Knock on Her Door

Image courtesy of www.stockphotopro.com

It all started when this actor visited her place to check out some of the items that she was selling to him. He became friends with her after he bought a few pieces from her collection. Somewhere along the way, he got attracted to her physically and visited her more often. 

Things have come a long way since the first time they met. This actor now regularly knocks on her door not to buy anything from her but to share intimate times with her. I just hope that the actor's girlfriend will not be banging on her door when she finds out about their secret rendezvous.

Do you know who this actor is? Due to the sensitivity of this topic, I would like to request you to observe the guidelines in posting comments. Keep in mind that initials and comments that are too explicit are not allowed.

There's No Comparison

Image courtesy of www.livingacreativelife.com

The top executives of this network moved heaven and earth after they found out that the management of this star was seriously negotiating with another network. Although the counter offer of this network was nothing close to that of the rival station, her management decided to accept it after taking into account the relationship that the star has built with the said network.

During the signing of the new contract, the management of this star made a simple request to the network. The request was for the network to avoid associating the name of this star with this certain new star that the network has been trying to build up. Her camp further emphasized that there's just no comparison between the two stars.

The truth is our fellow ground crew was not on strike yesterday. They are inside the airport very willing to work but their access to computer, phones, radios were  blocked by the management which caused chaos. How could these employees work without access to these equipment? Due to the situation, the management decided to cancel all the flights.

He's Just Expressing What's on His Mind?

Image courtesy of www.forbes.com

Almost all of the female hosts of this television show are not in good terms with this certain male host. He feels like he is the star of the show. He uses a very annoying tone of voice whenever he speaks to them. He belittles their opinions and suggestions and even makes offensive remarks when he hears something that he does not agree with.

A couple months prior to the departure of this female host from their show, she was already not in speaking terms with this male host. This started when the male host said something nasty about her and her husband. Well, I guess these girls don't have to put up with him for long because the show has been consistently receiving low ratings. 

Do you know who this male television host is? I suggest that you follow micsylim on Twitter if you need additional clues. Please observe the guidelines in posting comments.

Letter From a Reader: My Mobile Number is Being Used by Another Person

Image courtesy of www.bottaboom.com

Dear Fashion PULIS,

This certain Telecommunications company allowed my cell number (since 2004) to be used by an another person.

This all started 2 weeks ago when I was getting unknown texts addressed to a certain Jen - and upon my inquiry, they are saying this Jen person is using a number same as mine. I already had my SIM changed last week thinking the problem will go away. But still I continue to get this Jen's texts, but to a lesser degree. At the back of my mind I was thinking, if this Jen person was able to text these people using my number, surely she can make calls too. And true enough, this month's bill was proof of that. Good thing I saved some of the unknown texts' numbers and compared it to my bill. Shocking. These unknown numbers appeared on my bill. From my usual P5000 bill it became P8000++ . The bulk of my bill went to the long calls this Jen made to other networks (2-3 hour calls). There was one particular number my phone supposedly called - total calls to this one number alone was over P3000.

As I write this, I'm on the phone with a the customer representative and they agreed to adjust/lower my bill by P2000, then plus the rewards points that I converted into rebates should lower my bill significantly. Also, I was able to get a hold of this Jen's sister just now (from one of the text numbers I investigated) and she assured me that Jen finally changed her number 2 weeks ago. The sister apologized profusely and offered to pay my bill but since I'm a nice guy - I decided to let it pass. What concerns me is that this telecommunications company has done a really sloppy job on phone security. I will still have to wait for next month's bill to see if it would go back to a normal amount. In fairness, the customer and technical service were polite and tried their best to appease me.

I pray this doesn't happen to you.

Yours truly,
Brian Cua

The Greatest Performance

Image courtesy of www.amazon.com

Last week, this female television host/singer shared the stage with some up and coming male talents on this variety show. Prior to their actual performance, she refused to attend their scheduled rehearsal because she feels that these newbies are not worthy of her precious time. She even told the production team not to worry about it because she will be able to pull it off on the day of the performance for sure. 

In her attempt to outperform the boys during the actual performance, she started doing all sorts of ad-lib to make her stand out. The guys were clueless as to what she was singing. The production number was a total mess. It seemed more like she was doing the greatest solo performance of her life with the poor boys as her back-up singers. I guess this was her plan from the very beginning.

Do you know who this television host/singer is? I suggest that you follow micsylim on Twitter if you need additional clues on this post. Please observe the guidelines in posting comments. Always keep in mind that initials and comments that are too explicit will not be allowed.

A 2.5 Million Peso FAKE Hermes Crocodile Birkin

This Hermes Fuchsia Crocodile Birkin looks genuine to the untrained eye. Since it would be next to impossible to get something like this from the Hermes store, a collector bought this from an online bag reseller (begins with the letter L) for 2.5 million pesos. She almost had a heart attack when an Hermes aficionado told her that this bag was fake. 

Here are some pointers on how to spot a fake Hermes Bag:

• Study the hardware. Hermes bags have a covering to protect the hardware, which the store does not remove until you purchase the bag. The hardware is solid, not hollow. The logo, a carriage and horse, is engraved on the hardware. Hermes engraving means the letters or design is lower than the surface, not raised above the surface. 
• Examine the stitching. An authentic bag will have straight, even stitches and no loose threads. Also, the thread will match the bag, a sign that Hermes bags are quality workmanship. 
• Look at the front face of the bag. The name "Hermes Paris, Made in France" is always stamped on the front face. 
• Look for the date the bag was manufactured. The artisan's mark and the year the bag was manufactured are stamped beneath the right belt. 
• Check the inside of the bag. Hermes bags do not have a metal nameplate. Also, examine the leather carefully. Hermes bags are made of the finest leather. It will not have defects. 
• To understand the quality and workmanship of a Hermes bag, go to a Hermes boutique and examine the handbags. Look at the quality of the lining, feel the purity of the leather, and pay attention to the elegant, understated details. Once you have seen an authentic bag, you will be able to spot a fake Hermes.

The Manager's Pet

Image courtesy of www.vintersections.com

The career of this actor slowed down after he finished his stint on this television show. Since he was not getting enough projects since then, he moved to the house of his manager and lived there. It has almost been four years and he still stays with his manager.

In fairness to this manager, he has been very generous to this actor. He takes care of the actor's needs and wants. One of his cars is reserved for the exclusive use of this actor. He even used his own resources to produce a film to help revive the actor's career.  

Now that this actor has regained his popularity, I just hope that he does not leave his manger. Can you identify who he is based on the clues?

Official Statement of the Drink Company

I have always believed that there are two sides to every story. I just read this message on the Facebook page of the company that is related to the Letter from a Reader: A Cockroach in My Drink  post so I decided to share it with all of you.

To our valued customers:
Our stores have always followed the safety, cleanliness and quality standards set by the brand’s international operator, and our ingredients are sourced from approved suppliers that adhere to the same strict standards.

In response to the recent claim that questions these procedures, we strongly caution anyone from jumping to conclusions without knowing the condition in which the said drink was kept. As the drink had already been out of the store for several hours, the connection between the incident and the branch where the drink originated cannot be thoroughly substantiated. 

The company works hard to ensure the well-being of our customers, and we give you our utmost assurance that we have and will continue to consistently strive to exceed the brand’s global standards. We happily remain at your service.

Don't Reveal Your Age

Image courtesy of www.zazzle.com

Are the type of person who would like about your age? In show business, most actors don't reveal their real age. In fact it is already a common practice for them to subtract three to five years from their biological age depending on their looks.

Last week, when a reporter asked this actor about his age, he told him that he will be celebrating his 30 birthday later this year. This actor might have forgotten that the same reporter asked for his age a few years ago and he also told him that  he was 30. I guessed he stopped counting when he reached that age.

Do you know who this actor is? According to Wikipedia, he will be turning 32 years old later this year. I did my own research and I was able to find out that he is already between 36 to 37 years old.

Please follow micsylim on Twitter if you need additional clues on the actor. Kindly continue to send your juicy stories to: michaelsylim@gmail.com. Thank you very much for loving Fashion PULIS!

Letter from a Reader: A Cockroach in My Drink

Dear Fashion PULIS,

I am sending you this photo to inform you and your readers that you have to pay attention to what you eat or drink. I have already consumed more than half of the drink when I noticed that there was a cockroach in my drink. It was really very disgusting! I literally felt like throwing up when I saw it. 

To make things worse, when I complained to the lady at the counter, she simply ignored me. Although I believe that they had nothing to do with the insect in my drink, the least she could have done was to apologize and offer to replace it. 

Anyway, my objective for sending this photo is to warn you guys to be more careful when you are eating or drinking something. Sometime when we are having a good time with our friends we tend to talk too much and not pay attention to what we put in our mouth. 

Yours trully,

Miss HL

Letter From a Reader: My Wedding Photographer is Nowhere to be Found

Image courtesy of www.people.ucsc.edu

Dear Fashion PULIS,

Congratulations for reaching close to 6 million pageviews. I am an avid fan of your blog and I visit it almost everyday. I hope you can let me share a very sad experience that has been bothering me for the past two years.

In 2009, when I got married, I got the services of this photographer whose first name and last name both begin with the letter L (I understand you don't allow names). Prior to booking him, he suggested that I should pay him in full so that I will be able to avail of the discount and freebies (e.g. photo albums, signature frames, etc.). When I decided to get him, I took his advice and wrote him a check for the full amount.

When my wedding day came, he was there to take the photos and everything turned out well. I did not have any problem with him during the wedding day itself. My predicament started when I returned to Manila from my honeymoon two months later.

My husband and I went to the USA for almost two months. Upon returning home, I got in touch with our wedding photographer because I was very excited to see the wedding photos. I got in touch with LL and he told me that he needed another month to edit the photos. A month and a half later, around December 2009, I called him and he told me to give him more time because it was a very busy month for him.

I waited for Christmas and New Year to pass. On the second week of January 2010, I tried calling his mobile phone but the subscriber cannot be reached. I tried contacting his office and no one was answering my calls. After trying to call him for a week, I decided to pass by his office. I was devastated when I learned that he already gave up his space.

It has been almost two years now and up to this day, I have not located him. I tried approaching this certain organization of professional photographers and some of the members told me that they have not seen LL for the longest time.

At this point, all I want are the raw photos he took during my wedding because I can never repeat that day. I don't need the albums and the other items  included in the package that I paid for. I just want him to give me the CDs containing all my wedding photos.

Thank you very much Fashion PULIS for posting my letter. I hope this will serve as a warning to all your readers who are planning their wedding. Please don't be too trusting.

More power to you Mr. Fashion PULIS!

Yours truly,
Bride w/o photos

Is it true that these two stars were forbidden from being seen together in public? If it were true, what do you think is the reason behind? Your guess is as good as mine.
