saturday--October 15,2011, I was out from my 3am to 12noon shift and i was standing at the curbside in Kalayaan to wait for an FX (it's an FX used as a PUV) for me to go home and finally relax for the weekend. It didn't take long for me to hail a PUV and to hop in. I sat at the back. We were driving along Edsa OverPass when a stranger infront of me slowly showed his gun out. It took awhile for me to register what's happening since i was plugged into LM.C. That was the first time I ever felt fear for my life since the stranger was already pointing his gun at us screaming his lungs out for our phones. I was still deliberating on what to do, however, all the defenses i've learned could not be used on a tight space at the back of an FX. Plus the fear, would really make your thoughts a bit disoriented. It was 12noon. Deymit! Who would have thought someone would do something bad at the time when the sun is on it's highest point?!! The first reaction i gave when he pointed his gun was "Totoo ba yan?!" because the gun was too shiny i thought it was fake. And so I caught the robber's attention and he said, "Ba't d ko kea ihampas toh xeo at nang makita mong totoo toh?!" of course all the expletives deleted. His focus went back to the other passenger. His original target. Because that passenger had an iphone. I had time to steal the moment to quickly hide my omnia which was on display that time. We were nearing Ayala where a MAPSA (traffic enforcer) was making his rounds at the side of the road so the perpetrator already rushed us to give us all the phones we had. He must have been an amateur. Without a blink, I gave him my Cherry Mobile d12. It was a phone i bought for 900php. Pawnshops don't even accept it. I couldn't even find a buyer for it since i was thinking of selling it. He went out after purging out our phones. But he never got the phone that was precious to me. hahahah! when i got home, i called my globe number and voila it was still ringing. I texted my number and hoped the robber read it. I texted a curse. hahahah! lol!
