Wordless/ Wordful Wednesday – My Sister
Well she is not really my sister by birth but we did grew up together and my mom practically brought her up. We like my brother didn’t always got along but now that they are older – they are my best friends. I love seeing and meeting up with them whenever I am in the Philippines.
I also worry about them – I was like a mom to them when my mom went abroad to work so she can support us.
When I went away,I heard one time when we were catching up on chat – that she was taking some diet pills to shed some pounds. I did read about it an found out that there are some counterfeits around. So I did warn her about this because it is dangerous to just take pills that are fakes.
Anyway, I read another pill called atro phex that seem to have lots of negative feed backs as well. We should always be careful on what we put inside our body. Once the damage is done, it would be difficult to undo it.
Anyway, I’d like to take this chance to wish my sister Chie “A Happy Happy Birthday!!!”
Wordless / Wordful Wednesday: Mother Hen and Baby Chick
Hiya guys! Mommawannabe is back! Hope all of you are well.
We had a blast with our vacation, it was great to be in the farm. So many changes have taken place since we were there last November. My Dutch brother-in-law is now living there with his girlfriend and he’s really loving farm life. They even bought goats and have set up their own vegetable garden. That’s really great because he’s setting a good example for all our workers – we want them to be self sufficient.
We don’t have electricity yet in our farm but we are not totally disconnected with the world. There’s a good mobile connection there because a cell tower is nearby. Anyway, if there was no cell tower there, you could nowadays set up cell towers in your property….yeah I know what you are thinking! So many things are now within reach, almost nothing is impossible nowadays.
While we were visiting each of the tree farms, this mother and child chicken caught my attention. Ain’t it cute, a chicken piggybacking 
?
I’ll tell you more in the upcoming days…I need to catch up on my laundry.
Poor customer service
Can I just rant?
Of course I can… this is my blog Bwahhaaha;)!
We have ordered a vehicle in the Philippines and it’s actually already finished. We thought we would be able to use it on our upcoming trip two weeks from now… but the registration papers are still not in order.
I am not frustrated by that fact actually. But what annoys me is that our contact person is avoiding my calls. It is so easy to say to tell me that due to some red tape issues, the vehicle won’t be ready for delivery yet. I could understand that for Pete’s sake, I grew up in the Philippines.
I know that she is avoiding my calls because she have somebody else answer her mobile phone to tell me she’s out of town. I found it suspicious that somebody else has her mobile phone while “she’s out of town” so I called the general manager but he was not at the office. The clerk asked me if she could help me. I told her I am calling about the vehicle I ordered. She said she will connect me with the sales department.
Guess who answered the phone?
My contact person. I asked first ” Who am I speaking to?” She said her name and Voila! she’s caught in the act. And as a typical Filipino, I didn’t wanna shame her by asking why is she hiding from me?
But that’s just so unprofessional! I mean I know that they do have international clients, if she asks the way she did with me – they will be giving a very bad impression. I don’t know if I should email the general manager or do I just let it be.
I don’t know…I don’t think I look scary or sound scary ;( Anyway, I still need to do some research for good but low cost auto insurance in the Philippines.
Do you know one?
