Hello peeps!! I have a good news. My ultrasound result showed that my ovarian cyst reduced from 9 cm to 6 cm. Also, I did not pay my ultrasound.Usually it would cost around 25$ or more. But the bad news is my 18 karat necklace with 1.49 ( gold) gram crucifix pendant was snatched while I was at the bus stop.along Taft avenue , Manila. I do not wear expensive jewelry I only keep it in a small vault but that day I wanted to hold onto that crucifix while undergoing ultrasound.Because of my abnormal uterus the ultrasound takes about 10 -15 minutes. Before it was snatched, I had second thoughts whetherb would wait on the bus stop or not. It was like.I had a premonition already. I saw a bus bound from.Manila to Alabang, I thought I should get on the bus so I could leave the area right away.Few seconds later, I felt someone hit my nape.And there my necklace was gone.I even saw the culprit but unfortunately i did not see his face.He was a juvenile wearing black.shirt and shorts. He hurriedly flew off and was almost got hit by a bus. I was surprised how fast he was able ran away with my necklace. God bless his soul.

'God bless his soul'??? My reaction would be 'May the devil take him'! Good news about the cyst though.

If there is something I would not say is "God bless his soul". He is a thief and the fact to rob a crucifix will bring him bad luck.

He surely must have needed that necklace more than you did but what an awful thing to have happen after your good news for the day.

well, think of that as the one to take the bad luck out. It is better that jewelry was snatched rather than a life or health was taken away from you. Maybe that kid has more needs than you. That is how I and my family deal with bad luck

I was thankful he only took my necklace.If it were my bag I would not know what i would do because my medical records were in the bag, and also my license and ID.

That`s awful, i will feel so violated if someone did that to me. We do not have many thieves here and it`s usually safe to walk around even if you are alone even past midnight. Im really sorry

I'm sorry to hear about your necklace. I tend to use only silver accessories whenever I'm in Manila to be safe. Maybe he did needed it more than you did as it seems you had good news about your cyst and that you didn't have to pay for your ultrasound. It's good to see that you are looking on the bright side of this. Stay strong.

Never mind, at least, you've learned your lesson. I always dress like a pauper everytime I go out so as not too attract thieves.

This thing also happened with my mom when i was in 8th standard. My brother was driving scooter and me and my was sitting at the back sit. Suddenly a biker came from behind and snatched my mom's a gold chain in a flash and disappeared in a dark.We could not do anything on that Dark Night but screaming "Thief...Thief...Thief" ..no one was there to listen us.
