A Christmas Slashing Story
Posted by mamie ami on December 18, 2007
Today, the seventh day before Christmas, I went on a last minute shopping for clothes and gifts for the children’s Christmas party this week. I was holding my bag tightly, afraid that thieves will attempt to open its top zipper and look what they (he, she or it) did:
Unfortunately for them, luck… or more appropriately, my guardian angel was on my side. My valuables were on the side that was not slashed: celphones, wallet and my purchased clothes. I was about to eat my lunch at McDonalds on the second floor of the mall in this city, when I noticed my sagada-woven pencil case popping out of the side of my bag. Before my mind can figure out what had happened I felt through inside my bag and yes, everything was still there. Haaayy!! McDO value meal didn’t taste much better than today’s lunch. Yummy!
So it was the thief who was malas and I was definitely swerte.. Today, I realized that even if I no longer have a 13th month pay to expect nor a bonus cash gift from the office, I still have my blessings. No matter how simple like unconsciously getting away with those demonic mandurukots slash slashers, I still always have my share of blessings. Mas magaling pa rin ang Diyos ko kesa sa diyos nila. (MY God is still much better than their gods.)
Friends, it’s still Merry Christmas and I wish all of you a meaningful one:
