excited

Because of my recent purchase, I decided to give up the mini and just go for the iphone. I know I wasn't so keen into getting one before but since my brother just got one and even Gabby uses it more often than I do (he's really such a techy kid!), I changed my mind. I've been wanting to get a new phone for quite some time already but Nokia's not coming out with anything I really like. Lec's been telling me to get an iphone as well eversince and when I asked him if I should get a mini or an iphone, he was all for the fone.

With nothing much to do (and it's my only free time since it's a holiday), I headed to Globe in SM to inquire about upgrading my current plan so I could get the one that comes with the iphone (i would have a cash out of P24K for a 16GB 3Gs). I don't want to change my number as much as possible so getting a new plan was my last resort. But unfortunately, the Globe guy said that it's not possible to upgrade my plan to the iphone one. Damn. He suggested trying to call their customer service to see if I'm qualified for a free iphone as a new loyalty reward. My current reward (P1,200 credits every month for 2 years) is about to end so why not give it a try.

And good thing I did coz I was informed that with my average monthly bill (which reached about P5k a month - thanks to roaming when I was onshore), I am qualified for a free iphone - 16GB or 32GB, my choice! Obviously, I got the 32GB one. Yey! So now, I'm just waiting for the unit to arrive. I dropped by the Globe business center in Town (they'll be the one to release the fone) to ask how long it will take, but they can't give an exact timeline but hopefully, it will be within the month. They'll just give me a call when it's there already. But what the heck, it's a free fone so it won't hurt to wait for a bit.

My brother and I passed by the Apple store next to look for a case for his fone and when I saw this, I knew I just had to get it (take note of the pink one!):

There were only 2 stocks left and if I wait 'til I actually get my fone, it might be long gone and I would sure regret it. It's actually a very good buy since the entire set was only P1800 (a single case costs about P800). So there. My iphone cases are patiently waiting for the actual fone to arrive. Low EQ talaga 'ko. Hahaha. I just hope I get the call soon! :)
