today, i have every reason to celebrate!

today was an affirmation that doing good deeds indeed has its payback. i was at sm bacoor earlier in the day. i saw a movie with some friends. got out. found sm bacoor stuffy (plenty of peeps!) and so decided to go to moa (mall of asia) for some late christmas shopping.

at the parking lot of moa, i discovered that my wallet was not in its usual place — my backpocket! darn! i looked under the driver’s seat, the glove compartment and closed console between the driver’s seat and the front passenger seat. nada! called one of our staff at the house and told her to look for my wallet in my bedroom. nada! the things around me began to spin widly.

my friend insisted we went back to sm bacoor. told her everything’s lost so why bother. everything’s lost and i was not really keen on the idea that we can still recover everything. but she insisted. so back to sm bacoor we went!  

the trip back took us about an hour and a half due to the usual christmas rush and saturday coastal road traffic. i was silent all the way back. my whole christmas just slipped by right before my eyes. worst, the slightest road mishap meant i was liable since i was driving without a driver’s license.

got back to the moviehouse. the usher told my friend the cleaners had just finished cleaning the moviehouse and no wallet was reported found. she insisted on looking up the place where we sat earlier. a guard armed with a flashlight accompanied her. when she got to the place, lo and behold! there’s my black bally leather wallet lying on the floor, seemingly undisturbed and untouched. whew! thank you God, everything’s intact!

and thank you to the cleaners for not doing their job properly! hahaha.

i love shoemart!
