i was supposed to write a review about my recently purchased nokia e71 to let everyone know it fared compared to the previous mobile phones i’ve owned, but i guess that’ll have to wait for another day.  i know i promised some people in posting that review but please do bear waiting for a little bit longer.

a major change is going to happen here at home.  to be more specific, my mom and my younger sister will be leaving for the US this coming saturday.  yep, it’s my kid sister’s turn to try it out on the other side of the world, career-wise.  though my mom has always been wanting to go back there, this is a big step for my kid sis.  she filed a month-long leave from her work with uncertainty as to whether she’ll come back or not.  though she’ll still go to work up until the end of the month.  both of them have already started packing their things.  as to where they’ll stay, well, they have plenty of options.  we have lots of relatives and friends there, specifically in the west coast area of california so they won’t have any difficulty settling in.  my mom will be doing some baby-sitting duties like she did before, and as for my sister, well, she’s a big girl now, and i wish her nothing but the best.  it’ll be awfully different here now that it’s just me and my brother at home.  but, we’ll manage as always.  it’s just kinda sad that little sis isn’t around when you’re used to spending every day being with her.

i just wanted to share that feeling with the world.  it’s kinda sad, but at the same time, i’m very happy for both of them.  it’s hard to believe that we only have one week left to be a solid family.  but, as they say, always look at the brighter side of things.

again, my apologies for not posting my e71 review yet.  but to give a generalization, it’s a good phone to use.  more details on the review.  here’s wishing everyone a good week ahead.
