i was very blessed!! >_<

indeed!!!

grabe, last saturday, we had a chess training at the Blue Eagle Gymn.. i was asked to play against 2 new comers (they passed the ACET.. hoora!!) and they were daughters of respected and known national masters of chess. fortunately, my first opponent was trouble with her time so she never really won against me even though she would probably have because she had the piece advantage. anyway, the second girl was impressive at all. i'm not being boastful or anything but she wasn't playing any good. she knew chess moves and openings but she committed too much blunders. no offens to her and her father, but i don't think she deserve a scholarship for being a player. anyway, i wasn't given any authority to reject and accept her in the team but i'll see soon if what she deserves because we will be helding a mini-'tournament' at the gymn for all those people interested in joining the team in March 12 and 19.

after the training, i went to the rsf (computer lab) and i checked my mail and listened to some mp3s.. then when it was time to leave, i forgot that i placed my mobile phone beside the keyboard (that i always do because i wanted to have signal, which by the way was hard to get inside the foyer...). then when dj and i reached ctc, i remembered that i left that d*mn phone! i ran back but the it was closed... aaaaaahhhhh... panic, panic, panic..

i went to xavier hall to ask if i can still open the foyer to get something. they said that the people having the keys already left.. aahhh, panic again.. i ask the guards if the people clean that room in the morning and he said that he was not sure. ahhh.. hopelessness came up to me and so i went home... d*mn it!

so i spent my whole night wondering how to get my phone back. i tried calling it with our landline and it rang. a good sign!! i barely slept that night and when i woke up at seven, i dialled it again. it rang!! there's hope!! hahaha... then my uncle and i went to SM to buy stuffs and when he asked me about my phone, i told him that i forgot to get it from a friend. no more questions were asked because he knew that i always forget a lot of things. in fact, there was a time in high school that i went to school forgetting my bag.. hahaha... too nice!! ^_^

haaaay.. last night, i was really praying very hard... i don't actually care much about the phone but the sim card and messages in there.. honestly, i've lost a phone last time and the hassle of collecting numbers and informing everyone about my new contact number was very unpleasant. haaaayyy...

so early this morning, i hurriedly prepare for school.. in the jeep from UP to katipunan, i saw kuya tefferson (4-bs ME!!) and told him my story and he wished me luck... i wished him luck too because he said that he'll have his last exam later at 730pm. we talked as we walk from the overpass to som. he asked me if i'm a scholar and i said yes. he said that i was very blessed because education nowadays (well, knowing the tuition fees of Ateneo..) were very expensive. i must agree, i'm blessed...

we parted ways at the sec walkaway and so i headed to the rizal foyer. i asked the manong and the guard if they saw a mobile phone. they asked several things like what model, when did i left it, where, color, etc... i told them everything even the attempts to recover it and that i called it the nights before. the computer technician said that he wasn't there yesterday so he would not possibly know if they got anything. i wondered for a while because i thought that it was close during sundays. he said that it opened at 1pm and that a different person was incharge. my hope again broke into pieces... whahahaha...

then, manong looked inside the office. after about a loooOooong 5 minutes, he went out holding my mobile phone and continuously saying that he saw nothing. i was very relieved!! woo hoo.. i love my phone of course.. hahaha.. i was very thankful to the very nice guy that saw my phone and had the nicest heart not to keep it for himself.. very nice of him!! ^_^ also, im thankful to the manongs in there.. hehehe.. i promised my self not to do that again. and indeed, i once again felt that i am really, really blessed. >_<
