COMPLAINTS. Complaints.

You know that website DEFINITELY FILIPINO? Wow! It's a website that you really can relate to. Controversial issue straight from the most provocative Filipinos,  OFWs who tried to make a difference in this world. They are strong-willed individuals who made this world a better place by "filing" complaints, stories worth revealing and stories worth mentioning through the net. Bravo!

NOW what? I have my own story to reveal too in my own blogosphere. And this is  for REAL! Real Madrid!Let me begin with this story so real you can vomit. Actually have to file this kind of discrimination at the Bureau of Human Rights.

This true story happened sometime YEARS AGO.

It was time for me to renew my passport. But first have to get the right "photo" passport from the dept. store that offers Passport photo for less than the price from the usual photoplace that I used to go to. That time there are only 2 shop for that "photography" where they are certified for that kind of "purpose." Maliit lang kasi ang town na ito. City daw pero town lang siya. Kailangan itagalog ko kasi alam mo na marami ditong Judas. So I made sure na ok naman ang representation ng face ko para maganda ang  kuha ng picture. Dala ko yung kapirasong papel na may right size para sa pasaporte (Philippine Passport). Pagdating ko doon sa store, London Drugs yun, newly built palang siya dito sa town na ito. Nakita ko yung saleslady may kausap na guy. Naghintay ako ng turn ko kasi mukhang busy siya sa customer nya. Aba more than 10 minutes di pa sya tapos doon sa nag-iisang costumer. Lumapit ako sa kanila and then I said, "excuse me.." just to get her attention. Umalis yung kausap. Hindi naman costumer kundi employee din ata sa store na iyon kasi naka-uniform eh. Sumimangot yung saleslady na mataba. Chubby sya eh. Parang galit dahil naistorbo sya sa pakikipag-usap doon sa guapong guy. Ewan ko ba kung anong usapan nila eh hindi naman ako nosy. Hindi naman siya costumer kasi wala namang binili. I told her what I want. Diretso ako sa sinabi ko na gusto kong magpakuha ng photo sa ganung size para sa Philippine passport. Then tinanong ko na rin yung size para sa PR card photo.  Malinaw ang English ko. Sabi niya hindi nya alam ang size para sa PR card. Ang alam lang nyang size ay yung photo for Canadian passport. But then hindi rin siya sure sa tamang size nung photo. So sabi ko why not she find it out sa computer tutal may computer doon sa puesto nya. Then she looked at it. Then pumuesto na ako doon sa may harap ng camera for the photo shoot. Parang alanganin sya na kuhaan ako ng picture. Hindi nya ata alam ang pipindutin sa camera. Pumasok ulit sya sa cubicle then she looked at the computer. Ang tagal. siguro more than 2 minutes or 3 minutes matagal. Nakakaimbierna. Nagtataka ako so I peek in to find out what she is looking at. Aba! Mga photographs ng East indian, Pakistani at Muslim ang nakabalandra sa monitor ng screen ng computer nya. Nagtataka ako kung bakit. Maya-maya sinabi nya na ang alam nyang passport size ay yun lang nandoon sa harap ng computer. Then I asked, " how about Philippine passport photo size?" She said," none! " There's nothing there! Medyo nairita ako. This is Canada and you don't have any information about the Philippines when it comes to passport size and you have those people there? I was surprised. Then she asked me, " do you understand?" I cannot take off my eyes on her. I was flabbergasted with her the way she talked to me. She was yelling. Of course I can hear her but what she is telling me is nonsense. I am there to have a Philippine passport photo and I know the correct size. What is her problem? All she needs to do is TAKE A PHOTO OF ME then she can resize the photo through the help of computer digitalized imaging or cropping or cutting the size of the original photo. Really what is so wrong with her????????

Then she asked me again if I can understand her. FGS! It's her who cannot understand me and I think she doesn't know how to use the CAMERA. She was mad at me and at the same time I was getting highblood. It's like my blood went up high to my brain. Para akong mahaheart attack. Kumukulo ang dugo ko sa bastos na yun. Maayos naman ang pagsasalita ko. Then her face is so stern. Parang galit. Eh sya itong walang alam sa work niya. I stared at her one more time to see if  she's got a "name plate" on her uniform. Her name? If that's her name? Gusto mo ipost ko yung name nya dito for public viewing? Then suddenly I saw her arms. Her arms has contact dermatitis!!!!!!!! She needs eczacort with hydrocortisone. That stup---! bitch made me itchy by looking at her arms.

Then I told her, "never mind." I stepped backwards and moved on to the other aisle of that store. Nahihilo ako kasi nagsisikip ang dibdib ko. Feel ko aatakihin ako sa puso sa sobrang galit.

Ngi!!!! I went out with a heavy feet. Galit na galit ako sa bruhang yun. Then I realized maybe there is something wrong with her. Maybe depressed or with learning disability. She probably doesn't know her job. Too many of them who work in Canada with learning disability and when they clashed with customers the company suffered and they lose their company. Now you wonder why too many big or small company shut down and more shutting down? Due to that kind of incident. There are too many incidence that are never reported for public viewing. But this case about that woman? Was she a prankster? Or she is that arrogant and without consideration? I first thought every employee or sales clerks are being reprimanded for bad behaviour or you know being punished for making so much mistake. Most of all for prejudice and discrimination...case of RACISM.
