Stupid PLDT...

There is nothing quite so frustrating as having no internet for over a week through no fault of your own. PLDT (the monolithic telephone service provider here in the Philippines) has so conveniently continued to ignore the fact that my home's phone line has been cut by the recent storms around these parts. Thus, I have been cut off from my dial-up internet connection. Stupid company. This is a temporary arrangement - a placeholder, if you will. I'll get the next gripe (on the shrinking Japanese animation industry) soon.
