back to basics (smartphoneless for a few days) reminds me of down with love.... how, you say?

So guess what, yesterdays antics have lead me to, that is being one without my smart phone :S 

Unfortunately the screen has gone blank, and I now have to wait for my insurance to get it all sorted, but wait, not all is lost, since I have my good old LG phone (note the blatent sarcasm :|) (not even sure what model it is).... Just an old basic phone that I can use to call and text with (thats about as smart as it gets :( )!! I shouldn't complain though, as it'll end up happening again to me in the near or distant future (due to good ol friendly karma's :P)

So I was texting my friend (again without a touch tone phone, it can be slightly tedious, and there is way too much sound (more like what I'm hearing now as I type this out), and it reminds me of one of my all time favourite Taiwanese dramas; Down With Love.

It's in the first episode where Yang Guo (Ella Chen) is trying to call her sister (Yang Duo), but Yang Duo hangs up and texts her and hangs up as minutes are too expensive (:P sounds like Gujarati mentality, something I can relate to :P), and texts her. She's about to send her first text, and her sister has already sent her two in that, as if reading Yang Guo's mind  (the fact is, I wish my phone wasn't broken and unuseable, so I wouldn't have to text in such a way, as I feel like a tortoise when I'm texting just like Yang Guo, and that is by texting using an old non-touch phone #firstworldproblems :P)...

But I'm reminded by such a great dram, and glad I can always go back to watching such a beautiful story that is, Down With Love.
