I Was Treated Well

In the field of customer service, your knowledge comes only after emotions. People do not care about what you know. They do not care if you are precise and concise in providing instruction. They do not care if you have memorized and understood everything in the conpanies procedure and practices.

What matters most is how they felt after talking to you. Their feeling will determine how well you are as a customer service representative. If they felt and treated right thier response will definitely and will always be positive. Its either they woulf say, "the representative I have spoken with answered and understood my situation" or they would say, "the representative keeps putting me on hold to find an answer to my question and I appreciate that".

The point of the matter is, I knew for a fact that Starbucks barista when it comes to dealing with their customer it is always above and beyond and so I am already expecting that when I visit their coffe shop they will talk to me and serve me well. However, when I was feeling exhausted, tired, worried and devastated I happen to drop by at STARBUCKS SHAW Boulevard WORLDWIDE CORP CENTER just to have a coffee just to ease these negativities its just like my stress food. I went in and of course the usual greetings and good smile. So I just ordered an paid my coffee.

I went ahead the table and lighted my cigarette and started drinking my coffee and puffing my cigarette.

I noticed in my cup the barrista had wrote: "HELLO CHARLTON and a smiley." It made me smile and it made my day. I then look back at the counter and saw him doing stuff and keeping himself busy while there are no customer around. I noticed his work attitude, his passion in what he do... I noticed he is damn good looking too... and I remembered the name in his tag... His name is CARLO.

See... just like me, I will soon realize how good the customer service representative after I felt good, I felt I was treated right. A simple Hello Charlton and a smiley ib my cup made me feel good because I wasnt expecting it. It is because a barista named Carlo went the extra mile in giving customer service.

THANK YOU CARLO! YOU MADE MY DAY!

KUYA J HALOHALO

Its my day off and my birthday month as well. So just for a quick getaway of my usual daily routine, I decided to finally splurge myself with just a little treat.

As I continue to explore the beauty of Filipino food and desserts. I decided to experience KUYA J's Halohalo. Kuya J is a newly opened restaurant in near my house (a few kilometers away to be exact). They I suppose specializes in Filipino cusine basing my judgement to their menu.

So I am so excited to once try thier halohalo. Halohalo is one of my favorite Filipino desert. Its one thing I usually devulge when humidity spikes up.

I must say that Kuya J's halohalo is one of the best halohalo I ever tasted. I must say that it scores really high on my standard of a very good Halohalo.

I think it is called halohalo because you have to mix all the ingredients together before eating it.

However Kuya J's halohalo is serve ready to it. Its creaminess and sweatness is highly commendable. Truly a must try dessert when visiting Kuya J's halohalo.

Have you tried dinning at Kuya J? Let me know your experience and the food you ordered? What do you recommend in thier menu?

July 16, 2015 is the day where magic sparks and made the whole Filipino community go gaga over Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza. An accidental segment in a noontime show that no one has ever thought it will rule the twitter world and the ratings.

I must say that this is the only FANDOM in the Philippine Showbiz that is so diverse that it includes all genders, every proffession from doctors to politicians to call center agents to doctors and nurses to overseas Filipino workers and lawyers; name it and I am sure it is well represented.

It has been one year where this segment of a NOONTIME show EAT BULAGA has been rocking the twitter world for one year with one million tweets each day.

The celebration was still crazy and lovely. The feeling from when it started is still the same for the fans.

As a proof everyone brings their support in twitter and started twitting about what was happening on that day. In exactly 24 hours, the hashtag for the day ended with more than six million tweets.

Not only Local celebrities are being hooked with ALDUB but this include some International celebrity like Bryan White who sang the Official love song for ALDUB, "GOD GAVE ME YOU". Ask a fan and I am sure they know God Gave Me You by heart.

Bryan White, a country singer in the US flew all the way from the US to the Philippines to be part of getting stronger Love Team of ALDEN RICHARDS and MAINE MENDOZA  ALDUB's 1st ANNIVERSARY Celebration. (Click here to visit Bryan White website)

To wrap it all up, the launching of their first movie together entitled Imagine You and Me is also well loved. Ticket sales and movie houses are definitely over flowing.

This two are definitely well loved by the fans. They get all the support they needed. The most talked about love team. The most active fandom worldwide.

The latest post of Maine Mendoza in instagram was also being shared and being talked about in twitter.

Why are these tandem so loved many Filipinos? Why is their audience so wide from toddlers to grandparents name it I am sure everyone knows them. Is their love simply for the show? Is the love story for real or reel? The so called "kilig" factor of their love story blew the roof of the biggest arena in the Philippines. Was it true love that makes it so believable that will make someone of all ages swoon and wish theyll have their own prince/princes charming woulf show up in a very mysterious way?

No matter what their secret is, it is working perfectly fine that no one can deny that their love is felt in every episode of KALYESERYE and or their movie/s. If you havent watched the movie yet, I encourage you I am sure you would be blown away as they transpire the love right to next to your heart.

Robert and His Piggy Bank

Cling! Clang! Cling! Clang!

“Sorbetes! Come have a piece of this delicious ice cream,” shouted the ice cream man!

“YEY!!!” chorus the kids.

“Mom! Buy me an ice cream!” says another kid. “Petra can we just skip that for now, you just ate sandwich and soda,” replied Petra’s mom.

“Mom, my playmates are eating their sorbetes,” Petra cried.

“OK!” Petra’s mother exclaimed.

“What about you Robert? Do you want some sorbetes?” Aling Martha asked her son Robert.

“Oh mom! Its ok I still have some money in my pocket and I don’t want to be spending on things I actually don’t need’” Robert replied.

“Waaaaahhhh Robert doesn’t have ice cream!” Robert’s playmate teases him. “Meh meh  meh meh, Robert doesn’t have an ice cream!”

“Come on Robert, I will buy you one,” said his mom Aling Martha.

“It’s ok mom, I already ate my lunch and I also made some sandwich at home,” Robert replied.

“So where do you spend your money that I am giving you every day?” asked her mom

“I buy water or juice when I already drank all the juice that I brought from home or I buy some candies as well when I felt like eating one. But I make sure I don’t spend everything I always drop a portion of my daily allowance in my piggy bank,” Robert’s long answer to his mom.

“Are you not jealous with your playmates, when they are eating candies, ice cream, drinking soda or buying some toys at Ms Bebang’s store?” asked his mom.

“Ma, I have sandwich, I brought with me my lunch and I have toys at home, I am also already full and I don’t need to eat all those every day,” Robert replied.

“Ok”, replied his mom.
Days and months have passed. Robert continued dropping a portion of his allowance in his piggy bank. He was able to fill up three large piggy bank. Robert is excited to count how much he was able save. Excitedly he broke his piggy bank open and counted all the coins.

“AHA!”, Robert exclaimed. “Its my mom’s birthday tomorrow, I think I can buy her a new dress! I will surprise her, she has been working all day and I think I can just simply give her something.”

The following morning, Robert woke up and as usual his mother is rushing cooking while doing the dishes.

“Mom!”, called Robert!

“What! Come on you’ll be late. And I will be late at my work too.”, she exclaimed.

“Just come here mom I have something to show you!” Robert exclaimed.

Robert’s mom rushed at Robert’s room very worried. When she arrives at Robert’s room.

“Surprise!!!!! Happy Birthday Mom! I broke one of my piggy bank because so I could buy you a gift!”

“Oh I love you my son! Thank you so much!” Robert’s my cried. “You saved a portion of your money so you can buy me a gift on my birthday, you should just buy some toys for yourself” she continued.

“Oh mom! I still have more don’t worry and I will just a toy when I already broke some of the toys,” Robert answered.

“Wow! You really surprised me Robert. I have a suggestion to you my son, let’s open a bank account for you so every time you filled up your piggy bank, let’s deposit it from there in that way when you need something in the future you would have something to use. Plus it won’t get stolen or lost because the bank will take good care of your money,” Aling Martha told her son Robert.

“Sure! I would love to do that mom”, Robert replied.

“Look mom I also bought a new bag and it’s my favorite super hero SUPERMAN”, Robert happily showed his mom his new bag that he bought.

Robert and his mom happily had their breakfast. After they had their breakfast, Aling Martha walked Robert to his school.

On their way to school, Robert saw his classmate playing.

“Wow! Robert you had a new bag and it’s Superman!”, exclaimed Alex. “Look guys Robert had a new bag!”

Robert proudly smiled to Alex!

All the children gathered around Robert to check on the new bag.

“I will ask my mom to buy me one too!” said another children

“Me too!” said another.

“Aling Martha, where did you buy Robert’s bag?” asked Marvin

“I did not buy the bag, Robert did and he bought me a dress too for my birthday,” Aling Martha answered.

“Wow! Robert where did you get your money. I saw that bag at the mall and its pretty expensive,” asked Greg.

“I am saving a portion of my allowance in my piggy bank so I can buy something when I needed something to buy. My mom also said she will open a bank account for me so I could put my money that I saved in my piggy bank every time it gets full,” Robert explained.

From then on, Robert continued saving a portion of his allowances in his piggy bank and every time it gets filled up, his mother accompanies Robert in the bank.

Also, his classmates’ gets so inspired since Robert can buy expensive things by simply saving a portion of their allowance in their own piggy bank.
