How to get to the Philippine Senate Office

Monday, December 10th, 2007

If you’re here because you are googling for a guide of how to get the the Philippine Senate office easily, then, congratulations! You came to the right place, at the right time, in the right blog, and the right blog post.! Hurray! Hep Hep Hurray!

I will be blogging now about my experience, about my terrible experience perhaps, in locating the Philippine Senate Office. I was so disappointed of all the taxi drivers because they don’t know where the Senate Office is. 100% of the taxi drivers don’t know where the Senate office is located. Why 100%? Because the 3 drivers of the 3 taxi cabs that I rode don’t know where the heck is the Senate office. If only one of them knows where the Senate office is, the percentage should only be 66%. Hehehe. (Ang gulo ko :P).

So, how to get to the Senate office easily and without hassle. First, you should have a car, and ask someone to guide you where the Senate office is, then, that’s it, if that “someone” knows where is the Senate office, then you’re very lucky to have that “someone” with you. But, if he/she don’t know where is it located, then you’re unlucky.

That’s all for now… Thanks :)

P.S.: If you’re curious, and wants to know what’s my purpose in going to the Senate, just leave me a comment, and I’ll answer you. Bwahehehe :P

I Only Have 1 Valid ID, Western Union Needs 2

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

Western Union Logo
Western Union needs two valid IDs in order for you to claim the money transferred to you. However there were some branches here in Manila that accepts only 1 valid ID. But before that, I would like to share a very short story of my experience in claiming a small amount sent to me through WU. I was pissed off at first when I tried to claim a “money transfer” from Western Union, M Lhuillier, Blumentritt Branch. (more…)

A Glimpse of Greenbelt 5

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

For those who have not yet seen and for those who are interested to take a glimpse of the newest addition to the spectacular malls of Ayala, here it is! the fifth Greenbelt situated at the heart of Makati. Greenbelt 5 also known as GB5 is the newest Ayala mall that was opened last… ahmmm..? I really don’t know when is the exact date it was opened, we’re just surprised (Batang Yagit, Inzy, and I) that it was now open to the public. We took a quick stroll inside this mall before Batang Yagit’s flight to Davao City. We were just curious if it was open or not, that’s why we are very eager to take a closer look at it, or possibly get inside this fresh-from-the-oven Ayala mall.

Inside Greenbelt 5

Those are some of the photos we’ve taken inside Greenbelt 5. Only a few number of stores are open inside this luxurious mall. As you’ve noticed, it has a state-of-the-art architecture, its chandeliers are like extravagant stalactites exclaiming its exquisite and lavishing beauty. The random arrangement of stairs is like a replica of famous architectural landmark that I really can’t recall what it is. The lights above its atrium resembles a not-so-alien-like constellation and a montage of an out-of-this-world edifice.

To come to an end, Greenbelt 5 is just another masterpiece of Pinoys, and something that we Filipinos should be very proud of… (naks naman…)

P.S.: To those who have not yet experienced GB5, visit it now, and be one of the first to enjoy the latest Ayala mall.

Commute Tayo

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

Kakapagod pala mag commute from Manila to Alabang! Waaaah! Di ko na to kaya. 5:00AM palang dapat gising na me. Then log in sa Savant, tapos punta ng ADEC naku po 2 hours na byahe everyday! I travel daily na parang Sta. Maria (Isang bayan sa lalawigan ng Davao del Sur) to Davao City. Para sa mga di taga Davao, di kayo makaka relate gano kalayo araw araw ang biyahe para makapag work. hehehe…

Sasakay ng LRT, bababa sa Gil Puyat (Buendia), sasakay nanaman ng Bus Papuntang Ayala, Bababa nanaman sa Ayala at maglalakad ng mga 300 meters para makadating sa Train Station, este, Bus Station papuntang Alabang. Pagdating sa Alabang sasakay nanaman ng PUJ na Zapote para maka dating sa ADEC. Pag dating sa may Toyota na Factory, bababa na at mag lalakad papasok sa isang Village kung saan may Gate para makapasok ng American Data Exchange, whew! Hanep ang trip ko ang layo layo layo. Pero ok lang yun refund naman lahat pati pagkain at pamasahe ko, at habang nag byabyahe may sahod na, at habang pauwi may sahod parin, at hanggang sa makapag log out ako sa Manila Office. hehehe yun ang masaya, pero kakapagod nga lang. Nasanay kasi ako na ang office ay nasa harap lang ng boarding house, at isang minuto lang nasa office na me, at nasa harap pa ng SM yung office kaya another 1 minute nasa SM na me. Yun ang buhay doon, di tulad dito, bawal pagkain sa desktop, bawal tubig, bawal labas labas. Dapat per oras ang labas at monitored lahat ng kilos at galaw mo. Parang US Navy. Hehehe. yun lang po share ko lang ang moments of happiness ko dito. nyahahahah!

48 hours awake times 2

Friday, December 29th, 2006

From the time I visited Davao del Sur (One of the Provinces of Davao City) to see my uncle’s wake I am 48 hours awake. I went to NAIA (Terminal 2 - Centennial) at exactly 11:00 PM, December 21, 2006 where I stayed and waited for my flight to Davao. I just strolled around the airport, took some unusual pictures while waiting for the check-in counter to open at 2:30 AM, 22nd of December, 2006. After a few hours of waiting, the check-in counter opens and began to accept passengers who were tirelessly waiting for the said booth to open.
I went on board PAL Flight PR816 at 4:00AM, and the plane took off at 5:00AM. I arrived in Davao City at 6:45AM. 8:15AM at the Davao City Bus Terminal, I travelled for 1 hour and 30 minutes, the finally set my foot on Digos City, where I transferred to a bus, heading to Sta. Maria Davao del Sur. I arrived in my hometown at 11:30AM. I took my lunch, and went to the sala with my cousins to talk about something that is not quite interesting to you, but very much interesting to us. Hehe… I was awake througout the day, til dawn, and went asleep at 6:00AM, December 23, 2006. Whew!

Then, before going home (26th of December 2006). I played Scwable with my cousins (A new version of Scrabble, under beta testing, and we are the beta testers, nyahaha). From 6:00PM of December 25 to 4:30 AM of the day after. At 4:30AM, I went to my room, and began packing up my clothes, and other to-bring things to Manila. I went to the Sta. Maria terminal at 5:00AM, then took the first bus trip to Digos City. Then, took another bus at Digos, and finally, arrived on Davao City at 8:30AM. I went to our boarding house, in the place called Obrero (Davao City) and took a 5 minute nap, visited to USeP (University of Southeastern Philippines - my college alma matter) to take some pictures, had a breakfast at McDonald’s Bajada, withdrawed some amount from BDO ATM Machine, Land Co. Tower, went shopping at Aldevinco (the premier shopping place of “pasalubong” in Davao City), took my lunch at Victoria Plaza with some of my college friends, then went to the airport at 1:30 PM to check-in, waited for my flight to Manila (3:35PM, Flight PR816), and took the flight after waiting (of course). I arrived at 5:05PM (GMT+8) on NAIA Terminal 2 - Centennial. Went to my boarding house (sa may herrera street, sta. cruz, manila) to leave my things then to SM San Lazaro with Elve, had a dinner with her at Kenny Roger’s, watched MP5 (Mano Po 5 - Last Full Show). Tapos (pagod na ako mag english, whew) Pumunta sa Sykes, Gil Puyat, Makati, para ihatid si sweetypie ko. Then went home again (the said boarding house) at 2:00 AM in the morning and fell asleep!! Whatta Day! Ang Saya :)
