Winter is here in full swing. Even if the temperature dances around, it’s not a sign of changing seasons, just a warmer kind of winter. Can you believe November is already slipping away? Yesterday, a friend at work casually said, ‘Shall we go ice fishing when winter fully kicks in?’ ๐ฃ
It’s already winter!
Go ice fishing now!
Of course, I’m not going. ๐
Every now and then, I get startled by spicy videos popping up on Instagram Reels. ๐ถ๏ธ But I discovered you can tweak the settings to control how often sensitive content is curated. Following the instructions, I found a menu for filtering the intensity of such content! And not just ‘See Less,’ but there’s ‘See More’ too? ๐ค Well, just gotta be careful while watching.
Lately, I haven’t been upgrading my phone as often. The only noticeable change is a slight camera upgrade. Plus, I find myself doing less on my phone. Just some web browsing, YouTube, or music. Messaging or transferring money? Even a five-year-old phone can handle it effortlessly. The CPU tech has advanced incredibly each year. ๐ฑ
But after a recent car accident, I’ve been lost in thought. The iPhone 15 was out, and I almost met my end with a 13! ๐จ The day after the accident, I ordered the iPhone right away. ๐ป
Yet, moving everything over felt like such a chore, so it just sat on my desk all week. When the weekend arrived, I finally mustered the courage to start transferring, but it took way longer than expected. It was tedious. Financial apps needed re-authentication. Even Woori Bank demanded the security card number. Good grief, a security card? Those are for launching nukes, not this! ๐ฃ Password manager data had to be reconnected to Dropbox. But to log in to Dropbox, I needed info from the password manager. What a mess, seriously! ๐ฉ
Around 3 AM, I had an epiphany… Why am I even doing this? Life won’t change just because I switched phones. I’ve attended many funerals, but never heard anyone say, ‘Luckily, Grandpa had a new phone at the end.’ Why would anyone discuss the deceased’s phone? Conversations like, ‘Oh dear, they should’ve upgraded their phone,’ are absurd at such moments. ๐
In hindsight, I wasn’t buying it to impress anyone. It was purely for my own satisfaction. But losing sleep and stressing for over three hours to enjoy the moment when I die? Is it worth it? What if at the dawn of death, I regret it? Like, ‘Oh no, should’ve deleted those videos.’ (Not that I have any!) ๐ฑ
Anyway, that’s how I endured the agony and finally completed the transfer.
The weekend is slipping by at lightning speed. โก
