Discovery Channel - Lost Tapes: SKINWALKER

Late last night, husband and I watched Discovery Channel’s Lost Tapes. This is a guy’s (sorry forgot his name..) video of their ranch and was suppose to be a video for her girlfriend. The guy is asked by his father to accompany him to the hills. They keep some of their newborn lamb, sheep or goat up the hills to keep it safe from wolf attacks. But the newborn weren’t safe from harm.

Last night’s video file was about a creature called “Skinwalker”. It is a human that could transform into different animal it desires. Most of the time, it commonly transforms into a werewolf.

I thought only the Philippines have such creatures or beasts that can transform or shift shape into any animal they desire. Here in the Philippines, we have these creatures or “aswang” that could transform into any animal they want. A big pig, big black dog and can even mimic voices of people close to us, like family relatives. Victims of “aswangs” are everybody especially pregnant women.

The video file is creepy! First, aboard their truck on their way to the hills to visit the goats and sheeps they keep there, the father and son passed by an old lady and she was kinda growling. It can be ignored maybe she just doesn’t want to be looked at. Then when they were up the hill, and has surprisingly seen that the newborn goat is missing, they saw the old lady again, wires of the cage have been opened, there were paw prints that turned into human foot print with long nails that marked the soil, then they suddenly heard the voice of her mom calling them! They thought she was calling through the radio, but when they ran to the truck and checked, the damn radio is off! Then they heard a growl and the cry of a baby goat or baby sheep. It is starting to get dark as they try to analyze what could possibly happened. They got worried about his mom and they drove back to their house. While driving, they saw the old lady slowly crossing the road, but since they were shocked, they accidentally bumped the walking image. They immediately got off the truck and saw no one but the missing goat and a thick furry blanket…

Share-A-Load, Nakaw-A-Load

Uhm… been busy for quite some time.. but anyway, here’s something for you to take note of…

My elder sister texted me last week and asked me to call Globe’s Customer Service for her Globe Handy Phone’s lost prepaid load. She never reloaded her prepaid account for quite awhile due to frequent sudden loss of her prepaid credits. Even I experience the same loss and sometime never reload my account due to such case. So, I did call Globe’s CS thru my Globelines phone, gave my sister’s number and informed them of the loss prepaid credits, then I was informed  that they will be calling my sister within 24 hours. The following day, my sister texted me that nobody called her.. 

There are times that when you use their services (Globe, Smart or Sun), some information texts are not sent nor received, some times delay due to air traffic and some times it’s real-time sending. You buy load credits but you don’t get an information message but you have the credits on your account. On some cases, the load credit seller didn’t receive information message that they loaded an account but the customer received the credits bought. I have forgotten to inform my sister of a common scam. It’s the unknown Share-A-Load service. Means, you weren’t aware that you shared a load to someone. It’s an illegal sharing of your prepaid credits to someone you don’t know, without you knowing it, without your permission. Other people have experienced this sudden loss; he/she just loss more than a hundred pesos and had known it upon receiving a text info that he/she had just shared a load to someone unfamiliar. The fact that he/she really did not shared someone his/her prepaid credits because no one even asked him/her for it. Well, this maybe another case of Nakaw-A-Load. Such common cases of loss prepaid credits, you seldom use your prepaid credits saving them for important/emergency calls or messages but little do we know the more we want to save on our prepaid credits, the more it is loss or STOLEN. 

Telecom companies complain about their profit loss and that they have to imply their projected income/profit margin. But subscribers can see how luxurious their establishments are! How much loss could you have with over a million subscribers? With all the info text services, tie-up partnerships and the common subscribers you would still claim for great loss? 

Most of the time, my internet connection is not working or system is down. I have a Globelines phone and internet connection and am a Globe prepaid subscriber too. Is this how they reward loyal subscribers, regardless of the short comings I am aware of? But whatsoever, why on earth Globe CS never responses to queries and complain? They never give clear explanations why is this so, why is that, and so on, blah blah blah… They just leave you unsatisfied no matter how much you patronize their service. 

Some things possible huh?
