Quantum Leap

I finally got my new phone. Sony G700 business edition. I finally managed to defeat the demon of procrastination.

During BMT, I told myself. Heck, after I suffer through the hellish field camp I'm going to spoil myself with a new phone. (which I thought would be Nokia E51, c'mon NSFs do not have a wide spectrum of choices which includes iphone or any other phone with an eye at it's back cover that goes snap).

I didn't.

Then I told myself. Once I pass out from tekong. I'm going to get a new phone. A whole block leave of 10 days could not defeat the demon of procrastination.

Then I finally got into unit. I told myself, after my combat engineer course I'm going to get that phone, like finally. Nope, I still didn't.

Milestone after milestone. I told myself after jeep course I was going to get but i laughed it off like immediately because I knew I wouldn't.

Then finally, the coup de grace came when one day when I was making a seemingly innocent call. My phone actually blacked out. I thought it was one of the tricks my phone used to play on me when it was unhappy about me over smsing throughout the night or lack of 7 hours of uninterrupted rest of charging breaks, but no. I just lay there, blacked out. No pun intended.
So I took out the battery, put it in again. Repeat and rinse, but to no avail.

It was a fruitless attempt I swear I couldn't find an apple nor an orange to save the day.

After yelling 'never say die', then repeating the "take out battery, put it in, on phone". Finally it works. Sometimes. Keyword is sometimes. Then sometimes as I'm happily typing good night and sending to my buddy sleeping one bed away my phone blacks out. Oh wow. How wonderful.

So it was finally time to whisper RIP to my red nokia phone with worn out keypads. Thanks for being a wonderful friend, through BMT. But now I have my stronger better faster Sony G700. Omgosh, I feel so mean. (even to a phone!).

Had a superbly slackish week last week in camp. So relaxing! Oh well, survey course begins next week!
