VDay = Very Bad Day

late post for vday but i still want to share my experience.
I woke up early that day to prepare breakfast for my swity. He was on a night shift so we planned to eat breakfast together as our vday celebration. Also I had an 8:00am meeting so I hurried to catch the next shuttle going to makati. When I reached the shuttle terminal, (1st bad luck) I stumbled on a broken aisle and almost dived into the ground. Gladly I was able to grabbed on the girl in front of me and managed not to fall. On my embarassment, I just went inside the van and didn't care if it was the shuttle van that we usually avoid. (2nd) When I got seated, the girl seated right next to me step on my foot. That time, I already felt that it was not a good day. I prayed not to experience it the entire day but it didn't happen. (3rd) When we were in NAIA, I realized that our trip is slow. It was the van the we don't ride much because the driver drives very slow and alway grumpy to the passengers when asked to stop. I knew then I won't be able to make it to my meeting.
(4th) Our shuttle route continued until we passed the south super flyover along edsa. Suddenly... the guy in front shouted 'HOLDAP to! diretso mo lang!'. Four of the passengers were holdapers, 3 of them was holding a gun. They've asked for our cellphones.. money.. jewelries. They personally checked each and every bag (every zipper!) of the passengers for any valuables. Before the holpader asked for my bag, I was able to remove my wedding ring and necklace and dropped it inside. I was just glad the holdaper didn't digged much into my it and find my ring. But sad to say he got my IPOD (waahhh!!). After they got everything, they left the van in the overpass near Petron - Taguig C5 area.
We reported the incident to the Taguig police station but there was nothing else we can do to recover what was taken from us. We are just hoping that they will be caught and pay the consequences they've done. The description of the bad guys: all of them were thin, brown complexion, has tattoo in their left hand. One of them looks 35 to 45 year old then 3 of them looks like in 20 to 30 year old. They dressed like normal passengers (office attire; polo shirts and jeans).
At around 11 am, I finally reached the office and talked a bit about the experience to some my collegues. After 20 mins, my lunch buddy kitkat called me to have our ID pictures taken. (5th) When it was my turn, the laptop rebooted. It took several mins to have it worked. Is it me or it is really me??? Oh well.. at about 2:30 pm we decided to just take the day off because I was not able to focus on my work. (6th) But before we went home, Hubi and I dropped by in evangelista because his side of window was stucked open. The power window was not working since the night before. He parked the car since 10pm to 3pm (vday) with the window open. So much for a bad day...
