Saturday-Sunday ( Mar 17-18 )

1st and 2nd Day of my week-long vacation leave,overnyt swimming @ Montevista, Pansol Laguna. Its a sort of reunion of our college barkada. It was originally planned @ Volets Resort in Cavite but since we’ll be having our kids w/ us, nyt swimming in a non-hotspring resort is not appealing.

We set it @ 6pm. Jeng and her family ( leo, lenard and yano) arrived first a little before 6pm. Rex, Kei and I arrived next @ about 7pm. We then waited for Flor’s Family ( ariel, anjo and yel-yel) and alma’s family. Had tequila, my first hard drink in years. Can’t actually remember the last time. Wasn’t given the chance to pass, ( was actually forced hehehe ). Perhaps I didn’t sound convincing when I told them that I longer drink alcoholic beverages. Well, to cut it short, we ( alma, jenny, amat and I) consumed 2 ( 750ml ) bottles. Rex, allan, leo and ariel consumed about 6 red horse grande. We occupied a large kamalig which also inlcudes a 12-seater table. We left at about 9am coz alma and leo have to go to work. Jenny and leo left at about 8am. Was able to hitch a ride w/ amat til metopolis alabang. Kei and I then take a bus from alabang to cubao. Rex went to victoria laguna to visit his long-lost HS friend, also our kumpare. Arrived home at around 11am.

Monday ( March 19 )

Went to DTI. Was able to secure an application form for sole proprietor business name registration ( whatever ots called). After completing the form, was sked on mar 22 ( 1pm ) for the evaluation. Txted pusa but was told that she’s on half day. Got home at about 6pm.

Tuesday ( March 20 )

Went to stella marris to submit kei’s application form ( together w/ the requirements) at around 430 pm. Too tired to do it earlier. hehehe! Nway, wasn’t able to pay the Php500 examination fee because the accounting/cashier’s office is already closed. Kei sked is on mar 22 8am.

Wednesday ( March 21 )

Went back to stella maris to pay the examination fee. Then went to isetann supermarket to to buy some toiletries. then went to sm cubao w/ kei. Also paid our phone/internet bill @ bayad center.

Thursday ( March 22 )

Rex accompanied kei to stella coz I need to go to DTI. Arrived at DTI @ around 12nn. Around 50 applicants (scheduled at 11am) are still waiting. Was told by the guard that I need to start a new line that was sked @ 1pm. But was also told that those sked @ 11am needs to be done first before the next batch. Found out that some of the "evaluators" are on their lunch break and only one counter is open, twas the reason why its taking too long to finish the 11am batch of applicants. Nway was done at around 215PM. Paid the php300 registration fee. Have to wait for almost an hour fot the releasing of the actual certification. Txted pusa and had coffee & yosi. Got home at about 6pm.

Friday ( March 23 )

Kei’s graduation ( preparatory ). Was sked @ 1pm but we have to be there early for the toga, flowers, etc. Arrived @ 1230NN. Good thing it was held @ St Ignatius Church coz it has a centralized aircon. Nway, it was very tiring 5-hour affair. It started w/ a mass then followed by the actual graduation then student’s presentations, then "kiddie party" c/o jollibee. Didn’t bother to attend the party, was too tired for that. Nway, we did prepare tuna putanesca and chocolate cake from goldilocks. Twas very tiring, perhaps due to the fact that it is the last day of my VL.

Im very happy because i have accomplished a lot of things during my 2-day off.

First Day : March 14

1st stop : SSS-Cubao ( @ 1030 am)

I was able have apply for an SSS ID which i’ve been wanting to have for the longest time…just for the reason of not having a "valid ID". Ewan ko b pero in almost all transaction that requires identification, u need to present at least two valid id.

Pero syempre, i didn’t came in unprepared. Tnx to the world wide web, I was able to check the requirements I need to have to apply for an SSS ID.  Check out their website, it might come in handy..www.sss.gov.ph. 

It took less than an hour to complete the process. All you have to do is fill up the "E6" form which you can get at the Information Desk. Then submit it together w/ at least 2 IDs ( I use my company ID and Postal ID-which I got at the local post office near Camp aguinaldo because I got no other gov’t valid ID which was also needed for you to enter the camp aguinaldo premises where kei is studying and also where we normally did our grocery- tax free of course.  hehehe! ). Nway after verifying all info in ur E6 form, next step will be the actual id capture ( take note, with flash po un camera n ginamit. good thing n nde ito parang NBI or police clearance the ordinary webcam lng ginagamit ),   finger print sampling ( index finger and thumb on both hands lng un needed ) and of course signature ( mejo difficult kc u hav to exert a lot of pressure on the actual scanner and u have to do it as if u have ur eyes closed. Y? because there’s no display on the actual scanner. although mejo mabait naman un nag-fafacilitate kc he let me look at the output and made necessary adjustments. As in nka-3 take ako ). Then after that u’ll be given the stub and that’s it!  U just have to sit back relax and dream that it will take just a maximum of 2 months to receive the ID.

2nd stop : NSO - East Ave Branch ( @ 1140 am )

I almost apply for the "express" ( Census Cerbilis )  for php300 each  because of the huge crowd. But as I was about to fill up the form, another applicant ask me how much it cost, he said, "tga-saan b kyo? kc kung s manila kng kyo masyado mahal yan. maganda lng yan kung tga probinsya un me kailangan kc idedeliver nila un kahit saan s pilipinas." Realization hit me, honga no, total d2 lng naman me sa manila tpos and2 n rin lng ako then make the most of it n lng. Mejo he made sense kc nga naman @ 125 per request ( birth cert, marriage certificate, etc)  tpos ipapadala p s province either through LBC or UPS plus un fare and meal allowance p nun mag aasikaso, sulit n. Unlike me n min fare lng papuntang east ave nde me gagastos ng php300. Then I also decided to request kei’s birth certificate and our marriage contract aside from my birth certificate para sulit pagod ko.  Imagine kung s express un php900  na agad. To cut it short, I waited for my number 3238 ( current number is around 2500++). Nway nde naman ganun katagal un waitng time kc un increment nun counter averages to 40’s ( paiba iba kc, minsan 20 un increment, minsan 40, 60 etc ).  1st wait is for them to check the request form that is on the first gate. 2nd wait : for the payment of course. During the 2nd wait another applicant gave me a new number 3192 ( i dunno how she aquired another number, no worries wasn’t asked for any money so definitely nde fixer, hehehe), meaning its 1 counter ahead. The only sad part is that the release date would be tom ( mar 15, 10 am ). Don’t worry i’ll be back tom… ;p

Third stop ( KFC farmers )

Well i need to have my lunch break…;p

Fourth Stop : Brgy Hall ( Socorro ) ( @ almost 3PM )

It didn’t take more than 5 min to complete the process. Im d only applicant the filling up the form took less than a min. Then the actual certificate took approx 3 min to complete ( min amount ot  tax for non-employed" is php50.30 ).

After this I admit im totally "worn out". I have to go home initially to freshen up. But since Im very tired it turned out to be a 2-hr nap ( siesta ). Then I decided that i need to stick to my sked and that includes having a 2×2 pic. So  back to cubao and have my picture taken at Kameraworld in alimall ( 4-2×2 and 8-1×1 ) not bad for php60 since its digital. Little bit malling then back to base. ;p
