Last Feb 21, I posted my disappointment at a Smart Wireless Customer Service Rep, for her lack of enthusiasm and stupidity in her work. But even after that experience, I am still seriously considering making a switch to wi-fi connection, since I've just about had it with PLDTdsl's lousy service. So, last Saturday, I went to a Smart Wireless branch in another mall to make a similar inquiry regarding their wi-fi service. This time however, I was fortunate enough to talk to a better trained customer service rep, and was able to get some straight answers with regards to their services AND policy about having an existing dsl account with another provider. Much ado about nothing really, turns out that while they don't exactly encourage applicants with existing subscriptions (esp. with PLDTdsl) to pre-terminate their account, they don't discourage it either. Which is just about right, since that is OUR problem not theirs. "That customer service rep probably wasn't very familiar with our policy"she said.... Oh geez, ya think? Anyways, now I gotta find a way on how to weasel my way out of that stupid contract. I still have one more year to go.... With that taken care of, I proceeded to the Italian resto where I was to meet my best friend for lunch. No it's not Chef d'Angelo again, but it's another one of my favorite pasta place. This one's owned by an Italian guy and his Filipina wife, offering honest to goodness Italian dishes. Instead of my usual spaghetti al pesto and piadina (which btw, is also the name of the place), I opted to try their pizza. Authentic Italian pizza is radically different from the Americanized pizza that we're used to ( Yes, the ones that Pizza Hut and Shakey's serve are bastardized versions). The Margharetta (cheese pizza) that I ordered for example looked more like a flat pita bread topped with herbs and olive oil, larger, and as thin. Dang! We were so busy talking and eating that I forgot to take a shot of the pizza. Tsk, so I guess you'll have to settle with mine.....
