five seconds

thats the only the time needed by august to do what it has to do.

this day started around almost noon. had lunch at pizza hut since the line at KFC was long and it was already crowded. i thought that by the time i get my order, i probably wont have a place to sit. thats why i opted to eat at pizza hut. table for one i said to the waiter. this is in taft avenue area. it took some time before i got my order. and when i got it, they gave me a one piece roast chicken that was very difficult to eat. that was probably the most difficult chicken wing ive ever had. i wished i chose kenny rogers instead. so i said to myself, no surprise there. not only am i not lucky during august, im very unlucky. little did i know that august was just warming up.

after eating my lunch, rode the LRT to go to QC. i had to get the van so i can pick up my stuff. i just had to schedule my moving out of the apartment on the first day of august. i thought i could take whatever august has in store for me. besides, i have no choice. i was busy during the last few days of july. i really had no other option. anyway, while i was walking from the LRT station towards the MRT Taft station, i was holding my left back pocket to see if my phone was there. i was walking with a moving crowd of people so i had to check my pockets from time to time. pickpockets could strike anytime. well, my phone was there. more or less five seconds later, i checked my pocket again, my phone was gone. what the? i stopped walking and checked again. my phone wasnt there. i looked around to see if there's anyone suspicious. nope. everyone was minding their own business and really looked like no one had an idea that i just lost my phone. i checked again. my phone was no where to be found.

it took me around 30 minutes before i got over it. after 30 minutes, i accepted the fact that my phone was gone and i need to buy a new one. and then start getting people's numbers and contact details. damn it.

well, august, the good thing about you is that you are always on schedule and you are one reliable bastard. a window of five seconds and one of the most important things i have disappears without a trace. i love that phone and you took it. you really are one crazy piece of shit august. so, what else you got? im going to endure 30 more of your worthless days because with the year ive been through, i have nothing to lose anymore but my non-existent chains.
