I just got a phone call from a Smart Communications agent and reminded me of my inquiry for the iPhone 4S.

I completely forgot all about registering for an inquiry on the price.

When I saw that Smart will also release the iPhone 4S in conjunction with their postpaid plans, I got excited. I wanted to get a postpaid plan for the longest time, I just don't know when is the right time.

When the iPhone 3GS was released, only Globe had the exclusive hold on it in the Philippines, so I ended up buying an open line one because I was skeptic as to getting a postpaid line with Globe because of all the negative comments I have heard from other people, friends & family. And getting a postpaid line means that I would have to be with them for 2 years.

I was like, they were complaining with signal loss and difficulty getting through, so why put myself in that same spot when I don't experience anything majorly bad (so far) from my existing telecommunications company?

So I waited.

I wanted an iPhone 4S, but not to the point that I wanted it so bad. I was waiting for the right time to purchase it.

So the call couldn't come any less of a perfect timing for me to get a postpaid line in my preferred telco, Smart.

I consider this a reward for waiting. The Lord knows I want it and I have waited for it and he's now giving it to me.

Yes, it may mean spending, but blessings doesn't necessarily mean that it's free. It may come in other sort of form, like a discount or a practical way to spend money.

So yeah, iPhone 4S, I'm ready for you. :">

The hustle bustle of the holidays

It's kinda easy to detect that the holidays are very near. Aside from the usual Christmas decors and lights on each houses, there's traffic during lean hours of the day, no parking spots in malls, sudden sale in boutiques. Yep, you name it, it's there.

For someone who is a little short on cash, I am now thinking what I could give to family that is practical and very useful. I am not the kind of person who gives just so I can say that I gave a gift. I want the gift to mean something to the recipient. My EQ in that department is just so low.

I have lots of perfect gift ideas. In my head. Yeah, I said "in my head" because I think about it but I don't have the means to buy it. And I don't have the time. Sad, but true.

Ironically, when I have the time, I don't have the money. When I have the money, I don't have the time. These two don't really go hand in hand in my life.

Most people tell me, it's okay, it's not about the gift, it's about the essence of Christmas, that your family is together and stuff. But believe me, you will feel bad for not even making an effort to go out and buy the first thing that you can get your hands on to give to friends & family. I know, I've been there. Especially if you're like earning and stuff.

But as I said, time & money don't go hand in hand. I don't have the time as I am in the office the whole day. I go to work in the South, and go home in the North. Strategic, huh?

This year, I'm going to make it different. I will make an effort to go out to the jungle that's called malls, bazaars, etc. to be able to get something for each people who is important to me. I think I owe it to them for being such blessings in my life.

Now, I just gotta make money and time work with me. :)

Merry Christmas everybody!
