JD's Musings Decomplexified

Shen Li Liang is the name of my second Nokia N73 Music Edition phone. The first one was Raven and he was stolen on April 2008. I'm really at ease with N73 so I decided to buy the same unit when Raven was taken away from me. Another thing, my budget then can't afford a Nokia N95 or Sony Ericsson W960, so, okay, N73 again. Cheaper, but still S60!

OK, why am I blogging about this not-so-important lame techy stuff? Haha. Got nothing else to do, that's why...

So going back, I love Shen Li Liang because of the apps I was able to install. I never did this with Raven. This addiction with Symbian S60 is just recent, actually.

Since I'm a nurse-trainee and I still don't have a stable stream of monthly income, I can't afford a nice, sleek PDA yet. Shen gives me an adequate amount of happiness to satisfy my tech cravings without asking wads of bread from Mama.


Here's Shen... Okay, yeah, that's my real name in there. I don't like posting my real name on the net but I had to show you Shen's "face".

Gosh. I love my theme.

Hehehe.

Pardon the nerd in me.

Panahon na para makialam.

Sapagkat...

Habang ako ay natutulog, may digmaang nagaganap sa Mindanao.

Habang ako ay namamasyal sa mall, may pamilyang lumilikas at naghahanap ng mas ligtas na tirahan.

Habang ako ay nakikipagkwentuhan sa mga kaibigan, ang pamahalaan ay gumagawa ng mga desisyon at kasunduang pangkapayapaan, na minsan ay tama ngunit minsan naman ay mali sa mata ng sambayanan at giit ng marami ay labag sa konstitusyon.

Habang ako ay nagbababad sa MP3, may nagaganap na katiwalian sa kung saan.

Habang ako ay nanonood ng TV, may ilang pinuno ang nagsusumikap na ilagay sa wasto ang mga adhikain ng gobyerno.

Habang ako ay nag-iisip ng susunod kong papanooring pelikula, may ilang Pilipino ang nagsisikap na maghanapbuhay ng tama upang maitaguyod ang pamilya.

May namamatay at nasusugatang Pilipino araw araw dahil sa digmaan.

May batang nawawalan ng tatay o nanay.

May batang hindi na makapag-aral.

May isang sibilyan na napipilitang gumamit ng armas upang protektahan ang sarili at mga mahal sa buhay.

Naglalaban ang mga may iba't ibang paniniwala at prinsipyo. Nagpakilalang "Muslim" ang isang grupo. Sabi naman ng isang pangkat ay "Kristiyano" raw sila. Ang isa pang armadong grupo ay nagpakilalang "tagaprotekta" lamang ng mamamayan. At nariyan pa ang hukbong sandatahan ng Pilipinas.

Kaya panahon na para makialam ako.

Hindi. Hindi ako sasali sa mga pag-aaklas at welga.

Hindi ko rin naisip na tumakbo sa pulitika.

Makikialam ako... Pero hindi sa paraang naiisip niyo.
