Monday Weekend Recap: Jeremiah's and Jessica's Birthday

Hey guys! Sorry that I didn't update this on Monday. I should have but I was extremely busy. First of all, Friday was a blur. My husband worked on Friday and after he got out of work I picked him up and picked up some resume's and applications so I could apply and turn them in at the City of Hurst. So that was exciting. Then we went to Grand Buffet for Joshs sister Jessica's 21st birthday! The food was pretty alright. It was pretty exciting.

The next day our roommate brought her child to us and we took her to my cousin's son Jeremiah's 3rd bday. That was A LOT of fun! We had shish-ka-bobs, sausages, burgers and pasta salad! It was all really yummy. The only thing that sucked was all the wind that went crazy when we were putting up the decorations. We had a good time, playing with the kids and eating. As always, we took thousands and thousands of pictures. It was so much fun seeing all the little kids playing. I missed my cousins and stuff so it was a good thing to see them again. The best thing about that day I think was when Alexcia was literally chasing her shadow all around the park! It was so funny!

They played at the park which was so huge and fun! There were swings and see-saw's and a huge wooden complex that was really cool too. We played with the kids and watched them slide down the slides and the joy of seeing them was just a very good feeling.

My cousin pulled out a blanket thing we laid down and talked and watched the kids run around. They played pin the horn on the dinosaur because Jeremiah LOVES dinosaurs and they were just so happy!

After that, we just went home and Maria picked up her child and we went back to my cousins house just to talk a little and then went back home.

Sunday we took my cousin to the church that we like in Arlington. I love that church, it's so fun and everyone is so welcoming and filipino but there was way more people there than when we went last time. It was crazy. It was kinda awkward because that day they were talking about Missions and Missionaries and Evangelism and we don't really like that. We like coming to church to hear about the word of God but we don't like to preach it ourselves or talk to others about it. Sure, I can say, I'm a believer but I don't want to be labelled a Catholic, Pentecostal or anything like that. I am a Christian, I do believe in God but in a general sense.

I'll get into it more later in a different post.

After that, we went home and ate a little and then we went to the Fort Worth Nature and went hiking for a little bit, just to check out the animals and get a little exercising done whilst enjoying the nice spring heat. =]. And that was my weekend!

THE SIDEKICK 4G IN THE WILD!!! YES!!!!

Okay, so if you know me, you know that I love the Sidekick brand. I have had every single Sidekick there ever was at a point in my life, but since the whole fiasco with the outage and what not, I have moved on especially since it died in 2009. So sad. =[. I had my eyes fixated on the HD2 which is the phone that I had for the longest time because it was just such an amazing phone. I WAS gonna try to get it back but now that this amazing awesome fantastical news has been out, I have changed my gaze! I am now presenting the Sidekick 4G! The picture and info is from TmoNews.Com and they are the best at keeping up the TMobile official and unofficial news to everyone!



So as you can see, it has pretty much the same build as the LX 09 which I thought was a pretty decent phone. It says thats it's It has a front facing camera, which I LOVE, and is gonna be sporting Android 2.2.1. I am very anxious to see how Android is gonna be on a Sidekick. Especially since the Sidekick is NOT touchscreen, I wanna see how it's gonna factor into this new phone. Is the Sidekick gonna GET a touchscreen or not? How are we gonna move apps to the home screen from the apps window? Hmmm we shall see.

Things I'm hoping for:

1. Swivel, which I doubt, it looks like a slider which I'm fine with since I had the Sidekick Slide for the longest time when I did have a Sidekick.

2. 4" screen. Which also I doubt, just because it doesn't look like it would and it would be freaking huge if it did. The side buttons really take up a lot of space around the screen so I wanna see how it's gonna be. 3.7" is okay with me as long as it's SUPER AMOLED so I can read easily!

3. Protruding buttons. The thing I love the most about the Sidekick, which I'm sure everyone else does as well is the keyboard. 5 rows of QWERTY goodness! It looks like some of the buttons are switched around and the space bar is a little smaller than normal. What I really want is the buttons to be more out. I didn't like the SK Slides plastic buttons that were kinda indented, ickkk. Didn't help my texting at all! The SK 3's buttons were the best!



4. Flash. It doesn't look like in these pictures that the Sidekick is gonna have flash, which is kinda disappointing, I loved flash on the sidekicks. It helps a lot. I wish that it would have it.

5. 8MP Camera and 1.2MP front facing with 720p video recording. My life would be complete!!!! But I doubt that it would have this. =/.

6. Long lasting battery. When I had my LX, it had the longest battery ever. Not as much as the Blackberry but I could easily last 2 days on a single charge with all the texting, IMing and browsing I did, it was quite the trooper.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the Sidekick that I was really wishing for, but it's a good start! I would definitely still get this phone just because it would feel amazing to have the Sidekick with Android on it.

Another thing, I was looking at some comments and there was some really good points about it. This phone is directed mostly to teenagers and that demographic. But looking at how it has Android and what not, you can make it more of a business type phone. So I'm also hoping for a Dual Core Processor since it IS running Android, don't you think?

Also, it doesn't have a name. Would it just be the Sidekick 4G? Or have a name like the Gekko, LX, 3, Slide, whatever. Usually they have names. They usually have around 2 or 3 different devices one that's the low -end cheaper (iD, Gekko) that the younger people could get and then the high end version as well (LX, LX 09) so hopefully there will be one or two devices that we can choose from!

Gah! This was such a long post, LOL. I didn't imagine it to be this long but tell me what you guys think about it! I personally cannot wait for it to come out!
