HONESTY RULES!

For once I am going to write something positive about my life.

I lost my passbook as I was on my way to the bank. I was panicking and crying because my life's savings are in that passbook and I needed to withdraw a certain amount of money because I had to go to my OB-Gyne for a follow-up check-up and I might spend some mooney not only for the consultation fee, but also for the ultrasound (P550.00 at AMDC) and in case the same problem came up, medications. My cat Sparky, aproached me and stayed by my side but before you say how sweet he is, he left since he knows that he won't get any attention from a crying human female.

When my parents arrived, I told them what happened. I called the bank (at their suggestion) and told them to close the account and create a new one. So I rushed to the bank and had my passbook replaced with a new one. I went to the doctor and was informed by the receptionist that the doctor would arrive later in the afternoon and so would the sonologist (which arrived at 2:30p.m.). So I went home again.

As I was waiting for a jeepney or a taxi to arrive, a man in a blue jacket and jeans approached me. He is thin and has a moustache. He asked me if I was the one who has a bank passbook missing. I said yes and it turns out that he was the one who found the passbook. Good thing I asked the storekeeper at one of stores on the road (because the owner knows our family). The owner must have known this man so he told him that the passbook was mine. I ran back and claimed the passbook. The man said that even if there is money he would still return it. I am grateful but skeptical at what he said. But I thanked him for finding my passbook, though it won't be used since I already replaced it.

So there, honesty is the best policy and I got good karma.
