Super irked by the thousands of pictures that some so called photographers uploaded on Facebook that has all the bloody same poses with 1 mm difference of angle in taking them. It's like seeing tens of the same meaningless photos. OMG, please filter your photos!!!

PawGlam Collar Episode

Those who know me will know that I am a very reasonable person when I buy things. I have always been willing to compromise as I believe in this word; Karma, strongly. My parents are in the service business, I don't want my Karma goes to them being treated badly instead. Thus, it takes a lot and I mean a lot, for my patience to run dry. I felt so disappointed and cheated by this purchase of PawGlam Collar. Bought two from them previously and I know what quality I expected from them. It's not easy to irk me, yet when it does, it does me bad. 

Summary: Item bought and worn twice, when the lace frayed, Pawglam refused to fix it. Well, not refused, but agreed to fix at $20. When the new piece was bought at $32.90. Worse, a friend who bought the same piece experienced the same faulty lace too. Yeah well, Pawglam blatantly refused to take responsibility, saying it isn't their fault the lace is not a better quality. At the end, they gave a pathetic 15% discount for next purchase. 

UPDATE LATER THAT NIGHT: Pawglam after much pestering from my friend, who of course, more stubborn than me said that they will do a one to one exchange. That, too after a very much pestering that they insincerely proposed the idea. Probably after they checked their faulty lace. Anyway, I refused the offer and will continue to hate them. FYI, they didn't call up or message me to offer the exchange/ fixing, but asked through my friend. Sincere? Very!

UPDATE LATER LATER NEXT WEEK: Pawglam didn't do a one to one exchange to my friend. They replaced the lace part to something uglier. Sigh...

Full encounter below:

Bought this pretty piece from them $32.90. Bought I think Mid May or whatever I don't remember, but I took it out on 24th May to visit Daddy at MBS. Worn first time. It was a pretty light outing, a little walk here and there.

Second time worn just yesterday for an outing at a friend's place, well April did not play and stayed in my lap the whole bloody night. When I got home, I took out her collar to find a  badly frayed corner. I thought April might have scratched it, so I tested to pull a little on its rim to test its strength. Yea, no strength needed, just a tug and it's all gone to pieces. Sucks to the max! If it were strong and I know April might have accidentally scratched it, I WILL pay the fixing fee, and my message would be honestly this, "Hi, April has accidentally scratched this, can you help me fix it, I don't mind topping some $$." With a quality like this, no way...

So, the message goes as attached below, word for word.

 

Uh.. so what if it was a gift, although it wasn't, but it's not nice to put things that way. Felt a little offended, but maybe I shouldn't be too sensitive, I thought. So I let it go.

Not a person to end things on a bad note, I ended it nicely, albeit sarcastically. Don't know if she is trying to match my sarcasm with the reply below. Can't she tell I'm ending my business with them here?

Upset, I took things onto my own hands, I cut the bottom part off, in tears, mind you.

I love my things and I have feelings for them =(

Thought gonna just shut up and let it go when my friend Lydia bought the same piece as me and got the same problem, too. Same problem, same answer!!!! Obviously something is wrong with your craftmanshipppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO a recall on this design, omg...

Allright, some also say that I am cheapo, yeah whatever, would I cheat a $20. Me lehhhh... meeee.....!!!

I sent her this on March and I understand that wearing off is a norm, didn't kick a fuss when she said she doesn't recondition. I understand... Even when the collar compared to the one I bought years go from Bangkok and worn to beach and rough plays hasn't worn off yet, still questionably awful. Yet, I understand and bought another one from her. 

Now, you tell me, what kind of service is this? Am I being demanding and unreasonable here?

It's really not you...

As much as I thought that this blog is half dead or maybe entirely dead, there are alive readers. Some avid ones at that, really thankful for taking some interests in my current boring life. Well, some are upset at my posts, I wonder why. I have always been articulately diligent in not mentioning names, location or worse the person itself. I shied away from controversial topics of Religions, Race, Sexualism. I really don't appreciate getting screenshot and going viral. Really, I am not that much of that type of attention lover.

When you are looking at my posts, if you think I was writing about you, I am probably not. Though if you feel offended, there's nothing I can do about it. Take all my posts with a pinch of salt, if you want clarification, come ask me. There's probably nothing I wouldn't say. If I can say it out behind your back, you have probably heard it before anyway...

Chiao~ Remember, salt!

Seriously, people....

I had the most annoying conversation with somebody a few days back. I was talking to some friends about pets, the demise of pets, so on and so forth. How it is going to be so painful when the time comes to say goodbye. Then this bitch pulled a chair in and sat by my side, with just a sentence, "It's just a dog, get over it!". The time seemed to freeze at that moment she said that, I can still remember hearing her slurping her finished Coke from the cup noisily, a small gust of wind as the rest of my friends leaned back unconsciously to their seats. I can remember feeling that nerve tick on my head and I gritted my teeth before I said, "You know, saying it's just a dog who died to me is the same as saying it's just your daughter who died, get over it!", she stunned with her eyes wide open and I continued, "So why can't you just give birth to another daughter and rename her the same name as your current one?". Tell me if I am over sensitive, nobody has the right to say whose whom is just a whom, don't be so cocky to think that only your people is important.

Anyway, I think she got what I meant when she actually apologized and acknowledged that she has blurted things out before thinking. This post is meant to all of you who think a pet is just a pet. My pets mean the same thing to me as my family. A part of me will be lost, too if I lost them. Get it?

Downside of this dog world

Been irked by the so many dog owners who thinks they are Semi-God in taking care of their own dogs. The raw feeders who thinks feeding raw is like feeding heaven food. There are pros and cons to any type of feeding, if you think feeding raw is the best, so be it. Don't condemn others not doing so, we as pet owners would think what we are doing is the best of what we can do.

What's the use of feeding raw if your dogs are not given happiness from exercise, walking and running daily. I think my baby girl is happiest and most sated when she is tired from our walk, our run or just frolicking on the grass. If you are afraid your dogs will get hot, dirty, ticks or fleas, that's your choice. I respect your choice as I think you think you are doing the best for your dogs.

I sacrificed my girl's long coat for her safety and comfort. As I think she is beautiful inside out, no matter if she is in short or long coat. She is beautiful in my eyes, I don't care if others don't think so. Their judgement doesn't matter at all. What I want is her to be happy and carefree, she is already 9, I think she deserved it.

Why does training our dogs with treats is considered cruel? I can bet that my girl or any other dogs are not starved when doing this training. That's why treats are given and not kibbles, you moron! They could have just eaten a fulfilling plate of meat and they will still progress with their training flawlessly. My girl could even do her tricks without treats now and would just be as happy with my praises and lots of hugs and kisses. They are happy to be working.

Last but not least, the ones who liked to show off their branded dogs items. Everybody know how your dogs wardrobe looks like and what accessories they have. They aren't cheap, we know. But, when it comes to their health, are you even half as generous as you are when you bought that newest LV collar?

Think about it... I have enough of such people around me....

Blue day...

Felt so blue today, upon reaching home to find that Mom is not here. The house is quiet once again, need to adjust again, hate the feeling so much. With Mom here, I have been busy catching up with her. So fast, she has been here for a month and none of us realised it. Everyone got a touch of her warmth, so it felt like something is missing. Poor Mom, she has to juggle 2 countries, luckily Bro is 7 hours away and she hates long flights.

Ahhh... hate this feeling!

I wanna live in a ball...

You know, we have it for hamsters to roll around with. Why not for human as well, so we can have those transparent ball that we can actually live in. I'm getting very sick of all the dust particles that comes from I don't know where. I hate the specks of dust lying on my stuffs and it seems to be a never ending job to keep wiping them off. I have no OCD problem, but it's really killing me. I feel like getting those auto machines that does auto vacuum around the house and is able to walk back to its own corner to recharge itself. The bad thing is that it's so bloody slow that I probably grow white hair faster than it would in cleaning the whole house. Imagine it goes zzzzz..... zzzz... zzzz...., my God~ Some more, with 3 monkeys in the house, I think it will end up be a skater vacuum. Haiz...
