loneliness and longings for his wife. One time he told me that he spent several sleepless nights and he resorted to booze, to tranquilize him with the hope that such might put him to sleep.

Instant Messaging After explaining to him that he was going to spend 999.00 pesos only for his monthly dues or 33.30 pesos a day for his Smart Wireless Broadband Internet access connection; that Yahoo! Instant Messaging Service is free; that after computing the amount he spent for long distance calls, it was found out that he spent so much more than home video conferencing and that I was working with Smart Communications that serves Smart Wireless Broadband Internet access, he was somewhat convinced.

We purchased Creative Vista Pro web camera, an A-4 headset and a VGA connector for his TV. “Is this all?” . . . he commented as he seemed surprised of the few adds-on needed to complete his home video conferencing system.

Messenger and oriented him of the steps to do home video conferencing. The following day I took charge of his Smart Wireless Broadband subscription.

For their Intimate conversations, she may just disconnect the VGA connector from her Laptop in the bedroom or switch OFF the power switches of the TV and Home stereo system.
