1000 PC Puzzle achieved!

Late last year, I had one of those impulse buys. I wasn't really looking for anything at NBS, actually it was the Generals game that caught my eye, and just decided that since I'm buying something now, might as well grab that box of jigsaw puzzle.


(Just remembered I haven't written anything about the Puzzle Mansion, will make time for it one time)


The puzzle is quite huge, it had taken most of the space of my dining table so there's nothing I can do while it's on there. I'm suddenly out of places for things I kind of thought to do. Like "Hey I wanted to practice calligraphy... (sees the puzzle on the table then loses interest)". I did manage to work via the laptop table, but when I suddenly had the urge to bake, it's already a lost cause, I need the table. This cannot be left unfinished!

I have to admit, it was definitely a feat. My sisters and my bf attempted to add pieces (the youngest had the most contributed, she finished the bridge one night) but it was most of mine. I worked on it standing too, so usually I resume this madness after dinner. I don't know about losing weight, but it had definitely made me appreciate hues and pattern. A slight change of color, a tiny deviation from the myriad of colors is a big deal when you're working on something like this. Now I know what to look for when I do another puzzle (which would be a long time before it happens again obviously, I don't want my unit to be filled with it).


And speaking of filling, it is surprisingly fulfilling. It is hard, my back aches after a session, my legs strained from standing for hours. It's not even easy to say the least, especially having eyes with 500+ grade. Now every time I see a jigsaw puzzle completed I am at awe at the time they spent on it. And now I have mine to admire for myself too.

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...
