TME: Korean Culture Center

-




So my Korean addict sister failed to attend the Korean Festival of sorts of KCC the last time so she ended up closely monitoring the site for future events. One of which was the free movie showing on site.

After work they came to fetch me (she was able to convince our parents to come with) and so started our not so nice first time trip from SM Megamall to Taguig. I don't have a car of my own yet so in spite of travelling to and fro quite a few times (the latest was me and my java counterpart, our system user and our boss went to S&R just to eat at their food section; we even went undertime wahaha) I've no idea which direction to use. I did print a not so helpful map so we ended up asking almost every step of the way.




6:30 was the call time and we arrived 10 mins late. We almost lost hope when we reached St.Luke's but to everybody's relief KCC is a stone's throw away from the hospital. And learning of where it is I also now know where Garage 88 is :-D





The movie was Sunny, a reunion movie of childhood friends meeting up after spending so much time apart. It was the last wish of one of the girls in the group who has cancer and is only counting for her days. Like most Korean movies I've watched before, the comedy is so refreshing and new. The mediocre concept was enhanced by unexpected twists and details that make each scene interesting. I appreciate the movie so much. What's more, it is funny hearing everyne's reaction to some scenes. How everyone laughs in chorus, gasp in chorus, get giddy in chorus is also an added entertainment bonus.




It's a shame that I didn't thought of bringing my camera given that they allow visitors to photograph the place. It is a cute center that can make any Korean fan drool. There's even a fans group who went there complete with their banner.

Next time, hopefully there is, I would love to come back. Maybe for a movie, or to their festival. I'm sure it will be fun.

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

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
