RIP 0919-815-67**... =(

I never had a thing for flashy phones. I never needed the newest model or the most complicated gadget but I do give so much importance to "sentimental value"...

Yesterday night at 8:54PM. I was at work as usual I checked my Smart Cellphone for the last time. Somebody stole it while it was "safely" kept inside my locker. I keep telling people I've had it for more than 7 years but that's incorrect and I apologize.

Here's the story of my "phone number" that went missing:

On Aug 2005, Me and my boyfriend went to Star City. We've been going out for barely 3 months. We took a ride in one of those scary, twisting rides and my phone fell out my pocket. I wanted to tell the operator to stop the ride but duh! I can't so, I just watched it tumble along the freakishly fast roller coaster (I guess). When the ride ended it's too late. The monitor is broken and the battery is well, inside out.

I freaked out cause it was a phone my dad gave me for my bday. I can't tell them I lost it or broke it. My boyfriend, being the sweetheart that he is told me that we can solve that problem. That very hour we walked out of the theme park and hailed a cab to SM Manila. There we looked for the exact same phone model. It was really embarrassing cause mine was 2nd hand and there he was buying me a brand new cellphone. It wasn't cheap for a spur of the moment gift. It was a Sony Ericsson K700i phone. (Don't laugh it was really cute then...) He bought me a sim card too.

THAT was the sim card that received all his messages... The sweet ones and the not so sweet ones. Gosh, I used to nag him with that # =)... But more importantly that # witnessed a 5-year-relationship grow. It's been my number for 5 years and 2 months... It's not the same phone anymore cause I replaced the unit after 3 years (You know how fragile Sony Ericsson phones are (hehehe) It's the memories that come along with that number.

So as sad as it may be... I have to let go of a classic.

Bye 0919-815-67** I'll never forget you.
