Such is life...

Man... my luck with smartphones seems to be getting from bad to worse these days. Barely 4 months after purchasing a new one since my previous one took a dive into a washing machine (literally), this one suddenly stops working out of nowhere and generally had to be fixed and wiped off AGAIN, taking with it all of the precious pictures that I've acquired recently. And not learning from my previous experiences and probably underestimating that it will happen again this soon, I stupidly did not do a back up of sorts. Yup, no one else to blame for that one but myself 😔

It bugs the hell out of me that I have some really good materials in that phone (particularly supposed posts on my recent trip to Sandakan, a place that I rarely go to and won't again for maybe a couple more years) but such is life. So like before, I'll probably will be in quiet mode for a while until everything is sorted out. And since I'm back at using my puny spare smartphone, you'll probably see lesser quality photos in several of my future posts (if any). Until then.. 🥲🥲
