The Batangas-Tagaytay Roadtrip (2015) Part 2

La Chevrerie

We are all in awe at the villa. The place is just comfortably huge you can fit like 7-10 people easy. There are tons of beds and the sofas are huge. There are also two baths, large TVs on both floors and an overlooking balcony. Even the table is good for hosting a large family gathering. The price of the villa is within the 20k++ range but I only get to pay half because the other half is the total price of what I won. Also my winnings include full course meals and a massage for two. I'm not comfortable with a massage so I had my sister and father claim that themselves.

There are other rooms available but they are on a separate building below because the resort is not in level with each other; the pool, L' Atelier and most of the rooms are steps down. So in case by dinner time your calves are already screaming foul going up and down the villa and the pool you can just call the cafe to deliver your food.

The pricing of the food is expensive as well (if you can afford the accommodation you probably have no right to complain) but it was hearty and delicious. There are some not in the menu but that is understandable when you only have a few guests at a time. It's that private that we had the pool all by ourselves the moment it was ready to dip (they were cleaning it at the crack of dawn). I haven't been in a pool for a long time and I'm not starting now so I was just at the edge taking photos of my sister and my father.


The sea beyond doesn't look welcoming though, the waves are just too high to swim in. It was so high in fact that some of it reach the cafe that they need to close the shutters on that side so it won't drench the diners.

Other than the pool they also offer hiking and diving but that's additional expense (that's 4 of us x 9k++ and that is just too much for me to fund for an activity I'm not OK with) and time isn't what we have a lot since we're already planning to explore Taal before going home.


Off to Taal!

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

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
