On Wednesday morning I woke up to find that it was raining outside which just makes you want to stay in bed and go back to sleep but unfortunately that can’t be done every time. Because of a tropical storm, I believe, that is currently hitting Nicaragua we are getting some rain down here in Costa Rica and it rained for two days straight…today I woke up to see that there are clear blue skies and it was sunny outside.

I took the photo above while waiting for the bus on Wednesday at around 7pm. I’ve been recently doing quite a bit of photography with my cellphone though mostly in black and white and I’m really loving the shots that I’ve gotten with the cellphone camera. They have not been retouched on Photoshop or anything just resized and watermarked

Here are my favorites:

Yesterday my cellphone had quite a day. On my way to work I went to get my phone to see what time it was since my watch decided that it didn’t want to move any further and the phone decided to fall into a puddle…the only puddle on the sidewalk it would fit and it has to fall there. I quickly pick up the phone and check to see if it still works but I saw that it said inactive SIM prior to turning off.

I dry the phone and also the water that went inside the phone which luckily didn’t touch the battery and then tried to power it on…the phone was working but a row of keys were lit all the time and also the LEDs on the back of the phone but it was working.

When I finally reach my desk I start trying to fix the phone and decide to do a Master Reset which resolved the issue with the lights and the fact that I was unable to get the phone recognized by the computer.

Before lunch I decided to do a firmware upgrade, since I had done a master reset earlier, so I proceed with the firmware upgrade. The firmware was downloaded successfully and after 4% that was uploaded to the phone the computer decides to lock up which caused me to panic. I took off the battery and attempted to power on the phone, after inserting the battery again of course, and it wouldn’t power up. Before calling it a day with the phone I attempted to do a firmware upgrade again and to my surprise the phone was still being recognized by the software and this time the upgrade went well and the phone is still alive.

The photo above and the one below were shot when I got back home.
