The Villar Mansion Email (3.10.09)

-

Weeks ago I received this email and it goes something like this:

"Imagine who would have such taste and live in such opulence?

An American Billionaire?
A Saudi Prince?
Louis XIV of France ?
Savour the pictures then scroll to the bottom of the page to see who owns this Work of Art. "

After a few photos (which I won't include here) has the following statement:

"This Mansion is in Salt Lake City , Utah , USA and belongs to:
Senator Manny Villar of the Philippines

While Filipinos starve, and die because of abject poverty ....and while Sen. Villar brags that he had poor beginnings and he had helped his poor countrymen over and over again... but look now.. he and his family live like this.......his GREED kills his poverty stricken fellow Filipinos .
PLEASE send this to everyone you know.
They can send it to everyone they know.
Soon Filipinos around the world will know what this man is doing to the people he wishes to serve if elected President. "


To set things straight, this email is a hoax, for those of you who still don't have any idea that it is. The original email goes in this format from this link:
http://www.hoax-slayer.com/robert-mugabe-mansion.shtml


What you can read from there is that this email has been used time and time again by people who just wanted to instigate anger amongst people, especially most of us who have slim chances of ever having such grand mansion.

I may not be PRO-Villar. But I still think that we have to be fair for everyone to be able to make choices. It will not make me vote for him knowing this, nor should you. It will also not be your reason why you shouldn't. It just means that we have to be much more intelligent in how we perceive things when presented to us. I don't really like to make this a post, I have actually given up on it but with how pissed my officemate was after receiving said email I thought people really tend to take chain mails that seriously without doing further research. Besides it's the internet! The only way to prove something is true is if it is constant all through out. If it's not the case then Ed must really be a rabbi. I on the other hand is a mutated penguin. And you reader has an IQ of 70. Got it?

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

SNAP: BPI Express Credit Card: Ridiculously fast.

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 th

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
