Phoneless

This afternoon I was victimized by a pickpocket at the 168 mall in divisoria, I lost my phone. I'm usually alert when in such crowded public places, but carrying gifts I bought for people and finding the whereabouts of my mom and sister distracted me this time. That may just have been the weak point the thief or thieves was looking for. This is the first time someone ever attempted to steal something from me (at least one I consciously know), as I don't think I'm the type that they usually go for ... acting tough and also trying to looking it in such places.

I can only speculate when it happened, perhaps it was when that fat lady disgracefully flapped her boobs on my arm and back while squeezing her way beside me and into the crowd ... I avoided her of course, but that might have been the distraction her cohorts need to bait me. It's the only place and moment I can think of where people were literally skin to skin with each other.

We reported it right away, the guards tried to comfort us by saying that there are cases were they are able to recover stolen items ... I'm not keeping my hopes up, I don't even feel the loss. Maybe I'm a bit sad, not because I lost something but because some people have to resort to such acts. It sucks, mostly because of all the work I have to do to recover those contacts! The money to buy a new one is just secondary at this point. I guess the Wii really is out of the question now.

If by some divine intervention
it is returned to me then good. For now it's an early Merry Christmas for those thieves. All I can say is what comes around goes around, I do believe in karma ... perhaps all the negative vibes surrounding me went with my cellphone, perhaps something better is coming my way soon :P

To my friends: Please email me your numbers so I can contact you once I've bought a new phone. Despite the unlikeliness of it being returned, I'm giving the mall security a week before I buy a new one.

just think of it this way:
atleast now you have a good reason to buy a new one in time for christmas. ;)

Sad to hear that, but you are correct, something better must be coming your way...

Enjoy the holidays!

KENNY said...

Awww man. Sorry to hear that. That must have sucked.

iRonnie - yeah, ganun na nga lang. i'm thinking of buying the same model though. average price range, easy to use, cool functions, plus sanay na kasi dun ...

jeprocks - sana nga, hope it's soon ... and i hope it's big! ;P thanks man!

kenny - yep. good thing i succeeded in not letting it get to me.

Hey, sorry to hear about your phone.

I really find it odd how snatchers can seem to catch you on your weakest moment. I lost a wallet and 2 phones because of pickpockets, and like you said... I think it happened during a moment of weakness.

Sana matamaan ng kidlat. hehe...

I am back to blogging na, got myself a domain... I will do the meme you tagged me with in a future post. :)

zerovoltage said...

am i dreaming? coolness! you're back! :D

ouch ... you must be really be cautious now. this is the 1st time it happened, and my guard has never been this up.

sana nga he he ...

i'm updating my links, and will drop by na rin :D

hi. i came across your blog while looking for anything related to the care bears. ^_^

i can relate to your experience...ako naman, na-snatch ang bag ko malapit sa bahay ko. tama ka, weak point siguro na malapit na ako sa bahay at medyo relaxed na ako. nakakainis lang , but nothing else to do but move on and leave it to God (and karma)

happy new year!

zerovoltage said...

you must have gotten a surprise from my bad care bears ;P

yep, opportunists talaga ang mga magnanakaw na yan! may kapalit yun, may araw din sila.

happy new year too! :D
