How fast is my Smartbro Connection?

Here’s my speedtest.net result for my Smartbro internet connection under the 2Mbps plan:

I’ve also tested with testmy.net, and the result:

I’ve been using Smart Broadband Wireless (a.k.a. canopy) since it was still under Meridian Telecoms circa 2004. Though Smartbro isn’t perfect (no ISP is), I’m very very satisfied with the speed, consistency, and pricing.

Not bad, not bad at all…

“Sa Aking Pagtanda” a letter by Fr. Ariel Robles

After seeing this video in Facebook, I was determined to find who wrote this letter.
As luck has it, DZMM’s Faylon and Sanchez radio show did an audio version of this and mentioned who penned this wonderful letter, Fr. Ariel Robles.

Thank God for the internet and I found more information about Fr. Ariel Robles and the poem, “Sa Aking Pagtanda”. I even found an english version!

I’m posting the video version below so that you can read the letter again with music. After the video, I’m posting the letter in Filipino, then in English. If you were touched by this beautiful piece of literature and video, please do share this post.

Let’s share the message and appreciate our parents more — they deserve it.
