Iphone 4 Fright

7 Oct

My Iphone just gave me a fright!

I had a 2-hour meeting at the office which finished at 6PM.  Mind you, I was using my Iphone and texting my sister and the husband from time to time during the meeting.  Immediately after, when I was already at my workstation, I checked on my phone to see if I had new texts.

When I pressed the main button, nothing happened.  I thought that I just didn’t press it hard enough so I pressed on it again.  Still, nothing happened.  Then I thought I must have turned it off when I pressed the Power button to put the phone to sleep.  So I pressed the Power button, but the phone is still dead.

I started to feel nervous because I pressed the Power button a lot of times but it wouldn’t turn on.  I plugged it in the charger thinking that the battery might already be empty, but there’s no display of the battery charging.

When I got my Iphone, the Globe representative told me that Apple does not repair defective units, but usually replaces it.  As long as the receipt is kept and the unit is under warranty, there should be no problem in reporting defective units and requesting for replacement.

Although I am comforted by this, I still felt sad and nervous.  I already thought that my phone is already defective.  To think that my Iphone is only 11 days old –  and I also haven’t started paying for it! I called the husband to tell him what happened.  He told me that it would be okay since my phone is under warranty.

When I got home, I retried turning it on.  Lo and behold, the phone turned on! WTH?! I really didn’t know what happened! I just pressed the power button and it just turned on.  I was really confused.  But then again, I was also thankful that my Iphone is already ok.  I just hope that it won’t happen again.  Or if ever it will get busted, it would still be under warranty so I can still report it to Globe.  Whew! What a fright!

Higher Blue Belt

4 Oct

October 3, 2010 – Gian’s promotion test in Taekwondo.

Currently, Gian has the lower blue belt.  After the test, he’s already in higher blue belt.

I couldn’t help but be proud of my Gian while I watched him do the Foundation steps and Defense/Attack formation.  In no time, he would earn his black belt.
