The Hobbyt: Loz Blocks

-




So NBS had a 70% off sale and what I got were not books but a set of minis I have never heard before. I don't have any collection of such but it's my go to gift for Reagan in the form of Nanoblocks. I am not a fan of landmark kits but I do have some affinity with miniatures especially if it involves some tiny houses. This though were in the form of shops and I love it just the same that I had to buy the entire set (there are four of them) in one go. 




The sets are easy but it's challenging to assemble. The quality is not perfect that most blocks are hard to push in on each other or remove when needed. I have issues most times at the ceiling (my most hated was the wedding dress shop) when it cracks in the middle and I have to revisit the steps to correct it. 




The kits come in bags of pieces and a manual. They also have a few random extras and this small gray device that aids you in removing some blocks that are pressed with each other. The manual is easy to follow and most of my mistakes are entirely my fault. I do not have a system in making it, all that mattered to me was I followed the instructions.

On my research there's another set of Street Mini in 5 boxes (includes a bookshop and a pet store) but unfortunately I have no idea where to buy them. I am not so sure in transacting at the official online shop I found nor any other shops that looked like they're selling them. I am half convinced to just find it on a physical store overseas, but Loz is not that popular to be easy to find. It would have been great if I can complete all 10 even if I don't get the other set of "branded shops". What's funny is I found more blocks that were all pirated versions of Lego. I don't find it interesting other than this so hopefully I get to complete the rest of the kits for the Mini Street collection. It would be amazing to get all those shops on my non existing shelf.

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...
