This is not a rant post but I am sharing you my horrible story about the postcards that I sent to my friends/family in the Philippines.

I remembered I mailed 15 postcards last August and I was shocked that ONLY 3 received the postcards. I asked my friends if they have received it, and it's NEGATIVE.

So, I guess, this is confirmed. Postal Mail Service in the Philippines is DEAD.

Even their website (https://www.phlpost.gov.ph) doesn't have a customer support service form or contact information. And, the tracking feature is also unavailable. And btw, their Twitter account (@phlpost) is owned by a specific person, Who is SHE?

If you are sending an important documents or packages, I advise you to use commercial mailing services like Fedex or DHL which you can easily track your mail/package through their website or just call their customer support and they will able to help you to locate it.

Alright, I am now convinced NOT TO SEND anything to the Philippines using Phil Post.

 

Poor Service!

IN TAGLISH: Mababaw man or sabihin postcard lang yan, the fact that I took effort in sending it and paid the stamps eh I have the right para magreklamo. Hindi ko nga alam saan magrereklamo?

Feel free to share this horrible story on your timeline, tweets and blogs.

PS: My cousin received her Christmas Card from our cousin from USA (dated in 2012) few weeks ago, so it was a year delayed.  It's better late than never, bwahahaha!

Here are some complains I've researched online, feel free to browse them.

Step Up: Revolution - Dynamic and Cool

By daomisyel -

When I first heard that there is a fourth installment of Step Up , I was already thinking of its storyline. I know we will be entertained by casts' dance routines and cool new steps; If you are familiar with 'flash mobs' on your area (like we saw in Malls, parks, and streets), then definitely you can relate. The film has something to do with a group (called the Mob), who wanted to get the highest views in Youtube (around 10 million hits!) and wins the prize. Set in Miami, Sean (portrayed by Ryan Guzman) leads the The Mob and met (falls in love, yeah right) Emily (Kathryn McCormick) who wishes to be part of a professional dancing team, but her father who owns the hotel/resort where Sean works and eventually her father would like to take over Sean's neighborhood's property. The fourth installment has new approach to gather the audience's interest: music and dancing. There were few good moves I could remember and hit songs being played. It is an enjoyable film, for

Exchange your Coins to Cash at Coinstar!

I'm looking for quarters for laundry so I thought it'll be a good idea to start searching from my coinbank and coin purses. There's a coin shortage in United States since the pandemic because people don't go out and shop or pay thru cash so some business establishments are offering to exchange your coins.  I only go out once on a weekend to go grocery shopping for my weekly essentials. I knew there's a Coinstar machine at Jewel-Osco so I decided to go there and brought my coins.  1. You have to select which method you would like to get paid: Cash, E-giftcard, donate it to charity or buy Bitcoins from the machine! 2. After confirming, pour the coins to the machine. Rejected coins are coming out at the bottom so you can pick up again and throw it again.  3. Once all coins went inside the machine, select "you're done" with the transaction and receipt will be issued from the machine. 4. Go to the nearest cashier to exchange it for cash. Then you're all
