        <description><![CDATA[I lost two Motorola (摩托罗拉) cell phones before, 
and I have an inexpensive Nokia (诺基亚) now. 
If I should lose it, I would buy a cheap 小灵通.

        <description><![CDATA[Hi. I have a frivolous question here for hitokiri, chillosk, artkho and other Filipino CPOD members: Is "texting" an official national sport in the Philippines yet? I'm frequently blown away by how much Pinoys and Pinays (especially those living overseas in countries like Singapore) depend on texting. 

I remember being told once told that the Filipino definition of a "reasonably good texter" is: Somebody who is capable of texting "blind" on two different cellphones (one in each pocket, or otherwise under the desk) simulaneously, whilst participating in a meeting/ presentation at work and not skipping a single beat.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Hi auntie68,

I hear that some abacus virtuosos in Japan use two abacuses simultaneously, of course, one with left hand and another right hand. I play the piano a little, just like a fat dog walking on a keyboard, but at least I use both hands at the same time! But I still can’t easily believe such a "reasonably good texter." Young guys are really awesome!
