April Friday the 13th
I just want to share my Friday the 13th experience. I was in PAGIBIG office to pay the amortization and membership of my aunt. I forgot to bring the receipts but I didn't worry at all because I'll have my brother bring them. I fell in line to get a priority number for payment. The cut-off is 4:00 PM and it's around 3:40 when I arrived. Usually, the person in charge will just ask what do you need and they'll give you a priority number. Well, this particular employee ( I will name him STU for stupid. Sorry for the word but I just can't help calling him that way. Forgive me.), asked what type of payment will I do. By the way, Stu is the same employee I encountered before and asked for the same thing. I said amortization that time and he asked me to get a payment order form first before he will give me the priority number. So I did what he asked me to and fell in line again to get the priority number. And now, knowing that he will ask me to do it again, I said membership this time with the thought that he will give me the priority number. But he asked for the receipt and he won't give me a priority number without it. I said I left it but somebody is on the way to bring the receipt. I know for a fact that the receipt is needed by the cashier. But the point is, I just want to get the priority number for 2 reasons. First, it's almost 4:00 PM and that's the cut-off. My brother will arrive most likely after that time. Second, if you have a priority number already, you will still have to wait for around an hour and a half to two hours for your turn. So I'm just saving myself some time because I don't want to wait that long again. But Stu insisted and instead asked me to get a payment order form. The payment order form is needed if you will pay the amortization. Well that's a different thing for the payment for membership. It just aggravated me because he's the only employee who does that. Other employees will just ask what you need and if you say payment, they will give you the priority number for payment right away without any questions. And Stu's insisting that this is the implementation and they've been doing that for a long time. He's so wrong. Even the lady after me complained because she was not given the priority number too. My patience was tested that time and I answered him back with not so nice words. I know it's not good but I just can't stand being pushed away by a government employee who doesn't know how to deal with other people. We're not paying a large amount of tax every payday to be treated like that by a government employee. I hope he'll realize that the salary he's getting is from us. This is not a big deal anyway but I'm very aggravated. Next time, I'll just make sure that I bring the receipts.
Next, I went to Jollibee to order C1 - Chicken Joy + Rice + Drinks and C3 - Chicken Joy + Jolly Spaghetti + Drinks. I asked if possible the chicken part is thigh or breast. Unfortunately, only drumstick and wings are available, which I don't like. I don't like because for me, it's not worth of what I will be paying. If I eat in carenderias or chicken stores, drumsticks and wings are the cheapest. I know this is a silly reasoning but I'm not really comfortable of eating drumstick and wings in Jollibee. It's not SULIT. Why will I settle for something less if I can get more. There's nothing I can do about it anyway, not a happy camper though.
So there you go. What a friday the 13th experience. Not to mention not having sales at work and getting a not so high salary. I will not go into details. Enough said.

District 12's Earth Hour
I know this is a bit too late. I just want to share my Earth Hour experience last March 31, 2012. I went to Persimmon to join the Earth Hour Trivia Night. I'm supposed to be with my former coworkers that time. Apparently, they're still in Slumber Land. I felt bad a bit, because I've been reminding them of this date. Good thing, my friend Cristine was on the way to our boarding house so I invited her. It's just the two of us who joined and we called our team DISTRICT 12. Awesome name, right? We didn't do well though, but I enjoyed it. Our final score is 22. Anyway, it was fun and I hope I could join another round of Trivia Night. I also won a 100 pesos worth of Gift Certificate from Mr. Coffee in the raffle. Nothing to lose. :D

| A whopping score of 22. At least we're not the last. |

The Hunger Games Experience
I've watched the advanced screening of this movie last March 21 with my friends. I haven't finished reading the book yet but I enjoyed this movie. It felt like I'm a teenager again since most of the moviegoers that time were like teens. Overall the movie was great but Harry Potter is still the best movie adaptation for me *bias*. I'm looking forward to the sequel of this movie, Catching Fire. That would be a long wait. I'll promise I'll finish reading the book.
It looks like Mark Read didn't enjoy the movie. I just saw his FB post about the movie. It's funny because he can't relate. LOL. Well, I think the movie is really for teens and young adults.
The Making of The Vision of Love
Here's the video of the making of Kris Allen's latest single, The Vision of Love. Cool song. Enjoy. ☺
