I've been meaning to tell the story of how I almost lost two cell phones in a span of one month but I'm just too lazy too think of how to write it. Nevertheless, not being able to write for a almost a month was my driving force to go 'head and type those words away.
As I said, I nearly lost two mobile phones in a month's time. The first one was my Globe phone, it was a Nokia 1680, which I bought as a Christmas ('08) gift to my mom. It was Typhoon Ondoy and I had a hard time going home. It was flooded all the way from Alabang to Laguna. I had both my Sun and Globe phone that time but since I was communicating with my cousin, who is a Globe user, I decided to keep the other phone in the safety of my bag and the other one in my pocket. Since it was impossible to go home to Binan, it was chest-deep inside the subdivision, I decided to take my chances and travel 2 towns away (I mean, 1 town and 1 city, Sta. Rosa is already a city), just to have a place to spend the night at. It never occured to me that rain water + flood water would make the phone slip unnoticed. I found out that I lost it when I was aboard a shuttle (a semicon shuttle, that is!) and was about to text my cousins who are on the roof at that time. I braved the flood and the typhoon but I lost a phone that wasn't even a year old.
Moving on, it was not even a month after when I lost my other phone, a Samsung E590, that just turned a year old. It's my Sun cell phone, though it's postpaid, just the thought that I lost another phone makes me mad. It was a Saturday and it accidentally fell off my bag's pocket. I lost it riding a tricycle going home. I tried calling and sending SMS to my phone but no luck, not even once that 'someone' answered any. Good thing was I remembered the tricycle that I rode into but it wasn't there the following day. I waited until Monday to look after the trike driver, it was after I had my number blocked and got another sim card, I saw the driver and asked if he saw a mobile phone that was left in his trike and voila! *wide grin here* He asked me what the phone looked like and I willingly described it. He was even telling me that I was lucky that the other passenger gave it to him, thinking it was his phone, saying that he's Catholic and he would never steal things from someone. He asked for 'pa-meryenda' in exchange of keeping my phone until someone asks for it.
And there, that's the story of my two mobile phones. It has been two (almost three) months since I lost my Globe mobile phone and my postpaid is suffering because of it. :) Most of my contacts are Globe users and it costs me a peso to send SMS unlike if I have a Globe phone, I can always go IMMORTAL. ;)
Anyhoo, I am planning to get (buy, actually) a phone for Globe use. Hopefully, I can get one before the year ends. Hello Bonus, Hello Backpay!
