READER QUERIES: SAUDIA MUSHKBAR

Hi,

I read at your blog and noticed that you have used kryolan products. May be you can help solve my query. I use TV paintstick and HD microfoundation. I have noticed if I use moisturiser to blend my foundation it causes flecks of my foundation. I have used neutrogena, clinique and Mac. Neutrogena worked better than other moisturisers.

Could you recommend any oil free moisturiser or primer which works with TV paintstick and HD microfoundation?

Your answer is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

SAUDIA MUSHKBAR.

Hi Saudia!

First of all, I would like to thank you for reading my blog. :)

The problem might be the drying time. You must allow the moisturizer to be absorbed by the skin prior to applying the foundation. I've encountered the same problem with foundations that I've used as well. If you are always on the go, I suggest you apply the moisturizer sparingly so the drying time will speed up a bit.

Kryolan foundations are quite creamy, and they take time to dry, especially the tv paint stick. So I suggest you apply the paint stick sparingly as well.

For oil- free moisturizers, I can recommend Kiehl's Blue Algae herbal moisturizer or Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer cream. I am using them and based on experience, their consistencies are lightweight, and they get absorbed by the skin quickly.

Hope this helps. :)

ON IGNORANCE, INCOMPETENCE, AND INJUSTICE: THERE WAS HOPE FOR MENDOZA AND HIS CAPTIVES

Photo taken from msnbc.com

Yesterday, the whole world is mourning for those who died in the tragic end of the Quirino Grandstand Hostage Crisis.

It was a happy day for the final leg of the Chinese nationals', which is a trip to Ocean Park, before leaving in the afternoon for Hong Kong. And they have never thought that they would be the subject of a disgruntled man named Inspector Rolando Mendoza.

I have been hearing and reading messages in different social networking sites expressing how disgusted they are with the PNP, and how they despise Insp. Mendoza's evil and selfish deed.

On the take against Insp. Mendoza, I beg to disagree.

According to Jean Jacques- Rosseau, man is naturally good, but civilization and society warps him. Is crime a natural choice for man? Or is it because man is left with nothing but to commit crime to survive?

If the civil government or a single ruling power is supposed to maintain peace and order, why are there criminals? Why are there deaths, disgruntled military and police officers, and endless poverty due to graft and corruption? Didn't it ever occur to those who are blaming Mendoza for putting justice in his own hands, that there is no such thing as justice to the small men in this country?

I am biased in this situation because I know that Insp. Mendoza is a good man. He was awarded in 2008 as one of the most outstanding policemen in the country, and was a runner- up again in the recently concluded most outstanding policemen awarding ceremony in 2009. How did I know? My mother was one of the judges in the 2009 ceremony, and the credentials of the candidates were reviewed. I managed to check Insp. Mendoza's, and as far as I can remember, his records are clean. And according to an interview, he's passionate about his work, and is so proud to have been awarded as one of the most outstanding policemen. Though he didn't reach the top posts in his lifetime of service, he still remained happy and contented, and have offered his life in serving the country, and has become a role model for the younger policemen.

I am deeply hurt because I know that the man is naturally good. And for him to become evil, something must've really oppressed him. I have to admit that I cried last night after knowing how his life and the lives of the innocent tourists have tragically ended. I wasn't directly affected, but apart from the deaths, I am lamenting more at the death of justice in our country.

I am totally against his deed. But can you blame the man? He has lost his sanity somewhere along the way. And it's not as if he didn't try going through the due processes. It came from him that he appealed his case, and the Ombudsman did nothing to solve it. He was easily kicked out from his position that he has worked so hard to reach.

Justice delayed, is justice denied. All that the man is asking is a piece of paper from the ombudsman, for them to clear his name, and he will surrender. Why can't they give that to him? It just goes to show that there was a big hullabaloo in his termination. That's why the man has put the matter in his own hands.

And the incompetence and ignorance of the PNP are to blame for the tragic end of the hostage crisis. For Christ's sake PNoy, why are you applauding the PNP for their courageous act? Almost everyone died in the bus when in fact, they could've been saved! And they say that the media has blown the story out of proportion, given the fact that they serve as the monitor for Mendoza and the outside world? C'mon, I'm pretty sure, if there was no media coverage, the PNP would have rained bullets and bazookas on the bus without even thinking of the innocent lives inside! All that they care about is to shut Mendoza's trap once and for all before he names all the demons in the PNP.

The PNP should know about a thing or two about Psychology. A hostage- taker is not in his/her proper state of mind. It's a do or die situation for them, and further threatening them will not make them surrender. Did they think that arresting Mendoza's brother is the only way to solve the problem? Let us consider that killing everyone may not be part of the plan, because according to the survivors, Insp. Mendoza was calm at first and is asking for justice. He wasn't threatening anyone until some brilliant police suggested that they arrest Mendoza's brother and use it against him. In a sense, the PNP is to blame for the hostage crisis' tragic end. The best thing that they could have done is to dissuade Mendoza and arrest him. That way, there would be no bloodshed.

It just goes to show that these incompetent and stupid policemen are trying to replace their failure by arresting an "accessory to the crime". C'mon. You gotta be kidding me. It's so funny that they started pulling crimes and charges out of thin air so that they could repress Mendoza's brother. Talk about INJUSTICE.

And to end this note, I do believe that the man is innocent of the crimes charged against him. We have seen his house in Tanauan. It is not too good for a policeman who's earning 19k a month. They have two cars because their parents have money to somehow afford a good life for their children.

And if Rolando Mendoza is indeed, a fugitive, why would he roam freely? Why isn't he behind bars? Why didn't we hear this in the news? Why would someone make a scene if he/she is guilty? Case in point: Panfilo Lacson. All evidences are pointing to him as the brain behind the notorious Kuratong Baleleng Gang. If he was indeed innocent, he would do the same thing. Another case in point: Jun Lozada. If the man was indeed part of the ZTE scam, would he risk his life and his family for his crusade against corruption if what he's saying is not true?

Let us remember the case of Jun Ducat. He was a good man, until society pushed him to do harm, for him to do good.

There are a few good men in the service. And it is so sad that justice itself is turning them evil not because they want to, but they have to.

I PRAY FOR THE REPOSE OF THE SOUL OF THE CHINESE NATIONALS, INSP. MENDOZA, AND MOST ESPECIALLY, THE JUSTICE IN THIS COUNTRY.

YOU GOTTA HATE SALE EVENTS SOMETIMES

So I set my day yesterday for L'oreal's Grand Sale at the Robinson's Equitable Tower, Ortigas.

I arrived there at around 1:30 P.M.. And to my surprise, the 23rd fl. is jam- packed with people! From men to women, all are awaiting in the 23rd fl. for the formal opening of the venue to the public, when in fact the venue should be opened at exactly 1 PM!

I've been to different Grand Sales: Lux Asia, MAC exclusive Sale, Shu Uemura exclusive sale; but so far, this has got to be the worst sale I've been to. EVER.

Okay let me present my points.

Number 1- It is freakishly hot in the 23rd fl. It was so congested and if you have asthma, you will definitely die in there 'cos of the heat. And if you have pneumonia, then congratulations, you have started an epidemic. There aren't any electric fans just to at least appease the customers from all the heat! I was already wearing a tank top, a pair of couture shorts, and flip flops. But I can still feel my sweat trickling down from my forehead. What more for those women in office wear and heels!

Number 2- The first come first- served system: Oh you gotta hate this. For Christ's sake. It's an open sale! It's not invitational even! So why won't they let people in??? The receptionist told me that they can only accommodate 50 people inside the venue. I came in as Visitor #124. So if you're #51, sorry, but you gotta come back the next day. It is so irritating, disappointing, and frustrating. I set my day up for this sale (I'm sure Visitor #51 until #123 did too) and this is what I'm (we're) gonna get? I've always expected these sales to open in the "Filipino Time" standard (and I am right indeed) so I came in at 1:30 PM. Is this a Wowowee kind of thing? They'd expect me to be there at 4 AM to fall in line? HECK NO. I've seen girls who came out of the building with droopy faces and talking in high- pitched voices which is a sign of a major ranting. They probably came from far places or might have given up some plans for this sale.

Number 3- You know what's more worse than the first- come- first- served basis system? They only allow 3 people per batch inside the venue. I'm pretty sure they can't give them a time limit. I'm sure these people won't take that!

And if you're just out for a lunch break, good luck. While you're falling in line, think of alibis to tell your boss regarding why your lunch break was for 3 hours!

And here's the problem with this kind of system: if you're number 50, good luck on whatever left- overs that you can find worthy of your hard- earned cash. You just wasted a good 1- 2 hours of your time falling in line for second- best stuff!

And you know what's worse than shopping for left- over stuff? BUYER'S REMORSE! You'll probably realize that you didn't really need what you bought. You just had to buy something so your wasted time won't be too bad (I'm sorry to tell you this, but it's really wasted).

AND THE WORST PART OF IT ALL:

Okay, if you signed in as #51, it automatically means you'll be part of the priority the next day.

I asked the receptionist if ever I come today, I'll be part of the priority batch 'cos we were asked to sign the log book for our names and numbers and were informed to return the next day

"Ay sorry po, 'di po ganun ma'm".

SO WHAT'S THE POINT OF SIGNING IN THE FRIKKIN' LOG BOOK?!?!?!

L'oreal's sale events should improve. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Great products, yet poor management.

And so as not to totally disappoint my day, I just went to Robinson's Galleria to stroll and searched the boutiques for something to buy so my Ortigas trip won't be a total waste of time.

And at least, this made my day. I've been on the search for a black tube top in this style. And I found this in the brand Loe and Co. from Robinson's Dept. Store. And it's on a 10% sale! How coool is that? Finding the perfect top on sale??? :)

And I got myself this cute Robinson's Dept. Store exclusive Mickey Mouse canvass bags. I always like the vintage Mickey better than the new one. I'd use this to store some notebooks, books, pencil case and some stuff 'cos I'm feeling that the handles of my Longchamp large tote is not in a very good condition...Jeez...


HAVE A GREAT DAY AHEAD!

ABSURD. PSYCHO. AUDACIOUS. CHEAP. FREAKY. AND ABOVE ALL, DESPERATE

The end is only just the beginning.

Well not for me, but for these HATERS. :)

Geez, they must be really angered by me. And I don't know why. I'm such a jolly and happy person. :)

Insecurity indeed is the absence of knowledge and wisdom.

Sooner or later, I know that these detractors will try to find a way to destroy me. And they will stop at nothing until they see me depressed and broken.

But STICKS AND STONES CAN BREAK MY BONES, BUT WORDS WILL NEVER HURT ME. :)

So here's the story.

I've received messages from five different guys who claimed to have met me in an MIRC chat room:

SUNIL

djroy26

business_dad

William Quiochon

cooldude2679

So what do they have to do with me?

ACCORDING TO THEM, I SET THEM ALL TO A DATE WITH ME TONIGHT AND GET LAID AFTER THE DATE.

I was shocked. But after a few seconds, I was already amazed at this audacious happening.

I instantly thought of the whole issue in Girltalk and the bunch of haters in my blog.

It was actually unfair to assume that my detractor/s were behind this.

But lo and behold, I WAS RIGHT.

Buti na lang pinanganak akong matalino. :)

It took me a while to actually convince these guys that I wasn't the one who messaged them. But through my investigation, here are the clues that lead to my conclusion that indeed, this is the work of my detractor/s

1. THE GUYS TOLD ME THAT I CHATTED WITH THEM THROUGH MIRC

oopsie, I don't have an MIRC account, nor do I have an MIRC application in my laptop. SO, how could that be me? :)

2. THE GUYS TOLD ME THAT MY USERNAME IS RICH_CHICK

oopsie, I only have one account for chat through yahoo! messenger. And I would like to reiteratethat I DO NOT HAVE AN MIRC APPLICATION AND ACCOUNT. Jesus, CAN YOU BE MORE CREATIVE WITH USERNAMES??? But that's flattering, you called me rich, when I just consider myself part of the middle class strata. Thanks anyway. :)

3. THE GUYS TOLD ME THAT I'M REALLY KIKAY. HOW COME THEY SAID SO? BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT I HAVE A BEAUTY BLOG

oopsie, So I conclude that my detractor/s were behind this. How would they know that I have a beauty blog? I'm pretty sure they wouldn't know. Unless someone from the inside spills the beans. Aww, but the sweet boys told me that I was beautiful. I thank the detractor/s anyway for making other people appreciate my beauty. :)

4. ONE OF THE GUYS TOLD ME THAT I WAS INTO THEATRE AND I'M 22 YEARS OLD, AND I LIVE IN MAKATI

Well, the psycho did a very good research. You know how vocal I am in my blog when it comes to what I do. And yes, location is correct. But I'm only 21, STUPID.

5. ONE OF THE GUYS TOLD ME THAT I MIGHT BE REALLY RICH BECAUSE I KEEP ON BRAGGING THROUGH CHAT THAT I HAVE LVS, PRADAS, GUCCIS, LONGCHAMPS, GOYARDS, BALENCIAGAS

oopsie, DID I EVER SAY THAT I HAVE A BALENCIAGA, GOYARD OR A GUCCI ITEM? Be my guest and browse through my 500+ posts and check if I have claimed such. :)

6. ONE OF THE GUYS TOLD ME THAT FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE ME, I'LL BE WEARING A SKIMPY SKIRT, SPAGHETTI STRAPPED TOP, AND AN LV BAG. HE EVEN TOLD ME THAT I TOLD THEM TO BE QUIET BECAUSE ALL MY HANDBAGS ARE FAKE! :)

oopsie, I don't dress in this style. Maybe the detractor/s dresses in this type of combination, and the detractor/s HAS a fake designer bag. Geezz... can you be more, slutty? And you can check out all my handbags. If you can't prove them as knock- offs, I'll have you killed. :)

And you know how these detractor/s lambasted my name?

1. ONE OF THE GUYS TOLD ME": "YOU EVEN TOLD ME HOW YOU LOVE TO BE SPANKED USING A D***

2. ONE OF THE GUYS EVEN SAID THAT I SAID IN CHAT THAT I NEED TO A GOOD B*NG TONIGHT

3. ONE OF THE GUYS EVEN TOLD ME I'M A VERY NAUGHTY GIRL

Oh my God. T H E A U D A C I T Y! But- my detractor/s really know it well, Whore- style.

Now I pretty much have an idea of what the starter does, dresses, acts, or even look like!

Just in case you didn't know, WHAT YOU DID IS A TRUE REFLECTION OF YOUR CHARACTER. :)

Everything was settled before the night ended, I have explained to the boys that apparently, I have some haters online who spread my number because they think that they can shake me and bring me down.

GUESS WHAT?

I remain unmoved, I remain unshaken. :)

So I leave this issue for you guys to decide:

NOW WHO'S EVIL?

You guys be the judge

HERE'S WHAT I HAVE TO SAY:

ABSURD. PSYCHO. AUDACIOUS. CHEAP. FREAKY. AND ABOVE ALL, DESPERATE!

Have a great weekend girls. :)

LET US DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE ONCE AND FOR ALL. :)

Bigotry and judgment are the height of insecurity.
Jasmine Guy


So here's a new entry for these people.

And my final take on their concerns once and for all.

I try my best to make every reader's presence known and acknowledged.

So this entry is specially for you guys.

BEFORE WE MOVE ON, PLEASE BE REMINDED: THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM MY FIRST ISSUE WITH THE DETRACTOR. SO FOR THE BASHERS, TRY HARD TO STICK TO THE TOPIC AND THE CONTEXT. IF YOU CAN'T, THEN TRY HARDER. :)

It is quite amusing that all of a sudden, negative and positive comments have poured like rain on my entry about these Girltalkers.

And what makes me wonder is, those who posted negative comments are all hiding behind the ANONYMOUS I.D.

I have can only think of three reasons why they would use the ID:

1. They're cowards
2. They're close to my detractor/s
3. They are full of insecurity

Let's start.

I did not filter the comments in my controversial entry.

But if there's one entry that made me laugh out loud the most, is the Anonymous ID who bashed me for my NARS POWDER BLUSH IN OUTLAW

PLEASE READ HER REPLY FIRST HERE

Okay, so Ms. Anonymous, here's what I have to say.

Where did you get the whole idea that I was selling expired make- up? I did admit that I was careless when I sent an expired freebie to the buyer because I didn't know, and I don't use freebies. I recycle them with other purchases. The buyer didn't follow up after I sent the package. So how would I resolve the problem? I did my other end, but I wasn't confronted. So what would you have me do? Pray tell me.

Secondly, Yes, I got the Nars Blush for 100 bucks. And I sold it for 400 bucks. Ive explained in my cbox that I was approximating the real value of the product, the time I spent to get it, the gas I've spent to meet the seller etc. But as far as I'm concerned, by far, I have sold it rightly for it's condition and for what it's worth. Because if I'm evil, just like what you're stating, then I would sell it at 800php, or even higher, right?

Okay so given the fact that selling expired make- up is wrong (which is what you're implying in your reply), then might as well blame the seller whom I got it from!

So why did people hoard her products even if the seller admitted that the make- ups have been with her for around 3 years already? It's because her items are dirt cheap. C'mon a 100-peso nars, shu, or cargo blush will not come your way everyday. :)

Let me ask you this: Given the condition of her products, what if she priced all her blushes from 400 and up? Would you react like this?

Of course you will! But if she didn't, you will not.

So judging your reply, it is merely a rant. Darling, I'm sorry if you can't afford the 400php. But I can't sell the item at a giveaway price either. I need money too.

So honey, what made you think that selling expired make- up is justifiable as long as the price is way cheap?

Oh please. Induce me.

AND REGARDING YOUR ISSUE WITH MY BOYFRIEND:

Honey, this is my blog, so if you are offended with every little thing that I'm going to say, then don't visit me. Delete me from your browser or your memory, I don't care. As long as it will serve you right. :)

I tried thinking of any reason but I really don't see the point why you would be offended when I claimed that my boyfriend's rich?

Is it wrong to acknowledge that someone's rich or beautiful, if they really are such?

Here's the difference between acknowledging and bragging:

You acknowledge something just because it is the truth. But bragging, is exaggerating and reiterating the truth.

I just said my boyfriend's rich. And that's the truth. But I didn't post it in the cboxes or blogs of my followers or whoever.

SO, WHAT' YOUR PROBLEM? :)

And to quote blogger Topaz Horizon's words (tweaked them a bit):

UGLY PEOPLE (WOMEN) PUT YOU DOWN, WHILE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE (WOMEN) LIFT YOU UP.

AND TO QUOTE FROM HER AGAIN (NOT IN VERBATIM):

IF YOU BASH MY STATEMENT, THEN I PROBABLY KNOW WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE.

I think what's more wrong is to claim that you are rich, when in fact you are not.

But if you were really offended, please let me know. :)

Anyway, just in case you're looking for the point of my reply, it's just simple: Your reply is lousy.

And before I leave you behind, here's some brain food for you:

Anger is a manifestation of a deeper issue... and that, for me, is based on insecurity, self-esteem and loneliness.
Naomi Campbell

And Katherine, as far as I'm concerned, you weren't involved in the issue. I appreciate an open mind, but please do not act as if you are one of my detractors.

And to someone who replied why I didn't admit that the detractor already apologized:

Please back read. I have mentioned that she did. For Christ's sake, read closely!

But what would you have me do? Create another entry for that? O c'mon. Please don't tell me what to do.

So what's your problem if I already see the person/s in a different light?

And ask the detractor. I already accepted her apology. But it doesn't mean that things should be back to the way it was. If it's my choice to not talk nor even be civil with this person anymore, then it shouldn't be your frikkin' issue because it is my decision. :)

I have a lot of friends. So losing them is not really a matter of life and death.

Psh. You say forgive and forget?

Just in case you didn't know, SOME THINGS ARE EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

Like you. You say that you are trying to be as professional as possible. But I can very much see whose side you're leaning on.

And before I leave you behind again, here's what I have to say to you:

PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH.


AND TO THE REST OF THE "ANONYMOUS" PEEPS

Dang. You see how hard it is if you don't provide your real name? I can't address you formally!

So I'll just call you "THE PACK" :)

Here's what I have to say, THE PACK.

I will not deal with you guys any longer. Because:

1. You guys are hiding behind the ANONYMOUS I.D. and are trying to revert the whole issue against me.

This is a sign of COWARDICE.

You can't even introduce who you guys are! I'm pretty sure some of you have blogs. Because with the way you guys write, I pretty have an idea of who you guys are. :)

So why not show me who you guys are and face me? :)

I do not deal with immaturity. You can't even stand by your arguments, hence the Anonymous IDs.

LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST:

As far as I'm concerned, here's the point of my issue:

THE PRIVATE MESSAGING INCIDENT IS BELOW THE BELT. IT IS UNJUSTIFIABLE TO ACCUSE SOMEONE AS A SHAM SELLER JUST BECAUSE THEIR INSTINCTS TELLS THEM SO. UNLESS THERE IS PROOF, ASSUMPTIONS WILL ONLY REMAIN ASSUMPTIONS.

Please do not go beyond and out of the context. This is my issue. Unless you prove my issue wrong, then that's the time I'll answer you guys back again.

Your counter arguments shouldn't concern the opening of the thread, explanations in the thread, my transactions, and most especially, my frikkin' life.

And please, think of another thing to attack apart from my professionalism. Gasgas na yan. :)

Because that totally leads to another topic, which is evident in your posts.

It should be in the context of my point in the issue.

And before I leave all of you, here's a quote to enlighten you all:

Some people live closely guarded lives, fearful of encountering someone or something that might shatter their insecure spiritual foundation. This attitude, however, is not the fault of religion but of their own limited understanding. True Dharma leads in exactly the opposite direction. It enables one to integrate all the many diverse experiences of life into a meaningful and coherent whole, thereby banishing fear and insecurity completely.
- Lama Yeshe


THANK YOU SO MUCH! AND TO MY BEAUTIFUL FOLLOWERS, KEEP ON READING! :)

MONEY CAN'T BUY YOU CLASS. BUT AT LEAST YOU CAN AFFORD YOURSELF A SEMINAR ON GOOD CONDUCT :)

Thanks to ms. anonymous beauty blogger for that.

I remembered how curious I was when I first saw an avatar in aika's blog regarding the meanies in Girltalk. I asked around and found out what the story is all about.

Since then, I did feel a bit uneasy trusting people so much in the forum, but I told myself, "The forum has been alive for many years and the seniors have been around for so long.

It is quite unfair to assume, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt."

 I did believe that there are meanies lurking in the forum, who'll try to destroy relationships and reputations. But to my knowledge, I do believe

that these will only be the works of a bunch of noobs who don't have a life and who lack so much attention so they'll try putting themselves in the limelight.

 But I wish I knew better.

 To my surprise, shock, and dismay. The meanie is actually a SENIOR GIRLTALKER.

 This is such a pathetic issue. So this is my first and last say about this.

 TO THE MEAN SENIOR GTALKER:

 A little bird told me that I should be aware of you since she inferred that we might be close friends, based on how we discuss and share stuff in Girltalk. I asked the birdie why, and birdie said that you have been privately spreading

messages about me to other girltalkers, trying to destroy my reputation as a seller.

 A little background on how MS.MEAN SENIOR GTALKER started acting like a brat by spreading nasty PMs to people so she could gather Girltalker force against me.

 **It all started with a thread, which turned into a debate thread, which eventually ended up being a bashing thread because they started acting like kids, trying to win over an argument which is so petty.

 By virtue of forum rules, the thread should be closed because it ended up becoming a bashing thread which began with #%$#%#%#% :)

 If you are familiar with the nature of debating, each person has their own stand and paradigm so it is up to you on how your paradigm will go against another's.

 As far as I'm concerned, the discussion in the thread was healthy until someone, who's apparently from the opposition, started blaming someone for advertising in the thread.

 You guys have been playing foul in the debate. And technically, the accusation has no proof, so you could be charged for diverting the peaceful nature of a debate to a disastrous one. And by virtue of forum rules, it is a violation

against a fellow Girltalker. :)

 It is now clear to me. That all of the negative comments of a MS. MEAN MOM GIRLTALKER and all those involved can be presumptuous accusations brought about by this ganging- up. And based on MS. MEAN MOM GIRLTALKER's testimonies and examples, everything seemed as if they're all pulled out from thin air. By golly, she can't even present her facts properly. And how would I believe her statements and examples, when she said so herself that it's her first time to try the products that I'm selling when she personally messaged me for her orders? My, my, my. Another pet peeve of mine, a shallow- headed debater. :)

 Also, the threadstarter vowed to lock the thread after each side has presented their final take on the issue. Then all of a sudden, the thread has been opened again because, MS. MEAN SENIOR GIRLTALKER SAID (NOW THIS IS WHAT THE MEANIE SAID ACCORDING TO THE LITTLE BIRD):

 Not in verbatim: "GUYS, REPLY LANG TAYO NG REPLY SA THREAD HA, BAKA KASI MAY BUMILI KAY MARTHA, LET'S SPREAD THE WORD PARA LAHAT AWARE."

 So maybe that's the reason why the topic was opened again. It is just so sad that another Senior Girltalker, whom I respect may be involved in this immaturity.

 Now here lies the problem. A COMPLETE ACCUSATION THAT I AM NOT A REPUTABLE SELLER, AND I'M UP TO FOOLING PEOPLE IN THE FORUM.

 MS. MEAN SENIOR GIRLTALKER, I have stated in my store tagline that I am selling BRAND X and BRAND B. So if you are doubting brand x, then you have the option to buy brand b. So how come you say I'll be fooling people sooner or later when every single detail is posted in my store, and brand x and brand b are reasonably priced for what they're worth, not to mention, they're even a lot cheaper compared to their actual mall prices.

 Secondly, you haven't experienced the products. So, how come you already have a final verdict?

 Thirdly,you can't get what you want so you started delivering these nasty messages about me. Psh. W H A T  A  B R A T. Darling, if you have sensitive emotions, please, don't engage in debates anymore. :)

Lastly, I've been in the online selling thing for 6 or 7 years. Just go to my online site and read my testimonials and see for yourself.

 Piece of advice MS. MEAN SENIOR GIRLTALKER:

 Sooner or later, whatever things we've done will come out.

 

And guess what?

 

Now's your time.

 

I am just so sad at the fact that I've believed in you as a person, knowing how naturally good you might be. And upon knowing this issue, I suddenly began to see you in a lower level.

 I might have had the same issues as you do in the heat of the issue, but I kept my cool and dealt with my emotions professionally. It is just so disappointing that someone like you can't, considering the fact that you do know well the border between professionalism and unprofessionalism (I hope).

 Ooh. You are one nasty girl. Now I wonder why someone started spamming negative stuff about you. I used to believe in you so much, but I thank the little birdie right now for telling me the secret that confirmed your rude attitude.

And FYI, I'd rather deal with someone who can tell me the problem right to my face. So the end of this entry is the end of this for me.

 This concludes my take on the issue.

And this is my blog so I can say whatever I want and feel. Okay? :)

*I'm no Bitch. But I can be one.

MORALE OF THE ISSUE: TRUST NOBODY. YOU'LL THANK YOURSELF ONE DAY.

 ANONYMOUS BASHERS: YOU GUYS ARE NOT WELCOME. YOUR COMMENTS WILL BE EVENTUALLY DELETED. I WILL ONLY ENTERTAIN PROFESSIONAL COMMENTS

 AND TO THE ONES INVOLVED WHO'LL REPLY IN THE ANONYMOUS ID, OH PUHLEZZE. IF YOU GUYS HAVE THE NERVE TO CREATE THIS MESS, HAVE THE COURAGE TO SOLVE IT.

 HAVE A NICE DAY BEAUTY BLOGGERS AND MY LOVELY FOLLOWERS! MORE MAKE- UP REVIEWS COMING YOUR WAY! :)

AND I'M UBER PISSED (A RANT)

SORRY FOR THE LONG RANT. I'D REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU TAKE SOME TIME TO READ IT.

So I had this Make- Up Stash sale ongoing since mid- August. I have to agree that it's kinda' hard to sell your stuff away because it might take a while before people notice your advertisements and get to visit your site. And not everyone is willing to buy, always. But I am so happy and thankful to the people who bought my stuff.

I'd just like to rant here. This also goes to everyone to not be KIND but to be PRUDENT in terms of selling.

There's this girl who happens to be an avid reader of my blog. I wouldn't drop names 'cos I managed to make her pay, though it took a lot of follow- ups and explanations before she agreed to pay. Anyway, here's how the story went.

She would always ask me different kinds of questions regarding beauty and skin care. I wasn't even planning to sell my Eyeko Fat Balm in Strawberry because I really like the product. But since she was persistent in persuading me to sell it to her cos she said that she really wanted to try eyeko but she doesn't have any money to purchase through pre- ordering, I sold mine at a cheap cost cos I want her to enjoy the make- up products that I'm blessed to have purchased and used. All went well and she paid.

Then she still kept on messaging me via text. I have to admit that it's kinda' costly to answer her messages since I'm not an Unlitxt user. My line's post- paid so I can't enjoy these benefits. And I really don't know how to use these stuff. I wouldn't want to appear arrogant or snobby so I try to attend to her questions the best that I could.

She had an interest in my Stila Lip Staining Pen. Since I know that she's a student living on an allowance, I gave her an agreement that she will pay on a designated deadline but I'll reserve the item to her until the time she can pay. But on the condition that she is 200% sure in getting the item. Without a doubt, she replied YES, and she'll just wait for her mom's 'padala' then she'll pay. Since our transaction went well, I gave her this special privilege cos I also would want her to enjoy expensive make- ups like this at a cheap cost. All was set, and she promised to pay after a week. The agreement was made around the 3rd week of September.

The Stila was reserved to her. And I rejected two buyers because I am living up to the agreement we made, thinking that I made a deal with an honest person.

2 weeks have passed, and I didn't receive any confirmations from her. I told her to update me regarding the status of her savings and she didn't even have the decency to update me. I messaged her and she didn't reply. Now I'm kinda' sensing that this will turn out bad. After a week, she replied that she can't purchase the Stila anymore because her mom hasn't sent them the money yet. I was so pissed because I did my part well in the agreement. I told her that there's no backing out in this agreement and she promised to pay on Oct.31. Then she even told me that if someone gets it, then I should give it already. This stupid girl doesn't even have the decency to tell me that I'm sorry, I'll get it, sorry for the hassle. And now she's leaving all the burden to me.

I don't want to be rude but people like her really turn you into one. I mean, if you don't effin' have money, then why would you shop? Yes, you can call me a bitch but shopping is for the privileged because shopping requires money. If you don't have, then don't FUCKING buy stuff that you can't afford. There are tons of cheap lip and cheek stains out there in the market so why dream of Stila if you can't FUCKING afford it?!! My Stila isn't even priced at 595php. I gave it to her for 350php plus a discount! She could've asked me if there are good lip and cheek stain brands out there that are budget- friendly yet effective and I'll gladly tell her what the brands are. That way, my Stila could've found a better home.

Then a certain person named KATHLEEN CHUA had an interest on the item and she said that she'll get it. We personally talked and I labeled the Stila item as SOLD. This girl messaged me again and told me that her friend is willing to buy the Stila Lip Staining Pen and I told her that it is already sold.

Then it turned out that this fucking KATHLEEN CHUA is a joy reserver. She promised to pay but she ended up not paying and both her phones are turned off for the longest time now. Last message I got from her was she had an emergency and she'll promise to pay the next day. Lo and behold, 2 weeks have passed, and KATHLEEN CHUA hasn't paid. I wish she rots in hell cos she's a big fat liar.

Anyway, I messaged this girl again and asked her to ask her friend if her friend is willing to get the Stila Pen. She asked her friend and the friend has already bought a brand new Stila Pen. Then I messaged her back "SO SIS KUKUNIN MO NA AH?" And she never replied.

I sent her a message last night reminding her of our condition:

- YOUR RESERVATION WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME INEFFECTIVE IF SOMEONE EXPRESSED AN INTENTION TO PURCHASE THE PRODUCT. BUT IF NO ONE GETS THE PRODUCT ON OR BEFORE OCT.31, THEN YOU HAVE TO GET IT.

She replied that I was unfair cos I said that the Stila was sold. If she was even thinking, why would I message her again if it was sold? I even explained to her why it wasn't sold cos the buyer turned out to be a joy reserver.

Let's not talk about who's unfair here, MISS. I think it is also quite unfair that I did my part of the agreement well and I had to run after you asking for your confirmation when in fact I was so kind to give in to your requests. If this was a legal contract, then your ass is in fucking jail cos you didn't make it to the deadline. So please, MISS, before the word UNFAIR comes out of your mouth ever again, think of your actions and let's see who's the MORE unfair person here, STUPID.

I guess I've pretty much given you a huge leeway to save up for the Stila. Because if I don't receive your payment on Oct.31, I'm sorry, but I have to provide all the necessary sanctions for your actions. You made me rude darling, I'm not an innately rude person.

So I hope this goes to all of you who are into selling. Never trust anybody even if you've had great transactions with them because eventually, THEY WILL ABUSE YOUR KINDNESS. It happened to me. I'm sure it will happen to you.

WHO'S UNFAIR NOW? YOU GUYS BE THE JUDGE.

PLEASE, BEWARE OF THIS LIAR:
