Black Mirror (Season 4)

It's safe to say that most who watched this had to google if he was in fact Matt Damon with prosthetics. Yes, me included.


It felt  so amazing that they dropped the full season at Netflix on my birthday. I wasn't able to watch it on the day being on another country and all but as soon as I got my bearings, I got through the entire season in about 3 days. I have even finished the series even before I got rid of all my stuff splayed about on my floor.


The overall feel of the entire season was like getting a box of assorted chocolates. Of all the seasons, 4 was more diverse and even though they show you that all of the anthologies were all part of the same universe, it couldn't even be more different.


In this season, my most favorite would have to be USS Callister and the least is Metalhead.  Don't get me wrong, Metalhead is still watchable but I didn't have the slightest empathy for the character regardless of what they made of the ending. The tone and color of the episode was impressive but the plot was always BM's strong suit. I couldn't care less how artistic their cinematography is. Also to take note S4 is easier to watch than S3 which took me a much longer time to finish because it was horribly relatable. Next favorites are Crocodile - simple and more Twilight Zone-like and of course, Black Museum. To me it's a version of the Christmas Special and the only way to wrap a season.


What I do hate right now is how they've suddenly gained popularity. Don't get me wrong I'd rather have the show renewed because of it but I hated how in the Philippines' subreddit everyone is practically name dropping BM on all circumstances like as if it's something cool to be known that you watch. I hate how at the slightest anecdote it had to be BM just for the sake of, it doesn't even make sense anymore. Argh! Monkey needs a hug!

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...
