Friday early morning, in the FX I was riding, one of the passengers kept passing gas. Not a one-time-big-time thing. Little utots with a faint smelly scent that comes and goes and comes back again, then goes away again. Joskoday -- what a way to start the morning.
After training, I had to rush to Lourdes to get Andy's report card. Since I was rushing, nilagay ko na backpack ko sa likod. Hindi ka naman mananakawan kung mabilis ang lakad mo, that's what I always thought.
After Lourdes, next stop was Star Mall. I had to show the Prime Water guys my September receipt kasi nagkandadoble-doble na bayad namin sa tubig. I was still in a rush (they close at 5 PM) pero hindi na speedwalking like I was a couple of minutes ago. Anyway, ang problema, when I was about to cross EDSA. Syempre I had to stop.
I felt some tugging on my back. Lumingon ako, pero wala lang. Normal.
When I got to Star Mall, pina-inspect ko lang one bag sa guard. Then went on my way. Tinawag ako ng lady guard - "Miss, yung bag n'yo nakabukas."
Kinabahan ako. Yun na nga. Nanakawan ako. Kainis!
The thief got my wallet. Not much cash inside. Pero ang hassle kasi all my IDs, credit cards, ATM cards, and cash cards are there. Hassle to report and hassle to get new ones. Magastos pati.
Ano kaya ang reaction ng magnanakaw when he realizes na walang masyadong laman ang wallet na pagkakapal-kapal dala ng mga business cards at resibo? Disappointed, I bet. Sana ibalik na lang n'ya. Baka pumunta pa siya n'yan sa heaven.
My story doesn't end there. Syempre on my way to the police station (yung malapit sa Shang) may isang girl next to me who was wearing a blouse that was exactly the same as what I was wearing. Anobeeh!
But despite all that's happened, may mga nice things din naman that happened that day. Like, finally, parang nakukuha ko na yung tinuturo nila sa amin sa training. Yung putting the subtitles where they should be. They call it spotting. Tapos, when I got my allowance for the week, thank God, nilagay ko yung money sa pocket ko. So, even if nadukutan ako, may pamasahe pa naman ako pauwi. Otherwise, makikita n'yo ako sa may Crossing, palabuy-labuy... Anita Linda, ikaw ba yan? Nope. Lenore Linda is my name. Ngak!
