October Reading List: Elizabeth Gilbert

The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert

She is also the author of the Julia Roberts-starrer "Eat Pray Love"


This book is a cult classic for women of my generation. This book propelled many ladies of my age to go to Bali! I wonder why I didn't get this book. It just didn't speak to me like so many other books did. Even the movie took me a long time of finishing. I'm a Julia Roberts fan, by the way.

I just hope the new book piques my interest and convert me to a Gilbert fan.

Any tips on how to best enjoy her books?

Villman Part 3

The online sales representative is short of helpful. She only selects the texts she wants to reply to. She doesn't give the customer the assurance and confidence that his/her money has been received, that the item has been shipped, or any relevant information that is required when dealing with online customers.

As an online seller myself, I always make it a point to inform my buyers of the progress of their orders. It lessens their stress and maximizes the chance of them becoming regular customers. I had to call their landline to make sure she is at the office because she's not responsive to e-mails nor texts. 
                           

Thank God for the person named Imar. He helped me with the shipment and called me up to inform me of the delays. While Jen (online rep) gave me a misleading shipping fee quote and did not want to sort out the confusion, Imar was the one who apologized for the lapse and went out of his way to do his job well. He e-mailed me my shipping receipts. Be aware that when you buy from Villman you will be shouldering all the costs, from styro to bubble wrap. It's fine with me because there are receipts to prove the purchase, though. 

I will receive the shipment this afternoon. Let's see if the product is worth the hassle. 

If you need help at Villman, better inquire with Imar.

Villman Horror Story

So, they've called me past banking hours that my package cannot be delivered because the shipping fee I paid is lacking.

D*mn!!

They were the one who gave the shipping fee and I just paid for it.

Miriam Quiambao and Ardy Roberto Are Engaged!


1999 Miss Universe 1st runner-up Miriam Quiambao got engaged recently to Ardy Roberto, author/speaker/entrepreneur.

If the wedding pushes through, this will be Miriam's second marriage. I hope she has really found the one.

Villman Online Shopping

I purchased a printer through Villman Online Shopping.

I already e-mailed them my deposit slip. But there has been no response yet.

Do they really have many online customers in a day that they can't spare me the time to send a quick e-mail back?

Any advice?

How I Met Your Mother Season 9

So, from the first 2 epsiodes,we already know who the Mother is. The episodes have been getting less interesting and dragging from season 8. 

But Episode 3 gave me hope that maybe this season would be as exciting as the first few seasons. It was fast-paced and had such a cliffhanger of an ending! I will be watching regularly this season. 

I wish Barneyand Robin will get married already! I love them both and I'm rooting for them. 


I love SCANDAL so much. I love Olivia Pope even more! I'm looking forward to the third season. How I wish she won the Emmy this year! She could have been the first woman of color who won a Best Actress in a Drama Series award. 



Denise & Sol Are Engaged

Can I just say that I really like Denise Laurel? Especially when she started posting videos and pictures of her son, Davian Alejandro, I checked her Instagram even more! He's just so cute and adorable.




I'm so elated that Denise finally met the man she wants to spend her life with. Sol Mercado, PBA Player and human swing to Alejandro, proposed to Denise yesterday during her birthday celebration. 



In this techie age, you know your friends care when they make collages of your face! Hahahah. Here are some pictures to celebrate:
