Enjoying my new Nokia X3-00!

It is mid-day, after two days of (unpredicted) pouring rain in the middle of summer, here we are again... enduring the exhausting heat and humidity that's topping the charts! The only way I know to deal with it is to drink lots of ice cold Coke ( I know, unhealthy) and listen to Gymnopedie no.1, as it always reminds me of a breezy and yes sometimes, a rainy day. I like rain, I mean an honest to goodness rain that is, not a typhoon or a hurricane! Unlike most people who are always looking forward to summer vacations,me, I'm just dreading the terrible heat. Well, after typhoon "Ondoy", all of us were left devastated and traumatized! Nowadays, a heavy down pour that lasts more than 20 minutes is enough to scare shit in most of us. Especially for us folks who live here in Marikina City.
Enough stalling. I got my new Nokia X3 about a week ago. I have been a post-paid subscriber of Globe for more than two years so I could upgrade my plan. The thing is, I have to agree to a new subscription for me to get a free handset. My eyes were actually set on the Samsung i5700, which is somewhat like an iphone. It's one of them smart phones/PDAs that you see rich people flaunting all time even while crossing the street! So, I agreed to a new subscription to get a new mobile phone, they checked my credentials, my credit limit was increased to I don't know how much exactly to be honest...and voila! a new cell phone for me! My sister and I just agreed to share in the expenses, which I really didn't mind, after all she had to pay in advance for the phone's plan, he he.

I was looking at it, and I knew it kinda looked familiar. It's not a brand new model but it feels that I have seen some one using the same phone. Then I realized that it's actually what we are using/sharing at the office right now to make long distance calls to hotels overseas, since the line is much clearer than Skype. I was soo disappointed. However, after a couple of days playing with it, I started to appreciate it more. Specially when I finally figured out how to download mp3's from the internet. I do not take a lot of pictures of myself though since I'm quite bashful in front of the camera. I hate it when I have to have my mugshot taken. If you look at all my ID' s, I always have this haggard look no matter how hard I try to smile and look perky, I still have this awkward and tired look on my face! I'm just not that photogenic I guess.

I noticed that Facebook and YouTube applications are readily available on the phone. Unfortunately, I'm unable to access these sites. I will have to blame my service provider, Globe Telecoms for this. There must be something wrong with the phone's Settings which I will check later this evening to avoid long queues. Since I do not chat a lot and couldn't care less for IMs but I was very much pleased to know that I could check my emails both for Yahoo! and Gmail on the Nokia X3.

What's on my play list? Not much, I have been listening to Lifehouse and since yesterday, it was all "Wait for me" by Hall and Oats and Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now". Why these songs you might ask? I dunno,I guess when I heard them I am only reminded by one person;)
