T&J Salon: Digiperm and Color Combo (3.28.2015)

-
I've been a loyal Beauty Brick for so long now (well except for that unfortunate time when my friend and I went to this Ortigas salon for hair color we want to forget forever) that I was really skeptic in going to a new salon. An awfully near branch opened near my condo that convinced me to give it a try.

They have an ongoing promo for their opening, a 50% off discount for specific packages. I got the Loreal package that consists of:

PHP 1500
Rebond/Digiperm
Haircut
Keratin

There's a lesser version of this but they said that Loreal has a much better effect so I just got that even though I went just because of that 800 peso package. 

I was really expecting to be the first customer being early and all, so I was really surprised seeing a lot of women there already. I was even behind a group of three girls I should have overtaken but then I am quite sure I will not hear the end of it.

When I was finally called, there were no violet robes available anymore so they just let me use those standard black ponchos. They asked if I would like to have my hair color changed too for an additional rate. I declined initially but thought best to have it while it's still 750 php. I picked Ash Brown (again, my frustrations obviously) even though my jet black hair wouldn't able to handle it (grayness only work with blondes, and I'm so not one). More on that later.

Here's a really quick enumeration of what happened (because I'm lazy as sh*t)

1. Blowdry (came hair damp already)
2. Application of color. Declined application on eyebrows for fear of irritation.
3. Clingwrap
4. Heater machine
5. Wash + Application of Treatment
6. Blowdry
7. Application of Treatment (probably for curling)
8. Clingwrap
9. Heater Machine
10. Wait forever
11. Wash
12. Lame attempt to blow dry and leaving
13. Wait another 2nd life.
13. 2nd lame attempt to blow dry only to be told I don't need to be dried
14. Curling Machine
15. Blow dried while at the curling machine (wtf)
16. Dipped curled hair at another treatment (with shoulder pans to keep from dripping on the floor, if memory serves the milky water was  called it naturalizer (shoes??))
17. Felt like sporting a yoke for a while due to the shoulder pans
18. Ushered to be washed 
19. Assistant asking 3 people if it's just conditioner or with shampoo, finally asked head stylist who happened to have gone to the wash area and said just conditioner
20. Blowdried hair but now in two large curls and separated at the end.
21. Applied some sort of styling cream
22. Walked out having hair still a bit damp.

I had an event for today where people complimented my new hair and thought it does look good most especially the color. I hope by Monday (when I can wash it finally) I would be able to keep the same style as it was when I got out. I hope 2250 and the hours spent of my life (11-4) is worth it. 

I know whoever you are reading this might be asking, so here's another obligatory After Photo:

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...
