With Kris Kringles and Christmas shopping left and right, the marketing for the new iPhone 5 is flooding the market and the social media mainstream. Everyone wants to buy the new best thing.
So I didn’t.
I didn’t have the budget for it anyway, hee. peanutbutter♥ said I’m a hater. I’d like to pretend that I’m a patriot and that my primary reason in purchasing this is actually the love of all things local. But no, I’m just being practical and I’d rather spend those extra peso {If there are extra pesos} towards the upgrading of my camera.
But since I am in dire need of a new updated mobile phone, I had to give in and buy a new one. I originally planned to buy the MyPhone A898 Duo…but because there’s only a ₱500 difference with their latest, that’s what I bought — the MyPhone A919 Duo.
I bought this phone for ₱ 7,999. That’s an awfully cheap price for a device that’s sleek, fast and boasts a bigger screen.

Wow, that’s such a nice gift for yourself, Peachy! I love the back of the phone, with the Philippine map– not to mention that it has so many features!

Happy birthday Peach, that’s a very nice birthday present!
Phones are getting expensive and yet people are buying. I an not familiar with the phone and cheapest model in the Philippines but it seems that no matter how expensive the price are ,people are still buying even the most expensive brands and model. ₱ 7,999 is cheap but being a cheap me ,mahal pa rin sa akin yan ,haha, kuripot.
Thanks for sharing this one! This is the one I have been talking about and told my parents that I want to buy for them to replace their old ones… we talked about this MyPhone… oh dear! It looks so awesome and so sleek. They will love it! Love the phone. 🙂
