Wi-fi

We forgot about paying our landline bill on time.  As a consequence, our line was temporarily cut.  Tatay and I were thinking it might be good to go without WI-FI momentarily to curb the children's dependence to it.  In fairness, Rod's phone is "confiscated" from Sunday afternoon to Thursday night. He gets to enjoy it only on the weekends.  However, when he does have his phone, he is glued to it all day.

So, after two  days of having no WI-FI.  I got this Skype message from Rod (they were at Lola Fely's house at that time thus the connection):

Rod: Nay mag padala ka gud ng pera kay tatay wala ng wifi kaya hindi ka na namin ma tawagan.

I did not answer him instead asked him how he was as he was recently sick.  I asked how his exam was and whether he had to be absent.  He answered me each time but then kept at it again:

Rod:  Nay kailan maka bayad ng wifi.

Since I apparently could not escape the inevitable,I just told him, "Di ko alam anak... wala pa akong pera.  Baka sa katapusan pa.  Kumusta ka na?"

Rod: Oct 31 bala ka hindi ka na namin ma tawagan hanggang oct 31.

We got cut off momentarily and then I just to have a talk with Mama Fely who was celebrating her birthday.

Then in true, Rod fashion, he persisted, "Nay mag bili ka ng maraming notebooks at pencil tapos hindi ka maka bayad ng wifi."  This surely made me laugh.  He was pertaining to the outreach activity we are donating to.  I had to tell him that the notebooks and pencils were much cheaper.  To which he only added, "Bayaran mo na lang gud ang wifi."  Hehe! Such persistence!
