Last week I thought of giving up smoking. Not because of my health, but because I wanted to have a valid reason
for feeling like shit.
I was succesful...
in finding a valid reason.
I realized that I am
not meant to succeed
at anything.
Excuse me while I light another cigarette...
And yes... I am the freak in the picture.

I finally figured out how to connect the mac to the internet using 3G. Of course it's a lot slower than what I'm used to but it may just be due to my location having a bad signal or something. I just think it's cool that I can have internet wherever I go now. Wherever... as long as I have a cellphone signal and there is either 3G or a GPRS signal. Like I said, it may be slower but its better than not having internet at all. I guess it'll do until all of the establishments I hang out at get a clue that internet access is almost a necessity now and make their WiFi available for free instead of charging people 100 php for just one hour of usage. It'll also give me some sort of backup for when Smart Broke acts up and decides to not work. I'm posting on this blog using it right now.
You can click these links for tutorials on how to connect your mac using 3G:
Smart [3G | GPRS]
Globe [3G/GPRS] : this one's a tutorial on connecting Cingular GPRS to a mac but it's applicable to Globe GPRS too. You just have to choose the correct settings for Globe. I tried using my mom's postpaid line and it worked but I haven't been able to make it work for a prepaid line. I'll make a tutorial when I figure out how to do it. Although, I don't think that anyone would be interested in using it because Globe charges you 0.25 cents per Kb which is scary as opposed to Smart's 10 Php every 30 minutes.
