My Phone History (part 2)

2010: Blackberry Curve 8900

I asked God who used my dad to buy me a Blackberry Curve 8900. Back then, the Blackberry was not at its peak yet in the Philippines. People who had Blackberry phones were rare. The Blackberry symbolized my corporate dreams and making it in the corporate ladder. Even that area of my life, I turned it over to God in 2010.

I donated this phone some time ago. Don't do what I did without seeking counsel by the way.

2012 - present: Blackberry Curve 8520

Just when I was so satisfied and content with a simpler Nokia phone, my dad blessed me with this one. I had mixed feelings about it since I did not ask for a phone, nor another Blackberry, but with acceptance, I've realized it was just what I needed.

By this time, the Blackberry has reached mainstream in the Philippines.

Apple on the other hand and Samsung are intensifying their share of the consumer's pocket. Some say the Blackberry is on its way out now.

Trends come and go. Success is unpredictable sometimes. Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys and NSYNC were once considered fashionable. Economies are up and sometimes they're down. We were indispensable once but suddenly that also changes. What is important is we build our lives on things that last. 

"What I mean, brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who ... use the things of the world, (should live) as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away." (1 Corinthians 7:29,31)

"And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever." (1 John 2:17)
