Lessons from a phone repair

Today I went to an android phone repair shop to bring my old S20FE back to life again. 

And behold, the repairman did not disappoint. Board level repair was made and battery replaced, now I got a more midrange phone for my daily needs. Which brings to today reflection points.

1. When you take care of things, they last. Sometimes, they take care of you too.

Yes, I am guilty of not taking good care of my gadgets, but I realized that it's much better to maintain and take care of things, than to repair or replace them once they're broken. Let's take the legendary example, your own body. Feeding it with junk food, skip on your exercise routine and not making sleep your priority, will eventually take its toll, especially once you're in your 40s. Thus folks, take care of the big 3, diet, exercise, and most of all, sleep. 

2. Don't be afraid to pay premium for excellent service. Pay peanuts, get monkey.

This phone repair job costs me a little extra than what I expected, but the service, the quality of parts, and the aftersales and warranty made up for the additional costs. Folks, if you have to go to a phone repair, weigh the pros and cons, and the cost versus value analysis before committing your hard-earned money. Check for ratings, and testimonials, and if they can provide a receipt. In the pasts, I've dealt with technicians who charge less and misdiagnose your device. It's better to go to the experts, and if you have warranty, use it, Por favor.

3. Be grateful for the blessing.

Timeless advice, that sometimes I still forget to implement in my life. How lucky are we to have smartphones, and 5G and fiber internet. To be able to blog and share our experiences in social media. Clean water, breathable air, food on the table, in fair health, with love of family, still alive and breathing. Everything is a blessing, if you look at it in positive lens.

Thank God for another day, and another blessing in the form of a repaired phone. Hopefully I can put it to good use, and pay the blessing forward.

Till next time, see you!

Restarting my blog again! Cheers for the new beginnings.

There is a kind of excitement in starting something... again I forget how many attempts I have in starting a blog in different platforms. But still in this day and age of tiktok, its a good thing to be able to express your feeling in writing (or typing) form. But I know starting is not the challenge but continually posting content, consistency will make or break this mini endeavor of mine. I plan on writing frequently in this platform as a way to download my thoughts into writing. Maybe most of them are personal, sometime are weird, but hopefully you'll find and relate to the lessons within. So please, wish me luck and spread the word. The Kirbs has landed once again in cyberspace. God Bless!

When in doubt, clean your room

There's a reason why cleanliness and orderliness are next to Godliness You can perform better when your environment is primed and ready for what you are about to do. Cleaning our own room seems like an ordeal at first, especially if not done regularly, but the end result is worth it. It's like a life hack, when you fix something as trivial as your room, you unlock the ability to fix small problems, in and out of your mind. Before writing this blog, I cleaned my room. I know it's been almost a week, but procrastination has gotten the better part of me. Now, no excuses, I just focused on one part of the room, sweeping the floors, rearranging the furniture, replacing bedcovers, making sure everything is its own place. It's a small victory but compounded can change the direction of your life. You can think better, you are proud the work you have done, and knowing that even though things will get messy, you have the ability to fix it again. Even in bad days, if you can do no...
