an obsessed cellphone junkie..

i was planning to buy a new phone.so my dad and bro accompanied me to sm to check out some cellphone units..i only have a small budget for it since i already gave up my being so obssess and updated with my phone.i could still remmber way back in high school when i had my first cellphone in 2nd yr.that was a N5110.my mom bought it for me..and would u believe that i was the first one in our family to have a cel?my dad and mom never owned one b4..i was so obssessed with my phone..i could spend 900 woth of cellphone load in a week..imagine that..and my dad wouldnt really give a damn since they were still ignorant with hi tech stuffs..i was a cellphone junkie at the age of 13..beat that..when i was in my 3rd yr,i had 3 cellphones with me..my N5110,N3310 and a motoral unit i just forgot the what model..i think that was a v288..and id spend thousands of load for it..i never bothered at all ff id spend my whole allowance for my load..as long as i have my buddies with me life is already complete..but i wasnt satisfied yet..i kept changing units..every 2 months..pul-anun nga bata bitaw..heheh...im not contented with one phone and sticking to one unit at a long period of time..so i was always updated..whatever unit is popular and new, id definitely have to have one of those..

until i reached college..my obsession got fuckin worst..its worser than u think...i keep buying new brands of cellphones every two weeks..and my friends and even my parents are really surprised why i keep having a new unit every two weeks.since that trade in came to my busy world..everything was defining...and believe me..their aint just the cheap phones that we see around..id totally saved for it..one reason why i was slimming down also coz i never spend even a single cent of my allowance for my food..all for the sake of my phone..the most expensive phone that i got was N6600.my dad bought it for me in its first worldwide release..he bought it for 24k.and it was shit dude..my first camera phone was n7650.it was also the first camera phone released by nokia..i bought it for 19k.i had a N3650 i bought for 16k.a N3660 which has somthin in common with N3650 for 19k.i had a N3200 worth 9k.sony erickson t290 worth 5k.N6101 worth 12k.N7610 worth 17k..and with the numbers that ure seeing .i know what ur actually thinking right now..im sooo extravagant to the bones..my dad would even complain already that im spending too much of my money from these gadgets...and im not jst obsessed...i was afraid to admit that i was totally and insanely addicted by it...and yes i was...

but suddenly there came a turning point in my life that i came to think on something that i should have thought even before...but i was too blind and i got blinded from social competitiveness and material abduction..i shouldnt be doing this in the first place...i was crazy,insane,absurd,pathetic,a loser.....i realized money was hard to gain and have...specially right now that i stopped school and my dad is a retiree already...i just couldnt spend a lot of my money and i have to budget my money for my expenses unlike b4...these cellphone gadgets poisoned my mind..my heart my life...

it was hard for me to stop and rehabilitate by abstaining myself from buying expensive cellphones..i can spend my money from the things that can be more useful and money's worth for my everyday living...now im learning how to save..and yes it worked very well for me...right now i went back to my old model..N7650.its an old school camera phone still useful tho...and im contented and satisfied with it already....just as how i look at life....contented,fulfilled,gratifying,satisfied.....as long as im happy and enjoying every single day im living in this crazy world......its all that i care,....
