A very funny event happened to me, though I think I shouldn't be enjoying it.



Last Saturday, I believe it was, my dad and I went to the bank near SM Delgado(?). My dad needed to get some US money from the bank and exchange it.We had parked right in front of the bank.Since the money exchange was just around the corner(literally) form the bank, we decided to just walk the few meters.

After getting out from the money exchange shop, my dad eyed the bananque(?) stand from across the street.Having the temptation to buy a few bananaques, Dad lead me across teh street.

While waiting our turn, my dad kept asking me which kind I wanted. Usually, while I'm in public and walking on the streets, I usually keep quiet.Since I still can't speak Ilonggo(I'm receptive linguistic, though), I try to keep it hidden that I can only speak english, because of the people who would try to kidnap me(who would kidnap me?) or steal from me.So, I tried to hint to my dad to talk to me in Ilonggo but to no prevail.My ignorant dad didn't understand, though(sorry, Dad).To make it quick, I just answered, "Whatever."

Our waiting made me anxious. I had a very bad feeling about my surroundings. I could feel like something wasn't "right," like we should get away quickly. I shrugged it away, thinking that it was just another one of my pessimist thoughts.

When we finally got our three bananaques, my dad walked me across the street quickly. I could tell that he was anxious as well. My dad made me walk in front of him and held my shoulder strongly. When we reached the corner, he let go and went ahead.

Suddenly, I felt a weird presence surround me. I had a perceiving that somone was behind me. I thought to myself, "Something is definitely NOT right!" Luckily, I was passing near the front of the bank building. The bank had tinted windows. So on the oustide, you couldn't peer into the inside but see a reflection of you and your surroundings instead. I glanced at the building, trying to be discreet. I saw the man.He was wearing a green shirt with thin white stripes that criss-crossed. Underneath, I could see the white t-shirt he had. He had scroggily hair and a small unkempt beard. His face looked young but was starting to wrinkle. He was carrying a dirty, pink-stained, white towel which he probably used to hide the theiving scamble he was execute. I stared at the window, wide eyed. I wanted to punch the guy in the face!

That day, I was carrying my small blue backpack. Of course, for protection, I had secured a pin attached to the two zipper holders. I had also placed a small plastic bag with baye-baye inside on top of all the stuff I had in the bag.

The guy was still fumbling with the pin and had finally gotten it undone. Then, he noticed me staring. He stared back, shocked with eyes as wide as Jeanne's(hehe, sorry Jeanne^~^). The guy quickly let go of my backpack and tried to act natural, turining right, inbetween two cars, and moving to the side of the street to cross(and probably get away=P). I immediately checked my bag. The pin was undone, but my bag was perfectly closed shut.

I rushed to my dad. He was talking to an officer. Apparently, he had noticed the same guy, though yet again, my dad was completely oblivious to the current scene. He had told the officer that he had noticed the guy from the bananaque stand folling us. The guy was behind us at first but then went in front. My dad had let his gaurd down at that time and unknown to him, the guy had gotten behind me.

I was trying to tell Dad what had just happened, but wasn't listening, so I had to wait(Geez, Dad!!!!>.<).As I waited, the guy who just attempted to rob me, kept glancing back at me nervously. I stared at the scrawny dude with furious eyes(though, I think it probably didn't even look angryT_T"). My dad had finally finished and I quickly told him what just happened as we were getting in the car. Dad wanted me to point out the guy. I quickly turned and pointed from inside the car. He was still standing, waiting to cross. Though, I think the guy saw me and I regret not being discreet. My dad didn't see clearly, so I turned to point again, but more secretly this time. I looked, but he disappeared. Again, my dad informed the officer and gave him one of the bananaques as we backed up to leave.

I don't really mind this event much. Actually, it's just really funny to me. However, I should listen to my perceptions more(=P).



So, that's what's happened. By the way, I just came back today from Roxas, Capiz from another business doing with my dad. Today, in my restroom, I found a HUGE spider. I was bigger than even my Dad's hand! We finally killed it though. I think it's the same spider that I didn't kill when I first saw it in the restroom when it was still very small. I had a bad feeling about not killing it, but being who I am, I didn't want to destroy its life(-_-")...Yes, I'm an idiot sometimes...

Anyway, I think I won't be on the computer for a while. My laptop is still broken and I'm still using my cousin's computer. Plus, I'll be going to Manila and then Japan on the 24th of this month(April^.^). I'm really excited for it. When I found out I was going to pass by Japan it was really awesome! I kept jumping on the bed and did a victory dance(=P). I think I'm going to have a party next Saturday on the 18th. I really hope all my friends will come(>.<)!

Oh, and one more thing. I had typed this entry earlier about the stealing event, but then something happened to the computer, and everything deleted(T^T)! So, this is the second typing of everything. My writing isn't very good as my first, but I can't remeber what words I wrote. Anyway, that' s all(=P). Bye!^-^
