Happy New Year

2009 is here! How fast really time flies. I know that this year won't be easy because I'll now be on my own (my mom is bound to leave on Sunday for the US).

For starters, I bought myself a new phone, the Nokia 7610 Supernova. It has this sleek slide design, 3.2 megapixels camera, radio and music player, 64MB memory with expandable microSD memory up to 2G. Just google the other specs if you wanna know more. I bought one because my brother (from Japan) wanted to have my Motorola v3i which I love so much. It's quite ironic because why would he want to have my old phone when he's in Japan where all the cool technology stuff are.

Anyway, buying a new phone is an agonizing process... especially if you have no idea as to what to buy and if you're on a budget... As to the budget side, I didn't really stick to it -- I was thinking of buying one for 6-8K only and I ended up purchasing something that's valued more. I really had no idea. I guess I've gotten used to my brother (from the US) buying techie stuff for me -- all my cellphones as in... and my beloved pocket pc.

Motorola's one of my choices because of it's tested durability but unfortunately units for this brand is not diverse and the ones I liked costs 17K which was way way way beyond my budget. No question -- Nokia has the most diversity of all cellphone brands... So there I was, reading every specification written on the cards of every cp. I dunno what brought me to end up with the Supernova... Probably because it's unique (with it's metallic/mirrored surface)... it's new.... and I dunno anyone who owns one. And maybe because the word 'Supernova' makes people wonder and wanna google it immediately. But frankly speaking, its functionality is almost the same as the other cheaper phones of Nokia. It doesn't have the QWERTY keys like that of the E71 and E63 (to which I was attracted to first kasi parang blackberry and very corporate looking and for P14,200 BUT out of stock).

I went into a momentary state of depression after I bought it because first, it's over my budget; second, just adding a little more could have gotten me an E63; third, I was so impatient in waiting for the new E63 stocks to come (which by the way is just 2 days); fourth, I was doubting if the Supernova is really worth the purchase price. .. and the list goes on and on.... but in the end I realized that my v3i is already in Japan and that I already bought this phone so I just have to live with it and learn to love it. hahahha... Siguro after seeing what I went through after the purchase, the bear won't accompany me to my future purchases. hehehe...

So much for my cellphone story... What else is in store for 2009? I'll be living independently. I've been drafting my to do's daily, weekly and monthly for the household stuff. Of course the bills are handled pretty well but as to the household, I really have to do some organizing and scheduling.... I have plants and animals to take of.... not to mention tending to the mess they make such as falling leaves, growing branches, piling poop.... cleaning and the endless disposal of redundant but usable items. Career-wise, I know that it will be more difficult because bulk of the reviews will be made this year. I just do hope that I'll be able to bring more bacon home. In love, cheers to more years of togetherness. Spiritually, I do hope that I'll be closer to God. Physically, more pounds to burn... hahaha.. hello fitness first!....

I just wish that I'll be able to survive this year just like the other years... I'd be needing a lot of FOCUS AND CONCENTRATION AND WILLINGNESS TO DO BETTER.
