Hoping & Waiting For An Upgrade

I’ve been meaning to upgrade my phone for a very long time. I currently have my now old Blackberry Curve 8320, which is not only obsolete but after a couple of really bad falls on hard solid tiles, it’s also a little wonky.

The Curve will still accept & make calls, send & receive sms and and the normal stuff. The track ball is wonky and doesn’t work properly. I had long back cancel my Blackberry internet services, save BBM & chat services until a couple of months ago. Another issue is that phone will occasionally not read the SIM card, although the same SIM will work find without any issue but on the Curve it has an issue once or twice a week. The only thing I can do at that time is to remove then battery back, remove the battery and reinsert the SIM after removing it.

This is both annoying and can let you miss out on calls that could be important & vital for you. At the moment I can’t afford any of the Blackberry phones and I don’t want to settle for anything else. Hopefully soon I can upgrade and get a nice BB from the Bold series – 9700, 9780, 9900 or 9930 or even a Torch. Ideally I would get a load of cash and be able to get upgrade to a Bold and also get a tablet, the Blackberry Playbook. I want the 7inch version of the tablet. It would be easier to use on the go. I know some of you scoff at RIM, especially iPhone lovers, because of the recent problems that the company has suffered, but they will bounce back to being even better.  But first my situation should improve.

My Cooking Or Lack Thereof

I wish I could cook. My cooking is highly limited to a few things. Some of my readers will remember my tryst with cooking veggie wraps – frying onions, tomatoes, carrots & green peppers in oil, putting them in ready made chappathies which I roll for my veggie wraps. I can make excellent omelets (I seem to prefer ducks eggs, with onions, tomatoes & peppers) and bulls-eyes (sunny side ups) and use them with instant noodles like a poor man’s version of a chop-suey!

And that’s about it! I make my veggie sandwiches or egg sandwiches, I pop popcorn or soups from packets and now there’s a new thing – instant masala or pepper oats. They taste ok and are cheap enough so a quick dinner option when you can’t be bothered to go out. Along with coffee or tea that’s about the extent of my “cooking”. I wish I could cook delicious veggie or meat dishes and I especially wish I could cook fish dishes – I love fish. It’s time to learn.
