That one time I was on TV


Back in the 90s and early 2000s, student quiz shows on TV were a thing, the most famous ones being Battle of the Brains and The Digital LG Quiz. For some reason our school never gunned for these two shows. Instead, we joined a lesser known quiz show called TechnoWars. I love watching quiz shows and I have never heard of this one.

The quest for reliable internet in the time of COVID-19

It's as though Globe and Smart conspired to make my life miserable.

Memos from my employer have indicated that I might have to work at home for the foreseeable future, possibly until remainder of the year. With this expectation set, I knew I have to get my own wifi at home. Before pandemic happened, I was mostly reliant on office wifi for my internet connection. For the first few weeks in quarantine, I used my phone’s data connection, which is costly. A single Zoom meeting can use up my entire data allocation.
