A series of unfortunate events...
I must say the past few days have not been the most pleasant for me.Last saturday, after filling up my car in a Shell Station (but of course) in Q. Ave I went directly home only to realize upon my arrival that my credit card was nowhere to be found. So I had to rush back to that particular station and ask the gasoline attendant boy if I left it and his immediate reply was "sir wala po dito". I then immediately went to the select station (since I bought a ferarri key chain) and asked the lady over the counter and again she told me it was not there. I was quite getting panicked already when I went back to my car to search for it again. When I was about to call Citibank to reRport my lost card, the gasoline attendant suddenly comes to me and says "sir nandun pala sa may hanginan, nalaglag siguro" whew! boy was i relieved. So i thanked him and went home to call Citibank just to check if indeed the card wasn't used while it was "lying around" and luckily it wasn't used.
And then yesterday I was about to go to UP to jog but I had severe headaches in the afternoon. I was forced to go home earler than usual and take a rest.
And just this afternoon after finally pushing through with my jog (together with Walter and Tess), we were crossing the road in a quick jog in order to avoid the oncoming traffic when I realized my p990 fell from my belt bag. I was frozen in the sidewalk just staring at it when the first two cars were able to swerve past it but suddenly a fortuner ran over it and my hopes of it surviving that ordeal was crushed. I got my phone after a few more cars went past it (it was really only the Fortuner who was fortunate enough to run over it) and to my dismay all it displayed was a blank white screen and a crack could be seen on its lcd. The phone was still functioning as I was still able to call some people and play some of the music but the display was really broken already.
So there, three days, three weird, unfortunate stuff happening, but amidst all of them I see lessons to be learned.
1.) Go fill up somewhere near your place so that you can return to it ASAP just in case you leave something.
2.) Fill up at Shell stations. Look how honest the personnel are! (I really want to commend the people there)
3.) When your head's aching, its your mind's way of telling you to slow down, so you really better do
4.) Value your life above your personal possesions. Heck, I could have easily gotten that phone had I wanted to and you woud probably be sending me get-well-soon messages now.
5.) Get a Sony Ericsson phone. Look how tough they are. More than once it fell from my hand and nothing happened, and now, a car ran over it and it still works (though no more screen). That's what you call tough!
6.) Lastly, don't dwell on the bad things but always try to look at the positive side. I have always believed that everything happens for a reason.
So do take care of yourselves and always remember to smile! =)
