Yesterday morning was a surprising and blissful moment of the day because of my promotion and salary increase. With that, I decided to make a blog about it which was posted an hour before the day ends.
While I was riding on the jeepney, I was busy typing on my phone for the blog I'm about to post. Few minutes later, three tall and skinny teenagers rode and they were beside me. It's not that I discrimminated them but I just want to make sure of it. So I lowered down my phone and blocked their view using my backpack.
When the jeepney stopped, the boy grabbed my phone. It was so sudden like how could they even grabbed it when I was using my backpack to block them. I suddenly jumped out of the jeepney which made my backpack to stumble down on the jeepney floor. I ran towards the running thief and ran back to the jeepney to grab my bag.
I ran as fast as I could while I was shouting, "My phone! My phone! Please help me!"
Then the thief ran to the creek that has no lights. I stopped running but still shouting. If I chase them my life would be at risk. They maybe brought some sharp weapons. So I just plead and asked for a help. I did not cry at first. But I was trembling so hard because I want to punch and kick the balls of those addicts.
A Barangay Task Force came and asked me few questions. He then called to block those possible exits that the thief could take. I called my boyfriend using the student's phone to inform him that my phone was snatched. Then a couple riding a motorcycle came and said that the three went to Barangay Villa Verde. The Barangay Task Force said to come with him and he drove around asking someone to block three tall and skinny teenagers. I even describe their shirts, their hair and hair color.
I gave up as we kept on circling around the area. I was crying really hard at that moment already. My phone. I still have 14 months left because it's Globe Postpaid Plan. I decided to have a Smartphone because of Steemit and Bitlanders. But now, how can I post a blog with decent pictures?
The Task Force decided that we should report it to the police. So we went there and told them what happened. Even though the police were searching and roaming around, I already believe that there's no chance to retrieve my phone.
I prayed and said that it is all up God. Whatever He will do to the three thieves, it is all up to Him. I thanked the task force for helping me and also to the couple who chased the thieves.
My boyfriend called Papa if he could fetch me in the police station. So, I went home crying til dawn. I even posted my ulog of how happy I was. It was an honest feeling but the time I posted it was when I was so down and depressed.
Mama comforted me that it's just a cellphone that I could buy a new one. But since the incident is still fresh, I told her that it seems like I'm just throwing a money. Papa told me that I should practice being more observant. I was being observant but I was overwhelmed of my blissful feeling that I didn't bother to just stop typing and then hide my phone.
My Nana just told me that it was a good choice that I didn't chase them. I just need to save money again and buy a new one for my blogs. Lastly, my dearest boyfriend, who chased me back and forth and went with me in the police station, scolded me at first and then he said sorry for scolding me. He comforted me telling me that we will try our best to have a new one. I told him that I don't want to have a new phone, but he insisted because he knew that my phone is my buddy in my blogging world.
Since I still can't afford to buy a new one, he said that I can borrow his phone. This morning, we went to the globe store at the mall to inform them that my phone was snatched and if I could avail a new sim card. The customer service said yes and the sim was given to me right away. I also asked her regarding the phone, if I could avail a new one. She said yes but I need to pay the remaining balance tho.
The amount is vey shocking which made me realize that for few months or a year perhaps, Caryl will have no phone and she will be relying to her boyfriend's Huawei P10 and also pixabay.
I stopped crying and cried again because of the pictures. I had pictures that I was about to post and I forgot to back up them. The scenario kept playing on my head. I don't want to remember it but my mind is a stubborn one.
Yesternight and today and for a couple of days or weeks, I surely be sad and get depressed again. Thus, I decided to devour books again to keep my mind from playing the incident.
