The Story: Chacha's Fashion Menu Issue

            

            First of all, I would like to thank you for taking time to check this blogpost and hearing my side of the story. It's greatly appreciated. Warning though, this could be a long post since I have to tell the story in details for you to understand the whole thing.

            I couldn't remember when she messaged me. As far as I can remember, she messaged me through viber. She asked me if she could be a reseller. Sayang lang kase wala akong screenshot ng conversation namin and since naupdate ang Viber ko, naerase yung mga former messages.

            Nung una, tinanggihan ko sya. Ayoko kase magkaron ng problema. Alam nyo naman, di madali magtiwala sa panahon ngayon. Pero since she insisted at as a student back then, alam ko yung feeling na gusto ko kumita ng extra. So I said, okay, let's give it a shot. I allowed her to take the photos of the CURRENT collection noon. I saw it from her account and she even added me as a friend; gamit nya yung online shop nya.

            A few months later, may nakapagsabi na may gumagamit ng photos ko. When I opened the link, sa online shop nya bumagsak. Yung mga photos na yun, hindi nya pinagpaalam saken pero di ko na sya kinonfront. I monitored her shop para naman masabi ko agad sa kanya pag SOLD na yung item. Too bad I didn't get to screen shot it. I wanted to trust her kahit na may doubts. I wanted to give her a chance to prove to me she was worth trusting. Now I know she isn't worth it.

            Naging hassle. Lagi nya ako minemessage asking if the item is still available and all kase nga may nagtatanong rin ata sa kanya kung available pa. Medyo nag-isip na ako noon how to talk to her na ayoko na sya mag-resell ng items ko. Kaso naging busy ako sa work kaya hindi ko na sya namessage pa.

            Then she messaged me sa Facebook page. Buti nalang di ko pa nadedelete yung message na toh sa Facebook page ko.

            Starting from this incident, since she said PAID na yung item and she never told me to reserve it in the first place, naging curious ako. I checked through her Facebook online shop account and saw some of the photos na she took from me na SOLD na pero hindi nya nireremove. I commented on the photo saying that the item posted has been SOLD. Hindi ko na pinag aksayahan na iprint screen kase busy ako attending to some of my buyers and pagod from work. Parang waste of time pa kase iprint screen, at least nagcomment ako doon to let the others know the item is no longer available.

            One day, from work, another kind human being messaged me in viber saying someone is using my photos. I asked pero hindi na nagreply yung nag message saken. Pero sya agad yung naisip ko. So I quickly checked her Facebook page and saw that the photos were still there. Tapos napansin ko yung sa "Friends" part ng Facebook nya yung personal account nya. Ewan ba, siguro talagang ang Dyos ang nagturo saken na buksan yon. When I opened the account, BOOOM! Ito agad ang nakita ko.

            I confronted her right away. I had to print screen this kase I need to send it to her. Nawalan na yung conversation namin sa Facebook and I wasn't able to screen shot it for two reasons: 1) Di ko na inisip pag-aksayahan pa ng panahon kase nainis na ako sa kanya, parang bahala nalang sya. 2) Pagod ako from work. Mas gusto ko magpahinga kesa mastress sa kanya.

            I think yun ang pagkakamali ko. Sana, noon pa lang, na-print screen ko na, pati yung photos ng ibang shops na na-grab nya. Noon pa lang, natanong ko na yung owners. Noon pa lang, nainform ko na ang lahat sa kagaguhan nya. Excuse my term. It's the only word I know right now that can define what she's been doing.

            

            Just for everyone to know, this was my logo before (left) and replaced it with this one (right) kase yung una akong logo, I only made it through this app (I forgot what app) eh marami na kame ganun yung background sa logo kaya naisipan kong magbago. Same lang ang date ng pagpalit ko ng logo sa IG with my Facebook page. As you can see, the date for the colorful logo was May 16, 2013 and the brown one was July 21, 2013.

            Ano koneksyon kay Chacha's Fashion Menu? Oh teka, hinga muna. Mahaba-haba na ito. Lol.

                      

            Nakalimutan ko sya i-delete sa friends ko. Kaya nung nag upload sya ng logo nya noong August 9, 2013, nakita ko sa newsfeed ko. Coincidence, isn't it? 19 days after the upload of my logo, nagpalit rin sya, with ALMOST the same logo? How strange. Kaya binalock ko na sya agad. Nanahimik ako noon. Di ko sya pinakielaman. Nakakaawa naman kase bata.

            Naging follower ko parin sya sa Instagram. Lagi nagtatanong kung kelan ang next collection, naglilike, at ang nakakatawa pa, she even had the guts to ask what apps I'm using? LOL. Like really? After all she's done? Did she really think she's worth trusting?

            Nanahimik ako noon kaso di ko natiis nung makita ko nagtatanong sya sa mga shops na malapit sa akin. See photo above. She's been using her personal account. Great move girl.

            Minessage ko yung isa sa pinaka-close ko (pero di pa kame nagmemeet in person) si @lunastoremnl. I told her to be careful. I told her the story. Then she mentioned na same na naman pala kame ng logo. LOL. Let these photos and date speak for itself. Napaka coincidence naman yata na after 12 days, almost same na naman kame ng logo? What do you think?

                   

            Sabi ko nga, di ko na natiis kaya I posted her. These were my posts.

            She posted something on her account. Since mahal ang internet dito sa bansang tinitirahan ko ngayon, ginamit ko yung laptop ng nanay ko to log in sa Instagram para macheck. I used my personal account kase blocked na yung @fashionbulletin eh. I admit, naging sarcastic ako sa mga comments ko on her account. Di ko lang naprint screen. Niremove nya rin kase agad. Ano nakalagay? Medyo mahaba pero paulit ulit nya lang sinasabi na (not her exact words though)... "OA mo." "Akala mo naman nawalan ng dignidad?" "OA mo!" "Wag kang OA teh." Basta paulit ulit lang yan. Nakakatawa diba. Nung niremove nya, wala sya narinig saken. Nung niremove ko yung post ko about sa kanya, dami na nya sinabi? Ayaw nya ata tanggalin ko. Pero bakit nakagawa pa sya or sila ng friends nya, @v4vendetta? Woah. A+ for the effort teh!

            I admit, I posted her again kase di sya matahimik eh. Pero after the post of that account, yung @v4vendetta, eh aaminin ko, natauhan ako. Baka nga naman nakaka-bad vibes na ko sa mga followers ko. Minessage rin pala ko sa viber nung gumawa nyan using this number. Nung sinave ko ang numbers sa contacts, nagbabaka-sakali na baka may picture... eh ayun nga, meron nga. Pinost ko pa nga yan sa IG. Kaso niremove ko rin kase nasense ko na baka ginamit nya lang. Seems like my instincts again were right.

  

  

            Nakakaawa naman yung nagmamay-ari ng mukhang yan. Kung sino man po ang nakakakilala sa babae o lalaking ito, pakisabi po na may gumagamit ng litrato nila. Salamat.

            Dahil sa kagustuhan kong malaman sino ang totoong gumawa ng account na ito, tinary ko mag stalk. LOL. Nakita ko ang Twitter account nya. These are a few of the tweets she had. Some were in Ilokano. Pasensya ka girl. Tumigil kame sa Ilocos and know what the fuck you're talking about.

            I'm sure binabasa rin ito ni Charlene Barroga eh. So let me talk to you. Niremove ko yung posts ko kase natauhan ako sa sinabi ni v4vendetta. Please, don't flatter yourself too much. Don't say hindi ako makasagot sayo? Like how the fuck am I going to talk back about your post when my accounts where already blocked? SRSLY? Don't say I removed it kase narealize kong mali ako. Mali saan? Sa pinost ko na manggagaya ka? Sa post ko telling other shops to be aware? Oh please.

            And REVENGE? Wait, are you behind the @v4vendetta84 account? Sa tingin nyo guys? Thanks ha. You just proved na gusto mo talaga ng gulo at baka may kinalaman ka sa account na yon. Wala ka ba magawa sa buhay mo?

             I tried to change my username. That's true. Tama itong post ni Charlene (na tinanggal na nya). But I didn't runaway. I just wanted a peace of mind. Kase may nagmessage saken na buyer ko before. Medyo hurtful yung sinabi nya. Naniwala sya sa mga posts o messages nung baliw. Dun ako naapektuhan. I believe I've been good enough for my buyers. To you, you know who you are. Di ko alam kung mababasa mo pa ito pero sa dalawang transactions natin, sana inalam mo muna kung ano 'tong story? Coz there's many things you probably don't know. Pero thanks for making me realize you weren't for keeps. No offense ha, hindi sa pagiging Airhead pero I have this principle in life kase na why would I waste my time trying to please those who have already judged me? Thanks for the purchases pala. You helped me and a child; a part of those sales were given to street children in Binondo.

            Back to the story, those were the usernames I tried to use. I set my account in private para wala masyadong chismosa/chismoso. Kaso mukhang may friend sya o dummy account sya na ginagamit to follow me? Another A+ for the effort. So I decided to put it back to public para di na sya mahirapan. I will unblock you narin. Siguro kung may top views lang sa Instagram like blogs, isa na ako sa top 100 dahil lang sayo. I swear, God knows how I wanted to just be quiet for now kaso nagpost pa daw sya nyan. Sorry ka, di ko na kelangan mag effort icheck ang account mo, may isang shop na nagfofollow sayo that sent me this photo. And I quote... "sis, nkta mo b ung bgong post ni chacha?? grbe cia.. d prin tlga ttgil kht deactiv8 kn.. loka2 n yta un e.."

           Exactly my point. Tumahimik na ako pero sya parin talaga yung post ng post. Sino samin ngayon ang OA?

            Ayoko sana ipost ito pero I was provoked. Okay lang kung may mga nagduda sa story ko sa first upload ko noon sa Instagram. Ngayon, let me prove I wasn't lying. She did this to other shops as well. See their testimonials here. This blogpost will be updated pag na screen shot ko narin yung ibang messages saken ng ibang shops. For now, ito muna. You be the judge.

  

            Anong say ng may ari ng photos?

              Kaya kung ikaw, seller ka. Check mo na muna yung online shop account nya, click here. She might have grabbed your photos too without your permission. I will update this post pag nascreen shot ko na yung ibang conversation ko sa owner ng mga photos.

            A+ for the effort rin saken to type this blog post. Lol. I wanted to stay quiet na kaso ang dami parin kase talaga nyang dada. This will be my last post about this issue here, in my Facebook page and in Instagram. Ito na ang huling beses na pag-uusapan pa itong issue na ito.

            Kung sa tingin mo, nyo, mali parin ako sa ginagawa kong pag pahayag noon at ngayon. Tatanggapin ko. Ang mahalaga, I get to defend myself and tell my story. Sabi nga ng isa kong buyer, "you don't owe anyone an explanation". That's true, pero minsan, kelangan mo dipensahan ang sarili mo sa mga maling accusations sayo. Why? What for? TO CORRECT THE WRONG ACT. Yun naman lagi ang rason kung bakit ako nagpopost ng ganun sa Instagram; mga posts na pumupuna sa mga nakikita kong ginagawa ng buyers and sellers. Kaya kung hindi si Charlene Barroga or hindi anyone from her circle of friends ang behind the @v4vendetta84 account, okay lang saken. Walang kaso saken yon. Pero kung sila nga, and God knows the truth... God bless your lame souls. And God bless you nalang Charlene Barroga.

            This issue, for me, ends here. Anymore posts about this issue is already beyond my control and none of my concern anymore. Thank you for reading through. Thank you also for the buyers, followers and anonymous persons trying to comfort me through this non-sense. God bless you guys.

Let the photos and details speak for itself.
