Summer Komikon (4.17.10)

-

So I was late. It was my fault to have Wilvic wait. And because of that, we have failed to come there early and fix a spot near Meganon. It is also my fault that I'm bad at directions. I've been to like 4x in Bahay ng Alumni and I still don't remember how to get there. And like tradition we missed having the AFD2 copies (2 or 3 customers tried to wait but didn't came back) and also our first one-shot, a collaboration technically between us 4 (though in credits it's just me and Wilvic), both we weren't able to sell.

Sales are real down this time. I can cite the reasons why that is but I can't really write it here since I know I will offend people. Anyhow, again I've spent way too much out of my allocated budget and because of that I wasn't able to buy enough indies, just from our friends Meganon. Obviously the regulars are there, take note the former CCCom team are in one huge table so it's easier to take a group photo (which I don't have).

Again, out of budget reasons I failed to buy the latest compilation from Sir Medina but I wish I can afford it next con, hoping he's there for the autograph, David got my name wrong by writing "Nina", slow day comparable to other times when we don't realize how long we've been selling mainly because it isn't that fun when you are placed at the back.

The main highlight of the evening was Jin winning (his name was mispelled) in recreating a cover (hooray!) which I think made our day out of all the shenanigans of a wrong master copy, stalled jeeps and printers and whatever reasons this con has brought up. To think we should have learned our lessons now.

See you at the next con!

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...
