Stories That Won…Sympathy?
December 6, 2008, I received a 2009 Planner as a prize raffled to me for telling a Story.
It was Team Fernandez’ Christmas Party and everyone was asked to volunteer their “most palpak” experience while doing or building the business. The prize was that precious 24k worth of 2009 Planner.
I volunteered my story which happened on November 20, 2008.(Scene of Incident, Medessence Spa,Tagum City, DAVAO dEL nORTE.Case, Robbery with Hold Up. Assailant, UNidentified Armed Man.Victim, two pretty lawyers.LOL)
In the midst of rebonding my hair and while showing the forex trading plan to my lady lawyer friend named Jenny who by the way owned the Spa, a robber entered the salon and announced a HOld-UP. He brandished a revolver gun and carted away our cell phones and bags (which actually contained our precious identifications, cash and my pldt weroam.that’s why im waxing this blog entry in an internet cafe nearby.wink). There were only three of us in the salon, Jenny, me and the hairstylist.
It happened so fast.I thought of fighting or resisting the robber but I have no gun. No amount of Marine-ated training will do in facing an assailant with a gun while what you have was- just an experimental Kung Fu!lol. I was thinking, to hell with that bag if I bet my life on it.. and one thing, I looked like a mess with that straightening chemicals on my hair. Not a great photo ops for a local Lucy Lu wannabe.Hehe
I was on vacation at that time, on leave from work for two weeks. It was a day of my life which I can never forget. We were on the news and radio reports the next day. The headline shouted ” 2 ABOGADO NA-HOLD UP”. Now, everyone knew i was in town..and the robber should get a shiver, he held up the lawyer of the Governor of the province and yes, me, a military officer. Hehe.
