BEWARE of BUYANIHAN and MARCO AVENTANADO (AVENTAJADO) of CATALYST REVOLUTION INC!

We went to Resorts World to watch The Sound of Music, which we got tickets from BUYANIHAN only to find out the8PM show got moved by BUYANIHAN and this MARCO AVENTADO of CATALYST REVOLUTION INC to 2PM without even informing us buyers! We also found out that this 8PM show has long been moved in lieu of 2 Cellos also from this Marco Aventado and nobody from your office even informed us! WHAT KIND OF SERVICE IS THAT?

We even got an email confirmation from JIEGGARDMATE YARANON, last 01/18/2012 who confirmed our seats and he also did not inform us about the change. Your voucher indicated redemption would be on the 20th STARTING at 12 NOON, we were there 5PM and NOBODY was there.

Dear Buyanihan,

I demand a full refund and no I would not accept Buyanihan credits as I have no plans of buying from your site after the hassle and the humiliation your company has put us through. I strongly suggest you action on this immediately or you would hear from DTI and our lawyers.

p.s.

No, I have no intentions of taking down this post until this matter is resolved.

       Maan

edit:
Found thisLinkedIn profile, it seems Marco Aventanado (indicated on the voucher) is actually Marco Aventejado:

UPDATE 01/24/2012:

Spoke with Mackie D. of Buyanihan, she told me they were only informed that the show got moved 4PM the same day, which I find a bit hard to believe as Resorts World told us it has long been moved. Anyway, as of the moment, they have yet to discuss whether they would provide us another set of vouchers or they would credit back the payment. Will wait for feedback within 48 hours. We'll see.

UPDATE: FEB 2012
We got the refund! Thanks Mackie of Buyanihan, you're very efficient, a hard find these days! :)

Awful Work Week

It was a bad, bad work week for me. I made mistakes I shouldn't be making plus I got accused of mistakes I didn't even make. 

I just wish before people start talking, they'd at least ensure that they know what they are talking about. It was hard enough that I made that stupid error, then to be accused of committing another one without even double-checking what really happened, UGH, it was just so frustrating. Anywaaaaaaaay. I heard we're facing 2 hours of overtime everyday next week. I'm just hoping I'll be able to get through it, without further mishaps.

I am so looking forward to Wednesday, my first vacation leave in, I think, 2 months. yey!

Please.

Got really tempted to post this in Facebook but I'm trying so hard not to, so just thought of letting it all out here:

Dear All,

Please stop asking me questions I dont have answers to. No, I dont know when. No, obviously, I'm still not. No, I dont know why. PLEASE! I'm getting tired of hearing it over and over again. I'm seriously at my wits end and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna blow if another person asks me about this.

Can you just be happy for us? Seriously. We are happy as is, just in case you're curious (insert sarcasm). I know you guys probably mean well but come on, dont you have any other questions? Dont you have anything else to say to me? I'm sorry, but I seriously do not think that it's the end all and be all of a great  marriage and I'm pretty sure it's not a requirement.

If it's gonna come, it will, but as of now we're perfectly fine. So please, I'm begging you: PLEASE STOP ASKING.

maan

p.s.

and oh FYI: no we're not in a race, so who the hell cares if they had kids first or if some already have two? does that automatically mean they're happier? cause the last time I checked my husband and I are very much happy. We're fine, we're doing good, thankyouverymuch.

Pilar Homeowners Village Association: PLEASE TRAIN YOUR GUARDS!

I need to calm down. Breathe Maan breathe.

One of my biggest pet peeves is the inability of the people from the service industry to actually serve. Ugh.

I had another run in with a security guard from Pilar. Normally, I am nice to guards. I have NEVER in my life even as much as raised my voice to any of them. In fact I try to be extra nice when dealing with security people. But this particular security guard from Pilar Village in Las Piñas irked the heck out of me. I’m so pissed that I cannot even think straight right now.

FYI Mr. Security Guard: just because you carry a gun and wear a uniform doesn’t give you the right to be rude to people.  I may not be a homeowner, but I can easily pay your 20 pesos! And to the Pilar Homeowners Village Association: kindly train your guards to be respectful. This is not the first time we’ve encountered rude security guards from your village or at least get a security agency that can do so . The first one tried to sell us your sticker for 300 pesos more and now this?! Geez!

sickly ramblings

I have been feeling like hell for the past couple of days. On and off cough and colds coupled with fever practically drained every energy I have in my body.

I braved work Monday but by Tuesday afternoon, I was depleted. Called in sick, never got a confirmation from my boss. I was pissed off. I mean, isn’t confirming part of basic decency? Waited until about 11pm, still had not gotten any reply. Whatever. If that’s how she wants to play it, then I’m game.

Came to work Wednesday night, I was still sick. So sick that I forgot my ID and had to get papa to bring it for me. Sigh. What a day. November feels like eons away. I want to quit, NOW. I don’t know how long I can take this kind of treatment or how long my patience will last.

a little rant

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not the world’s most positive person. Heck I don’t even come close. But lately I have been noticing that more and more people tend to look for the negative in another person. It seems like we tend to gear towards putting down other people instead of trying to pull them up.

Like the past couple of months I have been telling a friend how much weight he has lost and every single time another person, who was really not part of the conversation in the first place, would chime in saying otherwise.  

Or if you see someone you haven’t seen for a long time, you can bet on it that someone, somewhere would always say: “ang taba mo..” or “ang laki ng tinaba mo..” or “lumulusog ka ata..”

I know us Filipinos usually find it funny when we make fun of others but it has been getting on my nerves lately.
