Rose went to mass earlier today, the Children’s Mass (where I play). So we went to Glorietta earlier than usually. We had our lunch at around 1230H, kinda earlier than our usually Sunday. Since no better movie than Deck the Halls is showing, so we decided to watch it, anyway. The next screening time at Glorietta 4 is at 1430H, and it’s just 1300H so I told her that we pay Netopia EGG a visit. Took us around 20 minutes searching for the place in G4, and eventually found it — just beside the Oakwood entrance — outside of the mall .. hehehe ..

I asked the staff if my Netopia membership will be accepted, but it will not be. Huh?! The internet rate is at Php80 per hour — what?! So Rose and I decided to try their services out. It was crap! Holy crap! At 80 bucks per 60 ticks, the internet connection is just way a notch better than dial-up! Yes, a 56k dial-up. I told their staff of it, and they just replied that everything is OK — OK?! One even told that there must be someone downloading something. Huh?!

Not worth my Php80 and one hour .. -3 out of 5 stars ..
