SIOMAI HOUSE’s Customer Service. Haller???

Pesteng Siomai House yan. I’m talking about the Siomai House sa Victory Mall. Yung stall na nasa tabi ng escalator. Oo, ayoko silang ipinpoint. Shemes na yan.

Iritang irita kami ni Erik kahapon kay ateng malaki ang mata na mukhang pinaglihi sa sama ng loob. Ganito kasi yung nangyari.

Umorder kami ng 2 siomai. Shempre siomai ung inorder namin kasi siomai house nga eh, no? okay. si ateng nagmamagaling at excellent sa customer service nilagyan agad ng chili ung dalawang siomai without asking kung gusto ba o ayaw namin ng chili. e nagkataon ayoko dahil hindi ako fan ng kaanghangan sa mundo. so i calmly said, “ate ung isa walang chili ha..”. si ate naman mega sagot ng “e nalagyan na po e.” so sabi ko naman, “wala akong pakialam kung nalagyan na, palitan niyo. hindi kasi nagtatanong e”.. char!! shempre hindi ko un sinabi, lols. sabi ko “e ayoko nga po ng meron…” in a very moderate tone. at eto na si ate, naghurumintado na. kala mo sha lang ang tindera ng siomai sa mundo. dabog dito, dabog doon. ismid dito, ismid doon. irap dito, irap doon, buntong hininga rito, buntong hininga roon. shempre ako tinititigan ko lang sha at pinapanood habang sa isip isip ko pinapaslang ko sha ng pinong-pino. haha.

so tahimik lang ako. pagka-serve ng siomai at gulaman, mega singil agad si ate. sabi kay erik “66 po lahat.” si erik naman hindi pinansin kasi hindi naman kami sanay na bayad agad. shempre gusto muna namin kumain. etong si ateng walang konsepto ng pagpapasensha nagsalita ulit. inulit nya kay erik na 66 daw ang babayaran namin. eto na ang nakakagulat na bahagi ng kwento, si erik na super pasenshoso at super bait na hindi basta-bastang nagagalit, nairita kay ate. hindi ko kinaya, hehe. sabi ni erik, “sige, mamaya.. kakain muna kami.” at eto namang si ate na pinaglihi sa toyo tinapik ung nakasabit na sign na pay as you order at sabihan ba naman si erik na “pakibasa nalang po.” si ate o gumaganun? nagaangas ang mokang. at shempre ang erik hindi nagpatalo at lalong nainis. nagbayad ng 100 at nagdemand ng sukli right after. nagkaron pa ng sagutan. hinihingi ni erik ang pangalan ni ate pero ate refused to give out her name. sabi naman ni erik, “bakit ayaw mo sabihin pangalan mo, natatakot ka ba?” at ayun si ate bumangka pa.. sabi ba naman, “bat naman ako matatakot?” hodiba????? antaray!! shemes na yan.

so napikon na ako ng bonggang bongga. hindi ko na kinaya ang pagaangas ni ate. sabi ko, “anong problema mo? diba dapat kasi nagtatanong kayo kung lalagyan ng chili o hindi? bakit ka nakikipagaway samin? tama ba yan? customer kami kaya umayos ka. magbabayad naman kami ha. ayusin niyo customer service niyo ha. nakakairita ka.” at ang ate, hindi sumasagot, at hindi rin makatingin samin. nakayuko sha at tinatarayan ang sahig. peste. kaya cinomplain namin sha.

pambihirang customer service yan. umakyat lahat ng dugo ko sa ulo e, hindi ko sha kinaya.

Ito ung SIOMAI HOUSE sa ground floor ng Victory Mall sa Monumento. Nasa tabi ng escalator. Left side kapag paakyat ka ng escalator. Ang dami na rin palang nagcocomplain about their customer service. Hindi naman sa sinasabi kong wag kayong bibili dun pero parang ganun na rin yon. haha.

Guards at Trinoma are soooooo unbelievable.

Hehe. oo umbelibabol sila. hindi pa ako nakatagpo ng guard dun na nagkamali ng pagbigay ng directions sakin. everytime.. as in everytime magtatanong ako, tama talaga sagot nila.

and to test kung gaano kagaling ung mga guard, nung last punta namin ni erik, tinest namin. nagtanong kami, as in ung tipo ng tanong na may mga follow-up pa. and the conversation went something like this:

E&Z: Kuya, excuse me.. san po YRYS.

G: Dun po (pointing to the opposite direction).

*Since may something sa activity center ng Trinoma, hindi namin natatanaw ung tinuturo niya.

E&Z: San po kami iikot?

G: Liko po kayo sa Red Ribbon.

*And guess what, tama sha! kamay sa dibdib! at take note, mabilis ung pagsagot, hindi ung parang nagisip pa.

———————————-

ang galing talaga. elibs ako, oo.. oa ba? o sige, itry niyo magtanong sa mga kamoteng guards ng SM. dati nagtanong ako, ang sagot ba naman “Naku, bago lang po ako dito.” Palusot. Or kung totoo man, should that be an excuse? Basta natutuwa talaga ako ng bonggang bongga sa guards ng Trinoma.

Dey are soooo umbelibabol-tubol-marmol-kuhol!

oo, insecure ako. e ano naman?

I feel insecure, so whut? what’s the fuss? kasalanan ba ang maging insecure paminsan? if it is, to whom should i apologize? kelangan ko ba magconfess sa pari? i sure know that it’s a negative thing but i don’t think it’s a sin. i see it as a phase, at least for me. hindi naman ako habang buhay maiinsecure. ang OA naman kung ganun diba.

when one feels insecure, maraming factors yan. but the gist of it all is that you think that the person’s better than you in some ways and you cannot accept it. you don’t want it that way. since wala kang magawa na immediate action regarding that, you cope with the situation by feeling insecure. diba? also, it does not mean that you hate the person.

like me, naiinsecure ako ngayon sa isang particular na babae. aminado ako. kasi naman, she’s pretty, magaling sumayaw, and *blah — sa akin na lang ung isang reason. i don’t hate her. i don’t even despise her. akshali parang nagooverlap ung inggit and insecurity.. related sila, parang ganun. wala pa naman sigurong naaresto at nakulong on grounds of pleading guilty about insecurity no? okay. based on my experience, feeling insecure towards a person can both be a harmful and helpful thing. depende e. harmful if mag-settle ka na sa idea na s/he’s better than you. kasi nakakadepress ung ganun diba. but it’s helpful naman if it will serve as some sort of motivation to be better.

if it’s the latter, i think there’s something that we should ask to ourselves.. something that i’ve been ponderin’ about lately. tama ba na gamitin ang insecurity as a motivation to become better? kasi diba pag ganun, it’s like you’re competing with that person when the only person you should be competing with is YOURSELF. MESELF. Pero in fairness to my situation, naha-hype talaga ako to become better lalo na sa mga aspects na sa tingin ko (right now) ay lamang sha sakin. ampanget pakinggan at ang loser, i know. that’s why i’m trying to redirect things regarding this matter.

if i really want to become better, i should do it for myself. yan ang pilit kong sinasaksak sa isip ko. and not to prove that i am better than her. mas healthy kasi un diba? the only problem is, it’s difficult coz the situation itself is vague. you cannot draw the line between the two. i sometimes get confused if i’m on the right track - you know, trying not to use my insecurity as the main motivation coz oftentimes, the two situations seem to overlap.

ang hirap. so if you’ve a better idea? share niyo naman. you might actually help a lot of insecure people out there, not just me. :D

excerpt la-ang itey :)

This is just an excerpt of what I wrote in my ABOUT ME page in my Wordpress account. Haha.

"...I believe that spirits/ghosts roam around us and that they are here. Sometimes they sit beside you. They stand behind you while you raid your ref for food. They stare back at you when you stare outside your car window. They lie beside you at night and consume every free space in your bed. They accompany you at the wash room and sings with you when you sing your jam, you just can’t hear them. They are basically everywhere. I know because I see them. I feel them..."

too many memories.

the past few days i've been thinking of getting rid of my phone. wala lang. bukod sa natatamad na ako magdelete ng na-imbak na mga messages since june (NOTE: 4,264 sa inbox and 4111 sa sent items), it just reminds me of too many things. may sad at may happy.. wala lang. sobrang maraming alaala itong phone na ito... may mga ilang memories na ayoko na maalala hanggat maaari... mga memories na ayoko na balikan EVAHHH. haha, conyo?

one close friend of mine told me ang weird ko raw. kasi usually daw pag maraming memories dapat mas nagiging attached ka sa bagay na un. kumbaga, it already has its sentimental value. pero wala eh ganun e. walang basagan ng trip.

too many memories... some of which i'd like to TOTALLY leave behind.
ano bang magandang phone? suggestions.. anyone?

new blog account =D

i have a new account. just wanted to try wordpress. here's the link. Click the (heart)

i'm still goin' to keep this active and updated so if ever this blog link is included on your blogroll, please do not remove it. add niyo na lang ung wordpress ko.. para masaya. :D

i had a bad day.

i had a terrible morning. ampanget ng gising ko. ganun ata talaga pag nakatulog ka na may something, hanggang panaginip susundan ka. buti na lang come before lunch, things started to get better. i started smiling sa office. i finally showed some enthusiasm sa ginagawa ko. naka-pick up din sa wakas ng energy.

okay. ang loner lang ng dating ko. dahil si Momi Grace ay naka-maternity leave na, nag-adjust kami ng breaktime. so alanganin ung breaktime ko, laging wala akong kasabay kumain. tipong pagdating ko sa canteen, kakaalis lang ng mga tao… as in inaabutan ko madalas ung mga crew na nagliligpit at nagpupunas ng tables. jusko, para akong gumagawa ng mtv tuwing lunchbreak. ang lungkot kumain mag-isa.

overtime. yes, nagpapalaki ako ng salary. umoovertime lang. hehe. i need to recover from my saksakan-ako-ng-malas-experience last payday. i stayed at the office until around 6:30. went home with ate ayen (our AOTL). of course, as usual, anhirap sumakay ng jeep. we waited for around 20 minutes before we were able to get a ride. ayun, pag-akyat namin sa jeep parang napaisip na kami agad na mag-back out. naman! ang asim ng amoy sa loob ng jeep. nakasara pa halos lahat ng bintana. umaygas talaga. grabe. at eto pa ang mas masaya.. ang traffic! shemes.

sa wakas, nakauwi rin ng bahay. pagdating at hanggang ngayon, nakaupo lang ako dito sa harap ng pc. inuugat nanaman. friendster dito, multiply doon. message dito, sagot doon. tapos bukas, ganun lang ulit.

anyone familiar with Paulo Coelho’s Veronika Decides to Die?

JUST A REPOST. Cute. Read On! :)

From Odell's site.Read it guys, it might actually help you. :)
Go Girls!! haha.


What is a perfect girlfriend? They say there's no such thing as perfection, and that she doesn't exist. Oh trust me darling, she does.

She dresses up all cute and pretty every time you take her out on a date. This is her way of keeping you interested as your eyes are locked solely on her. You stare at other girls instead, and she gets hurt and upset that all her time and effort were put to waste.
You call her insecure.

She holds on to you like she's never letting you go. This is her way of telling other girls that she's lucky that she has you, and no, you're not available.
You call her clingy.

She calls you the sweetest nicknames, or ones that only you two will understand. This is her way of saying how special you are, and that there's nobody else in this world like you. You call other girls "babe" just as how you would call her, and she gets disappointed.
You call her shallow and jealous.

She checks up on you, making sure you made it home safely or that you're not out getting yourself into any kind of trouble. This is her way of showing how often she thinks about you and that she worries constantly because that's how much she cares.
You say she's nagging.

She cries when you do or say something wrong.
This is her way of saying"That hurt only because YOU said it and I love YOU." You call her overly sensitive and emotional.

She loves you more than you love her.
This is her way of dealing with the fact that your relationship wasn't like how it used to be, but she is willing to make room for more love and some changes. You push her away. You call her dramatic and annoying.

So go ahead.
Try to
leave the insecure, clingy, jealous, nagging, overly sensitive, annoying girl. She will soon be much happier in the arms of someone who actually deserves her: the perfect boyfriend.

one night only. hormones lang 'to, hormones lang.

this isn’t about the E-heads concert, okay. So if you expect to read something about Eheads, you might want to close this window or tab na lang and put your time to a better use.

wala lang. malungkot ako today. hindi ko ma-explain yung root… marami kasing factors. atsaka ewan ko ba, umiral nanaman ang kawalan ko ng confidence sa sarili ko. i duno. lately kasi sobrang wasak ang self-esteem ko. aysows, hindi ko alam kung anong gamot sa ganitong kaartehan. shemes.

pero ngayon lang to. im trying something new now. i think if i stop dwelling to these kinds of kaartehan at kadramahan, it will eventually go away. pag bumalik edi ganun ulit… parang saykol (cycle) lang baga. kaya one night only. after tonight, i know i’ll be all better. may sapak lang talaga ako ngayon.

i need my medicine♥

erik, wru?
