Google Chrome Challenge FAIL

No, no, no… Google Chrome is not an epic fail. But I am. While, I tried very hard to be faithful in using ONLY Google Chrome for seven straight days, I FAILED!

My üMobile

After weeks of hearing about the Manila launching, and after missing the Cebu launch, my üMobile SIM is now here. YEY! I was invited to the Cebu launch but uhmmm… couldn’t afford the fare, LOL! So I thought I wouldn’t get a SIM anymore. But last week, I got a call from üMobile’s courier asking
