There are certain things in our life that we never noticed we have, until we lost them. (I’m not about husbands, btw). I remember how in 2006 when I travelled to New York for a week and discovered that my mobile won’t work over there and that to buy a new one while in NY didn’t make much sense and savings, I did feel a little bit scared for a moment…I was going solo, I didn’t have any means of communication on me, what if I’d get mugged, killed, sick, whatever…it wasn’t that I envisaged all these things happening to me, and it wasn’t that I was going make a lot of calls every day just out of fancy to call and shout; “hey, I’m in New York!”…so I didn’t really need a mobile on my holidays…however, I remember how the fact that I cannot have it even if I’d want to, set me uneasy at that time… hmmm…why am I telling this now?...not sure…on Saturday I’ve lost my mobile and for those who change theirs every year or month or weekly, I have to confess this is my second mobile handset in the last…11 years! How’s that?! :-p well, I only use the phone for making and receiving calls, I figured, any basic model will do that for me, so it wasn’t any point to replace the thing for the same function. So I kind of used to my mobiles, I love them and I certainly will miss the last one, that was stolen from me at the shop this Saturday…However, I realised that together with my mobile phone I’ve lost all the contacts I had in it, messages I kept for sentimental reasons…now THAT is precious to me. I don’t have a legitimate excuse for not backing up telephone card – I was just careless, I guess…and I’m paying the price for that…the company will send me sim-card with the same number in few days time, but it will be an empty card…of course, many numbers can be easily restored, I know how to reach people in other ways…it’s just…you know that Murphy Law when you have that urge to do something exactly the moment when you haven’t got an opportunity to do it. Suddenly I feel the need to call and send messages…
Isn’t it sad that you can loose such a stupid tiny gadget as mobile phone and suddenly you are cut off from your world of people you care about… I don’t know, it feels almost as if I have to start making friends from scratch
