I have lost almost half a month's earnings because we had no phone or internet since the last week of September. I guess that I can say that in one way or the other, we are also affected by the storm that hit the Philippines recently. I tried connecting using my cellphone, but the signal is also erratic here where I live and all that I could do was wait for service to be restored. Now, I only have internet service which is good. At least I can start posting discussions again and pick up on my online earnings. Has anyone experienced the same dilemma as I have?
By the way, it's not just earnings from mylot that has been affected. I don't think that I can expect any payouts this end of the month

hello anne25peen, welcome back. not only you're earnings but it seems that you turned red again, your star i mean. but the important is you can mylot again as usual. it's a big minus for me if am not online in the internet, it's extremely hard for me not being online everyday. well, the important part is that you're back. i hope typhoons won't be coming back sooner or later.@anne25penn (3305)

I was joking with my mom that our internet service may not last 24 hours because there is a storm brewing and in fact it is already raining here where I live. But again, I hope that it's just rain, no casualties or anything like the last two storms. Thank you for your response!

Isn't it funny, we don't realize the far-reaching effects of a disaster until well after the fact. Any disaster has effects. I remember after the stock market in the US had such problems, and I didn't really pay attention - I don't have sotcks. but when prices started going up in the stores, I realized how even something so far removed still touches me. No man is an island, eh?

just enjoy your condition. be patient. believe it that you will get internet service later. eventhough you have to waiting for a long long time.
