Spotted: In Each Other's Arms

They seem to have found comfort in each other's arms after their respective break-ups. I just hope that this time around, it will work out for two of them despite the fact that they are from rival networks. Can you identify them based on the blurred photo?

Letter from a Reader: This Store's Computer is Bad at Math

 Dear Fashion PULIS,

I would like to share the experience of me and my bother that happened a few days ago in a toy store. I remember reading an article of your site regarding the inconsistent pricing from a certain supermarket. The same thing happened to us today and I just want to share this with all your readers. 

I received a text message from this toy store that they will be having a one day special sale. On top of the special sale, if you are a member of the store's loyalty program, you will get extra 10 percent discount. Since my niece's birthday is fast approaching, my brother and I decided to take advantage of this opportunity. 

My niece gave us a wish list from the said toy store and she even included the prices so it would be convenient to everyone. My brother choose 2 items, one was priced at 699.75 and the other at 1199.75. If you add the two items, the total amount will be 1899.50. If you less the 10% discount because of the special sale, it will be 1709.55 then less another 10% for being a member of the loyalty program, the final amount should be 1538.595. 

The funny but thing was I was confused when  the cash register final amount was 1589.88. I noticed that we were being charged 51.38 extra. We called the manager and I told him that " mahina yata sa Math ung IBM computer nyo." My brother has to explain the whole thing twice to the manager before he understood the complaint. 

We both kept our cool because we want to see how if it was really a computer error or human error. The manager tried it for 15-20 minutes but the same result came out so he said "i-manual na lng natin sir." 

Normally we just give our credit cards and let the lady at the cashier swipe it thinking that computers will not make an error in computation. I hope this will serve as a lesson to all your readers that they should also do their own computation. Now, I am not wondering why the store owners are getting so rich.

Yours truly,
Harry F.

Last July, after the concert of this Australian artist, some fans were gathered outside the venue hoping to have their pictures taken with their favorite celebrities. When Angel Locsin heard her fans calling her name, she willingly accommodated their requests. She enthusiastically had her photos taken with them and even asked some of them to show her the pictures. 

It was totally a different vibe for this television personality. When he was coming out of the venue, he ignored all his fans who were calling his name and requesting for a photo opportunity. Right before he got out of gate, there was this lady who ran up to him. While she was having her photos taken with him, he tried to sound funny by saying "Ate, tama na! Biliasan mo, walang bayad ito!" His handler pulled him away after that quick photo stop and blocked the other fans who were trying to approach him.

Do you know who this television personality is? He is usually funny on his shows but apparently his sense of humor failed him that night.

Miss Sabotage

Image courtesy of www.truenewsfromchangenyc.blogspot.com

One Sunday, this television host/singer was backstage with her fellow female performers getting ready for their song number. Out of the blue, she approached the others girls and suggested to them that they should all wear dresses in the same shade to make their number look more special.

The other girls agreed to her suggestion so they began going through their dresses to find a shade that is common in everyone's wardrobe. After agreeing on which shade to wear, the girls started getting ready for their number.

When the girls were about to leave their dressing rooms, they noticed that the host was missing. The next time they saw her was when they were already about to appear on stage. Much to their surprise, the host was wearing a dress in a shade that is different from everyone else's. She totally made the other girls look like her backup dancers on stage.

Do you have an idea as to who this host/singer is? She seems to enjoy giving inaccurate information to her rivals so that she can upstage them.

Letter from a Reader: False Advertisement

Image courtesy of www.kaboodle.com

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I started watching this DJ's podcast when my husband asked me to watch one of his hilarious episodes with a rock star. I started following him on Twitter and I learned that he is giving away prizes for all his callers. According to him, every caller will get an MP3 Player from the sponsor, and the caller of the night will receive another major prize.

One time when I was listening online, I was trying to contact him thru Skype because I was very interested to ask the psychic guest about this certain paranormal activity that I have experienced. The assistant of the DJ ended up contacting me instead and I was able to speak to him and his guest. A few minutes later, my line got cut due to the bad internet connection.

Since the line was cut, I tried to contact his assistant again because I want to ask her how I can claim my MP3. She told me that someone will contact me anytime soon to give me the instructions. I was surprised that she did not bother asking for my personal details so I volunteered to them to her instead. 

A few days later, I decided to visit their Facebook account since no one got in touch with me regarding my prize. There, I was able to read several complaints from callers who have not received their prizes. There were also comments from some people who waited for weeks before they got their prizes.

After waiting for more than three weeks, I decided to send a message to the assistant and ask her about my MP3. I was shocked when she informed me that I can claim my 100 PhP worth of gift certificate from this certain techno hub in Eastwood. When I read her message I was dumbfounded so I said thank you and more power to their show since the assistant was very nice to me.

I was very disappointed when I heard that they were not giving me what they promised. I am not about to waste gas money to drive all the way to Eastwood to pick up the 100 PhP GC. I would have gone all the way to Eastwood though if they told me that the DJ will be there personally to give me the GC.

Before I end my letter I just want to make it clear that I sent this letter because I believe that the DJ is using false advertisement to attract people to view his podcasts. He and his assistants should be very clearly regarding the prizes that they really intend to give to the callers. 

I have nothing against the DJ. I am still a fan and I still love him.

Spoiled Blue Cheese?

Image courtesy of www.thegrandgourmand.wordpress.com

The sour and salty taste of blue cheese makes it an acquired taste for people with tolerant palates. Its pungent smell is often enough reason for most people not to try it. People who are afraid to even taste this cheese are missing their chance to enjoy the extraordinary flavor of this misunderstood cheese.

When this actor and his actress-girlfriend were invited to dinner, they were served salad with blue cheese. During dinner, a female guest noticed that the actress was picking the blue cheese out of her salad, so she asked her if she dislikes the taste. She was surprised when the actress told her that the blue cheese from the salad is "panis" or spoiled.

Letter from a Reader: What are His Deeper Issues?

Image courtesy of www.joah.typepad.com

Dear Fashion Pulis,

I am an avid fan of Fashion PULIS since I found out about it. I make sure that I check it everyday to update myself with your celebrity blind items. Everyone I know is reading your blog. Now, let me share a blind item for you.

Who is this television host who recently badmouthed your blog on a television show? He said, “Walang kwenta naman ang Fashion Pulis na yan.” When this sore loser, sour graping guy broke up with a famous celebrity from another TV network, he also badmouthed her. Ironically, a few months later, he reunited with her after saying so many bad things about her.

What he said made me wonder if his podcasts or his radio programs have “kwenta”? He is the only male celebrity I know who makes “patol” all his enemies and claiming that he is just brave to confront them. So I say, “yeah right, that's very girly.” If he were really straight, I don’t think he will talk and answer back like a girl to all his detractors. No straight guy from the any network does that.

In my opinion, I think this guy is so “feeling.” Just because he can speak straight English doesn’t make him superior. The way he reacts to things proves that he is insecure about his looks and his height.

Before I end this blind item, I wish to dedicate a quote by Naomi Campbell to this guy, “Anger is a manifestation of a deeper issue... and that, for me, is based on insecurity, self-esteem and loneliness."

Fellow FP readers, what do you think are his “deeper issues”? If I remember correctly, he is currently seeing a therapist, right?

More power to you FP and continue to delight us with your juicy stories.

Just Chewing

Image courtesy of www.us.fotolia.com

According to statistics, if a job applicant is chewing gum while he or she is being interviewed, it is almost a guarantee that he or she will not get the job. Public relations professionals would always advise their celebrity clients never to chew gum while being interviewed on television because this is considered rude, unattractive and disrespectful.

Last night, a Fashion PULIS reader was severely bothered when she caught this handsome actor on television chewing gum while being interviewed by a veteran host on his late night show. At one point, the camera even caught him sticking out his tongue while trying to blow a bubble with his gum. 

Yes, this actor might have halitosis but it still does not give him an excuse to use chewing gum to freshen his breath while being interviewed. His behavior on television last night was simply unacceptable. 

Do you know who this actor is? Please follow micsylim on Twitter if you need additional clues. I would like to request you to follow the guidelines in posting comments. Do not post initials and comments that are too explicit.

Really Changed

Image courtesy of www.dharbarkha.blogspot.com

This actor used be naive, conservative, shy and timid before he started dating his sexy actress girlfriend. Nowadays, whenever he is with his guy friends, all he talks about is sex. He constantly insists that they should give him more pointers on how he can better satisfy his girlfriend in bed.

What this actor does not know is that he has become the laughingstock of his friends. They can tell that his lack of sexual experience is making him very insecure. They also feel that his actress-girlfriend has really changed his entire personality.

She's Going?

The top executives of this network have been pushing this big star to renew her contract but she turned a deaf ear to all of them. She is not so interested to renew her contract because she is totally satisfied with the way that these executive have been dealing with her money-related concerns.

What the executives of this network do not know is that the management of this star has been secretly meeting with another network to discuss her possible transfer. According to a source, the offer of this rival network was just too big for her not to consider it.

This big star's possible move is just the beginning. Another star that this other network is targeting is this beautiful frustrated singer who hosts a regular television show.

Letter from a Reader: Please Don't Deprive Us!

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I'm an avid fan and it has been my habit to check your blog everyday. I also try to read the comments of other FP fanatics if I have the time. Your blog is very influential and I am writing you this letter hoping and praying that our appeal will be heard. 

Our appeal is regarding the Board of Nursing's memo that the July 2011 Nursing Board Exam Passers will not be having the traditional mass oath taking ceremony. This is very disappointing for me because I am one of the July NLE board exam passers and knowing that I will not be able to experience this tradition gives me a heavy heart. 

I believe that the Oath Taking Ceremony is a solemn event that should be experienced by new registered nurses because this is our time to make our parents proud by having them witness us taking the oath. This will also give them the feeling of fulfillment after all the hard work that they have gone through to send their children to the nursing schools. 

We (new RNs) are aware of the country's economic condition, and the scarcity of job opportunities but depriving us of this experience would not solve it. Having the experience of seeing our parents proud is priceless. Money can be earned until the day we die. 

I am hoping that the proper authorities could read this so that our appeal may be heard. Thanks FP and more power!

Sincerely yours,
urRoyaLhighness

Just Purchased Them!

The wife of this famous celebrity was spotted by a Fashion PULIS reader somewhere in Bonifacio High Street buying stacks of this certain magazine that featured her on the cover. Was she buying them to give away to friends or she just purchased them to boost the magazine sales? You guess is as good as mine.

Kudos to Dubai-based Filipino Designer

For someone who started off by making dresses for his mother, Dubai-based Filipino designer Furne One has come a long way indeed.

With a celebrity roster that includes supermodel Heidi Klum, legendary actress Joan Collins and, most recently, three of pop's current biggest names — Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez and Katy Perry — his is every designer's dream client list. But that's only if you consider dressing celebrities the ultimate career high. One (pronounced on-ay) has been making his dream-like couture dresses, all sequins, glitter and all, for highly-placed Arab clients and royals for the past 12 years.

The soft-spoken designer puts his current successful celebrity run down to a lot of hard work, and some luck.

"I have been working with Heidi for Germany's Next Top Model for about four seasons now, designing for the finalists," he tells tabloid!.

Albert Martinez is Belo's Latest Endorser

Desperately in Love

Image courtesy of www.abandonletters.wordpress.com

His son does not like her so he has been avoiding her ever since his son came to visit. She, on the other hand, is still desperately in love with him. Despite the fact that he has been avoiding her, she went to one of his shoots unannounced to catch a glimpse of him. This is how much she misses him.

When the cameras stopped rolling, the production team was surprised that he did not even mind her. Instead of entertaining her, he pretended that she did not exist. While he was goofing around with one of the production staff members, she went in front of him, yelled "Happy anniversary" and left the scene abruptly.

Lately, she has been drinking a lot with her friends to ease her pain. She is really head over heels in love with him but it seems like he will never be able to reciprocate her love. Do you guys have any advice for her?
