Rated Film on the TV Screen It was my unfortunate circumstance to be at the cardiovascular machines section in Fitness First SM Megamall on 05 July 2008 when one of the TV monitors, which was screening a rated film, showed a scene where a trio of girls removed their bikini tops to expose their breasts, and then proceeded to remove their bottoms to reveal their behinds.
Two bites into Pancake House’s Home Style Bangus, and I signaled for the server. One bite gave the impression that the milkfish was very dry. A second bite confirmed it.
The Pancake House server at the Mall of Asia branch on 27 June 2008 was a bit puzzled by my request to send it back to the kitchens. She discussed it with her supervisor, which filled me with trepidation because they might not fix the dish, which will probably cause me to stop going to Pancake House for years.
The Forgotten ID At 11.15am on 28 May 2008, I went to the PBCom Cubao branch with the intention of collecting my Western Union Google Adsense payment in dollars.
Having gotten used to EBusiness Services (another authorized Western Union dealer) only requiring one ID, I just brought my driver’s license. The PBCom associate (sorry I lost her calling card and I can’t remember her name) in charge of Western Union payments informed me of the bank’s requirement of two government issued IDs.
A Watery Discovery At home, I discovered that my three takeout orders of KFC arroz caldo (congee) on 16 May 2008 were watery. The three bowls held so much liquid that no rice could be seen floating on top. Whatever rice bits it held had to be coaxed upwards by a spoon. Dismayed, I wondered what I could do. Since it was takeout, I couldn’t exactly go to the counter and request for replacements.
Pizza Hut Bistro Surprise As I gave my HSBC credit card to the Pizza Hut Bistro Galleria server on 06 May 2008, she informed us that there is an ongoing HSBC promo of a Free Combo Platter for every Php 500 transaction paid for with a HSBC credit card.
She asked if it would be alright for us to wait 15 minutes for the kitchens to prepare the Combo Platter for takeout. Of course, we said yes to this very pleasant surprise.
There was a line, but I wasn’t worried. It was only 4.35pm. I had made reservations the night before so it shouldn’t take more than five minutes for my transaction to go through, enough time to make it even for a 5.15pm class at Fitness First Megamall.
I only finished by 5.18pm.
A Food Dilemma A sudden request to babysit three kids had me worried about what to feed them for dinner as I sped to my brother’s place. I wasn’t able to pass by any restaurant for take out nor withdraw enough cash for a large order delivery.
Shakey’s Pizza Delivery Call My sister-in-law assured me that Shakey’s Pizza accepts payments via credit card for its delivery orders.
