Since I did not have anything planned for today, I decided to spend my morning shopping with my Dad and Tita in Divisoria!
Yup, I got up extra early (5am), got into the right clothes and decided to bring a body bag, which I thought was the right bag to bring.
The agenda for the day was to buy: 21 kilos of chestnuts (from our suki), a few kilos of kiat kiat and grapes, and 500 pieces of those paper-thin Chinese biscuits which are actually yummy.
Our ride going there was pretty smooth, no traffic encoutnered at all. It was when we got there that we experienced traffic...traffic on foot!
I swear, there were so many people, that at times, we would be stuck standing in one of those narrow roads or aisles, waiting for all those in front to actually start moving! Ugh. I am not one who particularly enjoys rubbing elbows with strangers in a place like that, so that was pretty uncomfortable for me.
We did a lot of walking, as expected, but it was all good, since the weather was kind to us. It wasn't hot at all, and all throughout the whole trip, I did not sweat!
Aside from our list of things to buy, I added a Strawberry Shortcake bath towel (for my spoiled and maarteng inaanak), 2 collared tops, a bunch of hair ties, a crystal case for my new phone, and a few DVD's. This isn't much coz I was kinda nahihilo na while walking around and I really couldn't take the crowded areas; even my dad was getting all woozy already.
So at around noon time, we decided to head back to our car, which was a long walk from 168 Shopping Mall.
The whole time that we were walking around the area, I was really paying attention to my belongings, making sure that everything was still intact.
So as we were heading back to the car, I felt pretty fulfilled coz all my belongings were still with me and I was not sweaty at all and I was pretty proud that I did experience Divisoria.
But things didn't quite turn out the way I thought they would...
As soon as we got to the parking area, I decided to check my phone (which was just in my bag all this time). That's when I saw that the zipper was open, and my phone was gone!
If I could have screamed right there, I would have... Gosh, that was the second phone that was stolen from me... Not a good record at all...
Hay, I swear, you really have to protect your belongings at ALL TIMES! It doesn't matter whether you are at UP (where my first phone was stolen) or at Divisoria.. people nowadays are very clever and sneaky.
What shocks me even more, my dad was walking behind me all this time, and he did not notice a thing! Can you imagine how "good" these people are? Gosh, it's just so saddening to think that people are becoming "experts" at the all the wrong areas.
It's a good thing that my dad told me to use my old phone today, and not the new one which I just got yesterday. Can you imagine if I did? Never mind, I don't even want to think about it. Ugh.
I guess I'm just lucky that I already have my new phone, I'll just have to wait for my new sim to get to me, which will only take a few days, I hope..
*sigh*
Anyway, on to my Christmas calorie count..
It has only been 6 days since my Christmas break started and I am feeling all these pounds building up in me...
Aaahhh!!!
Must implement damage control immediately!
Being stuck at home does not help at all.. Especially with grandparents who get hurt when you do not intake their cooking.
Therefore, for tomorrow, I have decided to have a Starbucks session. That way, I can really focus on all my acads that I have been putting off since like a month ago (all due to Engineering Week) and avoid all foods at home, and of course, enjoy my dose of caffeine.
