Sweet World of Joan

I just finished teaching about the basics of blogging and social networking to my students. I enjoy teaching about these topics because its one of the activities I love doing online and seeing how my students are interested and asking questions on blogging really make me happy.

Since Moving in our new home last month I am slowly filling up my bookshelves again, arranging the study room to accommodate my husband’s, my son’s and my needs. I would like to think of the room as a mini library, where my son and I study both our lessons( I teach and he is in kinder ) and my husband can continue his work away from the office.

I will blog the details soon, just let me catch up on whats happening online.

It's been a week since I moved to a new house and its also been that long since I have surfed thru my PLDT Dsl and I miss it already. I rely heavily to the internet, I have an online store, I get my information for work online and its part of our family's everyday life. I am already frustrated, disspointed and angry. My PLDT phone and DSL was supposed to be connected DAYS AGO. I got a call last monday Aug 18, on my mobile from PLDT asking if my phone was already installed and I said not yet, but can they please install it that day if they can. The caller said they can't do it that day for its already 4 in the afternoon and I should just wait for it in the next few days. So I waited. And waited.. And still waited even when my husband is already threatening on not going home because there is still no INTERNET! (My husband you see is an online gaming addict and must maintain or move up his levels or whatever) So by friday I called PLDT to follow up, to my surprise my records ...
