5 things of my private life

I decided to keep up activity of writing 5 private things about me.
In fact, I have been infected with this by my friend Bug. :)
So my 5 things:

1. I was born in the village Orinin, Kamenets-Podolsky region. Actually, it was unusual birth because first part of my body that saw this world ....I feel shy :).... it wasn't my head, it was my ass :). I sorry mama that I forced you in such way. I'll be good son.
   
2. I have being loved some pretty girl two years (in school) but I was afraid to say it. I was miserable.
   
3. I hate to dig potatoes out. It was most frightful punishment for me in my childhood.
   
4. Best time i had it was time in dormitory. A lot of girls, beer and time.... Unfortunately time is expensive thing. The elder you are the less time you have. ;(
   
5. I understand life can be simple and interesting if you don't waste time.
   

I want to keep this tendency and commence it with Dima Pastovensky http://dpastov.blogspot.com/.

SGH-D880 (Duos) at last we have cell with two sim cards

Everybody in Ukraine have already known that Samsung Duos (SGH-D880) is being selling.


I'm eager to have such phone but ... always I have but :)

• How much does it cost? Some sites give approximately ~450$. However I had a quick look to price.ua - 999$. I'm really shocked :)
  
• How long battery will be alive? - 1200 мАч. If you have two sim cards then call duration will be doubled. I guess It'll be need to charge it every day. I'm too lazy.
• And the last question does it make sense to buy it? Definitely NO
