Letter From a Reader: Insects in My Cereals

Dear Fashion PULIS,

When I opened this box of cereals that I bought from this supermarket located somewhere in Quezon City, I was surprised to see insects inside it. This was not actually the first time it happened to me. In both cases, it involved the same brand of cereals.

The first time this happened to me, I immediately returned the box of cereals to the supermarket and was issued a credit receipt.  I wanted to speak to the manager but the customer service representative told me that he was busy at that moment. To prove my point, I opened the box of cereals in front of her and when she saw the insects coming out of the box, she was not surprised at all. I even informed her that I went to check the shelves and saw that there were other boxes with the same problem but she did not seem to mind at all.

A few months later, the same incident happened to me. This time around, I insisted to speak to the manager. In an attempt to prove that my case was perhaps an isolated one, the manager instructed one of his staff to get a new box of cereals from the shelves. When he opened it in front of me, he was horrified when he saw the insects crawling out of the box. To save his face, he immediately ordered his staff to pull out this brand of cereals from the shelves. 

The manager apologized to me and gave me a credit receipt. He said that was the best he could do. I understood what he meant so I just requested him to give me the email addresses of the supermarket management and the company that produced the said cereal. I sent them emails months ago and until now,  I have not heard a word from any one of them.

Thank you FP for posting my letter. I just want to warn your readers to be more careful with the things that put in their shopping cart.

Thank you,
Brownie

Spotted: On a Date with an Old Foreign Guy

Last night, I spotted this celebrity on date with a old foreigner guy at Kai Japanese Restaurant in Greenbelt. If you take a good look at the second picture, you will see the foreigner kissing the model on the lips. I guess this model enjoys dating foreigners who are way older than she because last year, she was photographed frolicking on a yacht with her high profile date who was twice her age. Do you know who she is?

Letter From a Reader: Still No Signal!

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I would like share my bad experience with this certain cable company. Last May, when I was at the mall, the sales people of this cable company convinced me to sign up with them. Upon completing the application for our rest house in Tagaytay, I immediately settled the installation fee.

A few days later, the crew came to my rest house in Tagaytay and asked for the installation payment from my dad who was there at that time. Since my dad did not know I already paid for it previously, he paid them again. Moving forward, when my parents went to the rest house the following weekend and noticed that the cable was still not working.

When my parents told me about this, I immediately called to company's Cavite office to check on the status. I was able to talk with a Miss EM and she advised me that I still have to submit some documents to complete the application. I took note of her instructions and and submitted the necessary requirements. 

A week later when I was at the rest house, I was shocked that there was still NO SIGNAL. When I did a follow up, I was advised again to send the documents that I already submitted. 

This has become so frustrating. We paid for the installation fee twice and we have repeatedly submitted the documents that they are asking from us. Every time I call them, they passed me around to different agents for the past 5 months and honestly none of them could help me solve this problem.

Thank you for posting my letter. More power to you.

Yours truly,

AJY

Letter From a Reader: The Ugly Birds Cake

Image of the actual cake

Dear Fashion PULIS, 

My mother got this deal a few weeks ago on line in time for my brother's birthday. From the ordering to the reserving of the cake, it turned out to be a major disappointment. The cake company was so hard to contact and the staff won't even reply to our texts messages.

It was even worse when we picked up the cake. It was so ugly and it looked so different from the photo that was advertised online. My 11-year-old brother, who is a big crybaby , was really upset when he saw his cake.

We also ordered the cake pops which were sticking to the plastic. The sticks came off and we had to place them on top of another cake. I tried one and it tasted like uncooked cake dough.
I hope this serves as a warning to the people who also got this deal. Please be more cautious in availing promos because pictures can really be deceiving.

Thank you very much FP! God bless.

Yours truly,

Jen Ngo

Her Ex is Now My Guy

Do you remember my post last Tuesday about this actress who managed to date two men simultaneously? It was a story about this wealthy businessman who left this actress after he discovered that she was two-timing him.

Well, after the wealthy businessman recovered from his heartbreak, his friend who works for the network introduced him to another actress. On his first date with this actress, he wasted no time and asked her about this certain actor who was being linked to her. When the actress heard this question, she laughed so hard and told him that the actor he was referring is not interested with her because he has other preferences.

Since then, the wealthy businessman and this actress have been dating each other for a few months now. Recently, he gave her a one carat diamond ring and even brought her shopping abroad. I am sure that the two-timing actress will be very envious if she hears about this.

Do you who this actress is? Please observe the guidelines in writing comments. Keep in mind that initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

Letter From a Reader: Don't Go There In Case of Emergency

Image courtesy of www.emergencysigns.com

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I would like to share my frustration with this certain hospital. My 6 month old daughter has been vomiting for 2 days and upon the advice of her pediatrician, we brought her to the emergency room of certain hospital for blood test.

Our problem started the moment we stepped in emergency room. We waited for more than an hour for a blood test procedure that could have been over in a few minutes. I approached the staff from time to time to follow up if someone was already available to do the procedure but everyone was just too busy.  

When I asked the nurses as to why it is taking them so long, they repeatedly told me that there was only one medical technician on duty. I understand that it was a Sunday, but there were more than 50 patients in the pedia section alone.  How could they afford to have only one person taking blood from all these patients? 

After waiting for more than an hour, we eventually got fed up and demanded to be released from this hospital. When we arrived in this newly built hospital in the neighboring city, the staff immediately attended to my daughter and gave her all the necessary tests. 

Fashion PULIS, I am writing to you so that you readers will know better not to go to the first hospital that we went to in case of emergency. If they do so, they will have to wait in line before they get the proper medical attention. 

Thank you very much. More power to FP!

Yours truly,

Rachel

Spotted: The Actor and His Good Looking Date

This actor (in light colored shirt) was spotted somewhere in Greenhills with a good looking non showbiz guy (in dark colored shirt) last Sunday. While walking to the venue, one of them was walking a few meters in front of the other so as not to attract attention. Is it possible that the two of them were dating?

Cause of His Distraction Part 2

In an attempt to appease his wife, the husband suggested that they renew their wedding vows the day before the event. In fact, a pastor was already on standby in the living room of the suite, ready to conduct the ceremony but the wife refused. 

When things became heated between the husband and the wife, the conditioning coach intervened and advised the husband to just focus on the upcoming event. This was when the husband lost his temper and threw his mobile phone that broke the glass in the room.

After the broken glass incident, the husband calmed down and asked for forgiveness. He promised his wife that he will stop seeing the mother of the baby. He requested her though to leave the baby alone because he is innocent.

Letter From a Reader: Unethical Practices Make Me Feel Bad

Image courtesy of www.troll.me

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I am a customer of this aesthetic center for quite some time. I have friends who have worked there and I have also tried their treatments. Definitely, there are no problem with their treatments. They can be really effective provided that you stick to what they ask you to do (i.e. right diet, and lifestyle). There are times however when the treatments prescribed to you would no longer work because your body has been so used to them. Once this happens, they then start selling newer, more expensive treatments. I have no issues with spending money for my beautification but I felt very bad since I discovered that this the unethical practices of this center.

From time to time, this center has sales promotion that tricks you into buying a big bulk of treatments. Sometimes they ask you to buy in bundles. They promise you that they have a tracker system so that you would know how many treatments you have consumed. However, one time I was surprised when my beauty consultant informed me that that my treatments were almost used up. I know for a fact hat I have only consumed half of the treatments that I bought since I also have my own record. 

When I told her about this, she insisted that she was right and I was wrong. She showed me her "tracker" and started pushing this "new" product that they have. She told me that this "new" product could help me better with my problem areas. I was shocked with how she could lie straight to my face so I did my own investigation. 

Apparently, I found out from friends who work in the center that they give out the clients' treatments as free treatments to walk-in clients. Everyone who has signed up with this center knows that they have a free treatment at the start, but beware, these treatments where paid for by the other clients. I work hard for my money and I believe I deserve to get the treatment I paid for. I believe it is my own choice if I want to give them away or not.

Another thing that I found out is that they short-change your treatment time. Instead of the 45 minute treatment, they sometimes cut down the time to 30 minutes instead. You can tell if a therapist is new because is she is new, the treatment time is normally longer.

I am writing to you because I had enough. I complained to them but they kept insisting that they are right and I am wrong that why I want to warn your readers who go to this center. Whether you're very rich, or just the regular office worker who saved enough just so you could avail of treatments, no one is safe.

Thank you for publishing this letter. I will have to remain anonymous because I do not want to jeopardize the people who helped me secured this information. I hope they realize that we all have bills to pay and any form of cheating is not right. Sales is a dirty business, but at the end of the day, we should at least stay true to our values. 

Your truly,

Jennifer

Cause of His Distraction Part 1

Do you remember the controversial Christening that was all over the news a few weeks ago? According to a reliable source, it was a relative of the baby's mother who informed the wife about this. This relative even opted for cash instead of the expensive bag that the wife was initially offering as the reward. 

After receiving this piece of information, the wife decided to hire private investigators. She later discovered from them that her husband and the baby's mother have already been together for more than two years. He also built a house for the baby's mother somewhere near his place of work so that it will be more convenient for him. The wife was even more upset when she learned that her husband used his personal check to pay for the baby's baptism.

Apart from the baby's mother, she also found out from the private investigators that her husband is also seeing two other women. One of them is this girl from the province who also has a child with her husband. The other is this certain starlet who also received a new house from her husband as a gift.

The wife was very disturbed when she received these pieces of information. Initially, she did not want to attend her husband's event anymore but her friends talked her out of it. In fact, instead of staying in her husband's suite, she opted to share a room with some friends. She even told these friends that will not file for an annulment yet because she has to make sure that her children's future is secured.

Many friends of the family have observed that the wife has been extra cold to the husband lately. They even had an argument the day before the event. Could this be one of the reasons why the husband was distracted during the event? What do you think?
