Bug In the Bag

The Culprit!

I don’t change bags as often as others do.  Well, maybe because I am unlike fashionistas who treat bags as part of their accessories by trying to match their bags with the clothes they are wearing.  I, on the other hand, would only change bags when: a) the bag is already badly-damaged; &/or, b) its damage is already obvious; &/or, c) my mama nags me to change bag; or, d) aota (all of the above).

Don’t get me wrong.  It’s not that I am short of bags.  In fact, I have a half-closet full of bags (donated, of course, by sister).  Some of which I already want to dispose by selling it or simply just give it away.  I just don’t like the idea of providing space in my closet for something that I rarely use.

Well, this post is not about bags.  It’s just that the magnetic strip of my atm card has been recently damaged.  And I’m blaming my newly-changed Liz Clairborne bag for that.  It was only later that I suspected that the magnet in the bag maybe the cause.

Good thing, my other atm cards as well as all my credit cards were not affected at all by the said magnet.  I guess something is wrong with that issuing bank’s card magnetic strip as it was not the first time that I had my card replaced due to the same reason.

Lesson learned:  never take for granted those items that are sensitive to magnets.  Or shall I just change bags, again???!!!
