Dear Mr. Person who delivers the BPI cards and/or Ms. BPI Hotline 89-100,

Hello, I hope you had a wonderful Friday. If you ask me, I certainly did not have a good one.

Why so? Because for the longest time I have been waiting for the delivery of my credit card. Yup, it’s been more than 2 weeks and my card hasn’t arrived yet. You see, I’ve been trying to schedule a delivery on December 9. At first, you said “NO. WE CAN’T.” But after another request, you said “OK. WE CAN.” So I expected that you will deliver on December 9, 2011 between 10am to 6pm.

THAT IS TODAY.

But let’s rewind 2 days back. Wednesday, you dropped by the office and I wasn’t there. Thursday, it was a city holiday but you still dropped by. Our Accountant even told you to drop by on FRIDAY because for sure, I will be there. Friday, which is today, you did NOT arrive. I made a request (I even have a report number here) for my card to be delivered on this very specific day. You managed to drop by on a holiday, but not on a working day? WHAT KIND OF SORCERY IS THAT????

I made another request to have my card delivered on Monday, December 12. If my card doesn’t show up, BANK BRANCHES WILL EFFING BURN AND BANK MANAGERS’ HEADS WILL EFFING ROLL. I know I live in the Philippines, and usually deliveries are late, but ask the bloggers that I work with and they will say that I deliver the stuff they need, even at 11:00 PM. So you can’t give me an excuse that there was some sort of rain or a group of goats in the middle of the road that’s why you weren’t able to deliver my card. Come Monday, I swear to my glass of holy milk I will hit your face with an iPad. No, iPad 2.

Hope you have a great weekend, because that is the last weekend that you will EVER EVER experience.

Sincerely,

A pissed-off (x99999999) consumer

As a little girl, I loved making small crafts using scrap lying around the house. Back then, I would usually go to my Mom’s room and get whatever I can find (a.k.a. almost everything in her room), decorate my things with it, and parade it around my classroom the next day. Sigh, I miss those days when I have so much time making pretty little things!!

Hopefully this second week of December, I have free time to reminisce the good old scrappy days and attend the Brown Bag Vintage & Crafts Market!

On December 9, Brown Bag Events Management is holding a Vintage & Crafts Market at Filipinas Heritage Library, Ayala Triangle. There’s storytelling, papercut art, shoe design workshop, accessory making, and so much more!!

What’s awesome is that ENTRANCE IS FREE!! Anyone can come and enjoy!

Hope to bump into you guys there!
