Beware of a person named ARNOLD GOMEZ of GUESS Shop in MOA

I had a very terrible experience with a disrespectful, ill-mannered, and rude employee of a Guess Shop in SM Mall Of Asia.

I had a scheduled meeting with one of my December brides in MOA this afternoon and I decided to bring along Inigo and Mama since Ian can just pick us up there after he goes out of the office. Not knowing that Manny Pacquiao will be there at around 2pm, there were so many people gathered around the stage and within the area. We didn't even plan to watch hence, we decided to walk around and look for some place to eat instead. With the number of people in the area, you can hardly see where you are walking and you can hardly breathe. And since there are shops within the area, we decided to stop at GUESS boutique to catch some air and to let some people pass by since we are with Inigo and we are afraid that in any moment, there would be a stampede since Manny just came out of the stage and all of the people are trying to catch a glimpse of him and were running to the stage area.

We stopped at the front door of GUESS and after a few seconds, a guy was already telling us to go out. He is one of the staff of GUESS and he is standing beside the door. I told him that we will just let some people pass by since we are with a kid. He insisted and with a loud voice, he shouted at me saying "Ayan na o naglalakad na yung mga tao. Pwede na kayong dumaan!" At this point, i was fuming mad! Firstly, he should not be shouting at me. He could have said it in a more polite manner. He reasons out that we are blocking the entrance of their shop. Their door was wide open and at that point, we only occupy one side of the door. Nevertheless, he should have just told us to come inside so as not to block the door. I shouted at him also telling him that he need not to shout at me and I was asking him, "Baket, bawal ba dito?! Nakita mo nang madaming tao sa labas, hindi ba pwedeng maghintay ng saglit?" And at this point, we were already shouting at each other. Ian was not able to contain it also since he was hearing how the staff was shouting at me and reasoning out, Ian shouted at him also. I asked for the Store Manager and she was just staring at us when I saw her. She was apologetic however, she did not ask her staff to stop shouting and reasoning out.

The staff's name as what the Store Manager (Caludette Gaba) told me, is ARNOLD GOMEZ. I am planning to file a formal complaint to Calfiornia Clothing Inc., the distributor of GUESS here in the Philippines. I really feel that we were disrespected by this person and that their staffs should be given a training in customer service. Even if we just stopped by the store, we are still considered as customers and we should be given due respect. I have been a customer of GUESS ever since and I am really disappointed and upset about what happened.

I wasn't able to take a picture of ARNOLD GOMEZ but once I get hold a picture of him, i'll post it in this blog.

We're going on a trick or treating!

I was able to visit Fun Ranch's website and found out that they will be having their Trick or Treat on Oct24. Excited as I can be, I immediately registered the kids when I learned that only the first 500kids who will register can actually join. You can just imagine a grin on my face when I received an email reply regarding the registration. It would be in Tiendesita's in Ortigas and I thought that it would be a lot better if it will be in their Alabang branch but hey, we are still joining!

Here's their websites:

Weekend Family Day

We usually spend our weekdays in the mall or going out of town to visit relatives. As for today, we went to ATC for Kuya Nigo's haircut, had our usual dinner at KFC. I have let Inigo taste DQ's Blizzard and he loved it! He is most of the time not into sweets but I think that the strawberry flavored ice cream did the trick. I am so looking forward to the day when Laureen can actually enjoy our family days :D

High Five Hi5!

i promise to blog about this tomorrow. haha. i accidentally signed off in gmail which automatically signed me off too here in blogspot while my quite very long post is just saving! argh! for the sake of my sanity, (and yeah it's almost 1am already), I am posting the pictures I uploaded through slide :D

'tl tomorrow, bloggers!

Hi-5 in SM Malls!

Inigo got all excited when he saw Hi5 perform in Wowwowwee today. I readily google-ed details about the event and found out that SM Malls will be sponsoring the show in coordination with Australian Embassy in promoting Australia as a tourist destination.

We will be watching their show tomorrow, Sept3 at The Podium at 5pm. We will be braving the hassle of commute since the car is on color-coding every Thursdays. Goodluck to us!

Our DORA Experience

We had the chance to watch Dora and Boots live and perform one episode last August 21 at ATC. The concierge ran out of show tickets so we ended up posting ourselves beside the stage. Inigo was a bit starstruck-ed when Dora and Boots first came out and he did not even blink all through out the show! Laureen was in deep sleep even with the loud sound :)

Here are some pics:

Thank you Tita Cory!

Me and my family joins the Philippine nation in mourning for the loss of one of our modern-day heroes, ex-President Corazon C. Aquino. I quote Fr. Mario Sobrejuanite, "Thank you God for the gift of Cory."

I hope that this will be a turning point as far as our government is concerned. Let's not put to waste what Cory fought for.

Salamat, Paalam at Hanggang sa muli Tita Cory!

Another year, another chance

God has given me another year and I consider it as a chance for me to become a better person. So much has happened in my life and I can not thank God enough for all the good things that happened at the same time.

I hope and pray that God will continue to guide me as I continue to journey and to try to be the best that I can be.
