MY TWO-CENTS...ON BLACKBERRY

In my opinion, I honestly CANNOT STAND blackberries! To some, a Blackberry is a high-end sexy phone. It can be translated as a modern miracle what with its quirky keypad, handiness and sleek-look. I have to admit that perhaps when the Blackberry was first released in 1999-there wasn't a huge following back then. However as years progressed, a huge cult following ensued-mostly by businessmen, rich teenagers and the Kardashians. Of course the hipster demographic has skewed more towards the Apple.Inc brand.

I'm not sure about the rest of the world but here in Botswana, Blacberries are quite cheap-at around P2000, whereas the widely hyped iPhone is priced at P5000. It was more I'm sure but my mum says differently. Anyway, I'm really not a fan of the excessive amount of buttons on these blasted contraptions. Why Blackberry saw fit to add a button for every letter and symbol known to man! I have only been using touchscreens since 2010 when my uncle in Boston sent me the 1st generation iPod Touch (or 'iTouch'). Hence saying that I am more comfortable from using a touchscreen and I actually forgot how to use a regular classic iPod! :P

With all this in mind, which is better-the Blackberry or the iPhone. It's a strong debate and its mostly an argument between the businessmen and the hipsters. My final two-cents...BLACKBERRIES SUCK AND APPLE RULES!!

'FIX YOU' - COLDPLAY

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/coldplay-lyrics/fix-you-lyrics.html ]
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

HIATUS...

I have to express my deepest apologies to all those of you who MIGHT have missed me. As you might not know-I am only 15 years old and had to endure a terrible loss this month-my best friend Aabilwe Modise passed away recently on the 4th of July 2012. She died from stomach cancer...

Aabi was a sweet, good-natured and gorgeous girl. She was always smiling and could make you swallow your pride with her vast amounts of knowledge. She was an avid reader and always had her nose stuck in a book. I remember the first day we met, we had an in-depth conversation about dissecting a frog...I knew that we would be friends forever.

Aabi LOVED singing and she the most beautiful lilting voice you ever heard! I recall singing 'Bad Romance' with her during Math-much to the displeasure of our peers. She wrote stories too! She had this little book where she would write down short introductions and prologues but she could never finish them.

Aabi was practically my sister-we were bonded at the hip. I felt a piece of my heart tear away when she died and it was the most painful thing that I could ever imagine. In memory of her, I will post the lyrics of 'Fix You' by Coldplay-her favorite band.

May her soul rest in peace...
