It's not the first time I lost my phone, and I bet those who have lost their phones many times than I (it's my 2nd time btw) will just give me a cold shoulder about this. Nevertheless let me tell you my 2 stories..
October 2001 - The first time I lost my first phone ever (Nokia 3310) was when I was on my way home from work. I placed it on my pocket but the phone chain is out of my pocket. Upon riding the bus going south (I go down in Guadalupe), there were some people going against my direction. While in a jeepney, when i felt my pocket and didn't notice my phone there, I just thought my phone is in my bag. When I got home and looked at my bag, my phone wasn't there. So I started to panic. I brought out all the things in my bag and searched every pocket it has, but none. My brother called it and a male voice answered. He said I can get back my phone if I meet with him by myself and pay him P2,000. Since that time I didn't have that amount of money and it seems so dangerous to meet up with that person who answered my phone, I decided to just let it go. The only frustrating part there was I just finished paying for that phone cause I got it from my co-teacher for 8 gives or 4 months to pay basis.
August 4, 2009 - On my way to this place, I took a cab. When my friend asked for my phone cause she needs to text someone, i then started to look for my phone. Not in my pocket, not in my jacket's pocket, not in my bag. Therefore, gone. My theory is I dropped it upon going down the cab cause I remember putting it on my lap, where my jacket is covering my legs, while i was preparing for the taxi fair. And since the floor of the cab is like rubberized, I didn't hear anything when I was going down. My friend really went through all my things in my bag, asked me if I got the plate number of the cab, and lectured me to next time check the cab if I dropped or left something inside before I close the door of the cab. Now, the frustrating and sad part.. My sweet pink samsung phone has a very high sentimental value. I first saw that phone was October 2007 ,and from there I adore it from the window and looking forward to December to buy it. First week of December, my mom was diagnosed to have lymphoma - cancer of the lymph nodes. Even before I can tell her that instead of buying my phone, we'd use the money for her treatment, she talked to me and said that I have to buy my phone, if not, she'll get mad at me. So even if I was having second thoughts of buying it, I still did cause that's what my mom wants. When I finally got it, the first thing I did was call her cause that time she was in Batangas. Then I set the welcome note, it says "This is for my mama". My mom went to heaven 22nd of December 2007. So that sweet pink samsung phone of mine was a remembrance of my mom among many other things. That's why I got really sad when it got lost. I told a friend that of course you'd still see me smile, hear my laugh, but i wouldn't get over of losing my sweet pink samsung phone.
