Ridiculous Intrusion

August 6, 2013 is the celebration of the 442^nd Cebu Province Foundation Day.  The day I arranged for recreation and enjoyment. The day I wanted to spend without any disruption or so I thought.

Good vibes embraced my morning as I received a message from my mother saying that my father will come to the city. I got up from my bed and ate my breakfast.  I hurriedly prepared myself to meet my father. It was pass lunch time when we meet at the mall then he bought me a snack. He told me to help him buy electrical supplies for the resort that he’s working now. We went to a hardware shop and bought many things.

We went back to the mall to buy new clothes and to fetch a taxi that would transport all the materials to the bus terminal. We went shopping and ate again – just the typical father and daughter bonding. After our short get together, we went back to the hardware shop and claimed the things that we bought then we headed off to the bus terminal. After all the materials were safely placed in the van, I told my father that I will go to the other bus station to get the stuffs that my mother delivered for me.

I told my father that I would just walk my way through the other bus station since the bus station was only 2 blocks away. On my way, I have encountered two scary strangers saying, “Give me your phone.” With my buffering brain cells, it took me a few seconds to be realized that those men were snatchers. Without any hesitation, I took my phone (My Phone: QTV20 DUO) and gave it to them. The snatchers made funny faces while looking at my phone and said, “WHAT KIND OF PHONE IS THIS? Here, take it. Tsss! (Sarcastic) What a phone.” After that event, I took my phone from the snatchers and went to my destination like nothing happened.

When I arrived at the dormitory, I told my roommates about the event and it became a laughingstock. That was my first experience and I didn’t know what to think of that time. Will I be scared because I was about to get snatched on broad daylight? Or will I find it funny because of what those choosy snatchers did?
