PRC ID Renewal for Teachers

2017-12-29T13:51:00.000+08:00

Last December 27, 2017 9:45AM
I successfully renewed my license (Teacher).

Renewing license is easy.

Steps to renew PRC license for Teachers (PIC)
1. Go online. Visit http://www.prc.gov.ph/
Click ID Renewal, choose where you will register, register and make an appointment.

2. Pay at the nearest payment center availabe at your place. After payment, print out the renewal form.

3. Prepare a passport size picture of you (latest one). Prepare all of your CPD's (Seminars, tanscript etc). Prepare the print out and the official receipt of you payment and your old PRC ID.

4. Go to the PRC center where you set an appointment. (Don't worry if the line is too long, there where only few who renew their license).

5. After you pass all the requirements, wait for at least 15-20mins., then after that, your ID is all set.

PRC accomodates huge number of applicant almost everyday - those were filing an exam or some were first timer to get an ID and the rest were asking for some certificates and renewing their ID.

The hardest part is how to be first in the line to make the transaction more faster. In my experience, I woke up early just to get a good number to be atleast first in the line. I went at the PRC Lucena City, Quezon by 5:30AM. I thought I was early but I found out that some of the people around me where there by 1:00AM. The guard started to give out numbers around 6:30AM. I am not first in the line but I was 7th for those who will renew the license. Good thing I wasn't a firstimer, or else I will wait a little longer. By 8:10AM we went inside and started to transact. Since I don't have CPD, it will be my debt that I have to repay after three years, when I renew again. Hopefully I could be able to attend seminars and comply with the CPD.

Around 9:45AM the PRC staff released my new ID.

Online Appointment

to God be the Glory!

Samsung J7 Pro for SMART Plan 399 with freebies

2017-12-19T00:09:00.002+08:00

December 18, 2017

Finally, after five or more attempts, I would like to introduce to you the "Samsung J7 Pro." Though it's not the latest, I'm thankful to have this one. The coolest part is that I am not expecting that the SMART Telecom to release this one today, yet it surprises me. Thank you Lord for this blessing.

This Plan 399 goes with Samsung J7 Pro with a lock in period of 30months. Since its a renewal phone, the 600 pesos cash out will be charged to my bill. A 7 day replacement and a year warranty.

Plan 399 package inclusion were:
1.) 3GB data
2.) Unli text to all networks
3.) 20mins. call to all network

Wait there's more, since its Christmas, SMART together with Samsung is very generous to give away some freebies. I am amazed that SMART representative (Migz) gave me free case holder for the phone and a free powerbank with a 5,000 mAh. Cool right.

SMART Plan 399 Samsung J7 Pro

My first pyment will reflect next year. As of today, I will enjoy my New Samsung J7 Pro, "Capture the night."

By the way a device fee of 600 pesos will be added to the Plan 399. Still cool for me.

If you have questions about the phone, let me know it and I will do my best to help you. Have a good one. Until next time.

SMART Plan 350 - Oplus 8.96 (Third Retention Plan)

2017-11-07T22:40:00.000+08:00

Yes, this was my third retention plan and this post is very late. I got my third phone - O+8.96 last January 24, 2016. Almost two years ago but hey, the good news is I'll be able to avail new phone by next year - January 24, 2018 yipee!

Anyway to complete this post, I was able to use the phone not for a long time. It just so happen that my phone were unable to receive any signal a few months ago, yet my sim card still works. No matter how many times we try to let the phone work, it seems that the phone lost its signal. I got the same case with my Alcatel One Touch Magic. As of to this date, my Alcatel is now working well but the Oplus 8.96 still seems to have a problem. Everything is working well and good, except the signal.

Just to give info about the Oplus 8.96

Photo grab from google images

Screen - 5'
OS - Kitkat
Processor - Quad-core
Camera - 5MP and 2MP
Memory - 4GB internal
Sim slot - Dual sim (smart lock)

I know there were still lot of info you might be looking for, I just wanted to share that my Oplus 8.96 problem with signal still don't work. Also the camera is not that good, even though it is 5MP, my Samsung Galaxy Young 3MP is way better than the former. Over all, I don't regret taking the opportunity to own this phone and continue my partnership with SMART as one of their postpaid subscriber. And to add to it, when I got the Oplus 8.96, my plan was change to Unlimited text to all networks. Not bad at all. It was a good experience to share.

Do you have anything to share?
Problem to solve?
Ask me how and I will try to study and learn it and share it to you soon.

Have a good one and stay awesome.

Me Again

2017-11-05T01:02:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone, it's been a long time since I opened these blog. Anyway, hopefully I will be posting new blogs about new experience and some of the latest trends. I hope some of it helps you in some ways. Have a good one!

An Open Letter to my Team Buddies!

2015-06-21T21:39:00.001+08:00

An Open Letter to my Team Buddies!

Hi Team, its been a while since I enter the production floor and be part of your team. You've been wondering, why all of a sudden I ended up to have this decision. Well, don't get me wrong. I do love the months, days, hours, minutes, and every bit of a second of my stay here. And even though its a generic thing that we often heard it, I may say that, its been a hard decision for me.

Of course I've been thinking about this a hundred times already. And to be honest, because I wanna be transparent with you (spiel I got from Red), every single day that I come to work and being asked if I am to stay or not, I have this idea that, Yes I do love to stay because I really do enjoy it here. But, whenever I am at home, the other part of me wanted to go HOME already.

How long do I experience this concern (spiel from Medz), it was during the time that I am about to hit Abay. So, ever since I've been striving hard to escalate my stay at higher fix agency or back office department (spiel from Rz and Cy), in which I mean my patience is being tested. I also run some health check, which is nothing to do with this article tho', it's kinda catchy anyway and I just recently adapt this spiel this week from Jhiza.

Even though you are not asking, This is actually my second official work. Although I haven't thought of entering this kind of industry before, yet I still did. No regrets at all.

Looking at the bright side, hopefully I am able to share or even add something with the group.

Yes, I do speak less, but I do listen carefully, and sorry if I haven't share my funny side with you.
And I certainly hope I cover everything for you (spiel from K. Joey) to make this open letter somehow let you know the other side of me.

But for the record I am not being too emotional or something as I wrote this (oh wait I know what's at the back of your mind).

Anyway, I am an Introvert. I'm only good at this, writing my thoughts. Most of the time I do have a lot of idea. Well, my mind can think a lot, but my mouth can't speak enough. But if were too close, BEWARE!

Technically speaking I am resigning, but logically, I am just ending my journey at this industry.
Thank you for everything.
T'was an honor to be part of this Team and I will forever cherish this adventure.
Through laughter & tears, doubt & fear (auto in & release), I'm going to keep it at my Pandora's box.

I always wanted to mingle with your group, hang-out and have some fun, for I am one crazy fella' too.
Excited to have my next adventure with all of you (Sama ako kahit saan), I am always one text away.
So, See you, when I see you.

Addtl note: Even though I did not include your name here, it doesn't mean that I haven't learn anything from you. (just explaining, or would you like me to explain at the precint?) haha.

By the way, if you do have time, please do visit my website for more SHO (get to know me more)

A Lifeless Living

2015-06-04T22:52:00.001+08:00

This past few days I feel like I'm living like a zombie.

I live but I seem to be lifeless.

I picture life everyday with what if's.

What's the purpose? What I am worth for? Do I live?

When everything seems to be a big question to me,

I keep on thinking, searching for an answer,

looking for a possible solution, solution that could lead for a better decision.

It's a Yes, You Only Live Once, I mean us, so better live your/our life to fullest.

But I may say, I think it is much better to live our life with/for a purpose.

Purpose? Have you ever ask yourself, what is your purpose of living?

To whom you live for?

Me:

Thinking? nah' screw it.

Working, really huh!

Living, now that is something.

My Next Big Step

2015-03-01T21:11:00.000+08:00

Before you decide you have to think twice and consider a LOT of factors.

Without being said, I did not realize it until its too late. Well realizations come when you suddenly felt the need that some part of you is missing, or there is something that you shouldn't did.

Do I regret it? Question keep bothering me. Part of me says YES, and the other half says No. Its a yes, because for every dull moment I had, my mind tells me "I told you so, but all you have to do now is to think of ways how we could be able to get away from this mess you did, so you won't feel this way again". Well there are days I feel homesick and I just want to go home the soonest I can. I feel that I can't wait for six months to be a regular employee.

The other half says "No, I don't regret it". Yeah, its a fake answer, we usually say it so we won't say that we were wrong with the decision we made. We tell lies, well maybe part of it are true and lets give it the benefit of doubt.

Looking at the bright side, the "No I don't regret it decision", also give me positive response in life. I met new companions, experience things out of my comfort zone, able to see with my bare eyes the real picture of poverty, and I also experience the kind of living when you are just by yourself, And I may say "It's hard that I told myself I don't want to get back at this kind of life again".

I am awake, undecided and willing to take risks. I hope with my next steps I would be able to get what I really wanted.

You, What is your next BIG STEP?

My Healthy Fitter Tips

2014-10-29T15:09:00.004+08:00

My Healthy Fitter Tips.

1. Do not starve. Kumain ka, wag kang magpakagutom. Hindi ibig sabhihn ng hindi mo pagkain ay papayat ka na nyan – worst is baka magka ulcer ka pa.

2. Do not drink carbonated drinks. January 2012 ako tumigil uminom ng softdrinks. Three years narin pala. Most of the time tubig lang ako, lemonade or juice pag meron. Hindi madali, may temptations, pero kinaya ko nga, ikaw pa kaya.

3. Do not smoke. Hindi ako smoker, at ayoko sa usok mo. Bakit mo ba kasi kailangan humithit nyan tapos ibubuga mo pa. Dun kayo mag-smoke sa inyo, wag sa public place. Best option - stop smoking tapos!

4. Exercise. Bumili ako ng jumping rope pero masyado akong nahihilo kakatalon. Buti nalang bumili ng bike yung kapatid ko, nakakaklipad narin ako sa hangin.
Gumawa ka rin ng program para sa exercise mo.

5. Discipline. Dito umiikot ang lahat. Isang interview noon ni Billy Crawford (asa event sya ng triathlon) ang napanood ko na ayon sa kanya ang tanging sekreto nya para maging fit ay DISIPLINA. Medyo matagal siyang nawala noon sa Showtime, kasi talagang lumobo sya at kasalukuyan noong nagpapapayat (2012 or 2013 ata yun).

Sa pagkain ng kanin - nag-simula ako sa two rice, nung feeling ko kaya ko na, nag one and half rice ako, hanggan sa umabot ako sa one rice a meal. Pero half rice di ko pa kaya, stick to one rice nalang muna ako.

Syempre yung goal di yun mawawala.
Ikaw na magset ng sa’yo. Binahagi ko na ang aking way to a fitter citizen of the Philippines. Effective sakin, sana sa’yo din.

Kayang-kayang kaya. Sabi nga, kung gusto may paraan. Kung ayaw - - - ay di huwag! hihi :)

Kung nakatulong sayo sana ibahagi mo din sa iba.

Day 19 Thursday ngayon at puro throwback, kaya isa sa mga hilig kong gawin ang aking ibinahagi.

DAY 19: Writing is a way to express our thoughts and feelings. Ako, na-inspire ako magsulat nuong nasa sekondarya palang ako, nuong nabasa ko ang mga lathala sa Andamyo Tomo Blg. 3; Hunyo 2003. Habang nag-babasa ako nuon, naisip kong maging isang manunulat din gaya nila at nangagarap na minsan ay maging inspirasyon din sa bawat makakabasa ng aking likha. Sharing is a gift, kaya ibabahagi ko ang isa sa mga una kong naisulat. Ito ay nailathala noong August 2011 of Andamyo Volume 10. My Alma Matters official publication ng mga tula, sanaysay at maikling kwento. "Looking back, Moving forward". #healthierPH #healthishappening #day19 Unilab Foundation

Day 20 Maulang umaga, everything has a purpose talaga. Kahit madalas ayaw nila sa'yo, ako gusto parin kita. At sino ba namang hindi mapapasayaw sa ULA...AA..AAN,

DAY 20: Rain. According to Patty Peoples - A Negative ion are tasteless, odorless and invisible molecules that we inhale when we are in environment that contains moving water like rain. Once it reaches our bloodstream, they are believed to produced biochemical reactions that help to relieve stress, alleviate depression and even boost energy. Kaya pala masarap maligo sa ulan #olddays. Appreciating His creation, a blessing from up above. #healthierPH #healthishappening #day20 Unilab Foundation

Day 21 John Lloyd Cruz as Ronald on The Trial. Walang teaser dito, panuorin nyo.. Pero ganito ang nangyari si Ma'm Bessy (Jessy Mendiola) teacher at tutor sya ni Ronald (spoiler,, haha) panuodin nyu na!

DAY 21: Movie Theraphy. According to what I read, therapist recommend movies to help change the way we think and feel. Well, according to me, watching movies are exciting, thrilling, bonding time, stress reliever, motivator, inspiration and a lot more. We can learn and re-learn things. And at the end of the day, after all the hard works, at least treat ourself. A rewarding movie for us! #dimlight #lastfullshow #healthierPH #healthishappening #day21 Unilab Foundation

Afte Day 21,I posted my #healthishappening album to the Unilab's Page wall.

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!

My First bought books

2014-03-26T16:19:00.000+08:00

All at Once.

Yey! At last I bought these two books. At first I’m just looking for “Para sa Hopeless Romantic” book in every shelves at National Book Store – Lucena City. Natingnan ko na ang halos lahat ng shelves at halos mawalan nako ng pag-asa, sabi kasi sa post nato’eh available na daw ang books ni Marcelo sa lahat ng bookstore kaya nagbakasakali ako, buti nalang natanong ko dun sa isang staff, ang sabi nya “Para sa Hopeless Romantic, uo meron kami at meron pa ngang kasunod na libro yan eh, ung Para sa Broken Hearted kukunin mo narin ba”. Sakto, para akong nanalo sa lotto, ung parang nag BINGO ako. Ang saya lang. Paglabas ko ng Store sobrang abot tenga talaga ngiti ko, pero syempre diko masyadong pinahalata, baka naman sabihin ng mga kasalubong ko, ay parang sira? Hay! Pagkatapos ko mabili ang dalwang book natatawa nalang akong isipin na mas inuna ko itong bilhin kesa sa reviewer na kakailanganin ko para sa aking exam. Pero wala parin akong bahid ng pagsisisi.

Ayan magbabasa nako..

MY FIRST BOUGHT BOOKS.

Waiting for the third book.

SMART Plan 350 - Alcatel One Touch Magic (Second Retention Plan)

2014-02-04T10:21:00.001+08:00

I got Alcatel One Touch Magic.

It was January 23, 2012 when I got my Samsung Galaxy Young Phone. And after TWO (2) years this January 23, 2014, I finally finished my postpaid contract with SMART. But I decided to avail their retention plan.

The retention plan offered was a 24mos. MSF rebate up to 35% or a new phone. I decided to avail the latter. They offered me a variety of low-end, cheap, yet user friendly and can cope up with the technology phones like O+, Lenovo & Alcatel (actually I’m really up to Acer Z2 – it was one of the choices on their website, and I’m also wondering why they don’t offer me a Samsung phone – I also want the Samsung Chat). In the end, when I visited the SMART store, I got the chance to test Alcatel One Touch Magic.

Inside the box (with free back cover)

I simply like its style and I think this could be the best choice.

And to give you a good view with this, here are some major features I think you wanted to know.

Alcatel One Touch Magic

It runs a 4.2.1 Jelly bean Operating System

It’s processor is 1.3 GHz & a Dual Core

Its memory is a 4GB Internal Memory (but as always, it’s only a 2GB when I check it)

The screen size is 4” wide with 3capacitive buttons in front, 1 on/off button at the top & volume rocker at the right side of the phone.

Rear Camera is 5MP & front is VGA

If I’m not mistaken it was released last September 2013 & the prize range of this phone as of this day I post this is amounting to Php 4,100 (according to SMART Store).

To sum up, I started to love this phone.

And one more thing is, if you had anything to ask, feel free to do so, just post-in your comments & concerns and we will discover it together.

4" Screen size

And Oh did I forgot to mention, It took SMART two months before they release the phone because that time, Galaxy Young was the cheapest yet coolest android phone that’s why it was out of stock that time when I applied for it. It was November 24, 2011. And here they go again; Alcatel One Touch Magic is also out of stock up to date that I applied for this retention plan. But it’s worth waiting. I’m telling you, everything really comes at right place and at the right time.

It’s February 3, 2014 at about 6:30PM when,

I got Alcatel One Touch Magic.

UPDATE: SMART Retention Plan - 3rd retention (Oplus 8.96)

When Boredom Strikes

2013-06-08T22:22:00.001+08:00

When boredom strikes, I usually do some stuff which is not i usually do. I sing out of tune with a big voice and it was fun. Sometimes I stare to nowhere thinking for something, dreaming of something, believing on something. There are times I am too serious, seriously thinking that eventually caught my friends attention. It's not really my intention but they laugh at me most of the time.

When boredom strikes I play a music. Playing first my favorite song then shuffle until my battery has gone empty. Then I will grab my phone check my pet "yapouro" - a poo that poop. I enjoy playing her. She looks funny.

When boredom strikes I browse the internet searching for a good gadget. Looking for Iphone, Samsung Phones & tab, Sony Experia phones, Digicams, DSLR Cameras, Videocam with projector and a lot more to enumerate. I usually look after their pros & cons, reading news & blog, comparing their prizes, Specs, OS, brand, availability. I also love watching videos on youtube and see how awesome it is and a lot more. I love looking at them. There are times that I just browse their images. Sometimes I visit Sulit.com for the prize.

Of course I am not that "KJ" I also use social media sites like facebook, twitter, tumbler, plurk, youtube, gmail and etc. I am not that Internet savvy, but I am an internet worm (I mean a bookworm - I just don't know the term). I read news at yahoo, on google I read some helpful things for me to fix some things I use and do, and other things that involves my daily living, I watch MV, tips and tutorial on youtube, I create some videos, I also check & listen to the latest songs, and a lot more. And before I forgot I download movies too and some tools that might help me at work.

And lastly, When boredom strikes, I write what's on my mind, what I am going through, what I want to express and what I am. I write poems, blog and short reviews. I also trying to write a song and try to put a tune on it, but still I'm working on it.

But for now I live life to the fullest and what the song says "this is me this is real, I know exactly where I am supposed to be now gonna let the light shine on me". So this is my time to shine..
WHEN BOREDOM STRIKES!

Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 WIFI

2013-05-05T14:52:00.000+08:00

Technology really learns from itself. Almost every day it changes, it develops and it never stops. Samsung is one of the leading brands here in the Philippines. One of the gadgets I'm using is Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 (much improve and has a newer version of OS than the first release of Tab 8.9), another addition to Samsung’s collection of tabs.

This was written on the box:

Galaxy Tab 8.9 delivers faster performance, smoother, multitasking, and richer multimedia. A thinner, lighter device with 8.9” screen promises better mobility. Customized live screen, multitasking applications (Mini Apps), efficient document editing and easy emailing boosts your productivity. Get more possibilities on the go.

It was true indeed. This Samsung galaxy Tab 8.9 is really that thin and easy to carry, much wider screen than Tab 7.0 and much smaller than Tab 10.1. A user friendly, can be used as E-book, use for assignments, games, search, type, save and etc.

Screen: 8.9” WXGA (1280 x 800) TFT

Camera: 3MP AF Camera + 2MP VT , (autofocus, Led flash)

Processor: Dual Core 1 GHz

Battery: 6100mAh

16GB Internal Memory

1GB RAM 722 ROM

What’s inside the box:

Overall, I love it - light, thin, has a Led flash, easy to carry, easy to handle, perfect screen size for me.

Thank God for this blessing.

Forgive or Forget

2013-03-21T13:26:00.000+08:00

People usually confess their sins to someone

Making their self believe that their sins will be forgiven

If they prayed something that just came out from their mouth, not from their heart.

Actually, I don’t want to care about them,

But I have to.

For every person I encounter,

that does not know,

what was the real meaning of salvation, is my responsibility.

Yes! Responsibility because it’s my duty,

It’s one of the reasons why I live.

This thing really bothers me and makes me worried about them.

They don’t know their worshiping and glorifying the wrong one,

They doesn’t know there is a real God,

Worthy of our praise and to be adore.

What does a stone really do? Nothing, they do nothing.

God,

People just only know His name.

People only know He exists.

People only know HIM.

And I’m afraid to say,

He is always forgotten.

People always worship their selves,

Think for their selves,

Position their self at the center of their life.

And God? Who is He?

Ah! The one who created the heaven and earth,

Give us life and blessings.

Sadly, some people just end on this.

But thank God there are still

who don’t just end their, but they also

Worship God, has a relationship with Him,

Thankful in anyway that happen, will happen and happening in their life,

May it be a big or small one,

and always gives back all the praises to God.

Isn’t it much better to ask forgiveness to Him directly,

Just be sincere. Let it out straight from our heart.

He really knows the desires of our heart.

We may not even speak it out loud,

But He does hear it clearly.

I did not write this to persecute you.

I write this to enlighten you.

Hopefully and I will assume

One day when you wake up

You will realize

How great is our God.

Mall, isang malaking aquarium

2013-02-22T11:17:00.002+08:00

Mall, isang malaking aquarium na kayang mag-occupy ng ilan libong isda. Isdang sumisisid, paparon at paparito, walang specific na direksyon. Minsan may makaksalubong pang kakilala, magbebeso, magtatawanan, konting kwentuhan at ilang saglit pa ay magpapaalam na. Muling lalangoy at papasok sa isang coral reef. Coral reef na naglalako ng ibat-ibang uri ng halaman oh pagkain para sa mga isdang sabik sa bagong bagay oh mga usong bagay at uhaw sa pagkaing muling matitikman.

May mga isda namang ginagawa ng Park ang lugar na ito. Ginagawa na nilang hobby ang pikikipag sayaw sa ibang isdang nga-ngayon palang nila nakita, naka-ututang dila, at nakadaupang palad na animoy matagal ng nagkasalubong sa mababaw na tubig ng aquarium.

Nang minsan naglangoy ako sa aquarium na ito, napagmasdan ko rin ang ibat-bang uri ng isda sa pagligid ko. May mga isdang matataba, na minsan mukhang hirap na rin sa paglangoy, salamat nalamang at may gumagalaw na alon para magtangay sa kanila pataas man oh pababa. Meron ding isdang payat na parang hindi na nga kumakain pero wag mo ismolin at meron syang magandang gadget, tats screen ba! Kaya pag kumakain malamig nalamang ang pagkain sa kakatadtad ng litrato – kaya siguro payat?

May mga grupo din ng isdang magkakasabay lumangoy, halos magkakamukha na nga sila eh, magkakabarkada siguro tong mga isdang to’. Meron din namang nagsosolo lang, parang loner na isda. May mga isdang animo’y may inaantay, may inaabangan, yung iba tamang tingin lang sa isda (gaya ko haha!) pero yung tingin naman nila ay iba sa pagtingin ko, parang may malisya yung tingin nila?

May mga isda ring nakikisagap ng signal na kung tawagin nila ay Weeefiii, sosyal ano? nakakapagtsimisan at nakikitsismis sila sa ibang isda sa labas ng aquarium sa bagay oh app na kung tawagin nila ay fishbook, twishter, fishtagram, fishykpe at kung ano-ano pa. Hi-tech na talaga panahon ngayon. Pero di papakabog ang mga senior citizen na isda. Madalas din sila maglangoy sa aquarium kasama ang kanilang irog. Meron ding mga batang isda, pero mas madalas ko silang makita sa laruang coral reef ansaya nila habang inuubos ang kwarta ng mga magulang nila (at least nag-eenjoy). At syempre hindi mawawala ang mga isdang nagaabyad sa kani-kanilang customer. Mga nakapostura at sadyang kagalang-galang. Ilan lang yan sa mga napagmasdan ko. Sabihin mo ng mapanghusga ako pero sinasabi ko lang ang nakikita ko.

Mall, isang malaking aquarium na kayang mag-occupy ng ilan libong isda.

SMART Plan 350

2013-02-12T18:22:00.003+08:00

Every year SMART gives a variety of phone to choose from –Plan 350 promo. I just saw this TV ad and there I was eager to get one soon. I started my first postpaid plan at SMART. I have this plan one year and one month ago. The Unit I got was Samsung Galaxy Y (Young) which is very popular at that time – but that’s not my reason why I get this plan. The plan comes up with Unli text Smart/TNT-Smart/TNT and Unli Social (which you can use through SMARTNET – it is pre-installed as I got my phone). If you want to know more how to use the Unli Social you can check this out – SMARTNET.

If you want to apply a postpaid plan 350 at SMART and if you want to know the list of requirements I think I can help you. Requirements are still the same even the phone offered was new.

First – You have to fill up a form (SMART provides this one)

Second – Proof of Identity (ID must be valid – must have your picture, date of birth, signature) like SSS, TIN ID/Voter’s ID/PRC ID

Third – You have two options here – you may submit any of the two:

Option 1 Proof of Billing& Proof of Income (any of the two A or B)

A.) Proof of Billing - Utility Bill/Bank Statement//Credit Card Statement

B.) Proof of Income – Certificate of Employment/Latest one month pay slip/Credit card statements);

Option 2 Competitor Bill (must be current, no overdue and at least 6 months upon application)

Fourth – Your Self (Authorization letter is needed if your not available to pick up the phone)

By the way you can access you account through their website my.Smart. But you have to sign up first - much better if you used the number in your SIM card when you sign up to make the process much faster –just a tip. What is the benefit of this? Well In my case I enrolled my account in e.statement which they will not send letters (my bills) to me but instead I will received an email from them (I want to save the trees that’s why I choose to enroll my account at e-statement) and I can also see my bill on their site – but if your account is past due they will send you a letter. You can also see your running balance, your smart reward points and their new phone and plans offer.

Now, I’m still enjoying my phone and my plan.

SMART live more!

UPDATE: For being loyal I got the chance to avail SMART Retention Plan.

Glory to God

Sweet Cat or NOT

2013-02-08T18:51:00.003+08:00

I saw this big cat biting the smaller one, but as I grab my phone to capture some video this was what happened, the big cat licks the smaller cat but suddenly the smaller cat hurriedly escapes from big cats hands. What a cat :)

Alcatel One Touch Glory 2

2013-02-08T08:34:00.000+08:00

Are you familiar on Alcatel One Touch Glory 2? Well I happened to have one from my SUN Plan 350. Yes It is a new offer from SUN Cellular. At first the Alcatel One Touch Glory X918N was my preferred phone but the SUN Cellular staff offered me this phone (Alcatel One Touch Glory 2) and I just love it, because of the specs, its new feature, looks and its OS. So I decided to have the latter. By the way I just applied the Plan for 2days because on my first day I was lack on requirements so I had to get back the next day and tadah! I just grab this new phone in just couple of minutes after I passed the last requirement they were asking. If you also wanted to apply for this Plan (SUN Cellular Plan 350 – Postpaid plan comes with Unlimited Call and Text on Sun to Sun and 250 text to other networks, any excess will be billed on top of the Plan). Incase you want to know about the Plan, I will give you the list of requirements:

1. Form to be filled-up (SUN Shop provides this one)

2. Photocopy of your ID (You also have to present your original ID-just for verification)

SSS/GSIS ID/TIN ID/Company ID/Driver’s License/COMELEC ID/PRC ID/Locally issued Major Credit Card (just be sure your ID is valid for your proof of identity)

3. Two Options

Option 1

A. Proof of Billing (Utility Bill – must be under your name and they also has a standard on the amount of bill)

B. Proof of Income (Certificate of Employment and pay slip-latest 1month/Credit Card Bill with atleast 25K Credit Limit)

YOU CAN ALSO CHECK OTHER REQUIRMENTS ON THEIR FORMS/BROCHUR
(some of it are the common requirements I sumbitted based on my experience )

Option 2

A. Competitor Bill

4. And the last thing the most important I think is yourself. But in case you're not available, you can make an authorization letter to let others process the application for you.

Overall it was awesome. Nice Specs, OS, Memory, and Not bad camera I cannot ask for more in this 350 budget a month. So what are you waiting for? Love it? Try it.

Yin-Yang in the bucket (you can click the image to see it clearly)

One day I felt the need to go out of our house (outside) to look around, play with our dogs and cats when i suddenly found out this “Yin-Yang” I mean the “Cats” sleeping inside the kfc’s bucket. It was a good place to sleep in the cold breeze outside our house. I found them cute in it so i took some of their photo’s and suddenly woke them up. lol ^^,

How to Reverse a Video

2013-01-22T17:30:00.001+08:00

If you want to know -
how to reverse a video? or
how to make the video starts from last and move backwards?
Well this might be the answer to your question.

Video Time Reversal (VTR)

1. Download
2. Run

How to Use:

1. Launch VTR
2. Click the folder with a green arrow going up
3. Choose a video/s you want to reverse
4. Click the reverse button (green arrows turning around)
5. A folder will pop out asking you to save the file (save it wherever you want)
6. Then wait until its done!

You could also find a settings button where you can choose on what type of video you would like to produce and the Red X button where you can stop the process of reversing the video.

On my opinion, VTR is a friendly user. It's easy to use and understood.
So here it is, give yourself a try.

Below are the sample video that i reversed. I hope you enjoy it too.

People are People!

2013-01-12T13:18:00.001+08:00

People are people they tend you a lot of stuff telling you that you’ve done a mistake. And the best part of it is yelling it on crowd, some laughs but I don’t. Am I affected? Yes I am, but I don’t let it get over me. I just let her do what ever she wanted to do, tell what ever she wanted too. Who care’s, that’s why I never listen at her. She doesn’t even have to care of what would be the consequences that I’ve done, it’s none of her business. Besides she has a lot of bad stuff too, but I don’t yell it nor laugh at it.

There is no perfect person, but feeling that they are a somewhat perfect, I think there is. Lately I was so mad; it kept on my mind that I have to do something about it. I must say a reply to say bad things at her so that I would feel better; I have to get my revenge whatever it takes. But I did not, I told myself to calm down, take it easy, all is well. Bad stuff won’t correct another bad stuff. I asked Him, please make my heart clean, take away this hatred in my heart and after I wrote this I feel ok again (because I let it out – what I feel in writing and also because I know someone is guiding me).

But there is a question keep coming on my mind. Why there are people like them, does what they did makes them a superior one, does laughing make you cool. Well I can never blame them for People are people!

That was my day today. How bout yours?

And here I go again.

I can’t help thinking of it, I can’t tell it to anyone and it’s so hard. I don’t want also to write it but I have to, I don’t want to keep this thing in my mind all over and over again. I lost a lot of my brain cells and I don’t want to loose more. You might ask what is that I am thinking, here it is:

I would just want to know why people/s rules my life/our life. Don’t they have their own lives to rule with? And would they stop ruling our life for their just ruining it. Don’t they see us in good times and always looking after the bad times? I hate it when people told me what to do in this, in that and etc. but them, they can’t even do this and do that. So perfectionist but even them are not perfect and so do I. What’s wrong with them? Can’t they just say, Oh your wrong better do this next time much better and don’t hesitate to ask and I will surely help and don’t worry no one’s perfect in this world. In spite what they say? They will tell a lot of things and blah blah blah about this and that and next time if you did this again you will be punished of lifetime imprisonment with us haha, just kidding, silly me. But can’t they just accept on what we are? Is it wrong to commit mistake? If it is so, then be perfect all of your life and never ask for help, your perfect right you can do anything perfectly. They might also say, you’ve done a lot of mistake and this time is intolerable so better watch out. Why is that so? Isn’t it imbalance to say something like that? What about the good things we have done, don’t they count it too? They always demerit us for bad stuff we’ve done, but what about the good stuff. Are they really people. They only see the wrong things in us but in fact can’t see what’s wrong with them. We’re not a toy that you could play around whenever you wanted too. In fact you could buy one on toy Kingdom.

(I’m speaking for people whose life are being ruined – I mean ruled by)

I know sometimes or most of the time we done mistake and some stuff which is not good, we understand that you’re mad, but understand also that were hurt. You’re just a person too; you also have your own mistakes too. And let me correct you, your not the boss of my life, none of us are the boss of anyone’s life. But I know someone who really or I may say your boss and my boss.

Our Boss is a Jewish Carpenter.

MR. RIGHT

2012-12-07T12:31:00.000+08:00

Are you Mr. Right?

Because I've been looking for you since the day I knew that there were you. What took you so long? Don’t you know that I need you? In my sorrow & pain, I want you to be right by my side, I needed a shoulder to lean on. Whenever I am happy, I want to celebrate my good times with you. You are the only one I’m wishing for. For I have everything except you!

If I asked you, if you had anything wanted to ask, would you ask me out? To watch movie together, go to park, have dinner, or have a coffee. Don’t worry, If you treat me I won’t abuse you, I will treat you too. If I asked you how many people you encounter this day, can I tell myself that, I am so blessed that you chose me to go out with you. In my tough times, would you dare to carry me whenever I was lazy and so out of my mind? And when I fall, would you catch me? If you say yes, I would be the happiest one you ever know. This happens just once in a lifetime. You know that I Love You and I also knew that you LOVED me before I do. Thank You LORD.

CREDIT CARD

2012-12-05T12:21:00.000+08:00

Excitement, fun and tension that was the feeling when I had my first CC. On my first use of it, I was really nervous for I have the idea of what if my card won’t function well and be decline (but I ready enough cash for in case they don’t accept my card) and there it goes my hand was so cold that time and really feeling the nerves – gees. But it was successful, they accepted my card haha! Even if they suspected me at first, if the card was really mine? Maybe I really look like a kid for them and I was using my parents card – she even constantly check my signature but I can’t blame her it’s her job. It was fun using it but let’s see the fun when the bill comes. After that day, using my cc was that ease but I realized that if I won’t control myself using it I would be in big debt. So I told myself use it on times of need when you assure that you has money to pay for it or in case of emergency and won’t use it on my own sake and lusts.

Over all using credit card was that not bad. But be careful on what you’re swiping for. Remember in each swipe some of it costs interest. So better think twice, If you had cash on hand better use it.
