   Laira’s first cellphone  

October 6th, 2011 at 9:01 pm | Comment?

This post brought to you by TracFone. All opinions are 100% mine.

Naral and I are saving up tight to buy Laira her very first Tracfone.

I know, I know… everybody says it’s way too early for her to own a cellphone, too young to even learn to count or read numbers and letters. Wow. Well, Laira is a different kid: she’s smart, intelligent, a little prodigy. She can read and write a few letters and numbers already. Of course she’s still too young to use mobile devices alone, but what are her parents for then?

And why a TracFone then?

You bet. So many features and a safe environment; a low price and no activation fees; $119/year and 800 minutes; unlimited calls and text messages. Naral and I have come to agree on the fact TracFone is an optimal choice for a kids phone. Samsung, Motorola and Nokia are more grown-up styled.

And then, Tracfone and its wonderfully cheap plans are so popular among US customers. That’s a plus to me.

I mean, just see what Real TracFone customers say about TracFone. I feel completely safe to let Laira use one.

Questions:

Do you allow your kids to own a cellphone?

If yes, what cellphone brand do you feel more comfortable and safe with?

Nixon the unit watches! Oh my, I thought my brother-in-law had founded a design company at first! XD LOL.

But no, this Nixon is a watches design brand, very nice I must say. It’s a cute coincidence that it carries the same name as my bro Jazz’s mate though. Naral says we should tell Nixon just to see his face, but I don’t want to touch the subject on the phone… in person is better. Funnier. Ahah. Anyway, nixon 42-20 tide watches are neat, I like the style. I might get one for myself next time they have a sale. I got used on buying stuff I need online; sometimes online stores offer better discounts than local ones, and free shipping.

Now, switching subjects, I’ve had a chance to learn more about Naral’s Bajoran heritage.

The picture above represents Bajor’s planet-view geography and the localization of the principal cities. Naral’s mother is a native of the Paqu village, which is built on the river Glyrhond. The place is a rural area and it’s beautiful in its natural reserve, ancient buildings escaped from the Cardassian occupation and simple life. Much simpler, indeed, it was at the times of Naral’s mom’s childhood.

Two weeks ago, Naral and I spent some time with Laira at Jalanda, the most populated Bajoran city. We visited the Jalanda Forum, then we stopped to listen to a concert by Tor Jolan, notorious Bajoran musicist. Nothing too difficult for Naral’s conditions (she’s 3 months pregnant with our baby! Will tell you more about it ), but we stopped several times to rest at the park.

One thing I’m worried about: with the new baby, I’m afraid I’ll have to leave university. I got behind on my exams this year, you know… being a dad and a student is not that easy. Naral told me to keep trying and study if I want to, that I should never give up on my dreams, but I don’t know… We’ll see when the baby is born. If necessary, I’ll stop for a while and resume studying when he or she is older.

In the meantime, Naral’s dad found me a job at the family antiques shop. I’m not too much into antiques, but it’s a quiet job, it gives me enough tranquility to study and I can spend time with Laira and Naral all I want, since the shop is in Rakantha, on the other side of our house street.

Off I go to pick up Laira from her grandparents. Be back tomorrow or so.
