i just want to curl up with a good book and a hot bowl of sopas today, but i'm already at work... and it's ok. ^_^ thank God the rain has stopped.
considering what just happened was not caused by a typhoon and there isn't a storm signal, it's pretty scary. flood everywhere, stranded people, and land slides. even work had to be suspended yesterday --it takes a lot, and i mean A LOT to have work suspended by our company HR. (yes, they're basically heartless, don't get me started)
something like this just leaves us helpless; encouraging full dependence on God alone.
with that, i'm including a pic that has made me smile today:
after n years of commuting and enduring the pains of mrt hazards, i finally decided to get my student permit. it was either this or a permit to carry (smirk) as i really need to defend myself from the other passengers nowadays. i opted for the lesser evil. simple joy #7.
here's a layman's run through as based on my experience in their san juan branch. first, obtain an application form from the man at the first desk you see when you enter the establishment. you will have to provide him a copy of your birth certificate, which he will attach to the form before handing to you. fill out the form, making sure you write legibly. for someone like me who's already employed, your tin will be required; a photocopy of your tin id will help. in my case, i had a photocopy of the e-confirmation. after filling out the form, the tin id photocopy and a makeshift oath that you will be required to read out loud (just for them to make sure you can actually read) will also be attached to the application you just filled up. you will then be directed to the evaluator window. once you have submitted your form, sit back and wait to be called. the lady will be calling you to the window for some follow up and/or further questions and clarifications on the documents. another call will lead you to the picture taking and electronic signature thing. simply look at the webcam through the window and smile (or not, if you'd prefer a badass pic on your license to hopefully scare off the buwayas). after a few minutes, it'll be the cashier window for the necessary dues. for mine, it was 317.63php. i would advise bringing smaller bills for the obvious reasons. in less than five minutes your student permit will be released. voila! complete with the hideous picture (no matter how prettily you grinned) and weirdly scrunched signature. yay! the whole process took me less than an hour.
in other news, i have new shoes. ^_^ pictures later.
