missing something
I haven’t been in contact with friends for the past couple of weeks. Well, I have yet to get a new cell phone and most of them doesn’t seem to check their email or go on YM anyway so I am not really sure if they knew. Honestly though, it feels good. Not having a cell phone for awhile now has given me this sense of freedom. I swear having one is like having a ver demanding lover. And a chronic compulsion. You know when you have to reply to messages or take calls even in the most inappropriate (board meetings or classrooms) or dangerous (while shopping in greenhills or divi) of places, at the most inconvenient times (midnight, dawn) even at the most uncomfortable situations (while looking for your flipflops under your bed). The things I miss about it is the camera and the video recording feature
I am one of those who love such features cos of the way it gets my creative juices flowing, and how I can preserve inspirations and memories. God knows how many photos and videos I’ve taken while onboard the LRT, or while inside the cab (one driver even thought I’m a film director, and was gracious enough to drive me through places with a “nice view”) Cell phones have become a really affordable and easy way to enhance one’s creativity. And being someone who derives inspiration from just about anything – the loss was quite a big one. But I shall get a new one in the next week or two, and I can’t wait! I am still canvassing and checking out features and reading product reviews. A 2 megapixel phone is enough (my last one was 1.3) and 64mb internal memory is good enough (I upload the files immediately, edit and convert them anyway). I will get another Sony Ericsson phone and still deciding if I will get a plan subscription or just get a prepaid SIM. And I don’t know how else I’m gonna do it but I shall take extra care so that this phone will not be stolen! I swear if there is any product like a burglar alarm that you can attach to your cell phone I am so gonna buy it!

Nons! The old BITS site is still up. I tried logging in and I was able to post an entry! Hahaha how weird is that? I dunno why JM still has coretechnique up but it is! Anyway my sister will host us, and I’ll probably use wordpress as the blogging tool (or something easy to use). I’m thinking French Revolution as the colour and design theme, but you can suggest anything else.
wala lang, i really like this idea hahaha! It’s keeping me busy, which is fabulous! Anyway the old BITS link is http://www.bits.coretechnique.com
