Then I bought an mp3 player and bring it to almost anywhere with me; another pocket filled. Usually, I put in my keys along with the mp3 player on the same side of my pant.<\/p>\n<p>I wore a pant with three pockets yesterday. My wallet made the third pocket full.<\/p>\n<p>And then I bought a cell phone. Never really wanted it nor needed it until I moved to an apartment 14 floors scaling up the charming blue May sky that was plagued with December cloud and wind just a few days earlier. The apartment has everything but a phone. So, I figured, I needed a phone. Well, my friend had some influence in that decision but that&#8217;s not the point.<\/p>\n<p>When I received the phone from the sales representative, I found something odd was happening &#8211; I was out of pockets! It might be just a problem of the uglier sex; I don&#8217;t know about the fairer one. I don&#8217;t think girls have pockets at all, all the time; or at most maybe just two pockets, most of the time. No pocket. It must be sucked to be a girl-wearing-dress. Boy, it&#8217;s hard to not to digress.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, moments after that awkward moment, I realized that I had with me too many gadgets. I usually bring a couple electronics with me and in the future, I would probably carry more along &#8211; laptop, PDA, crab, crap &#8211; all the stuff that I plan to purchase soon. Hence, this crisis of the pockets hits hard on me.<\/p>\n<p>Why this is a crisis?<\/p>\n<p>Imagine this &#8211; increasing demand for pockets with a constant supply of it. This could only mean one thing &#8211; shortage of pockets! I should be paying for more pockets. Heck, I should kill for more pockets!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve come to one conclusion &#8211; I need cargo pants and a small bag for future cool gadgets. Pant with three pockets is obsolete. Demanding to wear a three-pocket pant in the light of increasing number of fun stuff is bad. Actually, it&#8217;s not too bad stuffing all in that three pockets. It is uncomfortable nevertheless.<\/p>\n<p>I need a pocket subsidy to finance my more-pocket plan. But of course, there is no such thing as a pocket subsidy, or is it? If there is, I should well damn take it. If those people back in Malaysia can have their oil subsidy, I want my pocket subsidy too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a person that always carries a camera with me; that one pocket filled.
