its complicated

after a year and a half, the handle of my 500ml mug broke. i dont know what i will do with it. i mean, im still going to use it but what i dont know is whether im going to replace it. it's only the handle that broke off, i can still use it. problem is, its a 500ml mug and without the handle, its just not the same.

why am i making a fuss out of it? well, im the type who gets attached to some objects. like this mug for instance, its the only drinking container i use at home (for more than a year already, i think i started using it on november 2005). as long as that mug is available, i wont use anything else. and i dont allow anyone else to use it either. it just broke a few minutes ago and here i am blogging about it already as if something tragic happened. that's how attached i get to some objects. like my current cellphone (nokia 3660). the very first thing i look for when i wake up is my cellphone. i always it keep it within hearing distance wherever i go. i also found out that ive grown fond of my digicam. i wouldnt have realized it if not for my friend who borrowed it. only then did i find out that i easily missed my digicam. im also attached to my black jansport backpack (which i always carry around if possible), black "eccentric" cap (which i no longer use but still irreplaceable since i dont like my other caps as much), my first cellphone (nokia 3210 which almost got stolen but for some reason, i was able to retain possession), my green philips earphones (which i had since 2nd year highschool), my blue philips headphones (i think i had this one since 3rd year college), my mp3 player (which i frequently use recently), my tigger pencil case (which i last used back in high school for drafting class), my black pearl beads necklace (the one sold in stalls in baguio which i wear during summer days), my rosary (got this when i was in grade six which i no longer carry with me since i accidentally broke its plastic case when i was in 3rd year high school), my swiss army knife and leatherman micra (which i carry with me, 90% of the time i go out of the house), my bicycle deck of playing cards (already worn out, that's why i use a Cathay pacific deck of cards), my 50 First Dates OST (which i dont use as often since i made my own compilation to make a more complete soundtrack), my Guess Waterpro wristwatch (the longest wristwatch ive ever used - 8 years!), and my black and silver Parker pens (the silver one's a bit broken already, i dropped it on graduation day on 2004 but it's still useable). these are the items i won't throw away and i would be really affected if it breaks or worse, if i lose it.
