PRODDED

I haven't been officially working for these past few days.  I am greatful that i don't have much work nowadays. I could push myself to go to Makati and use Richards' PS2. But lately, since i am determined to go to Paris next year, i started from scratch.

I don't have any offical ID except for my company ID, my alumni ID and my Timezone card. I still lack 2 essential IDs needed for a passport application. I got my new TIN card after an hour and then i went to the NSO near MCdo in QC. I was told i was at the wrong building so i went to the branch in east ave. The mother of all branches. And surprisingly it was a breeze to get an authenticated birth certificate. Just 2 days. No queueing lines like the ones i do every fucking payday. Then the most shalang government building that i saw was the SSS at east Ave. i have to get a an SSS card. This one was a bit organized and i had to line-up a bit but it was ok. But i get to have the ID in a month or so to be delivered in my mom's house.

Working for the government must be something else. You work 8-5 and  you greet almost a line of people wanting to finish early. You don't have time to pee lest you'd be branded in their slogan " mamayan muna hindi mamaya na" eh paano kung naiihi na nga di ba? eh di mamaya na. or saglit lang.

I even laminated my TIN card complete with picture. But i have to go to the DFA. And really file an application. I don't know where the hell is the DFA. There are some agencies that fix that stuff for a thousand bucks. But i'd rather go personally. Para naman may visual experience.

And if schedules, plans, chakras, time and space will comply. Another newbie expedition is set on the month of romance to the land of romance and illusion---Paris!

This has been my sanctuary for four years already. It's my extension. Almost like a limb out in the open. Know that people want to express, to just chuck it out, to just be themselves even on something as artificial as blog. I am that people. So don't mind me...
