I was with my best friend eating at KFC today. I placed my favorite red leather shoulder bag on the chair beside me which was on the other side of where people usually pass by, confident that it was safe (I myself sat on the side which common sense dictated was the side prone to thieves). There was also a low wall beside the chair so I was assured that my bag would be safe. But guess what.. right in the middle of the meal, I noticed my bag was gone!!! We immediately notified the staff and the mall guards but I'm sure there's little chance of recovery.

We speculate that the thief must've been sitting on the chair behind me and took the bag through the space between the back of the chair and the seat. It was a real shock.. ALL my stuff were in my bag. My wallet, my ATM card, my new cellphone, my Nintendo DS and game cartridges, my company ID, my apartment and house keys...everything!!!

I was distraught. But actually what bothered me most wasn't the stuff inside. It was my bag, which I cherish so much because it was an expensive bag given to my by my boyfriend's father.

-----------------

I received a call a while ago. Somebody found my things at a fastfood restaurant (Jollibee Dolores), far away from the mall where my bag was stolen. My ID, ATM card, keys, and some card were found in a plastic bag. Of course my cellphone and DS was gone. And worse of all, my cherished bag was gone too. Thieves usually throw the empty bag away, which gave me a bit of hope, but I guess mine looked to good to throw away.

I really hate the fact that there are so many thieves in my country. Stories like mine are commonplace. I'm actually surprised it happens to me less often. At times like this, I really wish I could move away from this godforsaken country (I usually think this, even when I don't get stuff stolen). There's something seriously wrong with the system and society here, and this rampant thievery is but a symptom. But I digress.

So please be careful at all times, even when you think you're safe! You're NEVER sure! Especially here in the Philippines!

I just graduated from university last Saturday

It was hot and it took a long time but it was worth it in the end. I even got a shiny medal A medal that actually has _something_ written on it, not like the ones I received before that looked just like every other medal you can buy at the store.

The singers during the program were AMAZING O_O

Unfortunately, I didn't make the cut to honors.. by a mere 0.2 points..!!! T_T T_T

Now I'll have to start worrying about my future.

=============================

I've just started dabbling with watercolors.. I love the effects but I can't control the paints and the brush! >.<

Visit my SCRAPS to view my watercolor attempt and my ooooolder works

It's so hot here I feel like dropping dead.

And it's so not fun going round the campus under the heat of the sun running important errands..

I wanna lock myself in the shower or freezer.

I feel I'm gonna get dehydrated again.. dang weather!!!

It's bad.. >.< I have a ton of stuff to do but I don't feel like doing anything at all >.<

The only good thing about this is that I'm getting a ton of ideas for fanarts. Hope I can work on them soon.
