ONE HELL OF A LUCKY LADY
I can almost imagine the color draining from my face when I realized my purse was nowhere in the car. I made a quick U-turn before I completely exited the complex and went back to the parking lot. I couldn't make a more emphatic statement than a horizontally parked car spanning the width of 3 parking spaces would regarding the state of my mind when I saw the shopping cart where I left it but not a purse in sight.
I was thinking...
my credit cards...
my debit card...
my driver's license...
my nursing license...
my phone...
what a mess!
I was running into the store when the clerk at the register saw me and said, 'Well, well! I think somebody left something in the parking lot.' And sneered.
I would have plucked his mustache one by one for the condescension in that sneer if I didn't feel like hugging him for having my purse. He asked me my name and asked me where my driver's license was in the purse and all that stuff. He said a lady walking behind me found my purse in the cart and brought it in.
'You're a hell of a lucky lady,' he said. I said, 'Thank you.' I couldn't agree more.
And to you, whoever you are, may God bless you a hundredfold for the whole of your lifetime.

buti na lang dito tayo nakatira. otherwise, goodbye purse.
agree ako ke papa j! ako, nakailang iwan na ng cellphone/wallet pero naibabalik kahit anong mangyari!! in fairness, me napupulot din ako sa parking etc so may i return din ako lagi sa customer service!
god bless those kind people! (lalo na yung nagbalik ng bag mo)
Oo nga, kung naiba-ibang lugar yan, siguro pakiramdam ko ngayon para ako'ng natalo ng libo libo dahil kay dela Hoya ako pumusta... hahaha!
Pero suwerte din talaga ako sa mga ganito. Naalala ko nangyari na rin sa akin ito sa Singapore. Naiwan ko yung wallet ko sa isang fast food (nakalimutan ko na) at talagang oras ang inabot bago ko naalala. Papunta pa naman kami ng Beijing nun at yung card kong kailangan para maglabas masok sa Singapore e andun. Nung gabi, tumawag ang pulis, may nagsoli daw ng wallet ko. At hahanga ka talaga, intact lahat pati pera.
I'm very happy to see that an honest person found your purse and turned it in. Just goes to show that there's still a lot of good people in this world. Take care.
Yes Panaderos, there's still a lot of good people around, enough to still make it worth saving this world.
