Moving to DITO is a wise decision

In November 2024, we have decided not to continue subscribing to the fiber-optic Wi-Fi services of 2 different providers; DataConnect (then DCTech) and PLDT. The reason was that fiber-optic Internet is rife with financial corruption: charging excessively while their services have substandard quality. Since then, we fully returned to 4G/Long-Term Evolution as our primary method of connecting worldwide. I bought a 4G-based DITO prepaid Wi-Fi device via Shopee. That unit costs ₱980, so I reserved ₱1,000 to pay for the unit. I chose the DITO Wi-Fi device because the DITO mobile network is mostly free space, which means swifter downloads. On my mobile phone, DITO's download speed is up to 50 Mbps when conducted outdoors. Another reason for choosing DITO as the Wi-Fi choice is to decongest GLOBE and PLDT; given that GLOBE and PLDT are overcrowded, of course, the stress relief of their networks is overdue. GLOBE and PLDT remain notorious for their unstable Internet. Wherever you see a DI...

At age 39, such an early death would be a bit suspicious in a developed country. With the addition of "no signs of foul play," you can guess the best what really happened to Jae-rim. As Jae-rim was a famous per...

Loneliness is the future I can most readily consider

Your environment ultimately decides your future Having no concrete dreams, especially since March 2020, compounded with having no friends since that date, I am a loner. Since I have no job and there is no hope of ever finding one, my safest conclusion is that I would grow old a hikikomori and complete my life poor. As I live in a poor locality and there is no possibility of moving to a more progressive one, the easiest future I can imagine is to look degraded in the eyes of others. It's OK when I also appear degraded in your views. I'm aware of it, but I can do nothing about it. Thanks to the Wuhan virus scandal, I took the chance to achieve a degree of genuine sense of choice in March 2020. College education is useless to the 21st-century workforce, whose requirements demand lessons from the street rather than from the classroom. How I act and behave since my ascent to practical reality (March 2020) is the result of a failed education system that has no lessons about how to...
