iPhone Story

So I haven't been using my laptop lately since I've been to occupied with my new iPhone. I Twitter, Facebook, and check my mail through my iPhone. I also go on Y!M and Skype on it. It's new so it has all my attention. 

September 7, 2010 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHIPPY! My uncle Boyet and auntie Iris arrived. They checked in at Hilton Hotel, but they dropped by our place after they checked-in. They came to deliver my iPhone given to me by my other uncle and aunt. This iPhone's a hand-me-down from my aunt, but I don't care- not even a bit. In fact, it's more beautiful that way. It was a generous gift. :)

My sister got her iPhone a few months ago; it was my parents' graduation gift to her. I wanted one too, but it was just too expensive to buy another one. And not only is it impractical, let's face it- I don't NEED it. But yes, I want it. 

Now that I have one, I'm looking forward to customizing it and buying it a screen guard and accessorizing it; of course that would require spending money that I don't have. So I'll have to save for what's necessary- a screen guard. And all the rest I'll have to do without for the time being. I do have a case for my iPhone, it came with the iPhone already. Elwin liked it since he said it looked like a grenade. 

September 11, my parents went with me at Robinsons Cybergate to meet up with a guy I found through iStorya.net. I wanted to jailbreak my iPhone, but as my uncle warned me, this iPhone's version is updated and as of the moment, it will be hard to jailbreak. I'll contact him again next week to check if he can do the job by then.

I love how iPhone is a mobile phone, how I can store and play my music, how I can download free applications to occupy me in my free time, and how it is WiFi capable. :)

So here's the iPhone I've been so occupied with:

pages and pages of free apps

So right now I'm using it like an iTouch with camera since I can't use my SIM on it yet. I'm excited to jailbreak it. I'm also happy Elwin gets to play with the iPhone with the apps he chose to download. :) 


My iPhone is nameless, I wasn't sure if I should name it. Sometimes it just seems tacky to me- naming gadgets, but if I find the right name, I just might name it. Any suggestions? Elwin thinks I should give it a name. My laptop, I only call lappy, and it really isn't a name. The camera my uncle (the same uncle who gave me this iPhone) gave me, I call monkey since I placed a Frank monkey sticker on it. I think its the only gadget I've ever named, and it doesn't strike me as tacky. 


Thankful.
