as of today, bayantel's connection is ok. its fast and not intermittent. i just hope it stays that way. and my cellphone's still not fixed. but even if thats the case, people still text me. i havent replied for weeks! and if i did reply, i use another person's number. my phone's more of a high tech pager or beeper. its got a lot more text and more functions but like a pager or beeper, i really cant use it to reply to the message. dont know when ill be able to have my phone fixed. im getting used to its broken state. maybe there will come a time when i dont feel like having a cellphone anymore. ok, not really. the only time i wont have my cellphone with me completely is when ive decided to become a hermit (which isnt very improbable)
