An End of An Era

On April 14, 2009 8:45 AM, I lost a friend that was dear to me.
It came as a shock to me because it was totally unexpected. The night before, we were enjoying a quiet evening together and by a mere rush of wind, he was faltering between consciousness and death. I tried many ways to stabilize his condition however, it only turned worse. By the light of the next day, I was expecting that he would be fine because we would go to the hospital to be checked. Unfortunately, the news came crashing down on us. The specialists for him have pulled out of the country. In fact, they have pulled out of Asia. Facing each other, we began to rationalize. Of course, there are many able replacements, more advanced; more capable but nothing…NOTHING can replace what he has given me. I was introduced to him in my freshman year and like all close relationships, this had a rocky beginning. We had a hard time agreeing on minor details, such as efficiency and organization but through months of spending together, we have a created a bond like no other. He was there during hard times. He was there on important occasions. He was even there through my relationships. He was always with me. And I can’t believe that it all comes to an end. As we stood there, we both smiled and hugged because we foresee (and hope), once the recession lifts, maybe there’d be a chance for a reunion and maybe even meet his family. But for now, even as this era has ended albeit abruptly, we need to move on. New buddy in tow, I trudge on. Knowing some day that we will be reunited. And we will be awesome yet again.

On April 14, My MotoRazrV2 has breathed its last breath because of the obvious flex malfunction (To those who aren’t familiar, the common problems regarding flip top phones is the mechanism between the screen and the phone. If the flex is malfunctioning, there would be no display on the screen.) And because of the fact that Motorola has already pulled out of Asia last December 15, 2008, there is no chance of fixing “him”. It would be pointless to buy another Razr phone again because IF it bites the dust as well, then no one can fix it. Hopefully, Motorola has announced that it would be back on 2010 so it will be a sweet reunion. Hehe. The Moto Razr has become a part of my identity that it would be weird for me to be not carrying one, hence the “emotional” storytelling. And that is all. Peace out.
