Isang Tanong

Monday, November 30th, 2009

I got to watch Isang Tanong just now, thanks to this YouTube channel, and ye gods, it did not help me make a decision at all as to who I’ll be voting for president. On second thought, no, it actually helped me. It made me realize that I don’t want any of those buggers ruling my country, and that I’ll just most likely end up scratching a long line on the ballot like I did last elections, assuming that the automated ballot counting won’t push through and we’re going with the usual ballot we’ve used for the past several decades.

BDO finds ways…to fail

Monday, November 16th, 2009

I logged into my online BDO account and received a notification informing me about an electronic banking survey and asking if I wanted to participate. I clicked “Yes,” and the next message that popped up said, “Thank you. Expect a call from us soon.” What part of “electronic banking survey” does BDO fail to grasp? It’s the same thing with their applications for online banking. Sure you can fill out the form online, but you still have to print it out and submit it to a BDO branch. BDO: We find ways to make the electronic not electronic at all. Or BDO: We find ways to make ourselves sound modern and high-tech when we’re actually just doing the same old thing.
