Where's WIFI?

So...Feeling Techie today?

I brought my netbook out and even used it...WOW...

My officemate & I went to this exclusive lounge for our afternoon bonding. Normally we would just have long talks over long lunch. This time though we have our laptops...hehehe

Surfing was good at that place since I've tested it yesterday. What's even nice is you have a choice of your free (any time) coffee, or hot choco, or ice tea. Not to mention you can also charge your cellphone in their free docks.

Now for the exciting part.

We went our separate ways, meaning also I have to find myself a good spot for WIFI.

Now that's the big challenge!!!!

Most coffee shops here have WIFI, all you need is buy their outrageous coffee (and food) and your free to surf. But where can I get this unlimited surfing?

I walked and walked through the mall looking for the best location to create my thoughts, check my Farmville and do my research.

Spending would be an obvious thing I'd have to do. Payday is in two days but I chose to do "my research now". What the heck? All I have to find is good location and my money's worth. For sure I'd be eating anyway so let's get it on....

I'm trying now Seattle's Best. I like the food here and the place is not that crowded. I found a good spot with a nice couch. . .Now I go to the counter to order. I found out that in order to get that awaited WIFI connection it has to cost me a minimum of 150php. Hmmm... Well I'm already here might as well eat, be merry and surf.

I settled to my seat, near 2 guys talking business, and mind you talking very fluent. Anyway, going back to my WIFI searching...So, prepared my netbook and satrted searching. Alas! I found it! I was too excited to start browsing. To my disappointment I got the connection but no display.

As usual, I've restarted the netbook several times, still no luck.

Finally, I had the courage to ask one of the staff for assistance. My bad, or was it theirs? I wasn't given the password!!!! yikes...

My...my...hey it's my first time, so give me a break!....hahaha

My friend called me up a few minutes after I successfully opened my blog. I told him this research, and boy he laughed!!!

I thought he'd be angry because I took my netbook out without telling him. Good thing it turned out pretty ok with him. I'm glad he liked the idea that I was trying to learn by this research.

Now, my clock is ticking literally. I have only less than 30minutes for this coffee shops' WIFI. Which means I'll be using my phone's gprs after it expires. And which means I wasn't told it was only good for an hour....Geez
