Like nothing happened.

[currently listening to: somebody typing her speech plan beside me]

I lost my phone last Monday, I bought a new one right away the next day.

And to everybody's surprise, I bought the exact same phone. The very same model. Even the jelly cover was the same, the screen guard was the same.

It was like nothing ever happened.

But the damage inflicted on me will never be disguised.

I liked my old number pa naman, *sigh*..ayan, result of stupidity and carelessness.

At least, it's still the same phone, I wouldn't have to get used to a new set of keys.

It's just that, this really punched a hole in my bank account *more sighing*

LESSON LEARNED, Eka.

P*nyeta. The Ketchup Phone Snatching Story.

[currently listening to: Lance Gamiao]

Haay. The formentioned Corby phone has been stolen.
It's gone na. None. Nada. No more!

So if you've been reading this blog for a long time now, you may have noticed I have a new number (please see Facebook profile for number).

And ang ayoko lang is the way it was stolen.
It was all because of....


...KETCHUP.


:|
damnit. I like ketchup pa naman!!!

It was a Monday morning (September 6), I was on my way to school pa lang. It was the day I decided I would wear my surfer shorts (the one with no pockets). So I commuted to school holding my phone with its headset on. I was in the jeep to Pasay Rotonda, in Edsa na, feeling a bit sleepy when suddenly a random middle aged guy tapped my shoulder...

"Miss, miss, may ano ka sa balikat mo o"

Siyempre tumingin naman ako.

"Kadiri, miss. Punasan mo yan, kadiri."

Siyempre, nakaputi pa ako, so pupunasan ko talaga!

"Miss, dun pa sa likod o."

So tinignan ko pa sa likod! (stupid move)
then via peripheral vision, bumaba na yung lalaki..
I was wearing my earphones, it suddenly became quiet.
Hinawakan ko yung cord, ABA!!!...di na siya nakaconnect sa kahit ano!?!
I realized (Loading...) na wala na yung phone ko.
"YUNG CELLPHONE KO?!?!?!!???"

Yung mga tao naman sa jeep, "Ayun na siya o." (pointing outside)

Di na ako nakapagisip, I jumped out of the jeep and ran....ran for my life.
I still remember the face of the asshole, so I tried to go after him pa.
Until I reached Evangelista. I was screaming by that time.

Yung taong-bayan, "Miss, ano nangyari sa'yo?"
"MAY NAGNAKAW NG CELLHONE KOOOOOO!!!!"

Gahd. Seeing na wala na talaga yung guy, I looked for a pay phone. I tried to call my mother. The whole conversation itself if another story.

I just headed back to school looking all grizzly and tired, like I've been mugged......oh right, I HAVE been mugged. :|

And I CRIED. I cried so hard. First because it was all stupid. I was stupid. Antanga-tanga. Second, It was because that Corby was the first expensive phone I bought with MY money. Iba na talaga pag ikaw ang nagearn ng pambili mo. Third, KETCHUP??!?!?! I went through the day with a ketchup stain on my shoulder!!..I could smell the whole incident the WHOLE freakin' day.

It was too much. After ng exam sa Bio101 (which I took poorly), I called my mom na to pick me up. I didn't have the strength to take another class.

Because of all these, I learned a lot from this freakin' experience:

• Don't bring out your phone while commuting, even if it's ringing..
• Don't ride a jeep in Edsa alone in the morning na. Just wake up EARLIER to ride with your mom in the morning.
• Never trust anyone in a jeep, especially men in white collared shirts.
• When somebody calls your attention in a jeep, DO NOT MIND THEM. They might be trying to distract you.
• When it already happens, DO NOT run after them, it may cause you your life.
