I was about to write again when I realized that I had started writing a few days back and never got around to continuing it. Anyways, I'll write about that later.
So today, I ended my enforced "hermitage" by going to PCSC to get my recommendation letter and then to the NBI Carriedo to renew my clearance for 2008. Prior to going there, my mom asked me to call the NSO Helpline (02 737 1111) about how they go about the whole process. The customer care person was patient enough to answer my queries and explained the details they needed such as name (of course), place of birth, etc. and the payment through Metrobank which would cost around three hundred pesos for one copy of a birth certificate. After my phone call, had a quick shower, breakfast and then I went to Pasay and then to NBI.
Going there was pretty easy and as I was lining up in Step 1, I was lulled into this false sense of security there weren't long lines...but boy, was I WRONG!!! When I went to the second floor, oh no....there were long lines everywhere. Lines at Step 2, more lines at Step 3 and even longer lines at Step 4. I saw on TV once, on a tv show at Net 25, I think it was Tribe that the best time to go there was around 3 pm...so WRONG!!!! The afternoon is like the worse time to be there...hehehe...the lines were horrendous in Step 5. I think even worse than those NFA lines that I see on TV. Luckily, I can skip fingerprinting since I'm only renewing and the line there wasn't long. Now, all I have to do is claim it on Monday...and I'll be sure to go there early to avoid the long lines...no more afternoon delights for me...hehehe...it was certainly no delight.
