Reseller hosting

I have mentioned in previous entries of mine that if it weren’t for the help I got from a blogger-friend of mine when I was starting with blogging, I wouldn’t be where I am right now. I have learned a lot ever since that fateful meeting of the minds via my oldest blog. One of the things I learned was having my own web hosting account. Whereas before I didn’t even know what a cpanel was, now I know my way in it.

Because of the kindness I got from that blogger-friend, I made it a mission of sorts to help aspiring bloggers out there. Should they want to have their own web hosting, I offer help. What’s more, I am thinking of getting a Reseller Hosting plan soon. I want to be able to help bloggers by giving them the option to have their own web hosting. I want to be the one to help them transition from a free hosting account to a paid one.

Pickaweb.co.uk is offering this very thing I want to offer fellow bloggers. Reseller hosting. I can host unlimited domains, setup different hosting plans under it, assign control panels so they can learn on their own as well. If you want the same package, go to Pickaweb.co.uk now!

Maynilad Water’s Customer Service

I have written before about Maynilad Water’s 24/7 Hotline 1626. I really like the fact that when my dad reported the sudden water interruption in our area, someone, an officer I would assume, from Maynilad made a follow-up call asking about the previous call my dad made. In that follow-up call, the officer told my dad that he will schedule a Maynilad personnel to visit us and check about my dad’s report.

This morning, the personnel from Maynilad came and checked on the validity of my dad’s report. He checked our water connection and was convinced that we have poor water supply in our area. In fact, since six this morning, there’s no water supply anymore.

You know, I am raving about Maynilad Water’s Customer Service because this is how it should be done. As a customer, I am satisfied with how they are handling my dad’s report. First, there’s a follow-up call. Mind you, it took a while because the guy who called up really listened to my dad and asked questions in turn. Then, this visit from their personnel.

Again, calling on local utility companies and DSL companies I’ve ranted about… this is how a customer complaint/report should be handled. Learn from it!

Boyet Fajardo - Duty Free Philippines incident

First Update: March 23, 2009 7:41PM after airing of the official news at TV Patrol World.

Have you heard about this Boyet Fajardo-Duty Free Philippines scandal? If you haven’t yet, the incident goes like this…

Last March 13, 2009, Filipino fashion designer Boyet Fajardo created a scene in Duty Free Philippines. He threw a humongous tantrum and threatened to have two employees of the said store fired. Guess why? A cashier politely asked for an ID because he presented an unsigned credit card! WTF?!@?%$

If you have been using your credit card in major shopping stores lately, you know that it is standard operating procedure to be asked for an identification for the card you are presenting. That’s SOP these days. Even if your credit card is signed and has a photo.

Fajardo reportedly got angry and berated the poor cashier, now named as Marvin Fernandez, and the store managerofficers of Duty Free, named as Susan Gonzales. Officers arrived at the sceneGonzales tried to pacify the angry designer to no avail. Fajardo whipped out his cellphone, threatening to call on a high positioned government official. Dito pa lang nagpi-feeling na itong designer na ito! And then onlookers were shocked when he shouted…

Mga leche kayo! Hindi niyo ako kilala? Ako si Boyet Fajardo! At itong p…ina na babaeng ito (pointing to a lady officer) at ang baklang ito (pointing to the cashier) ay walang kwentang mga tao! I want them fired!!!

An officer Gonzales asked him what he wanted just to calm him down. Did you know what he wanted? For the poor cashier to kneel down in front of him so he could slap his face! The poor cashier had no choice but to kneel down in front of the high-flying designer. There’s a video of this incident below…

The poor cashier was crying in shame afterwards. Have you seen it? No, he was not slapped. But then, what happened to him was more than being slapped!

You know, I am all for customer rights and all that. I have been writing about it here again and again. But you should know if you are in the right or wrong. Boyet Fajardo was clearly wrong in throwing his weight on a hapless cashier when the only “fault” of the poor guy was to ask for an ID from him. You can be a well-known personality, yes. But when it’s SOP to present an ID, do it! Hindi yung ipagmamanduhan mo na well-known personality ka!

Para naman sumikat na siya.

A Concerned Citizen is now calling for a boycott of the products being sold under Boyet Fajardo. He’s apparently selling his clothes in major malls. The information given by the Concerned Citizen is as follows:

With such disrespect, discrimination and humiliation towards a good worker, a less fortunate person and a fellow Filipino…

1. We are calling all citizens to stop patronizing Boyet Fajardo’s RTW labels such as Substance in SM department stores, Boyet Fajardo and Initials in Landmark and Robinson’s department stores.
2. We are calling on all malls to pull out or stop distributing his products in your outlets.
4. We are calling on the Commission on Human Rights, Department of Labor and Employment and all human rights and labor activists to take appropriate legal actions on this matter.
5. We are calling all foreign embassies to deny him of entry to your respective countries.
6. We are calling on the Fashion Designers Association of the Philippines to dishonor him of his membership and profession.

…To give him a lesson and to help us stop him from victimizing the underprivileged over and over and over again.

You do not show your evil side in public and not expect a backlash. Remember that, Boyet Fajardo!

You can check out the video shown at ABS-CBN’s TV Patrol World last night.

By the way, you can also read this blog about Fajardo. This was also one of my sources for this entry.

Let me clarify something… I am not the source of this news. I got the details from the Concerned Citizen. But before that, my sister read a tabloid column last March 18, 2009, Direct Hit by Itchie Cabayan at People’s Tonight with the same details. Only, it was a blind item. Then when I read this same blind item at Seen/Scene of Pilipino Star Ngayon, I made some searches and found the Concerned Citizen’s petition to boycott Boyet Fajardo.

Sunny days are here!

On a sunny day like this, I wish we have really good patio furniture so I can work there instead. I love it when the sun is gently beating down on my back. And I have a cold buko juice while working. Bliss!

For the past few days now, I’ve been feeling restless. I need a change of something. I am thinking since I haven’t rearranged my desk and other things here in my corner at home, my little home-office set up, it might have something to do with it. Or just plain laziness on my part? Hehe

I just know that I need something done as soon as possible. I need to be more productive now.

Gifts for special occasions

I make it a point to give gifts to family and relatives on special occasions. This is actually just a way of saying that I remember them on an occasion that is special to them. You see, I hardly see some of my relatives and I feel guilty that I only see them during weddings, funerals and reunions.

Anniversary gifts are the ones I commonly send out. I note anniversaries in my organizer and make sure that I send them either wine or something I know they will enjoy. Now, since it’s graduation months, I am checking out graduation gifts for the cousins who will be graduating. Something useful to them. The new college students will be getting something that they can use in their dorm. The high school ones will probably get an organizer from me.

If you are also looking for gifts for special occasions, go to ShopWiki.com instead of just searching through the common search engines. At ShopWiki, you are assured you will see web sites that sell these special items at discounted prices. Check out ShopWiki.com now.

Rappity Rap!

This time, let’s rap!

I am not that much of a rap-metal fan but there are some songs in that genre that I can appreciate. I am not that much a fan of loud music. I love alternative songs and dance music is my current “obsession” but songs that are just too loud…

What about you? Let me know your preference.
