    Something that I Found

          It was 2009 when I found this phone. I tried writing about it and this is exactly what it looks like on the first attempt. I'm using my phone so its kinda difficult to write it completely until I didn't have time to finish it. (from FACEBOOK notes) 


    scary phone

    it's my lunch break 4am philippine time (1pm PST) i'm at the sleeping quarterz and i can't forget the 2nd phone that i found. At first 'm having second though of wheter to return it or not because i was so mad about my digicam that was stolen in this same room... Wait my break is almst over i'l continue later

    (07/07/2014 )
    yes, remembering my first digicam ever that I bought from my own money (proud me of being able to buy my own during the early years of working) . I had videos on my memory card that I don't want to post  (Janny Michelle if you're reading this, this is about you haha! ) then it got stolen in the sleeping quarters. 
           Going back, the feeling was different from the way it was  when I first started writing this, I was single then , now that I'm married my point of view changed.  What's on the phone anyway? pictures and a videos of a dying husband from the wife's phone . Gosh! on the title of the video it says "his last few minutes"  i don't remember the exact wordings but it's somehow the same with this. I saw it , a thin man struggling with his breath . The next thing I saw was a picture of his casket, video of his wake , burial and a  family picture  in his his grave .His children were young .  It was a heart breaking story .
          So tell me, if you're the one who found the phone are you going to return it?  I received a text message on the phone asking me to return  it because of the content. I must admit, the first time I saw those , I was scared knowing that I'm in a sleeping quarter which is cold,  dark and with lots of ghost stories . I decided to return  the phone knowing that those pictures and videos we're taken like 5-6 years or more  ago if my estimation is correct.
        I met her at the office on the following day and she said after seeing my handwoven bag , "kailyan" which means kababayan . We had a short talk since I'm getting late . We still talk and say our hello's from time to time . I remembered her saying that she have 3 kids  and it was a struggle being a single mom , that she have suitors and admits that she's using them to scare her kids to study hard or she will get married. As for the kids they're doing great at school, I heard that they have high grades and their mom is being inspired by their attitude .The oldest takes care of her younger siblings while she's away and at work, specially that we are on night shift. Night shift is not normal , people around you are out and there you are sleeping, you might not even see your housemate for a week because of this schedule. 
       That was 2009 and yet this 2014 I saw her post greeting his deceased husband a happy fathers day and his memories will not be forgotten . I feel her for I also lost some of my friends who means a lot to me. You'll never forget those people who made you feel special and did something that you'll never can repay whether dead or alive. I have a few people on my list which they may not know  of since i'm not a very vocal person when it comes to my feelings. 
          Within 2009-2013 the phone got stolen/ lost and it never came back to her. Good luck to the person who kept it .
