While many may opt to just keep mum about embarrassing experiences about their financials, I chose to share this experience with you baghags. Why? Because it is actually way too embarrassing NOT to share!! If there really was an “Oh-my-Gawd-please-take-me-from-this-cruel-world” moment, this has to take the cake! *Dies of embarrassment*
So here goes… There’s little ol’ me, strutting my stuff, carrying my LV cherry blossom papillon (which hasn’t seen daylight in 5 months) and going so boldly over to the House of Louis Vuitton with no money, take note (cash in wallet: Php 700). But bah, I had NO plans to buy anything (take even bigger note). I just wanted to snoop around and check out the Monogram Riveting bag. Saw the bag. Cute but not me. Sooo after checking it out, I ended up sitting down (so comfortably I might add) and leafing through the LV Bible (I was killing time actually). Oh nothing much, just wanted to see what I missed at home when I leaf through My bible, if I hadn’t already memorized everything from cover to cover. *Muwahaha I could’ve very well done this at home, but chose to do it within the imposing confines of THE house of monogram*.
Oh my Lawrd, something caught my eye. A jewelry case. Called the Poche- Monte Carlo. While I may not have any fine jewelry worth bragging about, I do have a little treasure trove of faux *and proud* fashion accessories that need to be “housed” in a nicer place during travel (I end up dumping my little things in the free Sephora toiletries bag). Price tag of the Monte Carlo? Don’t ask (seriously, let’s not go there).
Needless to say, I ended up wanting it badly enough to fork over my dear old credit card (yeah more airline miles!!) to pay for the darned thing. So my SA rang it up, but came back with my card “Sorry ma’am, but the machine says not to honor your card”. I was flabbergasted. Holy SHEEEEET. Have I reaaaallly spent wayyyy too much this time?? I forked over another card. And the SAME thing happened. BOTH my credit cards got declined!! Oh my Gawd at that time I wished the ground would swallow me up whole. I was like, “NOOOOO friggin’ waaaaay!!!!”.
Anyway, here’s the “prize” *cough, if you can still call it a Prize…*.
*Muwahaha bag slave for life* This is what I got for selling my soul to the financial demons! The bigger question is, How did thebaghag pay for this?!
What on EARTH happened to thebaghag’s credit cards??? Is thebaghag really suffering from serious financial trouble? Will thebaghag need to be bailed out of debt by DH/DM or whoever wants to help?
And oh my, so close to Valentines’ Day too!! *SHOCK*
Stay tuned 😀

You rock our world, MrsT! Just when we were going through a day of boredom at the office do you come up with a story so ridiculously funny, even our boss had to stop and tell us about the story! This is something that happens to a lot of people but you only had the gals to talk about it while others would love to talk of how well endowed their bank accounts are. Shit happens even to good people, MrsT and like we all say, YOU ROCK!!!! You deserve a new bag for good behavior and honesty!!
hahaha.. your Credit Card company proably thought your cards have been stolen due to excessive spendings and put a block on it!
