Still No Refund

September 22, 2011 · Posted in Shopping · 1 Comment 

Its been a week since that botched deal I had with this notorious (now I know) deal site. To date, they still haven’t given me my refund.

I’m trying my hardest not to blow my top again. In fact, I haven’t written a single email to follow up my last request. Why? Because that will open up another can of worms and the volley of emails will repeat itself once again which, naturally, will get my blood boiling…which I don’t want to happen.

Lucky for them my mind has been rather preoccupied. Otherwise, I would be posting beautifully worded rants on their FB page in big glaring letters.

In the meantime, I decided to buy those same treatments but this time I bought it straight from the merchant. And it isn’t as expensive as I thought it would be. I got the same number of treatments for a little over what I paid from that no-good deal site.

Lesson learned, find out if these deals are as real as they claim to be. For all you know, the merchant behind the deal can offer you the same price without having to go through a groupon site.

Crash Due to Stomach Ache

September 18, 2010 · Posted in everyday · 2 Comments 

I got into a minor car accident recently. And all due to a stomach ache. Sounds fishy. Not quite.

It all happened at a gasoline station while I was gassing up.

I was all finished by then and I was signing my credit card bill when I heard my kids’ yaya screaming. Apparently a car was slowly rolling towards us from the right. Before we could say “Stop!!” it crashed into us.

It first seemed like there was no driver but as soon as the car stopped, a head popped up from behind the wheel. I got out and was ready to berate him but he quickly apologized. In my mind I was secretly hoping that I had checked those online insurance quotes for additional coverage.

When I asked him what happened he said he had a stomach ache. What? That didn’t sound right to me. I mean, if I was to claim from the insurance company, how do I explain that I was hit due to a stomach ache?!?

He explained that he hunched over because he had a stomach ache and accidentally released the brakes. So the car rolled and landed on my bumper. Ahhhh….so that explains it. Dammit!!

I was about to let all hell break loose until I noticed that my bumper was unscathed. His car, on the other hand, was damaged pretty bad. His headlight was completely shattered and part of his fender was bent.

I’m thinking, my bumper withstood the friggin’ stomach ache…Har har!

The Return of Madame Reklamadora

Its been awhile since I’ve bombarded a call center with my rants. There hasn’t been a reason to complain in the last few
months simply because all the services we have been paying for were being delivered quite well. Until a few days ago when both our cable service and broadband went out at the same time.

It happened at around 8 P.M. while I was watching one of my fave cooking shows. Immediately I called Sky Cable’s hotline and informed them about the disruption. Upon checking they declared that it was an isolated case and that they would send a crew over to have it checked anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. But they also told me that in case the problem was central, they would restore our service right away.

I Think I Spotted A Crease!!!

July 31, 2010 · Posted in gripes · Comment 

Oh no I just saw a crease!! Not on my shirt…silly….on my face. That’s really bad. Sure I’m a ripe old age of 43 but wrinkles aren’t exactly a family phenomenon. Even my late grandma who didn’t have that much wrinkles when she was 90!! And I’m clearly half her age and now I’ve spotted some.

Does this mean that I have to add wrinkle creams to my puny beauty arsenal?

Probably…or maybe I’m just stressed out. Talk about refusing to admit it….I refuse to admit I’m getting old. So what is it to you?!?

For The Nth Time…I’m not Pregnant

July 31, 2010 · Posted in gripes · 1 Comment 

I got it again. Someone asked me again if I was pregnant.

C’mon, do I really look pregnant? Not that I have anything against it. For crying out loud, I have 2 kids already so being pregnant is no big deal. Its just that I’m not. At the moment. So whenever someone looks at me and wonders whether I’m on prenatal vitamins it only means one thing and one thing alone….I’m fat!!!

For the record, I’m not fat!! A little healthy maybe…but fat…no way!!
