Last week, I brought my iPad to Davao for my business tour. I can’t live a day without being connected to the internet and to get some updates from the sites I follow. Knowing that the hotel my company booked don’t offer free internet connection in my room, I decided to buy a Globe Microsim and subscribe to unlimited data service for 5 days.

One advantage of having a mobile tablet computer is you can update or do something wherever or whenever you want.

I’ve borrowed Mami Janie’s iPhone4 so I can add load and subscribe for the 5-day Supersurf. I haven’t received any notification that they received my subscription but they’ve deducted my card already with Php 220 for the unlimited data service. I called Globe and told me that the usual alibi and transferred me to technical support department who just told me that they’ve manually activated it an I have to wait for 24 hours. Twenty four hours and yet my Supersurf line is already running!

I decided to ditch the service and forget all about it and just use my Blackberry to get some updates. It is really frustrating to pay for something for nothing!

Just so you know, I’m back from Davao and yet my service is still not working. Kudos to Globe!

@talk2Globe all you can do is ask how can you help when your CS, TS and even Managers can’t do anything

@enjoyGlobe Enjoy my ass!

And I can’t believe I’m still maintaining my more than 9 years line subscription for Globe.

This is crazy!

First, we’ve seen this… USB powered fan…

Next, USB powered drink warmer

and then this, USB Vacuum Cleaner…

Now, USB warm gloves!

Actually this invention is quite cool and useful to those who can’t live without their laptop even to the days when Blizzard strikes! I need it and love it! With this, I can see myself blogging at the pond in Central Park in the middle of Snow Storm!
