lost girl!

today, i lost my old cellphone (nokia 6510), and it wasn't even mine -- it was my kuya's. as usual, my mom's suggesting it could be the weird new maid (who happens to be her namesake) who suddenly asked permission yesterday to go on leave to visit her husband's grave in Bicol (!) today (!!) and be back to work the following day (!!!). Now this is close to impossible given the fact that she's always overworked ever since our 2 other helpers left this month (which nearly gave my mother a heart attack). So obviously, we didn't allow her to go.

i'm giving the maid the benefit of the doubt and asked for assistance in looking for it, stressing that it could be anywhere (translation: ilabas mo na) and she's free to look for it all day tomorrow.

i feel depressed not because i lost something valuable (although it took me an hour to fully recover from the shock) but because i realized it's difficult to find a trustworthy person these days; heck, even i couldn't trust myself.
