Upgraded Plan

Since we are having dreadfully slow connection these past few days and it’s giving me a real headache, we settled on upgrading our speed connection plan. It was from 1mbps to 2mbps now and it was just connected this afternoon. Since it’s vague waiting for PLDT Mydsl connection and I’m tired of hearing complains from my customers, we considered upgrading.

We are still in the testing process and looking for a great result soon. The representative of our provider informed me that the reaction will be seen in 2-3 days so it might not be giving the best for now. Let’s see if this resolution will work for good or not. I’ll post in one day here. 

The shop's renovation

We had our shop renovated as for maximizing space and for a better look adding up the reason of preparing more spaces for more computers in the near future. We are operating with 6 computers for renting and we are hoping for additional 2 or more units. Since the shop is doing well and we’re also having growing number of customers, more units are really needed. Just like now as I’m attending our shop, many renters are waiting for their turn, hehe. Good thing a new blessing arrived and our plan will have a big chance to come true.

Look at the shop before the renovation:

As you can see, 4 computers are set together in the right side of the shop and the other 2 units are in the middle portion. It makes the shop crowded because of the server positioned in the front corner. 

So, we (actually it's Cholo's idea) came up of renovating the shop for the better. Here's the shop now:

All units are positioned in the left side of the shop and the server is now on the right upper part. It makes the place more convenient for renters and also for us.

The new look of my blog

I do like the new look of my new dressed up blog. I’m so proud of myself I now know how to create my own header and I like how the color blends and how my piece looked like. I am not a pro when it comes to designing this kind of thing and it so flattering having this masterpiece now. I hope you’ll like it! :)

I will consider this as a new learning for me.

Business Permit

Our net shop is frequently open until 01:00 am to 02:00 am dawn. Sometimes, though not intentional, customers make a lot of noise inside the shop and that bothers me it might cause inconvenience in our neighborhood. Actually, I do have understanding neighbors around but of course if they will encounter frequent disturbance because of my shop, I’m sure they will complain soon. Mom as my mentor advised me last night to get a business permit from our barangay for me to comprise legal documents in case I will have any issue in the future. And that supposed to be the first thing I’ve done when I started up this kind of business. I’m not saying that I’m conflicting rules but I already tried to get a permit from them but they advised me to do it after the election this May, so, I followed. However, though it might be sound wrong because some may think about that “PADRINO” thing since the chairman of our barangay happened to be my partner Cholo’s uncle, we intended to go after the right process appropriately. I don’t want other people to be aware that our internet shop is operating without any permit. So in order for us not to be known for abiding any regulation, my Partner get a barangay business permit then.  It is also a big help to us not to be required from getting any other business permits aside from this one given that our shop is located not near commercial area.

I also want everything about the shop to be taken care of and put in proper order. Before, we are not so strict in regard to the policies and regulations of the shop. But, I noticed that sometimes it became disadvantage in our part. So what I promised myself now is to become more firm but not to the point that it will affect the operation of our business hence still keep our customers and provide quality customer service.
