The Battle of the Comedians
Image courtesy of www.jackfreak1994.deviantart.com
When this older actress/comedian was on a location shoot for a television series, she complimented the trousers that this relatively younger actress/comedian was wearing. Since the young actress felt that the older actress liked her trousers so much, she thought of surprising the older actress by giving them to her as a gift the following day.
The older actress reacted negatively when the younger actress handed her the trousers. She felt insulted and started yelling at the younger actress. She told her that she is not cheap to accept a gift that has already been used by another person. She went on saying that she can definitely afford to buy herself brand new trousers if she wants to.
The younger actress was surprised with the reaction of the older actress. She flared up when she heard the hurtful things that the older actress has been saying. She shouted back and started defending herself. Since these two actress were too busy fighting each other, they did not realize that they were wearing their lapel microphones while the altercation was happening.
Do you know who these two actresses/comediennes are? I suggest you follow micsylim on Twitter to get additional clues on the actresses.

Her Pregnancy is a Secret?
Image courtesy of www.all-free-download.com
While the wife of this famous personality is busy attending to her social obligations, her husband is busy attending to the needs of his pregnant actress girlfriend. When he found out from the doctor that her pregnancy is going to be a delicate one, he immediately instructed her to take a temporary hiatus from show business. He even spoke to the management of the network where she belongs to stop giving her projects in the meantime.
According to a source, this young actress is due anytime soon. There is even a possibility that she might have already given birth while you are reading this story. This is actually the main reason why her famous personality boyfriend decided to delay his travel plans.
Who is this young actress who has managed to keep her pregnancy a secret? I will give you a clue. She is a product of a network's reality talent search.
Due to the sensitivity of this story, I would like to request you to refrain from posting initials and comments that are too explicit. Follow micsylim on Twitter to get additional clues on the actress.

Why Whisper Your Answer?
Image courtesy of www.socialsignals.com
On a flight back to Manila, an attendant was trying to ask this actress if she wanted coffee or tea. The attendant did not get an answer so she repeated the question because she thought that the actress did not hear her.
After asking her the second time around, the attendant noticed the actress covering her mouth and whispering something to her personal assistant (PA) who was seated beside her. It was the PA who ended up telling the attendant what the actress preferred to drink.
I wonder why the actress refused to tell the attendant directly what she wanted. Was she too tired to speak or was she just worried that the attendant might smell her breath?

This actress' family members, including her aunt who is very influential in the network where she belongs, dislike the TV host. When they were still together, there was even a time when her aunt advised her to break up with the TV host to save her career.
Against all odds, this beautiful actress has definitely given her heart back to the TV host. Do you know who she is?

Not Much of a Gentleman
Image courtesy of www.sodahead.com
This half-German, half-Filipino actress knew that this other Filipino-Spanish actress and former reality show contestant was not attending the Star Magic Ball so she decided to transfer to her seat. At that same table was this actor who thought that the half-German actress took the seat of his girlfriend.
Without noticing that there was still another vacant seat at that table allotted for his girlfriend, this actor called the attention of a road manager and instructed him to inform the half-German actress to leave the table. The actor even gave the half-German actress a bad stare while the road manager was talking to her. The actress felt offended with what she heard so she immediately left the ballroom in tears and returned to her hotel room.
Do you know who this actor is? With the way he treated this half-German actress, it clearly showed that he is not much of a gentleman. If you need more clues on the actor, I suggest that you follow micsylim on Twitter.

Letter from a Reader: Problematic Group Coupon Site
Image courtesy of www.boomersurvive-thriveguide.typepad.com
Dear Fashion PULIS,
I would like to share my experience regarding this particular group coupon site with you and your readers. I started buying vouchers online last year and I never had any problems with regard to purchasing and using them. I buy group coupons from different sites and these sites normally send the vouchers for you to print out in your account as soon as you have deposited the payment.
Recently, I had a problem with this one particular group site. A friend of mine asked me to get her ACE WATER SPA vouchers since I am a member of this site. My friend paid for the vouchers through bank deposit and I told her that we need to wait for the vouchers to be sent to my account.
On that same day, I also purchased (4) FUN RANCH RIDE-ALL-YOU-CAN vouchers. I also sent my payment through bank deposit. After the payment has been made, I informed the site and asked for my vouchers. It has been almost 2 weeks and I still haven’t received any vouchers from them. I do regular follow-ups on their Facebook account and even sent numerous emails but no one from the site bothered to give a reply.
Yesterday morning, I sent another email to them to ask for my vouchers. I even mentioned that I called DTI already about my complaint regarding their poor service. I also mentioned that they should stop enticing customers with their so-called great deals when in fact they can’t even send us the vouchers that we have paid for. In the event that they are having problems with the said merchants, why don't they update us or send us a refund instead?
A voucher’s validity is usually up to 3 months only and I have already wasted almost a week while waiting for my vouchers to be sent to me. I hope you can share my experience with your readers FP. Thank you for sharing my story so that your readers can be cautious next time if they intend to purchase group coupons from these sites.
Thank you for your time and more power to Fashion Pulis!
Yours truly,
MJGC

Letter from a Reader: Traumatic Online Shoe Shopping Experience
The pair advertised on her site
The pair I received
I would like to share my bad experience with you and your readers regarding an online shopping vendor in Facebook. The vendor’s name is HOHH run by Miss RL.
Last week I inquired about a pair of shoes that I really liked and so I reserved a pair in my size. Friday (August 19, 2011) came and I was supposed to deposit the money in her account before she ships the goods but I wanted to get a hold of the shoes right away so I inquired if I may just send someone to pick it up and give her the payment personally. She agreed without hesitation so at about 5:30 pm last Friday, I asked my staff to bring the payment to Miss RL's condo somewhere in Roxas Boulevard and to pick up the shoes that I ordered from the lobby of the condo. I was so excited when my staff came back. I wasted no time and opened the package right away. To my dismay, the right pair was damaged, and this was the start of my nightmare with this shoe vendor.
I called Miss RL right away to inform her that I received a defective pair and if she can kindly replace it. She said that she double checks all items and that it was not damaged when she left it with the guard at the lobby of her condo. I said that my staff did not open the package when he got it because it was sealed and I only opened it when 30 minutes after I received the package. I opened it in front of my staff and we both noticed the discoloration of the right pair. Miss RL then instructed me to just return the shoes and that she will look at it first. I requested her to just replace it with another pair and I will send the damaged pair right away.
When my staff arrived at her place, she took the shoes and instructed my staff to just go back for the shoes the following day. She did not replace nor hand my staff back the payment. I specifically asked my staff to have the damaged pair replaced or just get the payment back. Since she didn’t give the payment back and asked us to just come back for the shoes the following day with no receipt or proof of claim I decided to call her again and requested her to return the payment instead because it is already causing too much trouble on my end. Since she would not replace it right away, she agreed that she will just give the money back to my staff.
After more than 30 minutes, I called my staff and he said that Miss RL still has not handed him the money yet. I called Miss RL again to ask about the cause of delay and she irately replied, “Nire-repair pa namin yung shoes, hindi pwede madaliin.” I did not request her to repair it, I specifically requested her to replace it or just give back the payment. Why would I want to buy a defective pair of shoes? She decided to repair it without asking for my permission.
I called my staff again and told him to wait a little longer but not to accept the shoes if the right pair still looks damaged. All the while I was calling her for feedback but she would not answer my calls. When she finally answered my call, she told me “Tapos na” so I then answered “Salamat naman…” She dropped the call even before I could finish my sentence.

After 15 minutes, I called my staff again asking him if he has the shoes. He told me that he has not received the shoes. I kept calling Miss RL's cell refused to answer my calls. A few more minutes later, she finally handed the shoes to my staff.
When my staff noticed that the damage was worse when Miss RL handed her the shoes, he told her “Ma’am ang sabi po ni Ms. Lisa huwag ko daw po tatanggapin kung damaged pa rin”. Miss RL abruptly told my staff “Basta ipakita mo muna yan sa amo mo no!” My staff informed me Miss RL was upset when he would not accept the shoes so she kept asking him “May problema ka ba? May problema ka yata e?” My staff so so scared so he replied “Mam, wala po” and left hurriedly.
The damaged part of the right shoe had worsen when I saw it so I messaged her on Facebook. I told her that I did not like her attitude and that she shouldn’t shortchange people. We exchanged text messages and she said in one of her text that I can choose from the other available styles. The problem was that was the only style I liked in her collection and now I am being forced to choose another style? Since she could not replace the defective pair with a new one, she should just offer to give back the payment.

I have learned a valuable lesson from this horrible experience. I should have asked my staff to check the condition of the goods first before giving the payment. I was actually tempted to send her back the pair of damaged shoes without getting the payment back but I did not. How I wish I could throw the shoes back at her but even my staff refused to go back to her place because he was traumatized by Miss RL.
I am presently using the defective shoes that I bought from her. Why? It has become a conversational piece and I will not be tired of sharing my bad experience with the shoe vendor.
Thank you Fashion Pulis for allowing me to share this experience. I hope that this will serve as a lesson to all the people who love shopping online. Please be careful with the people you transact with. Also, do not hesitate to share your experiences to others so that they will not go through the same unpleasant experience.
Sincerely,

Age ain't Nothing but a Number
Image courtesy of www.glitterlive.com
Last Thursday morning, a Fashion PULIS reader spotted this sexy comedienne in East Hong Kong. She was billeted in the said hotel with this actor and grandson of a comedian who is around six years younger than she.
After receiving this information, I was able to confirm from a reliable source that this younger actor is truly head over heels in love with the comedienne. This guy liked her ever since but only decided to pursue her after she broke up with her politician-boyfriend.
Initially, the comedienne was very uncomfortable when this co-star was wooing her because they have known each other for years. Eventually, she ended up falling for him because of his persistence and sincerity.
This actor is so serious with her that he has formally introduced her as his girlfriend to his grandfather. She, on the other hand, told her friends one day when she was feeling emotional that she is thinking of marrying him next year.
Do you know who this comedienne is? How about the younger actor? I suggest that you follow micsylim on Twitter if you need additional clues on this post.

Who Copied Whom: Graphics Used by Two Bloggers
If you visit the sites of these two bloggers, you will notice this similarity. Can you tell me who copied whom?
Letter from a Reader: This Store's Computer is Bad at Math
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.

Give Me My Space!
Image courtesy of www.cafepress.com
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.
