I am scheduled to leave for Odiongan, Romblon on the del8th/del 12th of December 2007. I’ll be checking out the new rented place (spacious floor area 4×6 meters) for our business (along with the merchandising and soon-to-include iCafe). The said establishment is located in front of the Romblon State University. Complete with a comfy bed, bathroom and a kitchen, this will be my second home to stay for a few days. I may travel from one place to another like to Looc, Romblon (another branch) and to the capital of Romblon (where my uncle priest resides there) for example. It may be one of the not-so remote provinces in the country but data connections like Internet and mobile networks are readily available.
I had to spend some dime on renting a PC on Internet cafe’s there. The last time I did was back in the summer of 2005 and the connection speed was like worse than dialup. If that’s the case even the day I arrived there, I’ll have to rely on my mom’s N92 to check out email and reply to comments. Besides, even without 3G connection in that area, GPRS (Smart) still dominates the data connections for mobile devices. A little bit slower though than 3G.
UPDATE: It should be “Gone for 2 days” not “Gone for a Week”. Wahehe. I need to go back gain after I went to Romblon last Wednesday. Imagine you left for Romblon at 5 pm last Wednesday and arrived 4:00 am Thursday. Then the same day, you left Romblon at 5 pm to Batangas. It was tiring, really. Long story. I’ll be back there again on the 20th.
