My Globe Tattoo 4G Flash Review
I promised to write a review about the Globe Tattoo 4G Flash after my 120 hours / five days free trial upon purchasing the unit. That time was up last Thursday, and I have been using the dangle until now using their Supersurf service. I have to tell you, though, that before using the 4G flash, I’ve been using the regular Globe tattoo dongle boasting a speed of up to 3.6 Mbps for a year before this. I wasn’t very satisfied with the reception I was getting here in Cubao, so I figured that I’d have to look for something better. Plus, upon reading good reviews from fellow bloggers and seeing their extensive advertisements about their “new” and “improved services,” I ought to give it a try, don’t I? Their broadband has this new skin, and it’s pretty neat.
Upon plugging in the dongle, a 21.6 Mbps prompt will tell you about – perhaps how fast the reception the dongle is getting – or not.
It's very slow, but I just got to endure it for now. What I don't understand is that I am only getting 3G signals. My bad, perhaps since I am living here in "Cubao." (duh! I thought I should be getting better reception here - FAIL) What a laugh! I wonder which location has 4G? This dongle cost me around 1k+ (gotta check my receipt), and to be honest. There's not much of a difference between the old Globe broadband I'm using (up to 3.6 Mbps) to this one. I guess what I like most about this, though, is their prepaid surfing service. I've no plans of actually signing up for a plan which usually has a locked-in period, so their supersurf services' just great to use it. At the moment, I'm still not pissed with the service I'm getting, unlike the experience I've had with Sun Broadband. That's a total nightmare! Anyways, I'll continue using Globe 4G flash for now and will tell you in the future If I'm still with them.
Here are the speed tests I ran at around 1:50 -2:05 AM (5:53 GMT), and the results are just ridiculous!

Eat Pray Love Break-Up E-mail
We haven't had any communication in a while, and it's given me time I needed to think. Remember when you said we should live with each other and be unhappy so we could be happy? Consider it a testimony to how much I love you that I spent so long pouring myself into that offer, trying to make it work. But a friend took me to the most amazing place the other day its called, The Augustium. Octavian Augustus built it to house his remains. When the Barbarians came they trashed it along with everything else. The Great Augustus Rome's first true great emperor. How could he have imagined that Rome, the whole world as far as he was concerned, one day would be in ruins. It's one of the quietest and loneliest places in Rome. The city has grown up around it over centuries. Feels like a precious wound, Like a heartbreak you won't let go of cause it hurts too good. We all want things to stay the same David. Settle for living in misery because were afraid of change. Of things crumbling to ruins. then i looked around in this place at the chaos its endured. The way its been adapted, burned, pillaged, and found a way to build itself back up again...and i was reassured. Maybe my life hasn't been so chaotic, It's just the world that is. And the only real trap is getting attached to any of it. ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation. Even in this eternal city. The Augustium showed me that we must always be prepared for endless waves of transformation.
