The Lost Of A Friend...

3 and a half years ago I met a good friend. I can still remember the day we met. I think we hit it off pretty good. Coz I remember saying, 'I like this'...

Let me tell you about this friend of mine. She isn't as pretty or as sleek. She isn't as brainy. But one thing she was good was keeping me company. She stood with me through thick and thin. There were problems at first but as in all relationships, there are always the good and bad. But we hung on. There were times that I can lose my temper at her, and there were times she was so trying...

She was quite big for someone her age, and compared to the other ladies...yeah she was bigger despite being small. But she can really do tricks. She has the wonderful ability to swing herself and make it look cool. I've learned to handle her as best as I could and if anybody were to see us together, we looked good.

Fast forward 3 years later...she's still with me. Lately she has been giving me problems...she would suddenly keep quiet. Sometimes she just doesn't respond to me as she usually does. It broke my heart at times but I kept on being strong. She always kept me 'entertained' at nights or when I'm bored. She would sing to me so many songs and lull me to sleep. A friend that never left me.

Until last Friday...

There was an accident. She almost drowned but I managed to save her. But falling into the water and being submerged for sometime did some damage. My heart sank. I never thought that could have happened to her. Why was I so careless?!! Why?!!

I managed to dry her, but the damage has been done. She could still talk to me. Sing for me. Respond to me. But the light from her has been diminished. She lost the ability to brighten up. The next day was the roughest days that I had to go through. Each time I looked at her, my heart was filled with sorrow. Memories swam into my mind and I don't know how I can live through this...

Problems started getting from bad to worst. She couldn't respond to me sometimes and it was heartbreaking. And I knew that it was time to let her go.

Her time has come and I know that to try to bring her back would be...devastating.

Last night I put her to sleep. I don't know wether it will be for good or temporary, but after 3 years she deserves the rest. She has been resilient and a trusted companion. She has been through thick and thin with me and alas it is time to say goodbye.

Goodbye my dear Sony Ericsson W550i. You were a true phone to begin with. Despite being one of the first generation walkman phones, to me you were the best. My memories with you shall always be with me.

Maybe one day, when I have the time and money...I'll fix you up.

Farewell for now...and I hope the Sony Ericsson W350 will live up to your excellence...
