NSO ONLINE APPLICATION...BREEZY USING GLOBE G-CASH

It's the time of the year again when i have lots of idle time.  So to make use of the available time and turn it to productive ones, i'm thinking of renewing my expired ID's and to do so first i need to request NSO birth certificate.  The last one i requested was way back 2007 which i used to apply for passport to HongKong.

I know, it's been quite some time!!! :P

So i went to their website to get birth certificate.  
You can click on the link to get to their website to file an application for Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Death Certificate and CENOMAR.

Online Application Starts Here

After filling-up the application form, you can save it and proceed on the next step, paying for the application.

You can either choose online or offline payment.  Online payments being the most easiest since you can pay with just few clicks.  I choosed G-Cash since it's the easiest available mode of payment for me.  Upon sending the number of my G-Cash on the slot provided, i have received text message to confirm sending of payment.  

Confirmation of payment was also sent to my e-mail once done and all i have to do is wait 2 to 3 days for delivery.

XEND EXPRESS EPIC FAIL...AGAIN!

And so I am a irate customer right now.  Quite pissed off to be honest.  I've used Xend express for quite long time, apart from very bad experience that i've encountered before everything is going well until this. AGAIN.

XEND EPIC FAIL 1

Around first week of August, we have sent 6 blankets in a plastic stripes packaging bound with tapes to compact items to minimize the bulkiness.

That costs PHP 820 and so the package seems overcharged considering average weight is less than 6 kilograms.

Last July 23 we have sent 6 blankets to the same address and was only billed PHP 580, quite a huge disparity. Each blanket actually weighs less than a kilo ( around 1/2 for single size blanket and 3/4 of a kilo for double size ones).

 Sometime last week I complained thru their resolution center of this.  
After sending the proof and all communications done thru e-mails.  I have received call earlier today saying the volumetric weight of the package that LBC has charged them is of 10 kilos.  That the actual volumetric weight of package is 11 kilos! This photo says otherwise

And would be entitled to refund of only PHP 80 for the 1 kilo discrepancy.  I say what the HECK!  Not to mention that buyer said 1 blanket has gone missing so i refunded her for that,  dunno how it was lost, tragic transaction indeed.

And so we have opted to send use JRS to send bulky package the next time around.  This package contains 5 blankets and was only billed around PHP 250.  What a relief!  I have refunded the excess postage cost billed to my client because of that.

 As of now, i'm asking them of proof that LBC has in fact billed them for 10 kilos.  

TO BE UPDATED...

LESSON LEARNED: NEVER USE XEND EXPRESS FOR BULKY PACKAGES

WTH!

It was just last night since the semis ended.  

Sadly the team I was rooting for lost the ticket to the finals.   

So that was it, I was saddened but positive that time will come for the Kings to #ReclaimTheThrone as die-hard fans hash tags on twitter say.   

But today is different, I was pissed.  Not because my team lost.  It was how somebody reacted to my tweet.  It was truly shallow but I cannot help but react, wanting to vent.  So what the heck!

How my love for the team starts. 

I have been watching basketball since I was a child, maybe not the PBA but the local inter-barangay teams playing. Interest grows in highschool. It was in late high-school and college when I was able to get to know the PBA teams. As far as I can remember, it was cheering for Purefoods then, Alvin Patrimonio being my favorite, humble and great player.  Of course I also enjoyed watching, the eye-candy, Richie Ticzon.  My sisters was already cheering for Ginebra at that time, crushing on Vince Hizon, yihee!!! (dear sisters, just this shows the age you are now at, peace!) And Big J was already playing and coaching at that time.  Sundays was mostly our bonding time where we would spend watching PBA on television.  Mirienda time spent with pandesal and ice cream or hot noodles. But that was it, clean fun and entertainment.

Then there comes, Rudy freaking Hatfield!  And i was mesmerized.  Yup i'm self-confessed fan-addict of the H-Bomb.  Who would not be...i was sold by the eyes...damn! I'd cut-out articles and photo as hang it out on my bed side. My teenage giggling self is indeed guilty of chasing and cheering the team he's with. From Tanduay to Coca Cola.  And not until late 2012, i have renewed my passion for watching the ball, it has been some time off that i barely know the players.  Of course the magnet that takes me back to the game is my all-time favorite, Rudy Hatfield, who was back playing for Barangay Ginebra San Miguel. And yeah he's now married with kids! Indeed a long period of time has passed.  But still all praises to H-BOMB, he is not just good looking. Loving his personality - great heart - passion, dedication, hard-work along with the goofiness and all. Thanks to the onset of the social media, we get to have step closer to our favorites. Now i'm deeply sold. It was kinda heart breaking when news break out that he's retiring.  I indeed felt so much older, why, my favorite cager is now retiring! :) So at this point, lemme pay tribute to my basketball King...would he be in WWE if he did not become professional basketball player? LOL

We miss the hustle but we are forever thankful.

Trivia: Rudy Hatfield was hailed as the newest member of the 2,000 defensive rebounds club, July 2012.

Love the WWE antics on interview, goofiness overload

 

New blood

After the end of 2013 Commissioner's Cup came the never-ending trade begins. It was somewhat heartbreaking, but the team needs a re-haul after the heart breaking finals sweep by Alaska. It was indeed a journey by Ginebra Kings, after being the seventh seed, we kicked ROS in eliminations, battled TNT for the semis and entered the Finals wounded.  Needless to say, we've been to war to enter the finals, players and import are now injured or not 100% well. If the Kings won that game, it could be the perfect basketball movie plot that would make box-office records, considering the huge fan base the team has, imagine the record breaking attendance for every big game that Ginebra plays.  After the Governors Cup, the draft was held, November of 2013 at Robinsons Ermita. Out of curiosity, i joined the mammoth crowd and was star-strucked.

Halloween, Moon+ Reader, Book Review, All-in-One

Hay Halloween Everyone! Darn I miss blogging...it's indeed been a while netizens, dear readers hihi...if only I'm working fulltime as blogger pouring all my thoughts and rants and pI have ns, i'd gladly do it everyday!  It has been a long day and I wish I'm actually joining the mammoth crowd out there or perhaps enjoying the long weekend. Thanks to typhoon 'Vinta', we set aside all the plans of going back to the province. Now can't wait for Christmas vacation...yep, counting the days!!!

Long have I planned on actually doing some book review...not full-on but just to share some hints and flaws, misses and wishes. Thanks to technology, reading can now be done on tablets, smart phones, e-reader and a lot more. Reading can be done thru the aid of apps which you can download at the Play Store.  On the toss on what has been a good reading companion that I have used, so far I have stayed on Moon+ Reader.  The first one that I downloaded for computer is Calibre and I like the feature where I can convert the files to another format. But since it's easier to read on smartphone and tablet, I further shift to use Aldiko but then I find the features is a bit plain on free version. That paved the way to Moon+ Reader, but then again I use the free version. Well I do believe the best things in life are free...don't you dare disagree this is my corner and I have all the say! Just kidding peepz
I find the free version good because I can change the background and themes and the fonts. That's a very good point in my opinion.





Moving on...




My first stop, A Little Bit of Crazy by Alexandra Murphy.  The things that i love on this novel os the flawed characters, funny and did i mention somewhat crazy characters?!?! Nonetheless,
i have learned to appreciate and understand Maya and James as the story progressed.  Set in somewhat a koreanovela plot, with all the parents arranged weddings...well it was actually Maya's fathers wish...err death wish since he's diagnosed with cancer and left with a month to live.  Maya was raised by her father alone

NEO OMNIPAD REVIEW

I have gotten myself a Neo Omnipad, just the other day, as an advance birthday present to myself, yeah rewards works on me...oftentimes when I'm feeling down. Of course shopping is the best therapy not that I shop everyday :P You gotta admit it's effective, right??

Oh well, I almost give up on this device a day ago.  Hmmmn...wanna know why?

With all its features, it is indeed a good buy and I have to mention that it's on sale on TechHead Systems at SM San Lazaro. So I got the tablet at PHP 5995 as this is normally sold at PHP 6500 to 7000. It has been a while since i start scouting for 'good' tablet. With all the different tablets at the market.  So I indulge myself surfing for reviews and specs. I did not see this tablet online, only happen to see it while walking at cyberzone. I checked the features. It equipped with WiFi and 3G. With text and call capability. Android jellybean. Front and back camera. Bluetooth and among other specs. So basically not bad for its price.

When I got home I immediately inserted the smartbro prepaid sim that I have enrolled to unlisurf for unlimited data connection. And to my dismay it does not work. Probably there's a need to change the sim configurations for browsing.  Since I don't have WiFi or line internet connection, I have considered buying a 3g to WiFi converter.  By searching, it shows I can get one from CDR king. Or the one from cherry mobile (M1).  But then I'm running tight on budget so I think it over for another day.  Good thing I remember from searching sites the word tethering. And by using my Cherry Mobile Flare I was able to get WiFi signal thru smartphone tethering the device to portable WIFI.  Basically I used my smartbro prepaid sim
enrolled in unlisurf then thru settings i opened WiFi on mobile phone tick tethering and turn device to portable Wifi hotspot.  Then turn on the WiFi on my tablet and connect using my mobile hotspot.
Now I can breathe coz I can now surf the internet using my tablet. And i'm loving the printscreen button.  Hope this helps!


PS: I have recently bumped to NEO website and they have tips on 3G configuration setting, check it out using this link or see as below

 3G Internet Configuration

Please be reminded that the settings for 3G internet connection varies per network provider and location matters a lot when it comes to 3G connection as there really are places with dead or poor signal. For your information, below are some guidelines when setting up 3G Internet:

• The Data Connection must be enabled. This can be set by going to the “Settings” and then “Data Connection”.
• Access Point Names (APN) must be set correctly depending on mobile network. APN settings can be accessed by going to “Settings” -> “More…” -> “Mobile Networks” -> “Access Point Names”.
  • For Sun Cellular Network, there is no need to change the settings.
  • For Smart Network, below are the necessary steps:
    • “Smart Internet” must be checked/selected by pressing the “bullet-type” button.
    • Press “Smart Internet” to access the APN Settings.
    • Remove/Clear the IP address under the “Proxy” setting.
    • Remove/Clear the numbers under the “Port” setting.
  • For Globe:
    • If the line is Postpaid, set the “APN” to “internet.globe.com.ph”
    • If the line is Prepaid, set the “APN” to “http.globe.com.ph”

JUMPING SHIP TO 'I MISS YOU'

Yoon Eun-Hye (Lie to Me) is coming back to the small screen together with Park Yoo Chun. Their pair up does not cause a buzz to me. Coming from the last year's 'Lie to Me' which by far has not stood up to viewers in Korea but so far it was able to grab the hearts of Filipinos as recently concluded Tagalized version has been a hit. I'd say i was satisfied with Yoo Chun's acting on Rooftop Prince, well we cannot deny the fact that he looks good in hanbok. And i really enjoyed the humor on that show but still that was not enough to caught my interest. Until i have read the recent Allkpop post that there'll be cutie overload who's joining the two, no other than Chun Jung Myung.  Oh heck drama, come hell and high water i'm jumping ship to watch this show and i'd be rooting for the second lead!

Transfer to G-cash Denied

Ouch!!! so much of a trouble created as transfers made to my g-cash are reported as failed by my buyers. Lost in translation is the name of the game as the old way of transferring g-cash is now out. I dunno how to explain to them how to use the method i know since we are communicating thru sms only. Just wondering why they were able to transfer to other accounts but not mine and why in the world was i able to receive 1 transfer yesterday and yet most of them said transaction is denied. So i am sharing the means that i used to transfer g-cash to my sister in the province. Just a warning, there's incident whereas the transaction reference number that i have received is different from the ones that recipient received, quite odd - must be the system is not polished and it may cause delay if you're sending to another account whom you do not know. Just make sure you know and trust the one that you're transferring funds to G-CASH TRANSFER USING BPI-GLOBE BANKO (NOTE: i did not register anymore on first use, just outright proceeding to transaction i need to accomplish) On your phone dial *118*1# then you will be prompted to reply. Reply with the number of the transaction that you need to make. For transferring g-cash, click/hit reply - 2 to choose Send Money option. You will be prompted to reply with how much amount to transfer. Then you will be asked to enter the number to whom you'll be sending the fund to. And key in your PIN. Once transfer is complete, you'll receive a text confirmation saying your account was deducted and transfer is complete. Hope this helps!

THERE'S GOTTA BE FAITH!

Oh i can't wait for the next Monday - Tuesday drama 'Faith'. Starring nonetheless the city hunter turned time-traveller warrior Lee Min-Ho. Ei...the 2 trailers are marvelous and i cannot wait for August 13...time move extra faster puhlease!!! The dramas these days are bit lack luster in my opinion, although there's one that i'm streaming at break time, that is Gaksital aka Bridal Mask. I just love the villain turned hero theme, epic kick ass. Hehehe I need more time to stream up and catch up coz i'm only at episode 5 hayyyyy

BIG

 

Yup, i have been in a long hiatus, juggling with full-time work and online selling on the other side. But amidst the busy schedule, i always make sure of having a dose of K-dramas alongside, guess that's part of my system. ^.^ What's buzzing so much this days is "BIG", the comeback drama of Gong Yoo (we love him first in Coffee Prince) and Lee Min-Jung (i love her so much in You Smile, awww remembering how i squee aloud like a teeny bopper watching her and Jeong Kyeong-Ho). 

"Big" is a story of a 18 year old boy, Kang Kyung-Joon (Shin Won-ho) trapped inside the body of 30 years old doctor, Seo Yoon-Jae (Gong-Yoo). Da Ran (Lee Min-Jung) happens to be the fiancee of Seo Yoon Jae and teacher of Kang Kyung-Joon. Adding up Jang Mari (Suzy) to the twist. It's currently airing at KBS2, following "Love Rain"...airing every Monday & Tuesday. I'm streaming the episodes online during lunch time at Dramacrazy.

The possibility of the story is endless and i love how it goes that Kyung-Joon grows mature. However i'm kinda feeling sorry for Seo Yoon-Jae that i wanted him to come back alive and prove something to Da-Ran.  Instances may point that he cheated on her but we really don't know the full story because it's only showing bits and pieces.  So i can't help but wonder how many episodes will it take before the souls get back together with respective bodies ei!!!

TO MARINDUQUE VIA CAWIT PORT

I just wanna share photos taken last April 5.  Holy Week is the perfect time to go back to our beloved province, Marinduque.  Although, if you want a convenient travel at this period of time, i'd suggest taking the airplane but if you're into sight-seeing the best way to go is thru RORO ships.  There are actually 3 ports, Balanacan Port (Mogpog), Cawit Port (Boac) or Buyabod Port (Sta. Cruz). How i wish the port at our place (Gasan Port) is big enough to accomodate big ships.  But if you're coming from Mindoro, you can take the motorized boats going to Gasan Port to go to Marinduque.

I missed you Sam Dong and i heard you're having cameo on Dream High 2. Hwaiting!! I've read recaps and it's oh so promising but i don't have the time to stream it yet so i think i'm gonna wait for the dvd copy and do the marathon...dang sleepless nights watching koreanovelas and US TV series. Who's guilty???? :)
