While forcing myself to be late…

The day I decided I wouldn't come early was the day I learned that not all Starbucks branches are stingy with their internet. True, most of them require you to pay to use their net via airborneaccess or globe biz, but not all of them (although some don't have it often too). Some actually allow you to use it for free.
The branch across Alabang Town Center (within Madrigal) lets you access the net for free. It also allows you to use their electric sockets as well. Internet speed is not too bad. Around 300+ kb/s. Not as fast as the one in Lifestyle Cafe but definitely better than something you pay for at around Php100 an hour. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to try out the electric outlet. I'll probably charge it when I go to school later.
Honestly, I thought it was a fluke that I was able to surf here using my DS. Turns out, the fluke was when I couldn't access it using my phone. Gotta try that again next time. Hopefully I'll insert the picture of this browsing soon. Laziness got to me... *again*
