Why Did I Unfollow Lola Techie?
12 Jul
Update here: Why Did I Follow Lola Techie Again?
I used to be a fan of Lola Techie on her Plurk right after the Bayantel ad has aired on ABS-CBN shows. I was pretty sure that time it was purely promotional and the grandmother figure is just a fiction. Yet, I still decided to follow her at least in Plurk to feel how good the portrayer is in building the Lola Techie character.
Her first pokes are enjoyable. The same bitter-lola comic was still there while she’s keep on bashing her used-to-be-favorite grandson, JR. But the next plurks become boring as she keeps on asking what’s on our lunch or dinner (so her new grandsons and granddaughters would replurk back) and her continuous segue on ABS-CBN shows. I really don’t need ‘em because I really do watch ‘em.
More reasons why I unfollowed her -
- I’m getting tired of muting her plurks when her new grandsons and granddaughters are still on the hype. Lola Techie is receiving 50 replies at average.
- She’s taking Facebook quizzes and applications and posting it on plurk! I’m keeping those type of statuses away from my news feed. And there you go! She’s now spamming my Plurk.
- The trend is that she might have her own blogger event! Knowing her followers are mostly Pinoy bloggers.
- And since Lola Techie is an imagination, I hope her creator should have been packaging her into more techie person. The reason I enjoyed Inday, ang Sosyal na Katulong, is that she and her manager are successful in leaving the audience with their nose bleeding. It should have been more Lola Techie if she had plurked that she’s able to secure a wireless router, to remove a virus from a computer, to use the Konami code and some other geeks stuff. Sana nilubos-lubos na nila.
Yet, I wish I can meet the superstar in person. Maybe in Coffee Bean, while she’s wirelessly surfing. But it might not happen. The diva is into wired DSL connection.
P.S.
Lola Techie,
Please add me in your mafia.
Your prodigal grandson,
Don Nazty.

Dear,
I don’t think that the Lola Techie (pronounced as Tet-chi) was made to portray the role that you would have wished they packaged her for.
The Bayantel commercial communication was clear– madali ang kumonek sa internet (pati na rin ang matuto mag internet in the process) that even grandparents ay kayang kaya mag internet.
Let’s not be constrained to the name as this is something used for more recall in advertising and marketing.
Though the spamming part is kind of not good.
cheers!
Hi Samieboi,
Thanks for the reply! Points are taken.
The name Lola Techie is misleading. (And I guess even dictionaries say something about techie.) It was only today that I learned it is to be pronounced as Tet-chi, as in Tetchie Agbayani.
I got the ‘Install agad’ message. No problems with that.
Of course, if you associate the name techie to ‘tekkie’ persons, you would expect more ‘geek-ness’ and in this case, more Lola Techie’s knowledge in technology. BayanDSL posted her five accounts in networking sites so it’s understandable that the audience expects more of her personality that BayanDSL stuff. Managing five accounts — she must be really a techie gal then.
But again, my whole point is that Lola Tetchi failed me on my ‘fantasy’ so I unfollowed her. But it does not mean I don’t like her or implies that BayanDSL ad is crap. If she’s not that tekkie, then having Plurk, Facebook, Multiply, Twitter and the like, defines Lola Tetchi as “sociable”. She might not be techie but she is someone that I need in my Mafia. (I haven’t removed her as a Facebook friend. Lolz.)
I’m sorry if I have certain standards on my Plurk friends.
Cheers!
