first page/result of google search when they search for Filipino porn. I mean, the traffic really helps boost my site (except in Google Page Rank), and this will help soon when I consider monetizing my website again with adlinks aside from the one I’m doing now. But right now, I just want to save my site.

So… I hope in bringing down my main images and my most popular post, it will help my site stay alive until the end of the month.

Exercise Machines

I was going home one day and while stuck in traffic, I looked up at a building and I saw some people exercising. I looked up some more and saw that it was a hotel. And I thought that it would be nice to have your own gym or workout place right in your own home or even in your own room.

I wonder how much those goes-under-the-bed things cost… I remember seeing a workout bench and it cost like 3 or 4 K… I need to diet !!!!

anyone have any ideas about trampolines? how about a mini trampoline? I saw this site selling mini trampolines and it looked relatively cheap. I thought it would be much more expensive. They even have trampolines with a net around it, but those are expensive.

*sigh*

Graduation March is just looming around the corner and I still don’t have clothes, and I feel like I’m continuously bloating up.

Uguuuuu…

Sleepless Days

sleepless-days

I can’t sleep! It’s really so hard to sleep during the day when you know the sun is up.

I made a deal with my parents a couple of days ago. I’ll clean up my room and allow them to move stuff around so that I could use the air conditioner. Because it’s so freakin’ hot and muggy during the day that I couldn’t sleep at all.

And I thought that would make a difference. My mother was even thoughtful enough to put curtains in my room so that it’s a little dark even during the day. But no. It’s still so hard to sleep.

The air conditioner is old and wasn’t in operation for about 2 or 3 years. It’s a wonder it’s still working right now. However, it’s not really that cold. Sure, it’s not muggy. It’s a lot better than not having it at all. But it just doesn’t cool down the whole room like how I want it to be. I think the styrofoam on the ceiling needs to be replaced. Maybe I need carpeting! I’d like to have something like home theater carpet so that it feels like I’m in a real cinema while I’m watching my J-Drama, but I don’t really think that’s necessary.

So… I’m with an air conditioner, but my fan is still on too. But I have it oscillating so it’s all good.

I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep.

Addicted to J-Drama

These past few days, I haven’t really bothered to go on IRC. One reason is I can’t really be bothered. I don’t have enough time. But lately, I manage to go home early and actually, I do have time now if I wanted. However, lately, I’ve been watching J-Drama again. I’ve been using up my AznV.TV credits. Considering I’ve almost had the account for 2 years now since KALIF gave me a premium one pre-loaded with 30 hours I think. And then I asked for more hours. And until now, I still haven’t used them up. And now that I’ve unplugged my cousins from the router, I can actually watch on AznV.TV now without a lot of problems. Because before, when they were connected, it was impossible to watch there… so now …

Well, now, I’m thinking of topping up this time using my own money, instead of freeloading.

Has anyone been in need of therapy for anime/drama/movie/music addiction? I wonder if there are drug treatment centers for these kinds of addictions. I call myself a music addict or a music whore, depending on the situation. I mean, there ARE some people who declare themselves addicted to this or addicted to that, simple things, not necessarily drugs, but has anyone really been diagnosed as addicted to [insert something here that isn’t drugs internet or games]. I remember when I doing a paper on Internet Addiction there was a Chinese therapist for internet and gaming addiction. It was really cool and pitiful at the same time. And this was around 2002. What about now? There are more games and more things you can possibly do online these days.

Well, for now, let me be addicted to J-Drama and watch what I’ve missed out for the past years. Those J-Dramas that I’ve always wanted to watch.

~Currently watching Orange Days~
~Just finished Motokare and Oishii Propose~

BTW, AznV.TV is an asian media streaming site. It has premium accounts wherein you could watch almost anything, and free limited accounts which also has lower quality streams.

Papaya Soap for Sale. … j/k

Ever tried directbuying? Directbuying is when you buy directly from a manufacturer or something. This would save you up to 50% or even more. For example, there’s this person Mama buys papaya soap from, and some other resellers just shape them and brand them. And they sell it twice or even thrice more. And there are people who actually buy these branded ones.

Or like how Ben Chan does it. He buys shirts from China or something, prints Bench designs on them, and sell them for more than 300% the price he originally bought the shirts. I guess it’s all about branding–you pay for the brand. So it would be best to buy stuff where these branded stuff buy them :D

Raw Products! Down with consumerism! Buy direct!

Who wants to buy Papaya soap? It really works too. I’ll sell for P60, negotiable.

… Ever wonder why people bother to put “Negotiable” in their wares? I mean, if you’re going to sell it at a price, why bother raising the price and then saying it’s negotiable? Pretty stupid. Anyway.

Papaya soap for sale.

Food Trip and an Empty Wallet

The past few weeks, me and my friend from work have been food tripping. We eat in some places and try out different food just for fun. It’s not much of a weight on my pocket since we only do this about once a week. My biggest problem is my weight. T_T I feel it steadily increasing. Maybe I should bring out the weighing scale again.

It’d be so nice to have home gym equipment, especially now that Iks and Eelai have moved out, there would be space for workout machines and other stuff. But I’m so broke now.

I just got my fridge. I gave mama a lot of money for being bitten by BokBok so she could get her shots, which she skipped anyway =_=, and just yesterday, I bought Taba his anti-flea spray thing because he was heavily infested by these creatures again. I almost cried while giving him a bath because the tips of his ears were already black with all the creatures clinging on him T_T. So I went and bought him the spray I bought last time which was really not cheap at all. So now, I’m broke. Good thing Mama and Papa asked me to load their phone, and they paid me, so now I still have some money again.

It was really a good idea to load P1000 to my phone. Since Mama and Papa just have their phones loaded through AutoLoad, I thought that it’s better if I did that myself. I get 250 free text to last me two months or more, and they pay me instead of some other person. since 250 free text is really enough for me. The catch is, I don’t see any place where P1000 card is being sold, so I load it through ATM or online banking. No discount, but at least I’ve got a lot of free text which is all I need anyways.

*sigh*

Nonetheless. I’m broke.

I wonder if there’s MRT again tonight T_T stupid holidays.

HolyDayOff

Thursdays and Fridays are my restdays this month and next month. This Thursday (Today) and Friday are Holidays, Holy days. I spent more than an hour on the road just because of heavy traffic caused by people going home to their provinces.

Holy week is probably the time when most hypocrites come out and pretend to be holy.

I got stuck in Cubao coming home today for about an hour… just in Cubao. And the air-conditioned bus I rode wasn’t exactly cold. I was perspiring. I’m never going to ride that busline again.

*sigh* So… after work today, we had the usual after shift coaching, and asked Mau if she wanted to eat somewhere afterwards. I wanted to eat at Tempura… And… the nice food places were all closed. =_=”;; sad. TL came with us too. We ended up eating at Jollibee, which wasn’t really bad. But still…

Day off, and malls are closed. I wanted to buy a new headset because mine is broken. I don’t have the motivation to sing. =/

I’m really tired, and last week was somewhat busy. I could hardly sleep in the day. So now, I just caught up with my Google Reader and it seems like I didn’t really miss a lot, aside from Anime.

I haven’t been downloading anime =/ I’m so behind on the series I’m following. But my new system in requesting music links to be updated is so much better than just having people request for it to be updated or just updating everything when no one will really bother to download. Update-On-Demand is what I call it. This really ARE better when you’ve got a system.

*yawwwwn*

Well… Updates on my life? Nothing much really. Just working. Barely online. Hardly on IRC. And having some private family problems. Yesterday I went to school to get the Centennial Planners from UP that Sarah and I ordered, but unfortunately, I didn’t know that it was half-day =_= so … blehhh… gonna have to wait next week. again. And I’m still not done with my clearance. That’s about it, I guess?

Oh wait. I’m now an aunt. Orc’s girl just gave birth to a not-so-healthy baby boy named Jared. Last time I heard, I know Orc’s girl didn’t want the name Jared because she said in Tagalog it was Herodes. Bleh. Of course Orc probably insisted on it.

Anyway.

laterz.

Mac ‘n Memory

Does anyone know if you need to buy from mac itself to upgrade the memory of the macbook? or any laptop memory would do? I feel like my macbook’s so slowwwww. Maybe I just need to reformat it or something. I want Mac OS X 5 (Leopard)

I never really understood how to update Mac OS’s. Is it like windows wherein you have to do a complete reformat of target drive or the drive where you’re going to install it.

Maybe I should windows there instead… the left click would be a problem though. *sigh*

Bleh.

All I’m thinking of now is to spend =/

Running Around my Alma Mater

Yesterday, I went to SSS to apply for an ID because I really needed another valid ID. But after waiting on the line for almost an hour just to get the form, when I went to the line for filing, I asked the person who was giving me a number if I could apply in the first place, and I gave her what I know–that when I checked online, it says ZERO but I know my company has deducted from me already for three months. Then she took my number and said that even if the company has deducted me, but if they haven’t remitted anything, then I’m not qualified to file for an ID.

So… Blah. Annoying. What a waste of time.

I went to school afterwards and waited for this teacher so I could have her sign my clearance papers. And after waiting for her for almost 45 minutes, she asked me to have another person sign first because she wouldn’t know if I borrowed anything from the office since she only took over a year ago or so, so I ran downstairs because it was 11:45 already, and lunch was at 12. I had the said person sign, and ran back up to get that teacher to sign, and then she said that since I already got that person to sign, then she won’t need to sign anymore.

I was like… What the heck. I wasted my time on that teacher. *Angry >_<*

I needed two more signatures. So I asked around where I can find the division chairman. They told me where and his door was locked, so I stayed on the desk in front of his door for about 45 minutes again, and put up my portable electric fan (which was pretty awesome). Until this secretary person maybe came and was staring at me for sitting on her desk. I stated the purpose of my presence while packing up my stuff. She said that that teacher I was waiting for came at unpredictable times and that it would be better if I just leave the papers with her and come back for it at another time.

So..... I left the papers with her and thought about what to do next. It was already lunch time for most offices, and I'd need to go to the university registrar to file for the university clearance. Then I remembered that I needed to go to the bank to pay for our Sablay--probably the equivalent of most universities and schools' Toga. It's kind of like a sash with the colors of the university with writings on it. I'll put up my pic later when I go back to my desktop.

So I went to the bank because they don't really have a lunch break. Waited for about an hour. Went to the Alumni Association office thingie and gave the bank receipt and got my Sablays (I got one for Sarah too).

It was way past lunch break already so I went to the University Registrar to file for my university clearance and to get my transcript as well. It wasn't a very long process there, but getting the stuff I filed for takes about a month or so. The clearance I can follow-up next week (That doesn’t mean I can get it already if I follow up) and the transcript, good thing they have an option to have it mailed through a carrier (an extra fee, but at least I won’t have to go back and pick it up just to find out that it’s not ready yet).

And finally, I go back to the Division Chair’s office to check if the person has come by and signed my clearance papers. And no, he hasn’t. After doing other stuff for almost 4 hours, he hasn’t come by.

I went to another office to get the Centennial Planners I ordered last January and it says on the door that the planners can only be claimed Wednesdays and Saturdays from 1pm to 4pm.

Broke and tired after paying for the Sablay and clearances, and trying to accomplish everything, I just took a jeep with the intention of going home. Part two follows.

I think I need to get some life insurance quotes just in case I get a heart attack from this country’s public institution systems. lol. I’ll get sick from running around accomplishing nothing.

Dogbites and Refrigerators.

I found this cute case for my macbook just in case I want to take it out. It’s a Zero Halliburton Degerati 5″ and it’s $445. Way out of my range. Probably not available in the country either. Ughh…

Just going to spend that money for Mama’s medicine. Mama got bitten by BokBok last night, trying to protect my precious Taba. She got 5 bites. Backside, Stomach, Left Leg, Side, and Arm. Her arm was the worse, the flesh got almost ripped off. BokBok didn’t want to let go and he was trying to mangle mama’s arm… =/ This was because she was saving Taba. Papa said later on that mama should’ve just let BokBok mangle Taba. T___T

Mama’s hospitalization was covered by her two health insurances from my brother and father, but I’m really not sure if my health insurance card could cover hers as well. I’ll need to check with the HR of my company.

Papa said we could still buy our fridge since the rest of mama’s expensive medicine doesn’t need to be all in one go, so we’re going to get the fridge tonight so we could have it by tomorrow or Sunday. At least mama could have cold water all the time as well.

I’m feeling dehydrated as well. I’m used to having easy access to water all the time, and with the current setup I don’t have cold water in my room, I don’t bother drinking at all. And sometimes, the water in the fridge outside isn’t really cold, so I don’t bother drinking either. I like my water cold. :<

*Sigh* Tonight, we’re also going to buy a muzzle for BokBok. Right now he’s tied up. And he’s been crying the whole night. Poor dog.
