Slow internet connection

I haven't written something for a while. Not for lack of interest, mind you. It's just frustrating because our internet connection is sooo slow. Well, what can I expect from a GPRS? Two weeks ago we bought a new laptop, one for me and one for hubby dearest. We were so excited to play and tinker with our new toys. Unfortunately we forgot one very important thing. We forgot to check if our laptops have a PCMCIA reader. But apparently new laptops now don't have one. Patay! That's where we insert the gadget for our wifi connection. So off we went to our internet provider (Izzi) to have it exchanged for a USB. We were told to wait for 3 days. Well fine. I could wait. The problem is it's been 8 days now and they haven't called us yet. All these time I have been using a GPRS from my phone. And it's torture. It is slow that sometimes I get to finish a spider solitaire before a window opens. Funny right?

Anyway we went to Izzi again this afternoon determined to return the gadget so we can apply at another company. But they told us they'd fix the problem and give us an extension on the term. I was hesitant but I said ok. This evening somebody from the company called and said they're coming tomorrow! Wow! Even on a holiday! I am impressed.

So hopefully I will have a better and faster internet connection tomorrow. Yey!

Thank goodness EJ's taking a bath again with no fuss. I don't know what happened then. My brother suggested maybe EJ has accidentally swallowed some water in the pool or in the tub making him scared for a while. I don't know about that but I am just so glad and relieved he's having fun taking a bath and brushing his teeth again (yes, he also didn't want to brush his teeth then).

EJ's vocabulary is growing by the minute. Though the last syllable of the words are usually missing. Everyday is an interesting day. New words, new discoveries. He's quite a big boy now.
