Email I sent to MetroDeal

Lors    6:10 AM   
I just want to complain about this VERY VERY VERY VERY rude sales agent (as i believe he is) I talked to on the phone last Saturday. I was claiming my iLeaf earphones and the people from Circuit City said I wasn't on the master list. I talked to their Supervisor (also another extremely rude unpleasant lady) who I had requested to let their contact person from MetroDeal (Rodel something - is it really the way you work, your field AEs not giving out their last names to your Merchants?) call me, as I was waiting at the Circuit City branch in Megamall. I was talking to Rodel and was asking him what will happen now, will I get my earphones, etc. He just said yes i can claim them now and it wasn't Circuit City's fault that my name wasn't on the master list. I wasn't even blaming Circuit City. I was just asking him to explain why my name wasn't on the list when I clearly paid over the counter for it and have my voucher with me. He then proceeded to just end the call so rudely. I was still asking him what his last name was because I told him that this will all go to my BLOG, FACEBOOK, and other social networking sites. But he just HUNG UP. Is this professional? NO. It doesn't matter whether you're talking to a polite/angry/irate/shouting customer. He just HUNG UP. My experience with MetroDeal is very very very disappointing, to say the least. I am a creative writer that works for a group buying site catering to Americans so I have a basic know-how of how sales people should be talking to the Merchant's customers. Rodel was extremely rude. I will not be doing any more business with MetroDeal, and will ask my friends to stop subscribing as well.


It's not worth it. Saving money for this kind of service. Just stop subscribing toMetroDeal. Try CashCashPinoy or Beeconomic, instead.

Haven't been

Lors    1:37 AM   
blogging lately. As obvious. I just feel so tired all the time. I actually opened this account just so I could try to wake up.

Oh, and I'm hungry. Have to remind myself to tell girlfriend my hungry tummy is craving for some Purefoods pork and beans. And a Hungarian sausage.

If you could throw in a couple of chips or some bread roll, it would all make for a nice English breakfast. I wish.

13. No victor believes in chance.
14. Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.
15. Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.

18. The future influences the present just as much as the past.

29. Whoever despises himself nonetheless respects himself as one who despises.
30. All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.
31. What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself. What is bad? All that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.
32. Fear is the mother of morality.
33. A politician divides mankind into two classes: tools and enemies.
34. Everyone who has ever built anywhere a new heaven first found the power thereto in his own hell.
35. There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
