Walking Directory

I am a very sentimental person, a very attached one, too. I have my Nokia N70 phone for how many years now and it has served me well. It is still in a very good condition but because of the two phone networks in this country, I had to give it up and get my self a dual sim phone. It can hold both my Bmobile and Digicel sims which made it really handy. But I miss my Nokia so much. It is very user friendly. It can keep a lot of information specially with contacts. I find it very useful to store all the numbers of any person I meet - well, at least those who I think needs to be kept :) It holds for me all the birthdays, all memo's, all my favorite one-liners, the music and pics I like. My new Samsung phone is not as good as my Nokia N70, no choice, I copied all the contacts to it.

Yesterday, a friend asked for his number (he never called himself, that's why he's not familiar with it *giggles*). I gave him all his numbers - 2 mobiles, 1 office landline and 1 house landline. He laughed. I didn't realize, another person next to us was listening. He asked if I know a friend's number. I checked my phone, asked what he needs - 2 mobiles, 2 landlines, a fax and an email add. He then commented, "I heard right about you! You are a walking directory!"

I might sound or look funny to others but it is good to keep people's numbers. You'll never know when you're gonna need to make a call. You see, I met a policeman one time and I got his number after few minutes of us talking. When the rascals attacked us last year, he was the first person I rang. Not long, the patrol was already at the crime site; I was able to order a cake while travelling; Was able to call my bankers even overseas; was able to make hotel bookings when urgently needed. Technology has given us the facilities, make full use of them. I have a lot more to say but am on the phone right now, Lina is asking me for Mayette's or Glenn's numbers... :)
