Almost Taken

Last night I needed to walk as I've been sitting in front of my pc practically the whole day. Finished whatever i had to submit at a little over 9pm. We had pizza earlier since a few of my colleagues are resigning so it was our way of thanking them, so no worries i was feeling full and there's still a few slices of it waiting to be devoured. Decided to take that much needed walk. Olive, my housemate, agreed to join me even though all she wanted to do that time was to lie down in her bed and sleep. We were happily walking taking the route B.S. Aquino Drive then turned to Lopez Jaena Street. We were just in front of Banco de Oro and approaching the Ceres terminal when suddenly a motorcycle drove past me, in my right side where i was holding my bag, and tried snatching it. OMG! it came too late for me to realized they were trying to snatch my bag. i thought drunk driver that didn't know his way and almost hit me. hay.........sinigawan pa namin sila ng 'gago' at 'hoyyyyyyyyyyyy' lumingon pa ang driver. didn't get the plate number too and the people nearby who saw it told us that's the latest modus operandi of thieves. buti na lang i have this habit of holding on to the sling of my bag pero siempre naputol sya. but i'm so grateful that they were not able to get it. kakasweldo ko lang kahapon at lahat ng cards ko nasa wallet. doesn't mean naman na andami kong cards pero yung mga importante tulad ng SSS, ATM, etc. pati na cell phone nasa bag ko. kakasunog nga lang lahat ng papeles ko pati ba naman kung ano na lang ang natira nanakawin pa?

so now i'm thinking lesson ba yun for me to stop walking home? or stop staying too late in the office and walk home early? ewan....basta ako i will still walk home whenever i can for as long as i can. it's my only way of burning fats after office. i used to bike but since nasunog ang bike ko it will take some time to purchase a new one.

from now on i will be very wary, which is not so me at all, and i'm sure only time can tell when i will get over it. for others, my unsolicited advice is to be always extra careful and mindful of your valuables and it would do you good to divide stuffs and not just put in everything in one bag. better be prepared than sorry.
