I guess it all started when I yearned for a high-megapixel camera for myself. I could not even equally reciprocate my colleague's generosity from taking pictures of me while we were having a grand time in Hong Kong. Our HK memories were beautifully-documented in high-resolution images thanks to her 16-mp Olympus magnificent camera.
Although I had tried to do my share, but my lousy 8-mp camera would barely cooperate at all. How embarrassing! I vowed however to properly equip myself for my next travel. And I mean it!
And not only that, when we took a taxi from the hotel to a friend's house, I let the driver use my phone to talk to my friend and ask for the directions to our destination. He looked at my phone as if it was a Nokia 5110. I was so amused! Hahaha!
Also, while we were riding a bus going to Admiralty, everyone else was furiously tapping and sliding their fingers on their phones. Suddenly, my colleague nudged me to take out my phone and compete with them. And we both giggled in laughter! :)
You see, I am currently using a phone from a non-touchscreen era. I could even call and text in the middle of a busy street and nobody would dare snatch the phone from me. Or perhaps, the hold uppers at Cubao would even take pity on me, if not, get the phone and throw it back to me. Whew!
Since I had been planning to buy a new camera and a new mobile phone, I realized I could get the two units in one gadget. That is, buy a new phone embedded with a high-mp camera.
I was almost at the brink of buying a Samsung Galaxy phone in HK had it not for the very, very limited time that we had. And I was so haunted by the thought of it even when we were already at the airport to catch for our flight back to Manila, that when I saw the Fortress shop, I literally ran towards it and looked around. Unfortunately, the kuripot in me prevailed, as usual.. Tsk! Tsk!
And it's almost five months since then. I thought my hunger for a new phone was already a history. But I was wrong.. Huhuhu
