Above are the things that was stolen inside my office locker last 21st November, 2011.  I filed an incident report but that's it.  I will not retrieved all those things back.  I know that for sure for I might be the latest victim but I wasn't the only victim and I wasn't the 1st one either.  A lot of incidents similar to my case had happened.  So even if I said I'll move on.  It did happened.  Hello!  And this kind of incidents are not really easy to forget.

Let me share to you my previous experience...


Let's give it a title... "TRUST OR....NOT" 


Here goes...

I remember when I was still in college.  I trusted a friend.  Itago natin siya sa namesung na "JOYA TO THE WORLD". I treated HER as my bestfriend, my sister, I bought HER LUNCH everyday, I paid HER fare when we always go HOME together,  I gave her what I have, I treated HER family as if they were my own.  I also protected HER from everything that can harm her. 

One day my Papa bought me my very own 1st mobile phone.  He actually loaned it from his company just to give it to me, so we can have communication always.

Then one day, like a daily routine.  Me and my friend went home together.  We rode the bus going to Alabang.  As always,  I paid our fare, for I'm thinking that she might have no money left.  Also that day I lent her one of my favorite bags, for I saw her bag, it was already broken.  When we were in the bus.  She asked if she can borrow my mobile phone for she needs to text somebody.  So without any doubt I lent her my phone.  Then she forgot to give it back to me and we already took off the bus and parted ways.  But I thought that it's okay, for we are going to see each other tomorrow at school anyway.

The next day came.  I brought my mobile charger with me for I know for sure that my mobile phone might be low battery now.  So I waited in the lobby for her.  Our 1st class is at 7am.  When I saw her,  I hurriedly open my bag and took the charger out and ask her where my mobile phone is so I can charge it already.  I was so shock when she replied.

"It's not with me.  I gave it back to you yesterday." Joya said.

"No.  I completely remember it's still with you because you were still "texting" when we reached Alabang." I said.

But she continue to deny it.  So after a few arguments I decided that.  My very 1st mobile phone is completely gone.  Things came rushing to my mind.  Like what will I tell my Papa?.  It's not completely paid yet.  But I know for sure that I can't get it back. 

I decided to forget about it and just concentrate during our class.  She just acted like nothing happened.  And I was thinking that maybe she gave it back to me that time but I just completely forgotten if I put in inside my bag or not. Or I might be a victim of a snatcher inside the bus.

So days past...

One day.  She didn't come to class.  I was thinking she might be just late.  But she was absent the whole day.  I got concerned, so after my class.  I hurriedly went outside the school and rode a bus going to her house.  She might be sick or something bad might have happen to her.  I was so concern.   Before I rode the jeepney going to their subdivision I bought some fruits for her.  Their house is just little so when you reached the screen door, you will see everything that's inside.  I knocked at the door, and I saw her watching movies.   When she saw me she hurriedly open the door and I went inside the house.  I wasn't even there for a few minutes when I notice a familiar thing in the corner.  The 1st thing that came into my mind was "wow she bought a mobile phone". 

So I asked her

"You bought a new mobile phone na?" 

Then the next thing really sent shivers to my spine.  When she realized what I was referring to, She hurriedly went to where the phone is then get it and went straight to her room.  I was so shocked  I don't know how to react.  Then she came back as if nothing happened and sat infront of me. 

I asked her then

"Is that my phone?" 

"I'm not going to get mad just as long as you are going to give it back to me for my Papa is still paying for the loan of that phone."

But then she said that it's not a phone that I saw but just a "calculator". 

"a Calculator, but why do you have to hide it inside your room if that is just a calculator?."

But she keeps on insisting that it's just a calculator.

I can't stay any longer.  As if my heart is going to burst any minute at that point so I just said that it's getting late I have to go home.

That's it! The friend that I treated as a sister, as a family.  I gave my all to that person but she stole my mobile phone and hid it right in front of me.  


And she thought I'm stupid enough to notice the difference between a calculator and a mobile phone. 

We still see each other everyday at school but I didn't treat her the way I treated her before.  I just treated her as a regular classmate.   And as for that person she still acts as if nothing happen.


3 months past by...

We were inside the ROTC room.  As we were "Sponsors of ROTC".  And of course "Joya to the world" is also there.  Then we decided to go home.  Then I look at my bag.  Oh oh... I found out that my mobile phone is not there anymore.  I just have a pouch-bag so there is no pockets to search.  I panicked.  I was so shocked.  So I asked one of the ROTC cadets to search the whole room for it.  I can't think, I can't move.  I didn't realize that they didn't search her bag because she's also one of the ROTC sponsors.  Then you go again.  My mobile phone got stolen.  I couldn't react.  So again I realized,  I can't have my phone back anymore.




Then 3-4 days after...  

 "Joya to the world" went to school.  And guess what?! What a surprise that she has a new mobile phone.  I asked where did she buy the phone.  (It was a different model from the mobile phone that got stolen or lost, whatevs!).  She said that her godfather gave it to her.  Ok fine! That's good news.  So life goes on.  I always borrow that phone from her to play because there is a certain feature that you can check your "LOVE METER".  (Just type in the name of the person you have a fancy with and your name then it will calculate how compatible you are with each other.  I know corny right, but hello I was still in my college years, USO YUN!).  So most of the time, I have the mobile phone.  And she  doesn't even mind that the phone is with me.




Next day...


Me and Joya and a friend went inside the ROTC room.  Like we always go if we are not doing anything or we have no classes.  It's also a privilege for the ROTC sponsors like us to make use of the room.  So I was sitting on one of the desk watching Television.  (Yes, we have T.V. inside the room too. as one of the privilege too.)  And the two of them were chatting.  Like always I borrowed the mobile phone to check my "LOVE METER" it's like a daily routine na for me.


So while I was using it.  Our other friend noticed the phone and she asked...


"Joya, is that your new phone?"..


"Yes."  Joya answered...


"So, what happened to the other phone that you have 3 days ago?..." our other friend asked...


It was hard for me to hear their conversation for we are just on the same room and it's just the three of us there.  That other friend was just looking at herself in the mirror so she didn't realized that "Joya to the world" is making gestures for her to stop talking.  But she doesn't seem to noticed it.  But I did.  So she continue to talk...


"Joya, did you already sell the (mentions the model of the phone) sa Metropolis?" she asked.


Joya panicked.  She stood up and asked "our other friend" to stop.


"Ssshhh.. let's not talk about it already..." Joya said.


But it was to late.  I heard it everything already.  I was there.  And probably that "other friend" of ours didn't know that the phone that "Joya to the world" sold sa Metropolis to buy a new mobile phone is mine.  Then it HIT me.  The one that she stole from me 3 days ago.  I'm not blind or stupid not to realized that she did it to me again.


That time I realized what kind of person she is.  Then I also realized that I was still holding her mobile phone.  She actually look at it.  Like I was never going to give it back to her.  So she didn't have the courage to tell me that she needs the phone now.  So I didn't give it back still.  We went to our last class. (yes we were classmates too..).  The phone is still with me.  And she's not even asking it back.  She may have realized that I discovered her secret.  To be honest,  for a second I was really thinking that I won't give it back to her.  Technically, this is mine!  The money that she bought this from is the money that she got from selling my mobile phone.  But then I realized my parents didn't raise me to this bad person.  So even if we were suppose to go home and I still have the mobile phone with me.  I called her up and I gave back the phone to her.


"Here's your phone,  Ingat ka."... I said.

That's also when I realized that even if you give everything to help a person.  You really can't trust anybody completely. 


I ended our friendship right there and then.  I never talked to her and even now if I can see her adding me up in facebook. (the nerve).  I realized that I'm more fortunate than her because I have my  well-manners, good parents, hard-working love-ones, and I still have my conscience.  That's the most important thing here.
