And they say 13 isn't really an unlucky number...
It's really quite sad that the first entry that i'm gonna post for my blog after a long time, and for a new lay-out at that, one which i myself helped created, after such a long wait, my very first blog lay-out change, that the first entry i am to post is mad, sad and bad one. T-T MY PHONE GOT STOLEN!!! Yes, my newly-repaired camera-phone 7650 was stolen today along with its expensive original new battery and my recently reloaded SIM card with about php200(?) still in it. T_______T It didn't register at first, but when realization finally dawned, i was SOOO greatly horrified. The last time my phone got stolen from me was the start of first year high school. My 3210. After which, i lived for about more than a year without a phone. That was possible then, i doubt it is now. :( Right now I'm even supposed to be texting some UPRPT people about our christmas party. And being of the Secretariat committee, i'm assigned with a lot of texting jobs. D**n!!! I lost a lot with the theft of my phone. T_T I lost what was left of it's memory after all the phone messages were erased, the remnants of which was consisted of PRECIOUS pictures that I've saved since i owned my phone, my entire phonebook, some applications I've downloaded from globe costing php30 each, and the last of my text messages that survived because i had copies of it in my phone and my sim (like stacy's graduation text to the Tatlo, Kimmy's quotes that she sent me when i was really down [you know when] and a hell lot more... T__T) I felt really crushed. I know i've said this before due to the loss of my phone's memory, but this. is. SO MUCH WORSE!! X( My entire phone! Which is actually even more expensive than bianca's brand new 3650! Huhuhu... I also died twice in this online game I'm currently hooked on, and thus, I've lost two consectutive character levels. And i lost my precious weapon, my bow, and about 50 arrows. Which is terrible cause I can't really afford a bow, despite my character's supposed vocation, i only even had one because some really nice guy game it to me. T_T And i lost it cause i died. T_T Plus, today, as i was splurging my entire allowance on gifts to take my mind of these problems, i came across a little gun keychain (metal, with a moving trigger, etc.) that actually shoots. The girl in the store demonstrated it for me, and it really pops with a small fiery blow! (it was so cool with the small explosion and the gunpowder.) It was so nice... And it was reasonable too. So i decided to buy one for myself, just one nice thing for myself that day, is that too much to ask? Apparently so, becaaue of all those guns in display, I happened to pick out a DAMAGED one. >< MALAS!!
On the brighter side, however, i have a new sim card and a new phone number that you can use to contact me with. I will be reunited with an old, trusty and unappealing (to thieves..-_-) cellphone (which this household keeps as a spare), and this is a relief compared to the last theft in my life. -_- I also met Tagpi and Rabbu (?), vigile's very cute puppies! ^^
Another, slightly brighter side of today is the change in my blog's lay-out (finally!!!). And believe me, it was practically dying for it. -_- Even Stacy and Vigile were too sick of the old one to even visit it. But oh well... that's all in the past. :) My new lay-out is inspired by Christmas (obviously) and it reminded me of a certain Sestina (kind of poem) that is entitled something like this: "A Sestina writen in a Cold Land... etc.... There is no word for Snow in my Language." Cause we (obviously again), being in a tropical land as we are, never see or experience winter, save if you go out of the country. (Note: BUt actually there is a Filipino word for it: Niyebe. ^^) But anyway, nice thought.
I'd like to thank stacy and vigile again for the great encouragement, instruction and, finally, polishing of this new lay-out. If stacy had not taken the time to explain and demo somethings for me, even though she was clearly too tired for it (she couldn't even click some buttons well cause of her weariness), I would never have started to make this version. Then vigile helped me with the codes, etc. And for this, my two trio mates have a special corner on my sidebar, the picture being a link to their own extraordinarily wonderfully styled blogs. ^_^ SALAMAT!!!
