for me yes... im just so happy thisday for i got my wallet back its just yester when i lost it.. i dont know how and where i lost it...i was already inside the jeepney after i discover that 've lost my money... i was about to get some coins for my fare but i just ca't find and grab my wallet i don't what to do.. im just so lucky for theres a girl who happens to be my schoolmate, were not friends actually., i approached her and ask a favor if she could let me borrow 5 peso bill for the fare..im so thankfull for she believe in me and give me 5.. i never hope to get my wallet back.. but when i went back school my friend approach me and ask me if i really lost my wallet,and he said there is a student who surrender a wallet to him and it happened to be wallet.. and even though i lost my 90 peso bill im still so thankful coz i get back my very important nameplateand my birth certificate...

i lost my wallet to a pick-pocket somewhere in manila. it had all my treasures in it. not money coz i only had a handful of bills there, but it contained my driver's lisence, graduation pictures of my barkada, IDs... you know what i mean. a year later, somebody called me and told me he has my wallet and wants to return it to me. at first i was shocked coz it was already a year since it got lost. the first thing that came to my mind was that it could be the same guy who stole it so i hung up the phone on him. the next 2 weeks, several other guys tried calling me claiming that he has my wallet and wants to return it. until finally, one of them caught my attention. coz the reason why he wants to return it is because he wants to meet one of my friends whose picture happens to be in my wallet! so i talked to this guy on the phone and eventually felt i could trust him. to make a long story short, i met up with him. well, we ended up becoming boyfriend-girlfriend and now, we're happily married with 2 beautiful kids. if that's not the hand of fate working there, i don't know what is. :-) so our song is "love moves in mysterious ways" the original by julia fordham, not the fake one by that local singer...

hi! i don't really hate her. i just don't like the way she sang it as her own and actually brought it to mainstream, making it so popular locally without many pinoys knowing that it's NOT HERS. i'm not sure though if she acknowledged in her album that she's only doing a cover version of it and that it's a julia fordham original coz i never bothered checking. anyway, i'll give her the benefit of the doubt.

My wallet was stolen before. I told myself that I would never made the same mistake again. So I pay attention to it and it won't happen again. I hope I can get it back but actually it won't be returned.

a couple of years ago,I dropped my wallet in a small store while out xmas shopping. I had it upon entering the store but when I got to the counter with an armful of stuff, my wallet was gone. There was only a few other customers but no one spoke up. I lost all my xmas money and a lot of faith in people that day. I waited for weeks for my licence to be mailed back to me as my wallet also had a book of stamps in it. I no longer carry more than a few dollars in cash. live and learn ...right?

yeah we should learn from our experience.. maybe im just so lucky to get my wallet back even without the bill inside it..and maybe if its stolen, the robber just don't need those important stuffs for me inside it, the robber maybe need money so badly that time, and bad for him/her its my wallet that he / she choose to get coz it only had a very small amount of bill that leads him to hell..

For me, maybe yes and maybe no. Usually, when you lost your wallet it is not expected to be be back. But in your case im happy for you.
