Gretchen Barretto’s Credit Card Scandal

PinoyUnited — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 08:34:34 +0000

Gretchen Barretto is on the news again. Gretchen doesn’t seem to run out of controversies. The latst of which is Ms. Barretto’s credit card scandal. One Sunday evening, Gretchen Barretto was having dinner with Ruffa Gutierrez and Pops Fernandez in one of the outlets of Hotel Dusit in Makati. When Gretchen Barretto tried to settle her bill, her credit card was denied.
The waiter repeatedly tried to swipe the card a few times but the payment request was denied. Gretchen Barretto, surprised about the incident, insisted that that it was impossible. However, despite the waiter’s further attempt, Gretchen’s credit card payment request was rejected by the machine.

Ruffa Gutierrez settled their bill instead. Apparently, Tony boy Cojuangco was seen at the hotel shortly after the credit card payment rejection incident. Some witnesses swore that Barretto raised her voice several times and her man looked very upset.

I always bring a couple of credit card, at least. A visa and a master card credit card. If one fails, you have the other as back up. It’s good to bring in some money, but you wouldn’t really want to carry a big amount of money with you, do you? Just ensure to make full payment when your credit card bill is due so as not to incur any interest charges.

PinoyUnited — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:09:11 +0000

Carly Smithson is the latest amongst Top 6 Idols to be ousted out of American Idol 2008 competition. Carly is probably one of the idols who has a wide range of voice. She does have that rock tempo on her voice. But it can’t be ignored that she does shout a bit on some of the songs she performed throughout the American Idol competition. Unfortunately, it remains a popularity contest. It’s quite clear that she’s not a favourite of the public having been at the bottom three for 3-4 times.

You can watch her perform for the last time on this video as she sings Jesus Christ Superstar:

All the best Carly Smithson. Your exposure in American Idol will surely boost your chance of making it in the music industry. Good luck.

Shine Away

I always wanted a brand new top of the range car. However, for practical reasons, I decided to stick with a not so new car. Definitely not a premium car either but it definitely does it job very well. Take me from A to B.

Despite my car being a few years old, I’m quite impressed about its looks really. Modesty aside they really think it’s quite recent. The car wax obviously does what it says on the packet - Shine and Sparkle. Unfortunately, it does give away its true age when you get inside the car. I suppose, I have to spice it up a bit more.

Additionally, it is import to ensure that the necessary annual car checks is conducted by appropriate car service to ensure that your car is safe to drive.

Some issues were raised if this is the beginning of the end of her “sexy” image in the industry. I don’t think that it’s necessary to completely eliminate this. Some big stars from across the pond still use this. So long as it remains decent as its not the focus of he story, it should be brilliant.
