There is some trouble lately on the internet connection, for some reason "Smart communications" lately pulled out its unlimited prepaid internet connection and replaced it with a much less disappointing 800 MB per day offer called "SurfMax" . Not a very good news for me given that I use torrents for downloading of some stuff I need , in particular PC games. Frankly I'm having a hard time finishing those downloads because of it.
In
other news related to my work …
For
now things are going smoothly and in fact, I had just finish all the necessary
working papers needed. I am now just literary waiting for my time to be called
up and wait for the dispatch orders coming from my company. However despite
being ready there is one part of my working papers that is somewhat
questionable, Specifically my Schengen visa (European Visa) - from what I
recall its was supposedly to be expired this September and I had to renew this
visa. I'm not entirely sure that my next ship still requires a Schengen visa
but what I can say is that my U.S. Visa is still active and that my Schengen is
expired, Maybe I have to go back to my company and verify about what will they
have to do with my Schengen visa.
As
for my equipment , I had just finished customizing all my stuff and all it
needs to do is pack it up on my 2nd luggage. I had finished sewing my reserve
coveralls and putting extra pockets on its shoulder , aside from adding a
zipper function. On my water canteen , I had added a company patch to it so it
won't look too much like a military water canteen and look more like a civilian
type
Another
thing about my equipment lately is that I kept inspecting it every now and then
to keep insects away (specifically ants) from building a hive inside my
luggage. It's annoying for me that animals and insects have an automatic
behavior that makes them go to my luggage, and the bad part is that they always
destroy something on my luggage. Last year it was my sisters dogs that keep
chewing on my electric cords and other parts of my luggage , and the year
before my cats were sleeping and leaving their fur behind. For this year its these ants that got
inside my luggage and nearly chewed off (or drilled holes) on my "ateneo" collectible jacket. I
got rid of the jacket and washed it but it looks like that these ants are not
only after that but are even planning on building a hive inside the bag.

On
my electronics equipment lately I had made a discovery about a certain android
operating system emulator for windows. If I recall correct the website is
called www.bluestacks.com , and can be
downloaded on the internet. I haven't fully tested it out yet but it shows
promise in playing all the android apps that can only be played on the cell
phone and tablet. For now the thing it can do is back up my contact list on my phone and do basic google related apps,
Another thing that I noticed on this program is that requires an Wi-Fi or
internet access to be played, without it basically it can't do anything else.
