2023-05-25T1237H UTC+8: Smart Wireless Internet Running

Managed to setup the Smartbro wirless Internet together with registering the sim card as mandated by the national law.

2023-05-24T2009H UTC+8: Smart Wireless Internet

I was able to get a wireless Internet from Smart. I initially went to visit Globe but they not selling any wireless option at the moment so I visited PLDT main office but they don't have any stocks so they referred me to Smart office. The Smart office don't have any stocks of the pocket wifi nor the wireless modem so they referred me to a different store and there it was, pocket wifi and the wireless modem.

I went with the wireless modem. It's a prepaid Internet similar to my niece's wireless Internet and will use this wireless Internet modem on my cottage house that is being constructed.

2023-05-23T2250H UTC+8: Job Hunting & The Problem of Internet

Current problem at the moment when it comes to job hunting is the accessibility to Internet since I am just using my phone data and the PLDT wireless internet which is at 100Mbps from my niece. Both these options are problematic due to Intermittent loss of Internet and sometimes it was whole day that the Internet was not available.

My worst case situation would be to visit the Internet cafes near the state universities and colleges either with my laptop or just using their desktop at the cafes.

Best case at the moment is to buy the prepaid wireless Internet from PLDT or globe and average case would be switching from phone data to wireless Internet from time to time.

2023-05-17T2100H UTC+8: The Toxic Corporate Environment

This morning a recruiter agent contacted me for one of the software engineering positions I have applied to. The client is located on the financial business district in Manila. The ad for the position states work from home but is actually a temporary one and is on hybrid setup and the client is actually looking forward to a 100% onsite work.

I just wonder what does the corporate world is thinking considering that we are in a new era already where the viruses in the likes of SARS-CoV-2 has imposed an irreversible change to the society. I mean can they guarantee safety from SARS-CoV-2 infection?

Won't be going back to the toxic world of working onsite 100%. It has been proven that productivity does exist in permanent work from home setup.

2023-05-16T2308H UTC+8: Submitted Job Applications Locally and Abroad

Hoping I get a new software engineer job the soonest cause my savings are dwindling fast due to construction of my cottage house.
