Pardonez moi jud sa mga smartbro people but im on my way to my second year as a subscriber, but these past few months there were so many instances wherein I had no connection and I'm supposed to beat a deadline or die. Well, I didn't die but my paycheck came late because i had to wait for sunrise so i can go downtown to the university where there's wi-fi and continue working... and i hate it if i can't meet deadlines--it's a psychological thing. haha.
