un(lucky) me!

I lost my cellphone last week (December 14)...damn! I don't know how it happened, it just "magically" disappeared from my bag, and I found out only after three or four hours after. The perpetrator might have taken advantage of my constant opening of my bag while I was at the mall buying some more gifts. Anyways, I believe in karma, big time! I wasn't even temperamental afterwards for I believe crying won't do me any good. And as they say, what happened, happened! After all, I already reported it to the National Telecommunications Commission last Tuesday, and the people there assured me that it will be blocked in two weeks time. The phone will be useless, so is the SIM card. The only thing they could do with it is "chop-chop" the parts and sell it to Greenhills or elsewhere. Poor buyer, I guess! Whoever has my phone now, whether the perpetrator or the buyer, I bet he or she is in for a big surprise soon!

Now there goes my MP3 player! I was supposed to buy one the following day. But because of this cellphone thing, I opted to buy a new phone instead (the same unit, di na nadala!). It's a necessity now than a want. Come to think of it, a cellphone to me is like a business opportunity in itself. One of my freelance jobs have actually tried to contact me last week, but since I lost my phone (with most of my VIP numbers stored there), she wasn't able to reach me until Monday. So instead of spending days editing her articles, I was given two hours to finish everything. And you know what, it was worth it. The pay was great...fast and in cold cash! Cheers to my first ever freelance editing job!

As for my Christmas list, so far I have only accomplished two. I've been wearing contact lens since December 9, and it feels good. Unfortunately, it took away the grade for my astigmatism but I could still see clearly. Now I don't have to feel uneasy wearing my eyeglasses.

Also, I bought the drawer I've been eyeing for my discs. And since it's big enough for other things, I also stuffed it with my bags and other important documents. By the end of the month, I plan to buy a new set of bedding.

There you go! There are other unlucky incidents, maybe due to mere clumsiness or I've just been so unfortunate lately. Yet I believe that there are better things to come my way. And I hope that happens soon...
