the entry about a string of unfortunate events

call me a lummox and i have no case of defense against it. within the span of 24 hours, i have successfully managed to cinch the following: 

1. lose $200 cash from my wallet, a guesstimate
2. misplace my cashcard, which i had just topped up, another 50 buckeroos gone down the drain
3. getting a ticket from the parking pontianak for leaving my car unattended
4. dropping my iphone into the doldrums of the toilet bowl

to top that off, the antennae that stuck out the top of my car was carefully unscrewed and pilfered by god-knows-who. well, technically speaking, it might not have been that very day the wiry rod was stolen, but i am just gonna lump it all together to make my day sound even worse. 

this devil-may-care attitude of mine has led me to lose more than a grand worth of cash and items within that very jinxed day. imagine what i could have bought with that! but instead, here i am at the local mobile store reluctantly scouring for a new cell phone. i settled upon what i would dub as minimalist chic:

(kp) *psyching myself up* i love my life, i love my life!!!

(chaos) the phone packs a punch in terms of looks, but in terms of performance, it fails badly. kinda slow and laggy.

(jnkl) yeah, iphone's the best!!!

(cedric) unfortunately, i am stuck with this phone already. but don't ever get it, unless you wanna be stuck with a 286.

(noise) pay my bills, pay my automobiles. destiny's child!

(kp) i always wear a smile whenever i can. that explains the laughing lines appearing along the edges of my eyes. dang! i gotta stop smiling.

iruffcookiedough said...

(rex) don't get this phone!!!! it looks nice, but it sucks in terms of speed and user-friendliness!

(jnkl) well, i am going to lie low because 1. i have been under the weather and 2. bills bills bills!!! haha!

(anon) thanks! i hope so too! hope you have a great weekend ahead!

(763092) hey, you know what, i DID leave my phone in the cab a moment ago. thankfully, the cab driver was honest enough to bring the phone back to my residence. speaking of which, i think i should do a sequel on my nephew. it's been almost half a year. time flies!

(z) you know what they say. bad things happen all in a row. hopefully that doesn't happen in future to me, or you as well! ^^

(km) resign to fate ? no i shan't, i shall fight for what's mine. hehe. stubborn, ain't i?

iruffcookiedough said...

(anon) unfortunately, i am catholic, so i can't really go to the temples, though i know this isn't a very good year for goats. i am still a little "pan tang"
