INSTAGRAM-less

i have to admit something. i dont own an instagram account. picture-sociability: a big fat zer0.

a while ago, a few friends and i were just discussing on whatsapp (YES I HAVE WHATSAPP, tyvm) group chat about the entire notion against the cult and excessive usage of instagram. for those of you who dont know, i dont own an iphone or samsung or htc and have absolutely zero experience with appstore/ googleplay /androidOS whatsoever. im currently using a blackberry (taste best with froyo), push-email function and BBM are my personal favourites because they dont load emails / stall whatsapp chats like how non-blackberries do. contrary to my personal preference, nasdaq does not seem very much to believe in this fruit as RIMM is at an all-time low stock price. im sorry if you are an investor, im just a user. thus far, my blackberry and ex-blackberries have done me good for the past 4 years even though my bbm contact list seems to be shrinking on a daily basis.

and back to the instagram app with which users can follow/un-follow (not sure if this is solely just a tweeter twittle twitter-term) other users and their so-breathtaking-and-awesome peektures, the fact that that it allows users to beautify their photos so easily and quickly to the extent that memories of past experiences can be so damn-warped has resulted in a debate among the bb-unconverts and bb-advocates.

*M sends picture in whatsapp group*
M (bb-turn-nonbb user): even a pile of dirty laundry can look so classy with instagram
SU (iphone user): oh my brunch looks good everyday with the hefe filter
ST (bb-user): *started bashing instagram* $&%^Q#
me (bb-user): oh, bb has pixtrix, the equivalent of instagram with filters and stuff
Q (bb-user): it's not the same, it lacks the social aspect of it....
ST: %$&!!!?% *continues to troll instagram*

to sum it all up, yes i love my bb but definitely there are certain apps that the bb does not support and well, life could have been a lot easier for me if i had:-
- puddingcam / instagram / typic to create awesome pictures
- piggybank to save more $$ because im just using a mere notepad on bb + daily mental sums
- not having to answer the same question "why dont you switch to iphone or s3?" thrown in my way every now and then

P.S. be very jealous because i can type on my bb with my eyes closed ;)
