And so the much anticipated phone call from Globe Telecom happened yesterday!

As I was doing my usual assignment in my room, my phone just suddenly play Empire State of Mind which means that someone is calling me. I reached for it in my bag and checked out who is calling. Normally, the phone will speak out the caller’s name if the number is in my phone book but for some reasons, it just keeps on playing.

When the caller informed me that she was from Globe, my heart stops beating as I’m sure it has to do with my reservation/retention. I ruled out about my billing as I haven’t gotten my statement yet so the nerve of them reminding me to pay my monthly phone bill.

And I was right, my supposedly Christmas gift for myself, the one thing that I truly wishes to have last Christmas – the iPhone 3GS have finally arrived after 4 effin’ months!

Last December, the last time I called Globe to check on my reservation, I told myself that if the phone didn’t show up by December 31st, that means it is not meant for me. That is only sign I asked if I really have to get the phone, of course until an updated version will be launched. I never got the call from Globe.

As the representative is discussing on where to claim the phone, modes of payment, credit card offers, yaddi yadda yadda… I was actually in the state of doubt of my decision last December. Maybe I could reconsider that’s why I asked for a callback after an hour to think… to wake myself and convinced that this is the reality. This is it! But, do I really need it?

My wants and needs are rattling on my mind and I’m not sure if I have to let go or swipe out. I was just on my bed with my back laid down and thinking. Honestly, I can’t decide and I was like on that state until my phone rings again. It was her!

She asked me if I already made my decision, for some unknown reason I told her that I will be declining the offer. It was actually funny that I voiced out my disappointment that I needed the phone for Christmas and not the Lenten Season – may pagtatampo ba? hahaha She apologizes and gave the usual explanation.

After the conversation, I got this thinking that I made a grown up decision. I really don’t need a new phone this time. My precious E71 is very functional and if I was able to stand with my Nokia 7650 for decades and flaunt it in Singapore, Hongkong, China, Malaysia, Bangkok, Macau and Indonesia, then why can’t I do that to my E71? I know, an iPhone would complete my Mac family but there’s still some other time.

So for the mean time, I can dedicate this song to my supposedly iPhone 3GS 16GB Black…

I hope you’ll land into a good and fabulous owner.

Note that I was actually wishing of not to regret the decision I made as I was writing this… LOL
