I may sound melodramatic but I am deeply affected with the loss of my cellular phone.
N6170 had been with me since April 2005. It was given to me by my mom for my 18th birthday though I never really asked for it. I admit that I am a text addict just like most girls my age but I was contented with the 3350 phone. I never really wished of having my own MMS phone (it was a 'fad' during those days and everyone just had to have one) because I am afraid that it will be the cause of something bad.
It was April 24, 2005 when my mom told me she's giving me a reward for being a good daughter. I thought the debut was the reward and i thanked her. She said that there's another one then she handed me this box and waah.. a brand new cellular phone is waiting for me to be his boss!
I am happy with the phone though it had a built-in memory. I can only take a limited number of pictures and videos so I kept the memorable ones and never deleted it in any way.
N6170 had to leave me in January 12, 2006 when my mom went to England. She needed a triband phone and we ran out of time. We were not even able to get a roaming sim card so there.. Two cellular phones accompanied me: 3350 and 3310.
After nine months, a friend of my mom went back to the country for a short vacation. He handed me N6170 with a fractured back. Since I am really lazy to have it repaired, i had scotch tape all over the phone to avoid another damage. The phone has a sentimental value because of the following reasons:
My classmates were telling me to claim my new phone from a telecommunications company since there's a new phone for us every two years. My phone had bruises (some even wondered if a lady really owns that phone LOL), de-scotch tape, had some errors when you're trying to unlock the keypad and the phone's speaker is no longer working that i even had to use the headset just to hear that person from the other line.
In short, I really had to get a new phone!
But because of sentimental reasons, I chose to stick to my N6170.
Last Saturday, I became a victim of a certain dukot king and there… my N6170 is no longer with me =(
Some may find this post a corny one, but hey, you may revive the contacts, get a new sim card and have a brand new phone, but the remembrance of every event that was saved in that phone can never be replaced… It can never be replaced =(
Sorry to hear about your loss. the physical things we can readily replace, the memories that come with, those are priceless. I hope you get over it soon, things like these we cannot avoid.
Cheer up anak.
