"Disadvantaged" Shop Lifter Black Woman

I guess our day to go shopping yesterday at Hulen Mall wasn't our lucky day. Myself, my daughter and a friend Jazzmine went to the mall so full of excitement but that was cut short when an unthinkable thing happened right after an hour we were there. Our first stop was Macy's. I was so touched by her for she offered me to buy me a handbag as her gift to me, we went through a couple of bags before I found that handbag I really liked. A Kathy Van Zeeland satchel. After we paid for it, we headed to Old Navy right across the street, we bought a few things there for her and for my girls.

She was wearing a red coat and it felt so warm inside the store so I told her to take it off and jam it in the Macy's paper bag since it was big enough for her coat (she wanted to put our newly bought stuff all in the same bag and I stopped her for she would wrinkle her coat, if she insisted we could have lost all our items). She did. We crossed the street back to the main building of the mall and went directly to Body Central store. After picking some pretty clothes we went to their fitting room. We used the biggest one as it was vacant bringing all the stuff we bought from previous stores in that room. The sales woman heard there were two people in that fitting room and it wasn't allowed so Jazzmine moved to the other room to try fitting her chosen clothes. Her handbag along with that big Macy's bag were left in the room where I was.

It didn't take me long to finish for I only had a blouse to try on and a belt. So I grabbed our stuff that was on the chair in that room (thinking I had all our stuff in my hands) and left that cubicle, on my way out I saw a black woman just came in and asked me if I was also waiting for a vacant room and I said no, go ahead use the big one for I am done in there.

I never left the fitting room for my friend was still there and waited outside her door at the same time talking to her and my daughter. Unaware that I forgot to take with me the Macy's bag and I didn't realize that until Jazzmine was done trying on all at least 8 clothing. It took her a while to get out that room where she was at.

Then we were ready to check out until we both looked where the Macy's bag was. Oh oh! We realized we don't have it and the only place she could think of where she put it was in the big room I was using. The black woman was still in there so we knocked on the door saying "Is there a Macy's bag in there?" (we asked the wrong question, we could have said it this way "I forgot my Macy's bag inside, can I get it?"). She said no, Jazzmine went there and knocked then I called the sales woman and she knocked as well asking the same thing. After being knocked 3 times, that "disadvantaged" thief black woman got furious, opened the door and said straight to my eyes, "Are you accusing me?" and slammed the door on me. Our voices started to raise but I don't think it was loud enough to catch other shoppers' attention.

I am pretty sure she was the one who stole our stuff. She took her time in that freaking room putting the stuff in her big bag, my satchel was a small one so easy to put it in hers and fold the coat and baby sweater, put them in my satchel and VOILA! I never left the fitting room, not a second and that shop lifter never left the room also so I couldn't suspect anyone but her.

I should have insisted that she took it, I could have raised the pressure on her and demanded to open the bag or at least call the store manager and have him/her nicely ask to open her bag. BUT NO, we were scared of her. She was a big and FAT woman, what can skinny Asians do? We thought. I didn't do anything further because we didn't want to make a scene!

What is most disappointing and discouraging in that place is that two of the sales associates (also black women) didn't even care. We asked if there is a camera in the fitting room or at the entrance of the store but they said no. We were hopeless for I see no concern in their faces, they didn't care about their customers at all, didn't bother to call the thief prevention control or Satan to at least inform them what is going on. To think that Body Central is my most favorite place shopping for dresses, I was so heart broken of them.

We identified the suspect, we should have never let her leave the store until somebody will do something about it. We could have called the police at least and tell them there is a shop lifting in progress in that store. What if we've done that? Could she be arrested? Who knows she has a series of criminal records piled up.

For sure it wasn't the first time she did it and so unfortunate of us, we were victimized by her. I am also pretty sure that she will keep doing it and eventually get caught. Thief BLACK WOMAN doesn't deserve to be in the society... KARMA is a bitch, bitch! God is watching you.

I am so heart broken not because I care of the price of what we lost but because of the fact that some assholes did that to us!

Living Doll

A living doll, that's how I describe my little girl. When I look at her, I see a cute doll with breathing. I find her to be so cute and oh I must love my own flesh and blood for I admire my own baby, lol.

I am just one lucky momma for having such an adorable little girl. Oh well, both of my girls are adorable I shall say. The photo on the right is of me and my baby one chilly afternoon. If you take a glance of her, you can almost say or as, is she real or a playing doll?

Infected With Virus

I regret for viewing Tagalog soap operas on tvpinoy.com for it has a virus that infected my computer. I heard so many complaints from viewers from the past that sites like these are often have virus in them and that when it hits your computer rest assured you will get infected too yet I did not listen. Instead, I went on and on watching this only soap opera that I am so crazy about. Here's the punishment, this computer I am using right now is so slow and cannot save downloaded graphics. It acted up 2 days ago and I worry what if the virus or malware can harm my files and totally crash my computer?

If only I can buy a dependable malware remover online that won't cost me much, I would be glad to do it. And if this certain software can totally clean my computer without the need of bringing this to a computer shop, I would be very glad!

Security Measure

Most industrial companies won't allow their employees bringing cellphones or any types of gadgets that could jeopardize their security. Why? Is it because they are afraid somebody from the inside would communicate people from the outside and intrude their privacy? Whatever their reasons are, they are the ones who know. Often the company provide phone lockers to their workers.

There are even some that won't allow even valuable items inside the working premises such as wallets and other stuff so what they do is provide them with a wallet locker. Well, that can be great but I feel the employees' concerns that it get broken into and take their precious stuff away. Crimes can happen anytime of the day and anywhere. But anyway, if people would secure their wallet lockers I don't think it can easily be opened and broken into.

Become A Tax Preparer

Another month has ended, welcome February! This only means that we are going to celebrate Valentine's Day in 13 days and most of all, we are just 3 months away until the last day of filing our tax from last year's income. I know most of you have already filed your income taxes and probably already received or will receive your tax refunds soon. How awesome!

As for us here, we haven't done it, we are still waiting on some forms to arrive before we file ours. Last year was a disaster because we only received $500 income tax return at first because our tax preparer screwed our child's name. That happened, makes me want to take a income tax course if possible so we can do it ourselves in the future and we can save money from paying somebody to prepare the tax for us.

If other people can do it, why can't I? All I have to do is enroll and eventually take the tax preparer exam. Many people are doing it and making a bit of money out of it as their sideline.

A Friend's Visit

So nice of this girl I knew through the internet, the popular social networking site called Facebook introduced by a college buddy and then she came visited me and my kids last Saturday. Who would have thought that I could meet her in person? She lives in San Francisco, California and I am here in Texas, sounds kinda far but if one person is interested to make it happen, there should be no excuses no alibis, there is a big way to make it happen!

Thankss to you Apol for taking the time to come by here and share dried fish and squid with me. next time again, ayaw tagam ha?

Making beautiful with what we have

Guest post written by Chelsea Linderman

Moving into our dream little house has made our budget for interior design shrink a little bit. The house is a fixer upper. We love that type of stuff, but that also means that we have to be better and more creative with our budget. Well, one thing that I've taken advantage of in decorating our place has been using old furniture that we already had or has been passed down to us.

While I was looking up some info on how to reupholster some of that furniture to give it a fresh, new look, I ran across some info on kitchen remodeling and decided to Click Here to get more info on it. That's one of the things that we were going to fix up in the house and that's something that I'd rather somebody else handle.

I'll just work on things like painting and reupholstering furniture as my part of the household makeover. My husband's pretty handy with things like putting up crown molding. Not so much installing cabinets and plumbing.
