I used to start my mornings by preparing coffee to jumpstart my day. Now, my hand grabs the phone first thing I open my eyes. I switch off or snooze the alarm, check my messages I received while asleep, log in to WhatsApp for a quick morning chat with the gang then I jump into the shower.

I am fascinated with my gadget. Imagine with this pocket size which is a tad smaller than my palm, it  gives multi-functional commands which make connecting with people easy and fast– all with a tap of my fingers.  Literally, my phone is more like an extension my hands.

The evolution of “dial-a-number” to “press-the-digits” as far as getting connected is concerned, has grown from making a mere phone call. The mobile phones nowadays have become smarter and it also elevated the word “connect”.  It made human communication easier, faster, and more fun thus emotional bonds are firm and static. Aside from the usual voice call, I use my mobile phone for my Facebook status updates, tweeting my thoughts, watch videos, upload, tag and share photos.  My contacts are not merely list of digits but persons whom I build memories with, share my thoughts and commune in my journey.  With the advent of smart phones there is absolutely no excuse to be alone and isolated.

And now, I am waiting for my phone to function as a hair dryer or a bread toaster. Well for now, we can always recharge and connect for another unforgettable experience well worth your Facebook album and trending hash tag Twitter topic. Read on for this month’s issue and make your last hurrah for this summer the most ultimate moment to remember!
