When the third quarter of 2018 came, I promised to refresh and challenge myself to make things happen. I figured out that I do not need January to come for me to move and achieve outdated goals on my to-do list. This entailed creating a makeshift office in a nearby Starbucks branch to finish tasks over a cup of my favorite cold brew drink.
Working in a cafe has a lot of pros but one of the cons is the lack of power outlets where I can charge my devices. I bring at least three devices with me on a daily basis and there are times when I get unlucky because there are no available spots near where the outlets are.

Power banks are my modern-day lifesavers. I need not worry if there's a seat available with outlets in it because I can easily charge my devices through my handy-dandy powerbank.
The Anker PowerCore II Slim Powerbank shook me to the core because it's almost charging my iPhone 1% per minute. During the first time that I tried it, I was having a fast internet connection with an equally fast powerbank device. I literally felt the need to keep up with my writing speed as well because everything's happening so quickly.

I had to suffer a defunct iPhone battery because I was too stingy to get myself a pricey but reliable lightning cable. In the end, I needed to spend on a battery replacement and a lightning cable combined.

I liked how the Anker PowerLine+ Lightning Cable comes in a premium nylon-braided cable cover to protect it from tear in its rubber. Also, while typical power cables have 1,000 to 3,000 "bend lifespans" (number of times its tip will be bent before it breaks), this badass can hold up to 6,000+ bends.
