damn it! i got my phone back.. haha.. both a good and bad thing. apparently, my mom got it back from the cab driver a couple days ago.. but that sneaky mom of mind kept it and only returned it today when i was bugging her to go get me a new one while we were at orchard.. oh well.. no new phone.. not for 5 months at least.. but at least i didn't lose all the numbers in my phone book.. haha
