Green passport renewal at new DFA office – requirements, fees, location map near Mall of Asia
The real goal of this blog entry is to share my personal experience with green passport renewal at DFA while giving my readers some idea of what to expect as they go through the process. But since I feel too exhausted to provide complete details at the moment, I will write about my most notable experiences for now and update with the rest of the information later. 🙂
Early this morning (January 27, 2012) we went to DFA to have my green passport renewed into what we call ePassport or biometric passport. It was a tiring day, only BECAUSE we went to Mall of Asia afterwards to shop for numerous things we need… at 10AM! 😉 We had many things to shop for and so took advantage of the time since we were granted the day off from work and were right there, near a huge mall. The passport renewal application was done nearly 8:38 AM. So, more or less one and a half hour. My appointment was at 7:30AM, by the way. 🙂 (more…)

NSO Birth Certificate – experience, requirements, and payment for online request / application for delivery service (Philippines)
An acquaintance applied for a National Statistics Office (NSO) Birth Certificate delivery service online at their website, and I just wanna share on this blog entry how it went.
Before anything else, this is not an official NSO website, and that everything that is written here is based on someone’s experience as he applied for an NSO birth certificate. So, your own experience with the online application for NSO birth certificate delivery service may or may not be different from what is written here. 🙂
NSO Birth Certificate Delivery Service Requirements
- Online (live chat) or phone call application
- Birth certificate information and other personal information of the birth certificate’s owner (click to jump to info needed)
- Payment for NSO birth certificate after acquiring a reference number
- Valid ID with picture for receiving the birth certificate on the day it’s delivered to you
Cost / Fee / Amount of Payment for NSO Birth Certificate Delivery Service
So, how much does the NSO birth certificate delivery service cost? 330 pesos is charged for each copy of an NSO birth certificate. This already includes delivery charge. Please note that processing is 2 – 3 working days after payment. So it is best to pay soon after getting the reference number.
Now I’ll talk about the experience with NSO’s delivery service. It might give people curious about the process/sytem some idea how it goes.
NSO Birth Certificate Delivery – Options for Application / Request
There are two options: Call 737-1111 or do a live chat with a Customer Care Officer. If you prefer typing over speaking to an NSO representative, I suggest you for the live chat.
Required birth certificate info before the live chat with NSO representative
Before actually chatting with an NSO representative, the applicant was asked for the following info:

Enchanted Kingdom, located in Santa Rosa, Laguna, is a theme park which serves as one of the most favorite destinations in the Philippines.
In this page of my website, Enchanted Kingdom’s info should be completely posted soon including opening and closing hours, schedule for the coming months this year 2012, ticket prices, amount of other fees, directions, contact number, and location map. If possible, I might also post Enchanted Kingdom promo infos.
Disclaimer: And obviously, by looking at the page URL you’ll know that this is not the official Enchanted Kingdom website. 🙂 I’m in no way affiliated with EK, so even though I try my best to keep the info here updated, I might miss a few of their price/schedule change.
I’ve gathered various information about Enchanted Kingdom in this page, so I decided to help you with a navigation menu below.

I was planning to write my own walkthrough that will guide you to the routes of Emi, Hanako, Lilly, Rin, Shizune, andMiisha…but then I searched and found several others, so I’m not sure anymore if it’s worth writing my own walkthrough.

Little Busters! (Visual Novel/Game) Walkthrough / Guide and English Patch Download
So… The game Little Busters just had its English patch last month. (This visual novel’s title is stylized with an exclamation mark at the end, like “Little Busters!”, but I won’t do the same here because it’s kinda confusing to read. lol.)
These days are really busy for me at work, but I have plan to play Little Busters during the time I have no or just one project. 🙂 I’ve been told by someone who also enjoys playing visual novels that this one’s gameplay is so different from the others we have played so far (Kanon, Clannad, Ever 17, 999, etc). How? I’ll find out when I finally play it. I have also been told that it’s a very fun VN.
Let’s start with the download link to the English Patch:

Symphonic Rain (Visual Novel) – Game Walkthrough
Symphonic Rain (Shinfonikku Rein) is a visual novel developed by Kogado Studio. I have played several visual novels in the past, but this one is different, reason being the music games / rhythm games in it.
I wasn’t a fan of music games, but I have to admit that I enjoy playing the rhythm games of Symphonic Rain. 🙂 The songs are also beautiful that they keep playing inside my head.
You play as Chris Vertin, a fortell (fictional keyboard-type music instrument) player studying in Piova Music Institute, in a city where rain never stops falling. Each route is basically all about you finding a vocalist to pair with for your graduation recital, while having a long-distance relationship with Arietta, the girlfriend of Chris.
Following are links to guides / walkthrough to the game Symphonic Rain:
