Bath Time for Matt and Sean

at around 9:00am, its bath time for Matt and Sean.. As it is scheduled, so it shall be. :)

Anyway, that is after breakfast and it has always been a routine. They will go the bathroom with their bath toys and play in a pale of water sometimes in a plastic drum, not the hard stainless steel drum you usually see in rural places where folks use to store water.

I wonder my brothers and I have the same bath routine..

Anyway, I am wondering how long will this routine be. I wonder in what age will Matt and Sean realize that they are all grown up and that they will have to take their own bath separately… The day will certainly come.

PLDT DSL Problem

I called up PLDT DSL hot line for support this morning. I used my cellphone to call up 02 8888171, since dialing up 171 on our landline doesnt’ work.

I told the customer service to have our phone check because the keypad apparently is not working. I hear dial tone but when pressing the keys, nothing happened.

They said that they will be opening a ticket and will send out a technician on site in a couple of days. Good thing I still have no work this month.

Suvivor Samoa

I just realized today that I haven’t really finished watching the 19th season of Survivor (Survivor Samoa). The show finished their 19th season last month, probably the third week of December.

So what I did was I downloaded the last 3 episodes and the Reunion episodes where the votes of the jury was counted.. and who’s the big $1,000,000 winner?! Ratalie!

There was also a preview of the 20th season of Survivor, named “Heroes vs. Villains”. It will start airing in Spring.. I thought to myself when is spring?! (Here, we only have 2 seasons, rainy and summer).. Good thing Jeff mentioned that it will be of February.. I will watch that season of survivor too!
