We at FreeSpeech published, “This Journal Will Actually Change Your Life! 2009” and we’re proud it because it does what it proclaims. Now we have a plan: We are inviting you to join our campaign: THE JOURNAL WHO ACTUALLY CHALLENGED THE STARBUCKS PLANNER.

THIS IS OUR CHALLENGE: take our planner and run a comparison with the Starbucks planner. Yes, we are serious. Point-for-point, we’d like you to blog about it and compare. We aren’t asking you to make us look good, we are asking for your honest comparison. We will provide a link to your blogsite from our website, of course.
This doesn’t end here. We have a little built-in contest. The blogger with the most responses on their comparison blog will win: 1) a FREE BoNa Coffee Company Membership Card, 2) a luxurious and relaxing full 1 day of pampering at Sujiivana Spa, and 3) a Free Hair Cut and Color at Sujiivana Salon.

Dear Sir/Mam:
We would like to invite you to see our newly renovated Mario’s in Quezon City. We are taking Mario’s to the next level since we have been around since Nov. 12, 1980. We have kept our Casa Specials which made us famous and have added new Chefs Specials that are more in keeping with the times. Our affair will be on the 18th of October, Saturday, around 7pm.
Our address is 191 Tomas Morato Ave. corner Scout Gandia and is beside Bruno’s barber shop and Ratzky’s. Same side as Alfredo’s. It will be a fun night and menu is a la carte. We will have our own Function room downstairs, Mt. Data, with our own music and wines will flow at dinner. Our Chef will be on hand to answer any queries on the dishes you will choose and of course, if you want recipes, we can arrange for that. Hope you can make it and feel free to invite any of your fellow foodie bloggers, just inform me how many you will be so can prepare the tables. Hope you can join us.

Hi Arpee,
What is the best way to recover my money Ph145,000. They continue to ignore my severalrequests for a refund as they violated my card details. My bank replaced my card as a result of 3 unauthorised debits from unknown individuals or entities. I knew it was them because I only used my card once in Manila. I have written to the Insurance regulators in Manila who asked them to respond but to this date I have not heard from them as well. I am happy to pay someone who help me recover my money. Pls send me an email if you require other details.
