Of Camels and Thanksgiving

I'm reminded of a quote (ok, it's more of a curse) that I read/or saw in a movie a long time ago. God knows I enjoy watching movies as much as the next person and have read waaay too many books so forgive me if I can't remember where I got it. hehe Anyway here it goes "May the fleas of a thousand camels infest the armpits/crotch of your enemy". I try not to curse at all but that's exactly how I feel towards the person/people who broke into our apartment last weekend. ;p

Nope, I'm not kidding. Someone broke into our apartment at around 3:00 early last weekend and got my sister's cellphone and MY stash of money that should have lasted me 'til the end of the month. Yish. Of all the days that it had to happen; it JUST had to happen on the month of my birthday! It's one thing to steal from the rich (do i hear the Merry Men singing?) but man does it suck if your budget for the month gets swiped. Aaaarggghh

At times like this; I really wish there were Camels in the Philippines! It's hot enough here isn't it? Haaay The people from the Barangay do have their usual suspects but so far nothing's turned up. Well except that they mentioned that the robber/s probably live nearby. Great. Really great. So now we've intstalled a bolt and lock in our door. AND we're having a deadbolt lock installed too (that is as soon as our landlady shapens up and gets the carpenter to drop by). Naman O!!

I guess I do have a couple of things to be grateful for despite everything:
1. We weren't harmed physically when this happened.
2. I had to reconsider how I budget my money and find out that I could actually live with less. (Yey!)
3. FINALLY be able to trim down as I'll be on "diet" mode. (Sana totoo 'to ;p)
4. I blogged about something after a long long time hehe :D

Now, all I have to do is stop myself from suspecting every other shady person who hangs out near our place. ;p

Keep safe everyone :D
