LOH Contest #132 - An Old School MP3 Player: Music is my Joy

Hi, Ladies of Hive Community! Another time to join this contest so I am excited to share with you what I have.

Since it is spring time it is time for me to be fit and healthy. I bought something that will bring joy to my fitness journey.

To answer today's topic:

Material things are not the most valuable thing in life, however, there are material things that bring joy to our days. Show us something unnecessary but makes you happy — it can be a simple toy or even a cup with a design that you love, and please tell us the story behind that object.

Two weeks ago, I was on my search for an MP3 player. Luckily, I found it on AliExpress for 10 Euros. I actually grabbed the chance right away.

Why buy an MP3 player when you have a phone?

Back when I was younger, I had a Walkman which I could buy cassette tapes and put inside to play the music. I used to have cassette tapes from Maroon 5 and Black Eyed Peas. Suddenly, it is getting high-tech that the iPod shuffles were such a thing. It was even expensive.

I have an Android phone in which the battery easily gets drained. I tried to put some music inside the micro SD card of the phone but my not-so-smart phone is really slow. For how many years, I wasn't able to hear music using my headphone. I love listening to music on my phone when I don't want to get disturbed.

Also, if I want to listen to my music, I realized that I needed to be off-the-grid. I don't want to see myself using the phone while listening to music.

Instead of buying a new phone for which I don't have the budget yet, buying an old school MP3 for a cheap price is so much worth it.

As you can see, the size is small. It is also lightweight. On the first day of May, I started running and walking, I made it to 3.5 kilometers for 5000 steps.

Also, it looks like a toy. I chose red because I wanted it to be an eye-sore so that I can easily find it.

My husband loves to DJ and he put his mix inside my old school MP3 player. He laughed because it looks like a toy.

Music makes me happy so having an MP3 player with my favorite songs will bring such great joy to my day.

Having an MP3 player is a great companion for my walking and running in the forest.

I think I will add some Zumba music here as well. Haha!

Thanks to @irenenavarroart and @ladiesofhive for the beautiful questions.

I thought it was your phone 😄. It looks really small and easy to carry around too.

I had a very similar player many years ago and I miss it a lot, when it broke down I tried to get it repaired but it wasn't possible and I felt very sad. I don't like to use my phone to listen to music because I use it for work, it would be a good option to buy a player like you did 😊

Yes, and it's getting cheaper. I can't believe I got it for 10 Euro. :)

That's a good buy I think and separating music from your phone is a great idea.
