Not that I remember exactly what the NBI Clearance renewal/application was like when I last tried to get one (4 years ago) but I can say that the current process is not so bad because Step 1 (filling out the application form) and Step 2 (payment) can already be done online. After completing the online […]

How to get Pag-IBIG Contribution Printout (Makati II Branch and others)
Being employed in the Philippines requires that we contribute to Home Development and Mutual Fund (HDMF) / Pag-IBIG Fund. If you are about to be employed and had been previously employed with another company, your new employer might require you to submit Pag-IBIG Contribution Printout as one of their pre-employment requirements. As of this time, you won’t be […]
Get a Cedula in Sta. Cruz / Manila City Hall (Not available in our barangay hall)
Cedula is a requirement for a place that I’d like to rent. To me, it’s not easy to get because the barangay hall near my address (Santa Cruz, Manila) doesn’t issue Cedula, and the city hall is not close enough to my house for me to avoid being absent from work. I’m assuming city halls […]
Patch Cafe: a place I’ll surely visit again in Baguio for yummy food and drinks
Next time we visit Baguio, I’d like to eat a meal and dessert at Patch Cafe again! And possibly stay at Bloomfield Hotel, since that’s where Patch Cafe is. 😆 Our third day in Baguio last long weekend was our last day. We weren’t sad to be going soon because we were already satisfied in […]
Tasty food and good beers at Baguio Craft Brewery
On our second evening at Baguio City last long weekend, my companion wanted to taste some beer at Baguio Craft Brewery. It’s in Marcos Highway, and we took a taxi to get there from Microtel. I’m not good at handling alcoholic drinks, so food was main motive at Baguio Craft Brewery. hehehe. I only sipped […]
A nice Filipino lunch with dessert at “Green Pepper” in Ketchup Food Community
On our second day in Baguio last long weekend, we went sight-seeing at Mines View and Wright Park. After enjoying the views, our feet brought us [with growling stomachs] to Ketchup Food Community. We wanted to try Canto but were not willing to fall in the looong line of people waiting to be seated. We […]
How to open a checking account at BPI
The need for a checking account came in my life. 😆 It’s for a monthly bill that requires “checks”. BPI was my first option because I would be able to easily transfer funds online from my savings account into my newly created checking account. I dislike going to banks to fall in line and deposit, so […]
Another dinner at Glenn 50’s Diner
2 years ago I had my first dinner at Glenn 50’s Diner. I ordered fried chicken, expecting it to be just enough amount for 1 person, but they served me 3 huge pieces of chicken. Sulit, right? Their foods are also delicious, and having their ice cream milkshake with your meal is mandatory. :3 This […]
“Everything Nice Cake Shop and Cafe” lunch after Camp John Hay strolling in Baguio
On our first day in Baguio on a recent long weekend, we went strolling at Camp John Hay. After the tiring walk, we helped ourselves to a brunch at Everything Nice Cake Shop and Cafe. Before I talk about the food at Everything Nice Cake Shop and Cafe, let me share some Camp John Hay […]
Our Stay at Microtel by Wyndham – Baguio
Baguio is one of the places that me and a certain companion enjoy visiting. The cold climate and the closeness to nature help us relax. During our recent trip, we decided to stay at Microtel, major reasons being its location — very close to Victory Liner terminal, and its breakfast buffet. We arrived early on […]
