Dan In Real Life (5.24.9)

-




Rating:
 ★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Romantic Comedy
P2, Dan, P2, Dan. Obviously I'd choose Dan (I think this was on HBO, Star Movies had P2). As much as I enjoy murder films, I just can't get the hang of watching slasher films or anything that ignites pathos, I’m more interested in the murder mystery type or just those that are on the killer’s side. I just can’t take too much adrenaline rush.

Another reason I’ve seen Dan is obviously because of Carell. I never would have thought that this was a romantic movie (I’m a bit allergic) but I stayed anyway because it wasn’t hardcore ‘I-love-you-forever-and-ever’ type of story. What was interesting was that I kind of relate to the character he portrays, someone reserved and unpopular. I don’t even need to mention that he’s a writer.

It wasn’t exactly the cheesy type of film you’d reminisce over and over with your beloved but it was some issue I don’t know if I was in the situation I don’t know if I can live with. Ending up with your brother’s fiancée is somewhat weird, like imagine what would it be like when the kids are older and you tell them how the two of you met. And while we are talking about families, I kind of wished my family had the same get-away and stay with them for around a whole week and do games, exercises, eat dinner, etc, etc.

Watching the movie I thought how boring I must be (the movie wasn’t... it was just in the middle of being ok), just that same old Dan minus the kids and a dead wife but was happy just the same for a simple happy ever after. And oh, I almost forgot. I just found I enjoy easy-listening music. I think I have to find their soundtrack.

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

-
Image
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...

TME: Getting your NBI Clearance Easy

-
Image
UPDATE (10/25/2013) As I've visited their site , GCASH won't be a form of payment for them from now on. You may now choose to leave this link as it is now obsolete as of this writing. 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...

SNAP: BPI Express Credit Card: Ridiculously fast.

-
Image
I did say before how I try my best to stay credit card free except for my trusty eprepaid card . What ended that promise and what bothers me now is how I got one in the first place. This is seriously weird, and fast at the same time... and I haven't even applied to them!! Tuesday. Received a call from BPI That I am eligible for a card. The only thing they ever asked was where I was working. After that I was told that they'd be sending my card anytime soon. Friday. Text from BPI saying my card was approved. What? Saturday. Noon. I received my card (LBC) with a credit limit far from the 10k limit I was prepared for. If I want something more than that I will pay in cash but never in credit.  Why do they have to give me this tempting limit at all?! Why?! So what just happened anyway? Monday-Tuesday I was in contact with a Citibank person after a referral of an officemate. Thursday they called the house and so far not anything from them yet. The mysterious t...
