Last week, I wasn’t able to meet a friend as planned because I didn’t get her message. A week before that, I had an unfortunate disagreement with another friend and it’s quite funny now, looking back,  how my cellular phone has a part in it.

I dropped my phone while charging and I suspect it affected the batteries or maybe more. I wasn’t receiving messages on time, or at all. I didn’t know that right after I dropped it, the phone stopped working. It has power but I wasn’t aware that I wasn’t sending  and receiving messages, let alone calls. I only realized that when I saw my outbox folder and I had these five or six messages I thought I sent for the day all in there. It didn’t fare much better the next days, and I was seriously panicking when one day it rejected my SIM card. I had to restart the phone and even remove and replace my SIM for a number of times before I made it work again. As I’m not planning to buy another phone, at least not for another 10 months until my contract with Smart expires, I can only hope to have back one of the old unlocked cell phones I used to keep at my place before my sister took them for herself and my brother. Better yet, I’d like to hope that my phone will start working well again.
