I've been pretty busy this week...working. I teach at a place that will remain unnamed and please don't ask me how much I earn. I love my job. The workplace is nice, so are the people I work with. I'm very lucky I got this job...which may help me decide my future job which will also remain unnamed.
So there really isn't much to talk about here. Just a mourning post for my dead Blackberry. I'm extremely attached to this one Blackberry because it's been with me for 2 years now. Sadly, it has reached it's dying legs and if you haven't guessed from my Instagram pictures, I've moved to the iPhone camp. Solely because the new Curve has been said to have a terrible battery life...which is what I'm struggling with with my current Curve now.
This phone, has been with me all over Europe and I didn't lose it once. Lots of people get their phones stolen because...let's face it, we put it in our pockets. I think it was a miracle that I went to 4/10 Top 10 pickpocket destinations in the world (some of them twice!!!) here's the complete breakdown and actually didn't lose anything. Except probably my dignity due to certain antics by my bro but that's redeemable. And I've been facing that problem for more than a decade already. I didn't even get hustled...which I'm very proud of. I'm extremely paranoid when I travel. More so than usual so if anybody who reads this ends up travelling with me and I end up being a pain in the ass, I'm sorry. BUT IT'S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.
My phone, although expensive in Europe (Had to pay extra for the Blackberry plan even if it already came with a data plan...which is better than my current plan here -.-) saved my ass so many times with Google maps. The battery life is amazing. I could go an entire day without charging it despite using Google Maps, FB, Twitter, Whatsapp etc and still have some spare battery left at the end of the day. It has been dropped from great heights...and survived. Been used to do last minute Google searches to figure out what certain foods were on the menu. Entertained me on 4 hour bus rides so I could go for concerts etc. It has been with me through the highs and low of my travels and in that time, I really grew to love it. And all my 200+ photos I took with my terrible phone camera would always make me smile.
To my dear Blackberry, I will miss you and the power of BBMs. Your amazing battery life is a stunner. And the qwerty keyboard. That was amazing.
If anybody from Blackberry wants to give me a free phone, I WILL ACCEPT IT GLADLY. (Mostly because I'm using my dad's old iPhone. If it ain't broke, you don't need a new phone. But kids, don't listen to me. The economy needs you to spend)
...what a filler post.
