hello mylotters, Christmas is fast approaching and i know all of you are having a plan to buy presents for your love ones or for your self. Oh about me I'm planning to buy a Christmas presents for myself. Since I started my discussion here in "cellphones" I would love to have a new cellphone for my self. Right now I have my old phone which I have for the past 5 years now. No, it's not a touch phone, it's big and bulky phone though it comes in 3G. I love this phone since this is my first 3G phone. Since it's now old enough for me, I am planning to buy a new phone, a touch screen phone. here in the Philippines, there is a inexpensive brand of phone the Cherry mobile. they have a new model the Cherry mobile Flare. It comes in 4 inch IPS capasitive screen, android 4.0 ice cream sandwich OS and the good thing is it's only Php 3,999 or $95.

I agree, we should also reward ourselves from time to time. Especially for all the hardwork that we have put in I say some self-indulgence is in order . I also plan to give myself something for Christmas. Since my husband has bought me an iPhone for Christmas (he's bad in keeping surprises from me, lol!) I plan to get myself that purse that I have been saving up for almost a year now. But I'll see if I would change my mind, I'm not that decided yet.

I'm not really sure. I might even end up not buying anything and just save the extra money, haha! I'm all for saving but I do want to eat myself once in a while. But savings is really my topmost priority.

that is so nice. So if you ever change your mind what present do you plan to buy besides the purse?

Hi there mrsuniega! You mentioned that your phone is 5 years old already, right? I think its about time that you change it. Not that I'm saying because its old or anything, but what I'm saying is 5 years of good condition for a phone is quite a good run don't you think? And its ok for you to reward yourself with a new phone, and Christmas is the best excuse for buying something for ourselves, right? :)

Yeah I have been reading a lot of this new smartphone by Cherry Mobile and I am curios as well with its features. They boast of dual core processor which means it is fast. I also have seen a lot of videos on youtube featuring this model. It looks like tempting enough to buy it. I inquired in one store and they said that the model is currently out of stock already right after their launching. Although on second thought I know that their older models were easily broken down that is why I am looking for any users that could say that this model will be durable as well.

Right now I am just looking for an unbiased comment on the phone. I have read on the net that the battery seems to overheat when you used it frequently for wifi or game playing. I do not know how true is this.

Yes, really have to think of ourselves too.Rewarding ourselves for all the hardship and hard work that we have.Buying ourselves is not bad since we work hard for it.As of the moment, I don't have anything in mind what gift should I buy for myself since I already bought cellphone last March cause my 3 year old phone was already not functioning.

Hi mrsuniega! I agree that you should set aside something for yourself. We should make ourselves happy also after working very hard for our family. Cherry mobile brands are also good brands. Personally, I can't think of something to buy for myself as of now. Have a nice day!

Yes, it really do. Christmas is fast approaching and I can also smell the breeze of extravagance in this season. lol. I am wishing for something and that is to have a digital camera. I am fond of capturing moments and I love to take pictures but then I can not still afford to buy one for I am helping my brother in his finances in his studies. As a gift for myself, if God permits that our company would give our bonus this Christmas then it would be nice. I will buy a digital camera.

Yup, I would love to have a gift for myself..hmm.. I am also thinking about it. But right now, it is not the right time. I have more important things to consider much more priority is needed than my needs. This is for my family future and for my loves ones. So as of now, I will have to sacrifice for it. Maybe next year I can have it.
