The Bad
My girlfriend got mugged… again. This is the second time it’s happened (we weren’t together the first time around) 1 When I say “weren’t together,” I mean we weren’t in a relationship then, but this is the first time she got hurt. Cut to be precise. There’s really nothing much else to do but wish very bad mojo on those who did the deed: if I were allowed to put a curse on them, I’d curse them to remain the sorry POOR PEASANTS they are for the rest of their miserable lives. As an added bonus, I hope they get into an accident, and not be able to treat their injuries because of their poverty. Should I be allowed to strip all morality aside, then I’d wish the same on everyone they hold dear for good measure.
The Good
The wounds were superficial, but I picked her up and took her to the nearest hospital to get some Tetanos shots to be on the safe side. Her friends also seemed to be doing a good job in cheering her up while I was on my way. I loved what one of them said:
mugger (after taking cellphone): Ngayon akin na buhok mo!
She just had her hair cut (shorter than my hair) during the weekend, so everyone was surprised to see her with short hair. That joke cracked me up.
Thanks to her resistance, only her cellphone was taken – but she was cut because of it. I’m still undecided wether or not it was worth being cut over. Should she have just given them everything and walked away unscathed?

To answer your last question, I’m inclined to say the answer is yes. It’s happened twice I think to my sister and once to my fiance. Both at knife point. Yung ate ko mejo matibay kaya di sya masyado na-traumatize. Pero si Ces na-rattle sobra, eh natutok lang sa kanya yung knife. I can only imagine if she was actually cut. Shet. I feel your anger towards the bastards who did this.
