MAD @ i.ph

March 24, 2007

I was going to update my blog last Wednesday. I've written a long entry about three of the places we've been to around 2 years ago namely Nasugbu, Tagaytay and La Luz in San Juan, Batangas (the very first time we went there). I've placed tons of pictures (as usual) and I've really racked my brain for all the stocked info I have regarding those places. I drafted the entire entry just to be sure I saved it. Then when I was about to publish it, for some reason, it came out as "null".

It disappeared! I hit the refresh button a couple of times… nothing! I called Peter. But he was already on the way to the car… My whole world crumbled just then! I was doing it for 3 1/2 hours only for nothing! Thanks i.Ph! This is really GRRRREAT! I was blogging while waiting for Peter to come home just so I'd get distracted from feeling abandoned and mad (he had a meeting that lasted very long and got home around 11 pm or so). You see, I'm the type who's not very good at times in handling his late nights. Thanks to the internet it has helped me a lot in keeping me from getting mad at Peter whenever he's keeping late hours at work most of the time.It's really is an awesome distraction especially when I'm being hormonal about it.

Anyway, to make this long story short, I got VERY mad at i.ph (meaning I was mad at Peter) and in turn Peter got mad at the concerened department in i.ph (buti nga!). I swore I'd never blog on i.ph again! I'll delete my blog and I'll let the whole world know how stupid i.ph blog is! I mean, what kind of a system do you have if you can't even make sure that the users's posts/entries are secured from disappearing from the face of the planet? Blogging in i.ph hasn't been very easy for me. It took Peter a long time before he was able to convince me to use i.ph instead of friendster. When my friendster account got "full" and was no longer accepting my pictures unless I pay them for more internet space, that's when I started using i.ph. Of course it wasn't easy at first. Peter had to teach me about all the difficult and unfriendly little buttons I'd have to click just so I get to have my pics and entries up. Until eventually, it got easier. They made it easier in the long run by taking away those complicated html stuff and buttons. They made it as easy as point-and-click and drag-and-drop and voila the pics are all on the page! Yes, I learned to love it eventually…until THIS happened.

Peter told me not to quit, coz if I do, it's like I'm quitting on him (ang drama!). He promised that it will be better. The blogging experience in i.ph will be better. I hope so. Or else, gegerahin ko na talaga sila. Nanggigigil pa rin ako and I can't help it! Guys, you better make this work…all you tech people in i.ph, don't just do your job. Do it well! We're not blogging just for the heck of it! We're sharing pieces of our lives here no matter how shallow and babaw and boring sometimes. We are sharing pieces of us. And by doing so, we make our world stop for a few hours just so we can "share". (oo, hindi ganun kadali mag-blog ha.) We face our pcs instead of doing other worhtwhile things. And then mawawala lang yung pinaghirapan namin? Think about it.

Peter told me not to quit. So here's my "not quitting". Isn't blogging about sharing yourself? Well, here's what I have to share right now. At least hindi ako plastic. What you read in my blog is really what you get.

Hi Sarah! Hi Liz! I still feel bad about it… nakakatamad na tuloy mag-blog. I just hope they do something about it. I heard word press is a better option. So is multiply especially for me na mahilig sa pictures. But I’ll give them this one chance to make up. For Peter’s sake.
