hold-up booboo

what happened last wednesday was so unforgettable. i'm close to being robbed but i still had the guts to act as if nothing's wrong... i didn't panic nor became a bit hysterical.
i've been a devotee of the our mother of perpetual help. after work, i would always rush to redemptorist church for a novena on wednesdays. i never ever thought that as early as 8pm, someone would even dare to declare hold-up in the jeepney where i am at.
the only guy who went to my side (i was seated right beside a guy near the driver), pointed a gun to the driver. I DIDN'T PANIC AT ALL BECAUSE I THOUGHT HE WAS JUST KIDDING AND HE WAS JUST HOLDING A TOY GUN. but when i looked at the guy beside me and the driver, i knew, right there and then that the guy was really trying to rob the passengers of that puj. he told me to give him my cellphone. i responded that i don't have any (good thing, my bag wasn't at my lap that time. i placed in somewhere under my legs.
the passengers inside the jeep panicked when they saw that the guy was pointing his gun at me and insisting that i better give him my cellphone. i was firm in saying that i had no cellphone and that he can't get anything from me. he went inside the jeep and caused commotion. there were already bystanders as if they already know that those were a bunch of asshole robbers. some passengers managed to escape and that made the robber give them a warning shot.
i didn't move. i didn't panic. i just stayed where i was and when the robbers tried to escape, the jeepney where i'm at already left the scene.
after a few minutes, it just occured to me that it was a real robbery and it was not just a joke. the robber didn't see my bag and i was just so lucky that he didn't. for all i know, if he'd saw it, he would steal it, i mean the entire bag containing my portable dvd, digicam, cp, my passport and all my identification cards and bank cards.
i was so relieved that he wasn't able to get anything from me and even from the other passengers as well. we were blessed and thank God.
it turned out that the hold-up thing was merely booboo. they were just a bunch of amateurs trying their luck...
ahh, next time, i'll be more cautious... thank heavens, they weren't professionals.

The one that got away...

Isn't  it obvious, A.R. will always be, and forever will be the one that got away.   I don't know but I just thought about him the other day. Maybe because I chanced upon his letters to me, his videos, his pictures.  He was so close to perfect. I will always have nice words for him even if he broke my heart. I just thought to myself, what if we ended up together? But on second thought, It would be impossible for me to end up with him. I am so immature and stubborn. He doesn't deserve me. He might be my soulmate, apparently, he was, he is and he will always be. Soulmates don't end up with each other, as they say. They have this connection  but it doesn't mean that they are meant to be. Maybe, in the next lifetime, we will meet again.  I'm still hopeful that after everything that I have been through in this lifetime, I still deserve to be happy.  Fingers crossed. *ingzee*

complicated...

have you ever been in a situation wherein you think that he's everything that matters? that he's your life and you can't live without him? but sad truth is, he was never yours to begin with...he can't commit to you because he's already committed.. will you let go or will you fight for your love??? don't you think letting go is the easiest way out? but will you or would you rather not??? what will you choose... choosing what is right but you know that it won't make you happy or choosing what you know is wrong but you certainly know that it'll make you happy? the decision is yours to make...make a stand...and face the consequences!
