Two posts in a day, yay! Well that's because it's a Sunday, which means another round of TSC posts. Also, it's cuddle weather here in Davao, which makes blogging very likely with a mug of hot drink hmm.

READING

Okay. The intro line might suggest it but no, this isn't a carefree sunday for me. I just finished summarizing a month's worth of lessons for two of my subjects and now I must read them again. I have them sitting beside me giving me time as I procrastinate and weigh the pros and cons of life. Haha

WRITING

This post. Well speaking of writing, I just remembered that I have a paper due tomorrow! Wow what. Anyway, see how blogging helps you with your studies?

LISTENING

Rihanna's Take a Bow with the rain outside as background music.

THINKING

About how the eff I'm going to finish all these shitload of school work when tomorrow's already Monday and I've done nothing productive. ugh

SMELLING

Still nothing. Everytime I write TSC posts my nose is either clogged or I have nothing to smell.

WISHING

The exams would just go away and stope threatening students' lives.

WEARING

An oversized white round-neck tee I got from a college seminar, and my comfy Nike shorts.

LOVING

My phone! More than ever! I'm never dropping you again! Haha I got new screen protectors for it too earlier today.

NEEDING

To study and be prepared for the exams. Also, I need money because I'm broke. Always broke. The only thing constant about me: being broke. Lol

WANTING

Can't decide what I want to write as my "want" right now. This happens when you have so many wants but can't decide which one you want most because all of them are equally unrealistic. aww sobs

FEELING

A little cold because of the weather. Also, my back hurts. :/

CLICKING

Through all these tabs when I only need to close them and focus. Can't help it I am currently watching Harry Potter online. :p

So that's it! How's your Sunday? :)

*The Sunday Currently is originally a link-up by Siddathornton, which I found through Wild-Spirit.*

About two weeks ago, during the day, when I was hurrying to get to school, the most unexpected and life ruining thing happened: my phone drowned in a dirty, stinking gutter. Ouch, I know. Here in the Philippines, dirty, stinking gutters are everywhere like a trend, but I never imagined me being so careless as to dropping an iPhone there one day. But I did. 

Anyway, as I was a little bit denial that my phone did decide to take a little dip (because I never saw it fell. I just felt something near my foot and an old lady behind me told me something dropped from me, probably my bag), I ran back inside the house to check the contents of my bag and to see if I left my phone somewhere. And yes, it wasn't there. I ran back outside, nervous that I did drop it. Inside my head I was all OMG MY FILES!!! MY SCHOOL FILES!!!! MY SELFIES!!!! Yep self, how very devastating.

I wasn't brave enough to dunk in my hands in search for my phone. I was a little pabebe but to my defense, the gutter was really dirty and my school uniform is all-white. Luckily, a street kid was kind enough to hear my silent pleas and sacrificed his hand for me. Of course I didn't ask him to do it, but he did it suddenly and I had no time to argue especially when he really got it. So with my hanky in my hands (bye hanky, you will be remembered) I took my phone and washed it first under faucet. Yes, another round of water therapy for my phone, very brilliant indeed! But like I said the gutter was terribly dirty so I just had to do it. Once I dried it in a towel (bye towel, you too will be remembered) I put it aside and searched for ways possible. The internet told me to shut it down immediately to stop more damage and should work fine if done properly. But I couldn't! The phone's going crazy as I lost some time being denial about the whole thing before actually saving it. Lol

Fast forward, after two days of "uncooked rice therapy", I brought my phone to a repair shop at the mall. I was never really a fan of repair shops. I always think they'll overcharge me and still not get the job done. But as a business student, of course I made sure that didn't happen. I negotiated the price as much as I can and being a student helped - the perks! Haha. After multiple trips to their shop I finally got it yesterday, with brand new battery and brand new LCD (both I checked and watched the process) for only Php 3,000! Talk about a good deal especially that I have a 5s gold 32gb worth 40K plus which hasn't been 2 years with me. One thing though, my finger print sensor won't function anymore. This is actually fine by me. Everything's intact and working, and my files are all present, so there's not much to complain.

Overall I am just happy to be using my phone again and that repair shops aren't bad at all! Sometimes you just need a little sales talk, negotiating *skillz*, and a facade that suggests "Nope repairman, don't try to trick me I'm watching you" so that you won't get fooled or overcharged. Though, I hope I never have to visit another one again because of a phone trying to swim. ;)
