I went to Mobile1 in Makati today to pick up my membership card and I thought I'd squeeze in a few downloads while I was there. :) However, when I got there, the sole computer dedicated for Pocket PC Downloads was occupied by another member. So I had no choice but to sit my butt on one of their comfy chairs and wait for my turn. (Buti nga kamo they had comfy chairs) As luck would have it, I sat there for what seemed like an eternity... Luckily they also offered free WiFi access so you wouldn't get bored. But after a few unsucessful attempts at blogging (yes, i wanted to post one while I was there), I grew kinda restless and just sat there. Sadly, the downside of using WiFi with mobile devices is that not all the sites you want to go to are compatible with your web browser version. :( sigh.. So i was just sitting there, thinking about what a great waste of time it was (remember, I haven't finished studying yet.. see previous post..), when at long last, the guy finally stood up and it was my turn! Hallelujah!!! =P
It wasn't a very productive download day. I only got a handful of EBooks (Netter, Harrisons 16th, etc) coz the files were so big and took so long to download!! But the most important thing I was able to download was the program called Pocket Slides, which is essentially Powerpoint for the Pocket PC. :D That's cool..
Now for the gripes.. I wish Mobile1 would get another computer to accomodate the multitudes of PPC-toting members so we wouldn't have to wait so long just to get a handful of downloads.. Sayang talaga sa oras.. Those guys on Palm have it easy. They've got two computer stations for their downloading pleasure.. Its just not fair! =P
It's amazing. I never thought I'd find myself blogging at a regular basis, especially in the middle of the schoolyear. =P I find it kinda therapeutic actually. At least now I have some kind of creative outlet to defeat the overwhelming madness that is medical school. hehehe :)
Oh, and by the way, I'm almost done with my readings. I guess a little proper time management and determination to get things done will really go a long way.. ;)
