Letter From a Reader: False Promises

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I am a loyal subscriber of this telecommunication company for a long time. I am writing to you to share my frustration regarding the company's loyalty program. A customer service representative (CSR) called me last November 17, 2011 to inform me that my application to avail the iphone4g 32gb (3 years lock in with cash out around less than 3k) has been approved. The CSR even asked me as to which color I prefer, I told him it does not matter as long as I get the phone.

Five days later (November 22, 2011), I received a call from another CSR informing me that starting today, the iphone4g will no longer be available for the company's loyalty program. I freaked out when I heard this. I told them that they already made a commitment to me five days ago and that the company should honor it and give the phone to me.

I would understand if the CSR told me that there is no stock as of the moment and I just have to wait a little longer to get the phone. But no, he kept saying "I am very sorry" and "I understand your frustration Ma'am" because there was nothing he can do.

This is just so frustrating because a verbal agreement was made five days ago prior to the changes in the loyalty program and it is just so unfair that the company is not going to honor what has been promised. Thank you FP for allowing to share my disappointments. I just needed to vent out my frustration with the telecommunications company.

Yours truly,
Michelle Tan

A Nine Inch Shaft in Exchange for a BB

This athlete once offered his nine inch shaft to a certain sponsor in exchange for a Blackberry 9900. The sponsor was very eager to see if it was really nine inches long so he accepted the offer. When he finally got to see it, he was extremely surprised! According to him, it was so huge he had to remove his dentures.

Letter From a Reader: Thanks to the Doctor, I Lost My Smile!

Dear Fashion Pulis,

I would like to share with you and your readers my horrible experience with a dentist in one of the upscale malls in Ortigas. On July 8 of this year, I went to the clinic to have my wisdom teeth extracted. Since this was supposedly a routine extraction, I didn’t go to my family dentist anymore.

That was my biggest mistake.

After the operation, my jaws were numb. Thinking it was due to the anesthesia, I toughed it out. A week went by and still I couldn’t feel anything. When it was time to go back to take out the sutures, I mentioned to the dentist that I still have no feeling on my lower jaw. That’s when he broke the news to me. He said that in some cases, nerves are damaged thus, the loss of feeling on the affected area. I couldn’t believe he was only informing me of that possibility that moment.

The thing was, they claim to be world class; they use state of the art facilities yet, they didn’t see that it was too deep to touch?

It has been more than four months now and I still have no feeling on my lower jaw. It’s been very challenging since it’s weird not to have a feeling on one or some parts of my face. Who knows what other effects this might bring about in the future?

I have consulted other dentists and everyone said it might never heal. If it does, it will never be the same as it was before. They were all surprised that the dentist did not inform me of the possible effects or that he treated the operation the way he did knowing the kind of depth where my wisdom teeth were might result to the loss of feeling on my jaws.

I hope others can learn a thing or two from my experience. Aside from the background check one must do on any surgeon, research on their works, as well. Ask all the questions you might have and ask to be informed of worst case scenarios so you can decide if you want to push through with the procedure or not.

More power to you, FP! And thank you for being an effective vehicle to inform the public of what is really out there.

Sincerely,

Zharmagne Dizon

Secret Rendezvous

This actor and this actress recently had a show in the West Coast that did not do well at all. After the show, the actress left immediately while the actor opted to stay for a few more days. The actor did not tell the actress that he was staying behind because he was going to meet up with the singer who was also there for a show.

Upon the departure of the actress, the actor met up with the singer in the hotel where he was staying. A few days later, they took separate flights and met up somewhere where they spent some quality time together.

Do you who this actor is? How about the singer and the actress? 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: 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!

Image courtesy of www.ethiopianreview.com

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 online advertisement

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
