THICK FACE: Entrecard Team

May 9th, 2009

Excuse me Entrecard Team, after you denied my cashout application (without really explaining why I got denied), you have the nerve to send me an email asking me to purchase more credits and other stuff for $250?! You have got to be kidding! The nerve! Graham Langdon must be in dream land because I will never spend a single cent after your team declined my cashout application. Not even in your dreams.

Here’s my prediction: Entrecard will dwindle into nothing. You have shown no respect to your members ever since that paid ads came up and new rules were set. Eventually, you will lose your members. But again, I just want to reiterate what a thick face the Entrecard team has.

For the mean time, I am putting down my Entrecard widget as a sign of protest. I refuse to put it up until Entrecard decides to talk about why exactly they denied my cashout application.

Thanks but no thanks, Entrecard.  I am moving on. I’m done.

I want an iTunes gift card

March 21st, 2009

I don’t know where to buy it online.  Especially with some Chinese people hacked Apple’s algorithm.  I just want to buy a card and use PayPal.  Any ideas?

My Summer Pledge…

March 17th, 2009

cannot be broken.

Ahhh… Summer. My fave time of the year. I love it more than Christmas or even my birthday. Here’s my personal pledge to summer:

1. I will wear flip flops or my gladiator sandals instead of high heels or rubber shoes especially if I’m not at work.

2. I will keep my feet, “flip flops worthy” by getting a nice pedicure every week.

3. I promise to wear dresses, spags and shorts on weekends and holidays. Pants are out!

4. I will not say no to ice candies, halo halo or ice cream.

5. I will bring my shades at all times.

6. I will buy a new bikini everytime I go to the beach.

7. I will go to the beach and have fun.

8. I will not wear sunblock that’s lower than SPF 15.

9. I will attend the Make Your Own Havaianas event with dadi.

10. I will fill my iPod with summer music!

YAY! Summer! :)

I want to buy…

March 16th, 2009

a domain and a web hosting service (must support WordPress). I won’t need a big space. I just want value for my money. If I can pay in local currency, better. Any suggestions?

Conversations with mom

March 16th, 2009

Me: Hmm, if God is all-knowing, wouldn’t he know right before He created the world that if he created a man with free will, man might sin?  If man was not created then He wouldn’t have to sacrifice His Son at the cross.

Mom: Because God’s love was overflowing.  I guess He knew from the start that this will happen but He had so much love He wanted to share it and created us anyway.

Me: *shuts up*

Happy with 2.2.1 update

March 3rd, 2009

I’ve been itching to upgrade my iPhone classic to the latest firmware. My old firmware was 1.1.4 and at first I’ve thought about paying someone to do the upgrade for me painlessly. Money is one of the resources that I really need to save especially with the current economic crisis so I decided to do it on my own.

I found some really helpful tips from fellow iPhone owners online. I had a bit of a problem at first and I’ve accidentally placed my unit in recovery mode but someone helped me by telling me which tutorial I should follow. Et voila! In a matter of an hour, my iPhone’s been updated.

I didn’t know how to back up my files so I lost all my text messages and contacts. :( But with the perks of having the latest firmware, I can definitely say that it’s worth it. :)

It’s Alive!

February 28th, 2009

After 21 gruelling days, dealing with this horrible laptop repair shop called Hottoyz, my laptop is finally alive again. Hottoyyz technicians are rude and they don’t know how to emphatize. They ripped me off. They don’t know how to diagnose the problem and prolonged the process.

Anyhoo, I’m back blogging but I might be kinda busy with other work stuff. For those people who kept on insisting that myhpf is not a scam, well let me slap this proof of NON-PAYMENT to your faces:

Myhpf, like Hottoyz, is rude because they are non-responsive. No replies as to why I’m still not paid? Blocking my emails? But they have the nerve to send me emails asking me to search again? You’ve got to be kidding. I won’t waste my time and effort using the crappy search engine filled with ads for nothing.

Please readers, don’t bug me with the myhpf BS again. Search if you want to. Tell people to join. But I’m telling the truth! IT’S A SCAM!

Grrr…

December 23rd, 2008

After 3 hours of peaceful sleep, I was awakened by a phone call from my brother who has just arrived from work. He asked me to wake up my mom (who was also sleep-deprived due to the never-ending household chores and freelancing stints) so she could open the gates and the door for him. (What a brat!) Anyway, of course I didn’t bother waking mom because she’s in a deep sleep at the moment. So I grabbed my keys and headed downstairs.

When he got into the room (we’re sharing btw), he turned on the airconditioning unit without even bothering to check if the windows are open (no wonder our electric bill is so high!). He got mad because I told him off. Then he called me names. I am so pissed.

First, he didn’t even thank me. Second, he had the nerve to piss me off after waking me at an ungodly hour. Man is not perfect but I don’t think there’s no excuse for having bad manners.

He better not forget his keys again because the next time he calls, I’d go back to sleep and pretend that it didn’t ring at all. Grrrr…

McDonald’s Delivery (8McDo) Sucks!

December 4th, 2008

Don’t get me wrong. I love McDonald’s food but their delivery service sucks big time. Most of you may know that I live in Makati and there’s gotta be plenty of McDonald’s branches in my area (The Fort, Makati Ave., Ayala, Guadalupe, and so on). The first time I had a problem with McDo Delivery was when they forgot to deliver the gravy I ordered. I bought 2 of them at Php10 each. It took them 45 minutes to deliver my order and another 45 minutes and 10 phone calls to get my gravy. By the time the gravy arrived, my food is cold and I’ve already lost my appetite.

Tonight, I came home so hungry and tired and once again, I made a mistake of ordering food from McDonald’s. I placed my order sometime between 8 and 8:10 PM and the operator told me that my food will be delivered in 30-45 minutes. After one gruesome hour, the food has still not arrived. I decided to give them a call and after 2 minutes of hold time in the IVR (with their annoying hold music), I got to talk to a lady and I politely asked her to cancel my order. When she said OK, I hunged up.

Never again, McDo Delivery. My mom arrived and cooked some chicken wings for me. It’s now 9:37PM and it’s been 30 minutes since I’ve called to cancel the order, yet the delivery guy arrived. My dad wants me to just take the order but I already lost my appetite. I don’t think I have appetite for anything McDonald’s anymore. The guy said that there has been some problems with the computer and not the delivery. They have my number. They could have called me that there might be a delay. But they didn’t.

I think that they should fix their delivery system because tonight, I’ve read more horrible stories in the internet about their poor delivery service. And oh, they don’t have customer service, just the delivery hotline. I’m not spending Php200 for some food that I don’t want to eat anymore. Maarte na kung maarte. Pero ganun talaga. They may be number 106 in Fortune 500. But because of their crappy service, I consider them as one of the worst companies out there. McDo, isa na lang ang masasabi ko senyo and I will quote the smart Andrea Ayers for this: Back to basics. If they don’t get it, soon enough, competition will eat them up.

Anyhoo, my dad offered me some Fita biscuits. We rarely talk. Now, that’s something.
