Wallets (First. Post. Ever.)

I recently bought a new wallet to replace my old one (I do not know whether my old wallet is genuine or faux leather but since it was bought cheap let's assume it's faux) from Natasha. My old wallet has become tattered, crumbly and stinky. Nevertheless it has served me well. It was after all, the temporary lodging place of the millions of pesos I earned from years past. 

Farewell, O Nirvana of Ephemeral Medium of Exchange!

One thing that came to mind while I was searching for this here wallet's worthy replacement is that this accessory holds your important shit - money, IDs, condoms and your suki card from those "hotels" in Pasig. So the wallet that I must choose must above all be safe from pickpockets. You see, my old wallet was a long black one that became stylish years ago. Whenever I put it in my back pocket it sticks out of my ass. And living in the city, we are all aware how a mere sight of someone else's wallet attracts Dhalsim-like larcenists like a zombie horde.

I was in a hurry (as all important, busy men are) so I had no time to be whiny about it. I chose a black leather wallet (again, no telling whether it's genuine or not as yours truly is not a leather connoisseur) from McJim worth 50 thousand pesos.

The way it bulges you could tell that inside of it is a thick wad of cash - and lots of hot air in between.

I chose a black one again because almost all of my  accessories are black. Black always looks classy and elegant. The same goes with a black leather wallet - it will look good with anything you're wearing, be it khakis, jeans or slacks. You can use it while wearing formal or casual clothing. You could even stuff it in your butt crack when you're naked.

P.S.

My lolo once told me about the virtues of keeping the first old and beaten wallet. You could use it as a decoy so that  you could hide your real income from the authorities (your wife) and the less fortunate (beggars and would-be debtors). Needless to say, my lolo is a wise man.
