The Wishlist: Apple USB Power Adaptor

Seriously, I did not know that the iPod charger already looked like this. Apple just keeps on doing it...and yes, doing it better. I love it!

As you know, music is very important to me. It's like food, something I take in everyday, though I'm not musically-inclined. I have the worst voice. I just enjoy listening to it, whatever genre it may be. I remember having a walkman back then just to listen to the radio and the cassettes! You're cool then if you had a lot. But...you're cooler if you have a discman! Hahaha! Being the gay boy that I am, I made sure that if I would ever have a discman, it would be colored...preferrably red or better yet, magenta. And yes I did, I have a magenta discman and it's still very much alive. The advent of mp3 most especially the player that would hold thousands of it, the iPod, was such a blessing to all the music lovers and even to the clueless.

I had my first iPod when I was in high school. I wanted it then because everyone had it, LOL. But that's when I learned that it is really something which you can call a "personal" gadget. Just like everyone else, I fell in love with my iPod Mini. My iPod was very much taken care of, it had every accessory then...a dock, extended wires (weird, I can't recall what you call it), remotes, cases, etc. etc. And of course, the charger. How would you use something without charging it? (Wow, what a long introduction to such a small accessory!) I had no idea why that iPod gave up on me, its battery got busted. I blamed the charger for it. Well it still works, but you have to plug it in. It wouldn't work on its own now, it's charger-dependent so somehow I was still thankful for the charger :( My iPod was replaced by an iPod Video given by mother dearest...More music add to that videos-on-the-go. Lovely! If you have one I'm pretty sure you know that viewing videos take up so much of the battery but what the heck, you can always connect it to your PC or use the adaptor. That's what I did, but this time it was the adaptor that gave up on me.

Since then, I don't risk watching videos when I'm not home because it might run out of battery. I have to charge my iPod using the PC and it's such a hassle. I still have to turn it on just to charge. I miss the comfort of having a charger that I can bring anywhere. I need one because I easily consume my iPod's battery so I hope I'll finally get one this year...or else I'm just gonna save up for it :(

But I know you'd give me one...especially now with it's ultracompact design, you would want me to say "Awww, how cute!" :) Hahaha!
