“There are 2 types of people,” someone said to me recently.
“What?” i asked
“The ones with Berrys, and the ones without  “
” “

The whole BlackBerry phenomena has been hitting my social circle real hard.

Those who have it,
are constantly singing praises of it and trying to get people to convert to using one (aka Goldfish, FaiTheMai, PassedOutBen)
I kid you not, i think Goldfish (he was the first to do so during a Levi’s shoot in Dec 08) spent a full 15 minutes showing me his BB in all its glory.
I can still remember he kept on showing me what it could do and enthusiastically going, “Look! You can do this! And this!”

I got the point, i really did.
And he did a pretty good job at selling all those USPs to me cos i never forgot them.

Then my father got one.
Then my aunt got one.
Then my brother.
Then FaiTheMai.
Then PassedOutBen.
Then DidiBuli.
Then ClaudiaOnCrack.
Then SmallSerena.

Then it seemed everyone else who loved being online,
and i started feeling left out…
COS I LOVE BEING ONLINE!

The worst was when FaiTheMai and POB got theirs.
They wouldn’t frigging get OFF it and pretty much got told off for being so immersed in it.
All the girls around them complained.
And they complained to me too, tho i would end the conversation with,
“Well… i was thinking of getting one too…”
“Really??” Their tones spoke as if i was about to join a cult.
“Yeah. I’m always twittering… and i’m always running around, or will be more very soon, so i can keep on checking my emails la!”
“Hmm yeah i guess it makes sense for you.”

See what i mean about the Ppl with Berrys Vs. Ppl without Berrys?

The non-Berry ppl have beef with those who do!

But i have to say, those two (Fai + Ben) are damn OTT with all their personal BlackBerry jokes la
-_-

I admit i put aside plans to buy one a month ago,
and even wrote it down in my Moleskine under Things To Do.
I even knew which package i was going to go for (Xpax) cos FaiTheMai and DidiBuli told me it’s the best.

And just last Wednesday…

I cradled my new Blackberry Curve 8520 in my hands

Just in time for my trip to Cebu too!
It was so easy to set up, i was afraid i wouldn’t be able to use it there,
but ’twas super easy,
and i managed to get my emails and twitter installed before taking off.

PassedOutBen said i was insulting its intelligence by putting twitter in first
-_-
I didn’t okay! I put my emails first! Hmph.

Anyway, i managed to Tweet things as and when i went around Cebu!
Like on the way in the taxi to Hilton Resort & Spa,
the pink drinks that greeted us there,
showing Kenny how he shoulda joined us,
visiting Fort San Pedro,
and how i liked peeing in the sea (with map attached ha ha!).

People were replying how gross it was to pee in the sea,
and i said how can nobody agree with me?
But i digress.

Point is, i had connection WHEREVER i was.

Earlier this afternoon back in KL,
i was a bit annoyed that the connection in my house had been down all day.
So i went to get a pedicure while msging on my Curve at the same time with FaiTheMai and POB.

“At last,” one of them msged, “We can have REAL conversations.”

If you’re interested in joining our cult,
Xpax is gonna launch the first prepaid Blackberry program.
It’s not launched YET but you can pre-register at xpax.com.my!
