When I contacted SE chat support, the agent ran a trace route test to see if he could send/receive data packets from the US to here (Abu Dhabi, UAE). He said that at some point the data packets fail to reach. He suggested I use port forwarding (which didn't solve the problem) and contact my ISP (Etisalat) to see if they could had any solutions. Ofcourse, Etisalat customer care representatives didn't know what a data packet was, all they could do was reboot my modem/router from their end which didn't help. I asked them if they'd made any changes to their servers in the past week (4-5 days ago specifically) and they said they hadn't. So I'm thinking that it may be more of a Sony/PSN-related issue that affected all Etisalat users, maybe it was the last PSN update.
no surprise @ etisalat. i'm only here temporarily and they've been so dismal already.

so... does this mean just waiting it out? as in, will it resolve itself? or is it a good idea to contact Sony/PSN support at this time? kinda stumped here. and i just resubbed for 3 months :/
