Big Things Come in Small Packages

Image courtesy of www.redbubble.com

It seems like things are getting more and more serious between these two television hosts. One time, when the father of this male TV host was hanging out with his friend, he told him that his son is having a new house built because he and his girlfriend plan to settle down soon. Upon hearing this, the clueless friend asked the father "How long have they been together?" The father was dumbfounded with the question so he suddenly blurted out "Didn't you know that he replaced his old girlfriend with a new one?"

If this were the case, this female host should stop denying that she was the cause of the break-up between the male host and his former girlfriend. It is true that their obvious difference might be awkward for some people but this does not seem to bother the female host because she is a firm believer in the saying "Big things come in small packages."

Incidentally, was Ricky Lo referring to the former girlfriend of this host in his Funfare article yesterday? He mentioned that she and another actor were spotted exchanging stolen kisses in the Business Class section of a flight from Vancouver. Do you guys have an idea as to who the actor was?

Letter From a Reader: Appearance-Based Discrimination

Image courtesy of www.sodahead.com

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I am an avid follower of your blog and I would just like to share a very irritating incident that happened yesterday afternoon. I just got off from work and my friends and I agreed to dine in a cafe in Eastwood since it was near our workplace. I was very excited to try out this cafe because it will be my first time to eat there and my friends are saying that the burgers there are really delicious.

All three of us ordered their Iced Coffee which came with two shot glasses that each contained milk and sugar syrup. These shot glasses were like miniature beakers. We were actually enjoying our meal until one of the waiters came to our table to take away the two shot glasses while uttering "Excuse me po, LIMITED EDITION po kasi ito" in a loud manner. His remark was loud enough to be heard by the other customers sitting in nearby tables. My friends and I were dumbfounded with the waiter's unnecessary remark because it was as if he was accusing us of intending to steal them.

In my opinion, this is a clear case of discrimination because the waiter's remark was offensive. Our job does not require us to wear office attire and that's why we were in our casual clothes that were very presentable. I believe that our physical appearance did not deserve any kind of insensitive remark from the waiting staff of the said burger joint.

My friends and I felt that we became victims of appearance-based discrimination. I believe that whatever a person's status is in life, he or she should not be subjected to such kind of ridicule and insult.

Fellow Fashion PULIS readers, what would you have done if you encountered the same situation? Is there anything I could have done about it? Your comments will be highly appreciated.

All the best,
CM

Just Denied

This fearless comedienne used to be the kept woman of a novelty songwriter who loved her very much and took very good care of her. He begged his friend who used to be the host of a popular noontime show to make her one of his co-hosts. He even gave her his precious Hummer that he loved so dearly.

She eventually had to end her relationship with the songwriter when she transferred to a rival network. Just a few months ago, she met this businessman who is said to be the former boyfriend of a reality show alumna. Although she just denied the rumors that the businessman is her new boyfriend on national TV, sources have confirmed that the two have been seriously dating for quite some time now.

If you remember, around three months ago, a violent incident that happened in a network's compound involving the businessman and the reality show alumna was all over the news. At that time, nobody could tell the real reason behind this shocking incident. Now that we know that the she is the businessman's new girlfriend, could she be the reason behind his violent break-up with the reality show alumna?

beabi presents its Limited Artist Edition 2011 Tote Bags and Bag Organizers, a collection of six tote bags and bag organizers specially designed by three personalities from different fields.

Manny Pacquiao's designs are inspired by the Philippine flag, as he is proud to represent the country in the world arena. His designs bring out the true patriot in everyone.

Kim Chiu drew inspiration from two of her favorite elements: butterflies and the color pink. Her simple yet compelling designs will appeal to women who love to embrace their feminine side.

Rajo Laurel's creations focused on the ideals of his aesthetic as a fashion designer. His bags are perfect for fashionistas who lean towards clean lines and bold graphics.

Part of the sales' proceeds will be donated to the different charities supported by the Celebrity Artist Collaborators. Rajo supports Bantay Bata, because he believes that the youth are the building blocks of a nation. Kim supports Bantay Bata and Bantay Kalikasan, because she believes in helping children in need and preserving nature. Manny, meanwhile, has put up Pacqman Partnerships for the Poor Inc., an organization dedicated to the eradication of poverty, starting in his home province of Saranggani.

These are the bags that will be given to the Guess Who Loves Beabi Promo winners. You still have until August 7, 2011 to submit your entries.

Really Afraid?

Image courtesy of www.fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com

This beauty queen is head over heels in love with this certain athlete/model who used to be the boyfriend of a popular actress. She makes it a point to be always present whenever her guy hangs out with this other actor who plays around whenever his girlfriend is away. The other boys in the group find her presence annoying so they would tease her that she follows him around like his dog. What irritates them more is when she denies that she is having a romantic affair with him despite the fact that they know that she frequently spends the night at his place.

It is so obvious that this beauty queen is really afraid of losing this athlete/model. Do you know who she is? How about the athlete/model? By the way, apart from being in the same network, the two of them share something else in common. They both participated in reality shows.

Actor in blue, Benefactor in red

This actor in his 20's was spotted a few days ago with his generous benefactor. According to a source, the benefactor recently gave the actor cash for him to buy a new car. I guess love does come with an expensive price tag after all.

Do you know who this talented actor is? He has been nominated a few times for Best Actor. He was also rumored to be involved in a highly controversial affair a couple of years ago.

Unpaid Prize Money

She won the competition last November 2010. Two months later (January 2011), she finally got part of her prize money from the production company that was in charge of the said competition. She was also told she will receive the remaining balance of her prize money six months (July 2011) later.

It is almost August and she has not received any word from the production company. She tried to get in touch with the people in charge but they have been ignoring her messages. Her mom even tried sending a demand letter but it did not work either. 

This year's competition is scheduled to begin in a week's time despite the fact that last year's winner has not been paid in full. So, to all the ladies who are planning to join this year's competition, I suggest you think twice before filing your application. 

Letter from a Reader: Are Credit Card Companies Allowed to Share Our Personal Information?

Image courtesy of www.liveinthephilippines.com

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I am an avid and loyal follower of your blog! I know that many of your readers are credit card holders and they will be able to relate with this story.

Recently, I have been receiving SMS messages from anonymous numbers offering personal loans, cash loans and the likes from different banks. The messages have been very frequent so one time, I replied to this particular message:

From mobile number: +639266110833
Attention! Need CASH? Personal Load up to P2m for as LOW as1.3%/mo. For FAST & EAST Approval, ACT NOW. Message me. Adrian.

I was so fed up from receiving these kinds of messages so I send this message "Will you just stop texting me with those offers?" After sending this message, Adrian replied and said "I'm sorry Joseph Bolos. Rest assured you are monitored." After a few minutes, he also texted me my exact home address.

I was very shocked as to why he knows my complete name and my exact home address. Then I realized that he must have gotten these pieces of information from my credit card company. So I called my credit card company and told the customer service guy that there is a loan agent from another credit card company that is harassing me. He told me that the agent might have secured my personal information from the database of the other credit card company.

I understand that there is a database for the reference of the different credit card companies but why do these companies share these pieces of information with the loan agents without our permission? It truly bothers me that these people are sharing my personal information for their marketing purposes without my consent! Fellow Fashion PULIS readers, is there anything we can do about this?

Yours truly,
Joseph Bolos

When the Cat's Away. . . . .

Image courtesy of www.titlerakk.com

This actor is very good at hiding secrets from his girlfriend. Just last month, his network made public an issue that he has been keeping from his girlfriend. Ever since this expose, he has been seriously thinking of transferring to another network because he felt betrayed.

Well, it seems like this actor is hiding other secrets from his girlfriend. She is clueless that apart from her, her boyfriend is said to be seeing other women on the side. Whenever she goes out of town, the actor would invite different women to his place to spend quality time with him. Obviously, when the cat’s away, the mouse will play.

Scalper Guy

It is almost five in the morning and I just got home from my birthday party an hour ago. Thank you very much to all my friends who attended. Thank you also to all the Fashion PULIS readers who greeted here, on Twitter and Facebook. I have to wake up for my 11:20 am class in a few hours but I just could not go to sleep without posting a blind item.

Yesterday, this athlete sent a message to a lady friend informing her that he has two reserved tickets worth 2,000 PhP each for sale. He also told her that these were reserved tickets for the family members and friends of the athletes. When this lady met up with the athlete to pick up the two tickets, she was shocked to see that they were upper green bleachers worth 200 PhP each. She tried giving them back to the athlete but he refused to accept them because according to him, he already paid them on her behalf. She was even more upset when she later learned that the two tickets sold to her were just given to the athlete for free.

The Fitness Plagiarizer

The manager of this fitness personality used his connections to help him land a job on a television network. He helped promote his workout programs that eventually got him billboard deals with a local pharmaceutical company. Sadly, his career was starting to take off, he began badmouthing his manager to some of the people in the network. He told them to not to deal with his manager anymore because he is short-changing him.

This fitness personality also publicly claimed that his workout programs were all original. What many do not know is that he plagiarized most of them from the internet. He cuts parts from one workout program, pastes it with another and makes it appear that it is his own. 

Do you know who this fitness personality is? Please observe the guidelines in posting comments and be reminded that initials are not allowed. I suggest that you follow micsylim on Twitter if you need additional clues.

Letter from a Reader: A Cockroach in My Salad

Dear Fashion PULIS,

Last July 10 at around 10 in the evening, I invited my friend, Noel, to eat in this restaurant in Greenbelt. In the restaurant, we were greeted by the friendly receptionist and one of the managers who know me. I browsed through the menu and ended up ordering the Inasalata Rucola.

When my salad arrived, I started eating it. After digging into it, I saw something that was blackish in color. I handed my phone to my friend and told him to take a picture. I requested the waiter to call the manager to show him the cockroach in my salad.

They offered to replace my salad but how can you still continue eating in a restaurant when you just saw an insect in your place. There was no apology or anything and they only offered to give me free dessert. I insisted to pay for the bill but they declined my payment. That night, I felt cheated because all these years I have been a loyal customer of this restaurant the incident made me realized how unclean this restaurant is.

A worm in the salad is understandable because sometimes during the preparation it cannot be spotted but having a cockroach in it is totally a different story. I think the Makati City sanitation department  should look into this restaurant. We should not tolerate the unclean kitchen of this restaurant.

The next time you guys are in the Greenbelt area, you better think twice before entering this restaurant. Thank you for posting my story.

Regards,
Marcelo Alonso

Who is the Actor's New Inspiration?

Image courtesy of www.buzzle.com

This actress was present at the family get together of this actor despite the fact that they already broke up a few months ago. According to a female relative, this actress is in denial because she is still very much in love with this actor. She also mentioned that while they were together, the actor tried his best to live a straight life but things just really did not work out between the two of them.

As the night went on, the stories became juicier. According to the same relative, there is a certain model with an "extraordinary" hairstyle that is presently inspiring this actor. This model has also made an appearance in a television series on the same network not so long ago.

Do you know who this actor is? How about the model? Please observe the guidelines in posting comments and be reminded that initials will not allowed. Follow micsylim on Twitter if you need additional clues.

Letter from a Reader: Why are Imitation Items Allowed in the Department Store?

Original Mulberry

Version displayed in the department store

Dear Fashion Pulis,

I guess all letters senders start by saying that they are big fans of your blog and I am proud to say that I am no exception. I used to ignore local chismis sites and concentrated more on the foreign showbiz sites until I accidentally encountered your blog site. I have been hooked to Fashion PULIS since May 2011.

When my cousin had a negative experience with a celebrity, I encouraged her to email you the incident. Her story eventually landed on your blog with the title Letter from a Reader: Queen of Deadma. We were vacationing in Hong Kong when her letter came out. We were so excited that we spent so much time re-reading the story and we forgot all about the shopping.

Anyway, I wanted to share a disturbing discovery I made while shopping in Makati last Sunday. I visited this department store because I wanted to look at the house ware section. When I was passed by the women's hand bag section, the 'What's New' display rack caught my attention. I was so surprised to find out that the department store carries Mulberry imitation itmes with every detail of the original style including the metallic emblem/logo.

Now this is my question. Is the department store aware of this? Is the one in charge of the consignment items aware that these bags are imitations? Even if this department store is known for its affordable items, this does not put them on the same level as the "tiangge" stalls that sell fake luxury handbags. In my opinion, this is a serious crime just like movie or music piracy?

Thank you for taking the time out to read and post my letter.

Kind regards,
FA
