Giordano Outlet Store Finds

Since we discovered Giordano Outlet Store at Shell of Asia (NLEX near Sta Rita Toll), a stop over is never complete without checking what’s on sale on the store. And last weekend proved to be another “thank goodness I didn’t spend all my vacation money” moment. We found a few pieces that we “need” to buy.

Kiddie tights for only 98 PhP ($2 more or less), men’s polo shirt for 700 PhP ( $15+) and Ladies shorts for 700 PhP.

I bought her 5, because she’s turning 5 this Saturday! ahaha

My 3 boys were sad, no polo shirt for them this time. I was told, more clothes will be on sale by December.

Rearranging The Garage With Shelving

Using rack shelving in a garage allows someone to rearrange their garage with ease. These shelves can be put up in any configuration, and they will be easy for the user to label when they are getting their garage in shape. These shelves can rise from eye level to the ceiling, and they can be moved around to accommodate the size of the garage.

The Installation

Most of these shelves can be installed with a simple process that involves only a few steps. The owner of the house can put in their own shelves, and they will be able to arrange the shelves in any way they want. The shelves can reach across one wall, or they can stack on top of one another to create a small area where all the storage takes place.

The Labels

The labels that are needed for the shelves can be placed on the front of the shelves, and the can be used to show where all the tools and supplies in the garage are. This allows people to make sure they know where all their tools are, and they will not have to search for the things they need. The labels direct people to their tools or supplies, and the labels can be changed at any time.

The Movement

People can move their shelves to any location they want, and they will be able to move the shelves as many times as they want. This allows someone to keep their garage in the best organizational mode possible. Families grow and expand, but their shelves often do not move with them. These shelves can be moved around easily to make life easier for the family. There are many times when the family can move the shelves to park larger vehicles, or they can add shelves to expand their storage.

The best way to make sure the garage is a good place for storage is to make sure that people are using rack shelves. These shelves are easy to use, can be labeled and can be moved at any time.

Mahigit Isang Kutsarang Disappointment (CASE CLOSED)

This is a rant.. if you are a regular reader of this blog, you know I don’t rant that much. Posts like 3 Reasons Why I Don’t Post Press Releases For FREE and How To Email Mommy Bloggers were posted under Blogging category and not rant category. Those blog posts were written to serve as guide.. but this one.. this is pure rant. Excuse the tone.. I am pissed.

September: I signed up to participate in the Lea & Perrins Kitchen Philippines Isang Kutsara challenge cooking and photo contest. Basically, we were asked to join the contest, blog about our entry, help them promote the contest and in return, we were given a small bottle of Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce.

Less than a week after receiving the small bottle of Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce, I posted my entry, blogged about the contest and promote it. This is the link to my entry:

My Lea & Perrins Isang Kutsara Challenge Entry: Chicken Adobo Sa Gata

As you can see, the entry was shared more than 100 times..at obvious naman na hindi bara bara ang entry ko.. kapalit ng isang maliit na bote ng Worcestershire sauce, ako ay nag prepare ng napakaganda at napakasarap na adobo..

But it’s not for the win.. I did that because I signed up to do that. Whenever I signed up for a blog opportunity, I always make sure that my part of the deal was done in the best possible way I can..

I did not expect anything.. and then I received this last November 1..

What? I didn’t even know voting started?!? When and how it happened?

————————————–EDIT————————————–

After receiving the text, I replied and asked if the competition will be held on November 5.. and they REPLIED back saying the main event will be on November 8..

————————————–EDIT————————————–

So there was a briefing on November 5 and the main event will be on November 8. Hmmmm 2 days?!? And you know my dilemma..I can’t just leave my kids and attend these events.. So I asked for my mom to be here on the said dates to look after my kids.

But they said they would give me a call.. and I didn’t receive any.. so before I announced it to the world, I asked the point person to verify.. and VOILA!

IT WAS A WRONG SENT!

This is what I got:

My bad, I copy-pasted your number to the other contestant’s number who qualified in the cook off. Please disregard the text.

And I flared up!

WRONG SENT? And why even bothered a reply that the main even will happen on November 8?!?

So kung hindi ako nag email sa kanya, para akong tanga na pupunta sa briefing at mapapahiya. GREAT!

The point person said MY BAD.. which is according to Urban Dictionary :

A combination of an apology and a dismissal. Basically, saying “oh yeah, I did that, but I don’t care”.

So I am not assuming when I say, she apologized, right?

Forgiven? maybe.. but not forgotten..

——————————————————————————————

Actually… there are so many thoughts on my mind right now with regards to how I was treated.. specially the way they handled the “disregard the text” part.. I don’t want to assume but it made me feel that they have little respect for bloggers..or maybe I am right.. baka kaya maliit lang na bote pinadala kase ganun lang kaliit lang tingin nila sa mga bloggers?

I should have known from the start.. warning sign na un eh…

What do you think? Sige gatungan nyo ako hahahaha

CLOSING ARGUMENT (wow parang sa korte lang)

This was an honest mistake, a little incompetence on their part maybe.. but it was nothing more than that. I was pissed because I thought it was done in bad faith because I am a blogger… because they think of me less as a blogger.

The point person replied again and said sorry..

My sincere apologies for this mishap 🙁
Your email actually helped us re-screen the numbers of the participants and re-check if there are similar cases. I believe it’s God’s wisdom that told you to send me an email to confirm about this.
I hope you understand also that the entry requires votes to get a chance to be qualified for the cook-off challenge.
Siguro, if I were the one who informed the cook-off participants, i would have not sent a text blast with no names. It would be more personal.
Again, my sincere apologies and I’m hoping for your kind understanding.

Humanap na kayo ng pang gatong at mag luluto tayo ng Adobo!
