PAL RAINE

This Mother's Day is definitely all about our mom. Talking about how much we love them, how we care for them and how thankful we are to have them as our mother.

That look of the finest woman we have for almost thousands of times since birth.

This Mother's Day is definitely all about my Mama.

I will give honor to my very own mother on this very special day, because she really done such a good job.

My Amazing. My Beautiful.
My Best Friend. My Mama.

I am indeed blessed, proud and appreciate my mother strength and giving up her career as a teacher just to stay at home for the sake of giving me the full attention to care and guide me all the way --- 24/7.

I will not argue, but I can't help smiling everytime I will remember the stupidity I've made during my college years, you can see that to her face that she is totally pissed off. And me totally STUBBORN. SASSY-Type B. She stood before me and look at me with no longer phases. I know she's mad---I am quiet, and a sense of obeying her words without asking anymore questions.

I do exactly remember what causes her look and being pissed with matching crossed arms with a chin up head, this is when she knew that I am in my first 12 weeks or in my 3 months pregnancy. Yes, I got pregnant at age 23, that time I am taking up my second course in college.

For her, I am her life, her world. I am the only child and all of these years she was with me all throughout. Then suddenly, I was lost at her sight and found out that her little girl got pregnant. Her world suddenly STOP.

I give birth - Mama was there.

I have my two kids now and got separated to my husband -- Mama was there.

Recalling the good things she has done to me is priceless. Though there are times we have our little arguments, still Mama has been always there for me.

My Mother is BEAUTIFUL . And WONDERFUL.
And KIND and TOTALLY MY MARVELOUS BEST FRIEND!

Being strong - SHE IS ME.

The strength I have right now as a single mother I get it from my Mama. My mother is my LIFE right now and as a result, I now understand how much my Mama did for me.

My Mama has provided me a path of strength, endurance and had to make tough decision of her life and that is to resign from her job and be with me. Now, I did the same just like her, but in different scenarios that is when I made my hardest decision to become a single parent to my kids and to raise them alone.

Mother Mini-Me

My Mama has been an inspiration for us together with my two daughters. We appreciate everything she has done.

I know the balancing of time and responsibility seems overwhelming, and thanks God, He had given us a mother like my Mama who teaches us with so much love, respect and compassion. Who give us confidence and I am deeply touched with her words and I will carry that till the end of time.

She's my reflection. She test the strength in me --- my self-confidence.

That I belong to her and she belong to us(with her grandchildren). And when time comes that she's going to leave us, her legacy will live through me, her Mini-ME.

Here's a song dedicated to all Mothers!!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

I LOVE YOU MAMA....

Today(April 21) is my 39th birthday. And for some this age, especially for women is an age of maturity and being so responsible.

I am in my late 30's now, but still I act like a child at times, but I know when to become mature and when not to.

I have so many life experiences, and being a mature is part of growing up and some of it having to do with my life decision through certain stages or certain things.

I've been to many ups and downs, found my partner and heart broken. I've had love one's who were here and died the next. A pretty wild ride indeed, that I can say at the end that I handle it all with pride and confidence.

I am tough? Yes, I am tough enough, in a way how I handle things in my own perspective way.

So many lessons in life in a 39 years old single mom.

(1) Working hard doesn't mean you have to be smart. You need time and space to succeed, be organized and work efficiently. For a single mom, time is always gold--- DO NOT WASTE TIME.

(2) Be positive all the time, do not let negative things get to you.

(3) I know no one is PERFECT! So be who you are and don't pretend. It doesn't mean that they are great they are already perfect. You encountered lots of it, people who are boastful in their achievements, but still they are human, they commit mistakes.

(4) Slowly but surely. In every work you make, at the office or at home be precise and gradually you will achieve the desired results. The choice is yours!

(5) That KARMA is REAL. It happened with me personally. Everytime I give more with my work, I get more than I ask for.

(6) Make a change. Do not stick to one place, one person or to one group. Be flexible and adaptable. This is true with me, I don't like to hang around too long with one group of people. I love to mingle with other people that are not my close. I spend time with people who are there to support me and believe me all the way.

(7) Keep on listening with your guts, because your guts are always right.

(8) In every relationship you enter, be happy. Because if you're happy with it, then your relationship will perfectly successful. It really starts with ourselves. Maybe I am not happy with what I see and experience that is why my relationship with my partner is not working great.

These are just some of the lessons I've learned from my 38 years of age. Now that I am 39, I hope I will learned more about maturity and get the right spot for another leap in my life daily progress.

GRATEFUL, THANKFUL & BLESSED

With much sincerity and happiness I thank everyone who greeted my birthday. I wasn't expecting to do something special neither I wasn't prepare to make a day a very special day, but with all your messages via viber and mobile through call & text and Facebook messages via private message and on my Facebook timeline and on my Twitter and Google forced me to see this day as a very memorable one.

I am overwhelmed and touched with all your messages and how you remembered my natal day who took time even little effort to greet me. Your message mean a lot to me, it keep me strong and it give me enough courage to face life greatest challenges.

Thank you all.

If you've been in Facebook, the chances to see this kind of a video that posted by some of your friend is this.

I'm not pregnant
Aliw si gagah!!! Hahaha!Nakakaloka!#Dubsmash
Posted by Chonna Mae on Sunday, April 19, 2015

So I guess, I have to make a review just to informed that this app really grab so much attention that majority of the users enjoy and loving it, but others complain for it becomes an annoying video taking over their Facebook feed.

DUBSMASH was launched on November 19, 2014, it is a video messaging that can be share in order to get in touch with families, relatives and friends, by simple recording of a selfie video added with a famous movie scene, TV quotes and more.

And for this, majority of the users highly recommend this app with a 5 stars recommendations, make it be on iTunes or in Google Play.

When people see a kind of a trending thingy, the initial reaction is to follow the trend and keep on posting it in their feeds, make it be on Facebook, The Vine, or on Twitter, as long they can share their video no one can STOP them.

Dubsmash become a Hallmark of success and at the same time spotted negative feedback especially those who cannot download Dubsmash or people who are not into this kind of a thing and HATE this app so much!

This dubsmash thing is getting annoying #dubsmashannoying #getoffmyfeeds #tamana

Never did I hate Facebook as much I hated today all you see these corny videos of people voice #ihatedubsmash.com

A HIT for some users because of its SIMPLICITY and it's EASY to USE application.

A FLOP for those who are annoyed because they cannot download Dubsmash, or the sounds is not playing nice or cannot share it with other social media like Facebook, Twitter or Vine.

ANNOYING DUBSMASH

My say, I love watching the Dubsmash video especially the funny one. I enjoyed watching people's dub of popular movie or in TV shows, etc.

But there are times that you are annoyed watching it over and over again, keep on feeding on your Facebook. You have no clue and it bothers you, it's annoying!

Unfortunately, there's no way OUT! DUBSMASH is the NEW SELFIE for this year. I cannot stop it from popping out from my Facebook, its viral and it is DUBSMASH and I have to DEAL with it!

But if you want to get rid of a Dubsmash video in your feed, just click the upper left corner of that post.

Lazada Philippines is an online shop that offers a wide variety of products. It provides a worry-free shipping online shopping experience to its customers.

Oh, that's the impression they want to imply to their customers, to give an hassle-free - EFFORTLESS Online SHOPPING experience.

Most of the people are buying online to avoid the hassle of going out to the malls---to avoid the inconvenient long counter line and to look for the best item without wasting time. If I need something and I've seen it online, my basic instinct is to buy that product online. Yes, I am a busy person, so I turned to Lazada to shop.

Actually, this is not my first online shop with them, I have been a constant customer of Lazada. The first transaction I have with them, is when I won a Discount Voucher worth PHp300 and need to use it, I bought 2 Android Tablets, and the second transaction is when I bought a REBECCA TOTE BAG.

All my transactions turn positive. As humans, we prefer positive feedback instead of giving critiques, right? However, as we always say, we are all humans, and we commit mistakes.

This time I need to rant all my disappointments with Lazada Philippines.

I purchased KYOWA Burger and Pancake Maker last March 31, 2015 and payment thru PAYPAL.

Screenshot from my Lazada Account - My Order

I waited for almost 2 weeks.

Yesterday( April 13), I use the TRACK and TRACE LBC Tracking Page. And in my dismay, I found out that my order status was "RETURN TO ORIGIN", because of the reason I cannot understand.

REFUSED TO ACCEPT ORDER???? How can I refuse my order? It is my order, why will I refuse it?

Screenshot from my LBC TRACKING PAGE
using my TRANSACTION NUMBER

I immediately call the Provincial HOTLINE of LBC:
1-800-10-8585999 and talk with their Customer Service Representative.

The CSR confirmed that my item was already in their warehouse, and she affirmed to me that they will RE-Deliver the item back to Davao as soon as possible within 24 or 48 hours. So, I was relieved with what I've heard.

After a few hours, a friend message me, telling me to try contact the main LBC WAREHOUSE Branch-Sasa. I did not hesitate to call and talk with the assigned courier of my item.

I ask him, how come my item is not delivered in my address?

COURIER ANSWERED: (1) My mobile number indicated in the paper is wrong and out of reached. (2) No one knows me personally in my area.

Our conversation is very short, but I am still shock with his reason. WHY? (1) I give LAZADA both my mobile number and Landline number to make sure that my item will be delivered. (2) How come no one knows me here in my barangay? I lived here for almost 38 years(since birth), and no one knows me????

Then the reason indicated in their tracking page is that I refused to accept my order???? Hahahaha...WHAT A BIG LIE!!!

Then received an email from LAZADA that I have to re-order the said item. Because I don't want to be stressed, so I emailed back LAZADA that I will not continue my transaction with them, just REFUND my payment.

I read a lot of negative reviews about Lazada, click here >>> Pissed Consumer

As of today, as I check my Lazada Account:

Screenshot from my Lazada Account - ORDER TRACKING

I am seriously disappointed with LAZADA, especially that I have been buying from them for years. And if this is the kind of service they want to give to online shoppers, then I will not waste my time with them.

LAZADA'S FAULT

(1) They did not give my other number to the courier. I have my account with Lazada, all the details are there, including my landline number.

(2) Instead of delivering back my package, they want me to re-order the item. Which is upon checking their site the item is unavailable. And according to them, I have to wait and visit their site and check if the item is already available. A bit confusing scenario, how come unavailable? What about the item returned to their warehouse, which is my item. And asking me for re-order and to wait????

They used to be the number one ONLINE SHOPPING SITE that I love so much, but now they're the worst.

Honestly, your new logo does not correspond to your service. EFFORTLESS???? Whew! Give me a break, it added more STRESS to your buyer.

A piece of advice here, NEVER TRUST LAZADA. I suggest, it is better to shop in a mall and pick your product instead and SAVE yourself from STRESS!

UPDATE: Paypal emailed me now, and I got my refund from Lazada.

Screenshot from my PAYPAL via email

Well, thanks anyway. I have said my part already. Hope you will fixed everything, especially the system you have now. We don't like it! It was a messed up situation!
