It was a love at first sight, an instant chemical reaction that I was never quite able to explain clearly. Maybe it is the slickness, or the multifunction, or just nothing at all. Anyway, the moment I saw it I knew I was gonna have it some day.
The some day same quite late though. It was after I broke my Panasonic babe that I finally took up the courage to ask daddy to buy for me. The feeling of owning it was as good as I would have expected. It took great photos, with radio reception, Bluetooth transfer, internet access, picture messages....I was in madly in love with it.
Never did my baby failed me. Not even when I dropped it from 3 stroies down the stairs. The functions were great. Not only does it gives instantaneously file transfer, it's probably one of the best time-killing machines with its radio reception and mini tennis game. Indeed, it sustained me through all the lonely sleepless nights and the long bus rides.
One year has passed. No longer it is the best model around. The keypads are getting loose. The sensitivity and the reaction time are not as fast anymore. Sometimes it'll even shut down on its own and ignore me all together. But never did I realize it has already become an indispensable part of my life. It wasn't the function, wasn't the look, wasn't the brand or anything else. It was merely the time we've spent together that binds me so strongly with it. The time wasn't long, but it was memorable, almost fatal.
And now? I am waiting for something to happen. I don't know how long the wait is gonna be, but I'll wait.
