What is with me and losing phones? I lost a total of 4 phones in a year's time (or even less, can't keep up anymore). It's either I'm carrying too many things, it slips out of my bag or pocket in the cab or was too drunk and it falls when I fall haha! A friend suggested I tie them around my neck next time but I think my solutions are better:

1) bring the nanny with me so she can help me carry my things,
2) ask hubby to buy a car so if it slips out, i can get it back,
3) never drink (tequila) anymore and just settle for johnny!

Because, I was really pissed off (and broke), I decided to get the cheapest phone I can get my hands on. Forget the camera function, chat, games, etc. I just wanted a phone where I can call and SMS. I think Nokia and Sony Ericcson should come up with disposable phones for people like me!

I was pretty okay with my basic, unpretentious phone until I read Time's article on iPhone applications for new moms. 3 (the Globe or Smart of Hong Kong) is offering me a free iPhone since I am already a ViP cause of my expensive phone bills during my homesick days and of course, now, they are encouraging me to spend more even more with a new iPhone. Now, I am tempted!

Can you believe what these new iPhone applications can do?

Say goodbye to Baby Einstein, just get Toddlercards. These do not fold or tear.


In case you are tired of humming or baby is sick of the music on her mobile, play aSleep on your iPhone for new tunes.


I'm not sure about this calorie counter, Lose It! I wonder how many times will I enter cupcakes in a week.


Recipes are great from Big Oven, but better if I pass them on to hubby or nanny who can cook better than me.


Umm, I am done with breastfeeding and so my breasts are gone too. Nursing Tracker is a great application for moms who are still at it.


Games for toddlers on my phone? Hmm, I'm scared she might throw my phone when she is done with it (like she always does...) Get the Scribblebee or Bugsquash if you wanna see some insects squashed on your phone (duh,why would you want that?)


And of course, the BabyCam. My baby will definitely smile when she hears Mary had a little lamb being played when clicking. In case you want to take a photo of baby on a swing or running on the beach, you'll love the QuadCamera.


Should I give in? Hmm, I wonder how much my phone bill is after all of this! I might want to lose my phone again if it's too high.
