The Lost Symbol (4.21.10)

-
Rating:★★★
Category:Books
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Author:Dan Brown
The latest from Brown, he has as I originally thought exhausted every idea he can use for science clash religion themes but here he is with his new book. Still the same characters I think, a science girl, a psyhotic killer and some intelligent old something and the fall guy who you imagined at first to be the villain. Nothing new really, but it does have the same adrenaline rush and little bits of trivia you aren't aware of (like the darth vader gargoyle in Washington National Cathedrail) down to the twist recognizable of Brown's trademark.

As much as it was like the rest of Brown's novels, this I think just has too much dialogue on it. And the more you read those Ancient Mysteries in their arguments it has slowly become boring, repetitive and unbelievable. Sounds like he is picking up a fight with the religious people again with all his statements, neh?

    I kept it at one word because I thought you don't want to hear the fact that I was not looking forward to this. Or that I only read one Dan book despite having two others given to me . But there my secret is out.

T&J Weds: Getting a License at the Mandaluyong City Hall during the Pandemic (2021)

As of writing, our application for a license is now on the way. We were able to do everything in one day with not much hassle but it took some hours to finish since we started the process. It's a bit different than before but man, I love that we didn't have to take a leave on another day (other than getting the license obviously).  Requirements 1. CENOMAR -PSA copy, 210 PHP at SM Business Center; will take almost 2 weeks 2. Birth Certificate - PS copy, 155 PHP at SM Business Center; will take a week 3. Government IDs with Mandaluyong address. Old bills, minimum 6 months prior can be submitted as well in lieu. I prepared 3 bills for this, Meralco, Globe and Assoc Dues and the processor only got the Meralco one (photocopy). I don't have IDs with Mandaluyong address but bothered to photocopy my other government IDs bearing our Cavite address and my condo's IDs but those weren't accepted.  4. Application Form - submitted and filled out in triplicate. 5. CEDULA - Can be

I may try to write the different mode of payment in the near future. UPDATE(13/01/2014) Here's the new, updated and lazier version  < this is clickable just so you know. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I will not explain the full details, but me and my office mates regularly need an NBI Clearance. It's one of my most hated moments because it is so time consuming. Yes the process is as fast as they can make it, but you only need to see the extremely long queue to give up getting one during lunch break. So, when one of our office mates found a fast track option a whole lot of us instantly grabbed the chance. There are about 3 steps in getting an NBI clearance (payment, encoding, picture taking) and all involves different sets of queues and wh
