contrary to what i wrote in my twitter account, i didn't lost my celphone in a druken stupor. i wasn't drunk, i was hung-over. two different things there people. yes, the cause might have been the same, that being drinking one too many bottles of beer and one too many shots of vodka and tequila, and one too many shots of rum cola but yeah, i was hung-over on the way to work and most likely my cell phone dropped from my pocket. now, let me be the first to tell you that what i lost was an old model phone that my mom gave me. i wasn't too big about all this cell phone brouhaha. i got my first cell phone as a gift from my folks. me and my sister got the same model. if i remember correctly, it was a nokia. not unlike others who constantly upgrade and change their phones into the latest unit, i clung to my old nokia phone as long as i can. i finally decided to give it up to a man who brandished a knife at me to get my phone. i was happy to obliged and i threw the phone at him and then threw the battery outside the speeding vehicle and tried to see if he'll jump and risk life and limb to get the battery. well, he didn't exactly jump but he did alight from the vehicle when it stopped to grab the battery and then he ran away. i didn't give chase because honestly, the phone was long overdue for a change. after that incident, i didn't get a phone for a good five years or six. i was one of the minority who didn't fuss about load credits, subscription plans, or batteries going dead. anyway, my folks, my workmates, and ultimately my boss in my previous work bugged me to get a phone for convenience so i gave it. again, i got another phone from my mom. it was a flip-top motorola that i wanted because i saw it in a dr. dre music video. i was and still is a dr. dre fan so owning a phone that dr. dre featured in his music video made me feel like dr. dre myself minus the millions of cash, properties, and adoring fans. that didn't bothered me because i had dr. dre's phone!!! that was enough for me. well, that phone got broken in half by my psychotic ex-girlfriend. did i say she was psychotic and she broke my cell phone in half? so after that, i broke her heart into bits of tiny pieces and resolved to get a new phone. so i did get new one, a samsung flip-top phone. this one lasted for another good five to seven years before it got destroyed during one of the worst typhoons in our country. look up typhoon ondoy and you will know what i mean. so after that phone, i got an old sony ericsson phone. it was a p800 model. now this was a favorite phone of mine. next to the dr. dre phone that i got. i used this until it just fell apart. i left the phone along with its chargers and headsets in a recycle bin. after this sony ericsson phone, i got another phoen from my mom. it was her old nokia phone. it is so old, i couldn't even find pictures of it in the internet. i kid you not. i think it is part of the n70 series but i'm not so sure. anyway, that was the phone that most likely fell out of my pocket in the cab on my way to work in my hung-over state. i swear that i thought that i had left it at home. anyway, so with that fifth cell phone, i'm back in the market looking for a new one. i don't want a fancy phone, something that can send and receive texts and make and receive calls is enough for me. haven't really decided but i have looked at some product reviews plus i've asked my friends for some recommendations. i'm in no rush to get a phone. seriously. anyway, my fellow mylotters, how many phones have you gone through in your life so far? i'm sure there are crazy and weird stories out there so please feel free to share. cheers and happy mylotting!
