Packer!
Someone stole my phone! In the office!
To think I was gone for only a few moments, someone was seated beside me and over the
bakod. No one noticed anything. Why me??? Just when I was starting my "austerity measures". I never did anything to attract attention for someone to get my phone. My phone's not completely new nor is it the latest one. People have said she might have been watching me already that day... crap.
I am strangely nonchalant about it--maybe because it hasn't completely sunk in yet. People in the office were so nice about it, from calling the security to searching the office, letting me text so I could be picked up, to chasing the suspect downstairs (thanks, Ninno!), to welcoming me to the club to stolen cellphone casualties. Strange how the suspect changed her tactics by stealing on a Wednesday (she usually steals on a Monday) and how she stole from my side of the floor (the regular victims are seated in what we call Siberia). So I assume she's going to be absent today.
The shock still hasn't hit me yet. Although my friends insist that it will come soon, it slowly getting to me. It was my birthday gift from my dad last year, my BKK phone. Sigh. I really hate the inconvenience of losing numbers, messages, the SIM card I've had since 1999... Argh. Okay, worse things could've happened, I'm just
nanghihinayang about it, the fact that she got away with it again...
All I can think of is that she'll get karma
na lang. Sigh.

Beach DreamingThis should've been posted last weekend yet, but I was waiting for pictures (thanks
Anch!). I haven't uploaded my pictures as well, but it's not as much as Anch's.
I have been beach dreaming ever since my friends have been inviting me to go to the beach. What with the oppressive heat of summer and a pale, unhealthy look to me, I realized I do need to get out in the sun at least once!
So I took the girls up on a beach outing last Saturday. We (Anch, Trina and Gres) went to Punta Fuego for a day trip. It was fun--I have never actually been to the beach with my friends (excluding the last time in Subic but that didn't really count because it was not in a
beach beach plus it was other things aside from the beach. Trust me, I felt like all life form was gone from the water in Subic). We stayed out in the sun, something I have never done before. I tried making my upper arms tan evenly with my forearms--five years in sleeves can do that to you--but I ended up with a nasty sunburn on my shoulders which still hurt until now.
In the afternoon, we went around Punta Fuego, drooling over the lovely houses. I swear, a house by the sea is incredibly beautiful, if a bit melancholy. The houses along the cliff appealed to my dramatic senses, with the sound of waves hitting the rocks and the gentle breeze blowing. Loved it. If only I was well off enough to have a pretty house by the sea...
Later on, we went swimming in the Infinity Pool (love it even if the water was sooo warm. It was cooler making
damba on the ledge). I realized I can't swim that well anymore. :( Must be the years I spent away from the water. When I was a kid, I enjoyed swimming. Now I can hardly swim or hold my breath. Too bad.
Later on, we had dinner in Tagaytay with Trina's parents. Super cold in Tagaytay, completely opposite of the weather earlier! But it was a nice, low key ending to a rather hyper day.

Other stuff
1. The Swishy Girls at the beach - Anch & I were watching these three girls in their bikinis stand in knee deep water and just swish the water. That was it. What was their point? I have no idea. They just swished the water under the hot sun. Beyond us why they didn't get into the water to cool off. Huh.
2.
Kikay Girls - Well, my brother was right that you can feel so poor sometimes there. Goodness. There were these girls which we assumed were high school-college age and the way they carried on was like... well, rich kids. I remember when I was that age, I don't think I was like that. It was grating though to hear them talk about the latest gimmicks. Grr.
3. Fun trip down memory lane - outings, road trips with my friends always mean reminscing on college days. :) Especially with a CD playing songs from our college days! Haha how fun!
4. Christmas gift giving - I know! Four months after Christmas!
5. "Ever After" by Bonnie Bailey was our LSS/theme song.
