Smart Buddy: AND it happens YET AGAIN!!

This is the exact email that I sent to Smart's customer care email, MVP's email and Inquirer's The Consumer:

And it happens YET again.

I just lost 500+ text messages today, it happens YET again!!

Yesterday - July 15, 2010 at 11:08am - I checked my balance and it read:
Load: P353.00
Free texts to all networks: 851

I checked it again - July 15, 2010 at 19:33pm it read:
Load: P353.00
Free texts to all networks: 375

I check it again - July 15, 2010 at 22:07pm it read:
Load: P323.00
Free text to all networks: 375

I check it again - July 15, 2010 at 23:33pm it read:
Load: P323.00
Free text to all networks: 375

I then called the CS hotline - the call was received by Ms. Flor Palileo, I asked her to check my account details and she confirmed to me the following:
a) My FREE texts to all networks amounted to 683 (composed of 83 free texts from the 500 e-load, 44 free text messages from my call & text card, 83 free texts from the 500 e-load, and 473 free texts that were returned to me)

b) That I sent 3 local text messages and 2 international text messages (which amounted to P30.00 and was deducted accordingly to my balance)

Now:
1. Why the inconsistency in the data? The text message I got from Buddy Balance said that I had only 375 free text messages to all networks? While the date of the CSR was that I had 683 free texts to all networks!

2) Since the CSR confirmed that I sent out only THREE (3) local text messages, why was the balance of the free text to all networks not subtracted accordingly and correctly? 851 - 3 = 848? (If you count it properly - the balance was 851 subtract the 3 local text messages you'll get the figure 848 free text messages, am I right?) I was also told my www.twitter.com/SmartCares that there is NO EXPIRY for free text messages to all networks! I just loaded my mobile number yesterday with P500.00 and now - I am missing 473 free text messages!!

3) I've complained about this before - and was told that the CSRs can only see as far back as 7 days. I am writing to you now because I do not want those 7 days to lapse again and be given the reason that 'the system cannot see more than 7 days prior to the complaint'

WHERE DID THE FREE TEXT MESSAGE GO?
WHY DID THEY DISAPPEAR IN A SPAN OF 12 HOURS??

Please respond accordingly - because this is UNFAIR!!

Please resolve this as this is very unfair! We pay for the load that we use up and expect to use them up COMPLETELY without anything missing.

Put yourself in my shoes - tell me if you'll take this lightly or not.

This is the most recent balance inquiry that I did through their webconnect:

CAN ANYONE FROM SMART HELP ME OUT??

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer. THIS is where we get out groceries! Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers! From Kailee to Connor to Shobe! Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now. But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery. We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up. Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'. Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders. Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations. They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup. You may ask why? Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup! It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off. You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies! My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered. When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon. It actually made the preparation easier. I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it. Honestly, I don't think I can w

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen. I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us. I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat. I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was. I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe. She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil. So I stuck to baking for a while. It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook. When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up. There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking. It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
