losing identity

Just got this from my draft.. I was supposed to post this last July 20. Thanks God, I just got to be busy because of our wedding that I got over this, or forgot this experience easily. Tuloy ko lang ang kwento neh?

Last Saturday, I was supposed to meet up some friends for a dinner in Glutton's Bay. While waiting for them to arrived the area, I spent it doing my fave-and-free pasttime- shopping.

After buying one yellow blouse at "Sixties" in City Link Mall, I roamed around at Mango in Marina Square. After fitting another yellow blouse (again?), I accidentally left my pouch in the fitting room with my super-new SE W960i phone, credit and atm cards, my Employment-pass card, my Employee ID, my EZ link, and 40$, which happened to be the only cash I got. Blame it to my small bag, that I hesitated to bring my big and thick wallet. Blame it to my my being shopaholic which I usually denies. Blame it to my forgetfullness. Blame it to my carelessness. Never in my life I've been to a situation that I feel I don't have an identity, gosh! all my IDs are there... Buti na lang marunong akong mag-english, if not? Saan ako pupulutin?

But I realized, God does not entirely take away everything. I still have Arnold. I still have brothers and sisters around. Before trying to call the one who "got" my identity, (that she never answered), and before I called the banks to have my cards terminated and M1 to have my line disconnected, I called Arnold. He's actually at work then, and so-worried he said that he'd gonna pick me up at Mango after he finished what he was doing in one hotel. The next time I tried, I couldn't contact him na. Though I trust Arnold that whatever happens, he's gonna pick me up, I called our other friends rin for help. Gosh talaga!!! I never imagined that this is gonna happen to me, sa Singapore pa!

Anyway, it's done. Lessson learned: (1) magdala ng malaking bag if needed, wag pa-girl. (2) wag pagsama-samahin ang ID's, cards and money sa isang lalagyan (3) wag gawing addiction ang shopping. I guess the hardest thing to practice out of this three is the third one. Wahhh!!

Yung lang po. bow.
