I don’t know what has gotten into me, but when I was in the church this afternoon, I suddenly wanted to blog about the cellphones that I had. Yes, I’m weird like that. And I always try to satisfy what I want, so here I am, blogging about this weirdness. Click the images to enlarge (a little, hehe).

Motorola M3588

This model/unit was my very first cellphone! My mother actually first owned it. I was in grade 5 (year 2000), I think, when she bought this phone and I got all hyped up! Gee, was I a techie already at that time? Oh yes, I remember we were acquainted with the computer at a very young age. Anyway, my mom gave it to me when I was in grade 6 (again, I’m not sure). I lost interest in having a phone some time later, so I was cellphone-less for a few months in my high school life. If I remember right, that is. We gave this unit to my cousin.

Nokia 3315

I don’t know what made me realize I needed a phone after all. I just told my mom about it, and I think she was supportive back then. Haha. I had this during my 3rd year in high school. We were not allowed to bring cellphones to school, so it slept on my bed at home most of the time, getting active only at night and during weekends. This was the phone I had during the early unlimited texting craze. BTW, I was a Smart subscriber from my previous phone to this one.

Nokia 6610i

High school students as we were, there were always those who were gutsy enough to break the rules. I was one of them, but not hard-core. Some of us brought phones to school, trying to hide it in places not likely to be looked into during unexpected inspections. But during breaks, others would take ‘em out since there’re no teachers roaming around during that time. That’s when I realized my phone was so old school. I wanted one just like theirs — colored display and with a camera. It wasn’t easy asking for a new gadget from mom, but I did anyway. After the attempts of convincing her, she finally agreed. Weee! I had it during my 4th year in high school. So I had 2 cellphones already (and SIM cards of all networks). That was until my Nokia 3315 got broken, leaving me with only 1 phone again. And I discarded my other SIM cards except Sun and Globe. I had this for the longest time — about 3 years.

Samsung U900 (Soul)

I was actually just satisfied with my Nokia 6610i, but there came a time when I wanted a new one again. Of course, things got cooler, and I didn’t want to be left behind. Haha. Since 2008 (3rd year in college) was the year I started blogging and earning online, I saved up enough money to buy a new phone. I bought this unit online, and I named it The Soul. I loved this phone so much! All my attention went to it that I gave my other phone to my brother (since he lost his and needed one; then he lost the one I gave him, too). Having only 1 phone, I just kept one SIM card — my Sun SIM card. Until now, I’m a solid Sun subscriber. I lost this phone April this year but didn’t cry over it. I didn’t even get furious or something. It’s just sad to think that it got lost/stolen, not got broken.

Samsung B5310 (Corby PRO)

During the time when I was cellphone-less (the owned one, not the borrowed one), I just used my mom’s old phone. But it didn’t satisfy my craving. Hahaha. Maybe the reason why I wasn’t infuriated that I lost The Soul was that I wished to have a new one with additional features. So it was meant to happen, huh? It’s just a good thing that I didn’t have to wait long before getting hold of this unit. Now, I’m close to penniless already. But I’m happy with my C/B. Hahaha.

My weirdness ends here. Entries like this take up so much time, but I always enjoy making it. I just think I have to minimize it for now since I’ve got loads of other things to Kamehameha my efforts into. Got time? Make weird posts like this one!
