Activating Smart sim roaming from outside the Philippines

Posted by sheilamarie | Labels:

I was very sad when I realized that I wasn't able to activate my sim smart roaming before we flew from Philippines (travelling with 2 kids plus countless baggages, meh!). I've had this prepaid sim for more than 2 years already, used both in Pinas and outside before. I immediately logged in smart web page to activate the roaming feature from there, but the phone still had no signal.

I tried to search the net about it and read people's post saying that it was impossible to do it from outside the country, that it has to be activated before leaving the country. So I called smart money hotline and asked them if anything could be done about this. I was told that there was a chance that it could be activated if I called the smart prepaid hotline (+632-888-1111 I think).

So anyways, I spoke with an agent there, and was asked the give the numbers at the back of my sim card. She then told me that I had already activated it (through the website) and that the only thing left to do is to search for the network manually. She gave me instructions on how to do it and tadaaaaa.... signal finally appeared :D I hope this helps, as I know I am not alone with this problem.

Man jumps to death from our building

Posted by sheilamarie | Labels:

I heard this loud noise from outside and stood up from the computer desk, but didn't see any accident on the road from where i was standing, so i immediately sat down and thought it was just a trailer truck that made the noise.

Soon after, i heard loud voices from outside so i went out to investigate. Saw so many people running outside and shouting, waving their hands in the air in despair. So i stood there just watching beside my neighbors when all of a sudden we saw security guards running towards our flat shouting about some man. So we immediately run inside and locked our doors!

Went out again and talked with some other people and was told that a lady was stabbed and that they caught the man out in the back. So i run to the other side of the house and saw people on top of a fence, looking down on something. Someone turned their torch on and i saw the body of a man inside one flat garden.

So people are still outside till now talking and pointing at the body. The police have already bern called to the scene.

I was told that this man stabbed a lady who was staying upstairs and that they got inside the elevator. She was able to push for the grpund floor where she collapsed and the man went back upstairs to hide. I guess he jumped in desperation after they cornered him.

So scary, and hubby slept through the whole thing!

Teka, i just checked and the body is still there in the garden. I hope they remove it soon.

Pix along Naija road - part 3

Posted by sheilamarie | Labels:








The harmattan has been terrible these past few days. Everything around me is covered in dust (the inside of my nose too). If you look outside the parking lot, the roofs of the car have fine dust on top of all of them. Dust dust dust everywhere! You can't see clearly 10meters in front of you as in everything is hazy.

--------

Terrible traffic this afternoon. Everyday is bad, but fridays are the worst :( took almost an hour to get back from school, and this trip normally takes about 15minutes at most in the mornings.

---------

I don't understand what the Admiralty plaza toll gate is for. It's not as if you have other wide roads to use as an option if you do not want to pay the toll fee. The road you will be forced to use is just 2 lanes, which is very bad, have numerous potholes, and always congested.

They should try to fix the other roads 1st before asking people to pay the toll. We need a lunar roving vehicle here in Nigeria as the roads are filled with craters similar to the moon's.

Area boy Fabio causes mayhem in Family day

Posted by sheilamarie | Labels:

After more than 7 months, hubby-ed decided to bring us to Ikeja to attend the family day for the month of Feb2012.

Everything went fine, we had a great time catching up with old acquaintances and friends. Pinoy food was flowing (as long as you had money hehe) and alcohol was too haha.

So kids were running around the place, playing fighting laughing and shouting (made me remember why I seldom bring the 2 boys hehe). And an hour before we left, I saw a commotion at the back of the place where the kids were playing. I saw one kuya trying to hit someone else and he was being held back by some of the pinoys. It seems that his grandson was hit by the Nigerian security guard for breaking some sticks at the back. In the end, we learned that it was out very own Fabio who broke the stick by repeatedly hitting it on the ground. And the guard used the stick to hit the other boy. He may or may have done something to anger the secu, but it wasn't an excuse to hit the boy.

But anyways, lesson learned. Either watch the area boy or leave them at home. Prob just not attend anymore for another 6 months.

La Trobada Resto- Tagaytay city

Posted by sheilamarie | Labels:







There's this restaurant here in Tagaytay that we try to visit when we can. It's called La Trobada, and it's one of those little jewel of a place hidden around in Tagaytay area.

The Paella is what we always order here as it's so delish, and of course, the signature dish of the city which is Bulalo (can you imagine not having hot steaming bulalo when it's so cold? haha).

This place is worth visiting... for the good food, nice atmosphere, and especially if you want a place that is not so crowded like the more well known restaurants are in Tagaytay.
