atin-atin lang

yup. you read it right. i think i made someone happy today. this is not your usual Valentines Day entry though; albeit one with a painful kick of reality.

i lost my phone this morning on the way to work. it could only have been in the tricycle or the jeep, i can’t tell exactly. i only realized it when i was already on the bus, so i immediately got off. i tried to search for the jeep in Baclaran, but to no avail.

i was frantic for a very short while, until i realized that all this stress wouldn’t be of much help anyway. so i stopped running around Baclaran and found a way to get in touch with my folks back home to deliver the news. i called up my mom and she almost automatically nagged me about it. as that didn’t help me much i decided to cut short our conversation. so much for comforting.

through the years, i’ve learned to accept things as they happen; and leave them at that. i refuse to cling to something which i can’t get back anymore (at least for material things). so now, it’s time to move on. and save up for a new phone, haha!

of course there’s a lesson learned here. this didn’t just happen. it’s actually the first time that i lost something that valuable. i was careless for one. i forgot to check my pockets before geting off, which is unusual. i always check. hmmmm. i guess it’s also a reality check for me and karma getting back at me for something i can’t mention here. i’m really one who learns his lessons the hard way. i earnestly hope that this experience helps me improve myself, in more ways than i expect.

i feel so shitty this Valentines Day. i can only hope for better things to come.

at least i made someone happy.
